Film meme ^_^
Meme ganked from Katy's blog ^_^
Pick fifteen quotes from films you like. When people guess them correctly, cross them off.
1. "Let's leave inconspicuously...via the window." Batman, Batman: The Movie (1966). Called by Becky, who is duly ashamed.
2. "Sure, baby - but did it see you?" Mr Neck, Cold Comfort Farm. Called by Nee-sama, which doesn't surprise me in the least.
3. "Because I just went GAY all of a sudden!" Dr David Huxley, Bringing Up Baby. A fine call by Andrew. One which I shall perhaps not allow him to live down.
4. "I marvel at you after all these years. Still like a democratic drawbridge: going down for everybody."
5. "End of song: beginning of story." Louis Armstrong, High Society. Called by Nee-sama. I am so damn proud. I made her watch *50s technicolour musicals*. And what's worse, she *remembers* bits of them. Bwahahahaha.
6. "Men like him should be shot down like dogs!"
7. "Why don't you reach in and grab it? If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never stick your hand in viscous substances." Carl, Van Helsing. Called by Becky. Though I'm wondering whether other people may have got it first and just been prevented by shame from admitting it.
8. "All we are is dust in the wind, dude. Dust...wind. Dude." Ted 'Theodore' Logan, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Called by Katy, by a whisker ^_^
9. "Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist." Westley, The Princess Bride. Called by Becky. Totally unsurprisingly.
10. "X never, ever marks the spot." Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Called by Becky. I'm kinda impressed, I thought that was a random-ass one ^_^
11. "Nothing? Nothing? NOTHING, tra la la?" Jareth, Labyrinth. Called by Becky. Again, totally unsurprisingly.
12. "Hail to the Prof. of Geology..." The entire student body of Edinburgh university (no, really), Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Total kudos to Lizzu for this one ^____^ This film owns, more people should have seen it.
13. "Do sit down, Sergeant. Shocks are so much better absorbed with the knees bent."
14. "Name a shrub after me - something prickly and hard to eradicate." Jack Aubrey, Master and Commander. Called by Katy.
15. "You fight like my sister!" "I've fought your sister, that's a compliment!" Miguel and Tullio, Road to El Dorado. Called by Laura.

Well, 8 is Bill, from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. 14 is incredibly familiar. >_

Number 3 is Bringing Up Baby..Cary Grant, but I can't remember the character name!
And the dust in the wind one is Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, obviously.

I *think* 14 is Master and Commander. Possibly Russell Crowe's character...

I suspect one may be Batman? maybe....

Dude, you're *so* not allowed to go 'one of them may be Batman' :D
Posted by: Calliope | March 4, 2005 12:24 AM
no! I meant that 1 is Batman. I think.
And 10 is Indiana Jones and the last crusade. maybe.

so very, very ashamed. 7 is Van Helsing. *goes to hide*

15 is from The Road to El Dorado. But it might be from something else as well, because
the Bill and Ted quote is also used in Jimmy Neutron o.O;;
(I've never seen a Bill and Ted film all the way through!)

2. I read or heard this quote the other day I KNOW I DID AARGH. *headdesk*
15. ROAD TO EL DORADO GLEE. And everyone's already called everything else, although I'm sure I should know number 12 too...

Is it wrong that i have the tune from number 12 indelibly imprinted on my brain? From Journey To The Centre of The Earth, and sung by assorted students of a highly enthusiastic nature.
