A Movie Meme! (Also: I lose at flist!)

[eponymous_rose]

First off, an extremely happy belated birthday to wheresmycow and bellabelball! I can't believe I missed them both - hope you guys had awesome days and will celebrate today as well. :D

This one's snagged from rachelbeann, because it is made of awesome. I'm going to do it first with movies, then with TV shows, because I'm just ornery that way (and because my taste in movies doesn't seem to overlap much with my taste in TV shows - why is that?). Also, I love quoting things at you. :D

1. Pick 15 10 of your favourite movies and 10 of your favourite TV shows.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.

(Some of these are such total classics that I had a hard time not going with giveaway lines.)

:

#1.
A: What's the last thing that you do remember?
B: My wife...
A: That's sweet.
B: ...dying.
(Memento - rosa_acicularis got it!)

A: I'd like to have your advice on how to live comfortably without working hard.

(The Usual Suspects - rapunzelita got it!)

#4.
A: What country you from?

A: What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
B: What?
(Pulp Fiction - stunt_muppet got it!)

#5.
A: September 28th, 1997. It is exactly 11am. At the funfair, near the ghost train, the marshmallow twister is twisting. Meanwhile, on a bench in Villette Square, Félix Lerbier learns there are more links in his brain than atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, at the Sacré Coeur, the nuns are practising their backhand. The temperature is 24°C, humidity 70%, atmospheric pressure 990 millibars.
(Amelie - kindkit got it!)

#6.
A: You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American.
B: We musn't underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918.
(Casablanca - biichan got it!)

(Doctor Who - stunt_muppet got it!)

#4.
A: A life, [B], you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come.

#5.
A: Don't you watch any horror movies? My soul is doomed to walk the earth until justice has been served...
B: Really?
A: Yeah. That, and as kind of a side project, I dispense fashion advice.
(Veronica Mars - wondygal got it!)

#6.
A: I'm not up on that new stuff.
B: You're not up on it? Or you're not into it?
A: I might be into it, if I was up on it. But I'm not up on it, so I'm not into it. What I'm into, I'm up on.
C: I'm mostly into what I'm up on, but even though I'm not up on the new stuff, I'm sort of into it.

(House - rapunzelita got it!)


EDIT: *cackles madly* Two of the memes I invented earlier this year are making a comeback. The internet is mine! :D

Comments

I think #5 of the movies is Amelie.

I also think I should recognize a lot of the others, but I don't.

[viedma.livejournal.com]

The only one I got was Movies #7, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The rest, I got nuthin.

[rapunzelita.livejournal.com]

FILM #3 IS USUAL SUSPECTS WHICH I JUST SAW ON TV YAY ME. (Sorry about the capslocks. I'm currently in my "lack of sleep whee overexcited!" mode. And not really coherent.)

Film #5 is Amélie :D

TV show #10 is House.

("To see with eyes unclouded by hate." Damn, that line really rings a bell. ;_;)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Right on!

I really picked a lot of the more obscure quotes for most of these. And a bunch are... fairly obscure to begin with. But it was fun looking for the quotes! :D

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yup, got it! (It was tricky not coming up with a dead giveaway quote for that one.)

[bellabelball.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the birthday wishes! <3

I recognize #4, just can't remember what it's from! That line is hilarious though. :)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

HOORAY USUAL SUSPECTS! :D I wasn't sure who would get that one. Good movie! I need to watch it again...

Got all three! (Though kindkit beat you to Amélie - and I need to watch this one again, too. Ooh, and I have it on my bookshelf! Homework, you can wait for a couple hours.)

"To see with eyes unclouded by hate."

That's another pretty obscure one, in some crowds. There are a few people here, I think, who'll figure it out right away, though. :D

(Tried to go with as much of a variety of shows as possible - but now I keep thinking of ones I forgot to put up there!)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Hope you had a really good one - I hereby offer you a fic of your choice as penance for the late birthday wishes. :D

I recognize #4, just can't remember what it's from! That line is hilarious though. :)

The next line in the scene would've made it instantly recognisable. ;)

[drox.livejournal.com]

Is #10 (movies) "the Sixth Sense"?

[whorl.livejournal.com]

#8 (TV) is from the X Files, A is Frohike and B is Mulder.

(:

[wondygal.livejournal.com]

TV #1 is The West Wing, In Excelcis Deo, Josh and the President. (who, me, obsessed?)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Nice catch! That's another one I was having trouble doing without being way too obvious. :D

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Huzzah, yes! :D

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

"I believe I would eat this book before I read it. "

I love that show way more than is probably healthy. :D As soon as I started browsing the "quotes" section, I knew I'd just have to pick one and get out of there, or I'd be tempted to make a whole West Wing quote-spam of power. Hee!

[manji-chan.livejournal.com]

#9 under movies is from Princess Mononoke, isn't it?

#2 under tv shows is from the lost room.
(I've always wanted the bus ticket, myself.)

And that's all I've got.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Ooh, got both of 'em! (I thought you'd probably be the one to get #9.)

Wasn't sure if anyone else had seen The Lost Room - good show! :D

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

4 in Movies: Pulp Fiction? Must have tricky not coming up with givaway lines for that.

3. Fourth Doctor? I think? Yes, I think it is.

Hee, I love this meme. It brings out the film geek in me.

[rosa-acicularis.livejournal.com]

A: She can't act, she can't sing, she can't dance. A triple threat.

Singing in the Rain FTW, baby.

A: What's the last thing that you do remember?
B: My wife...
A: That's sweet.
B: ...dying.

Is this...Momento? Am I insane?

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Hooray, good calls on both! :D

I love this meme, too!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Is this...Momento? Am I insane?

Yes to both, obviously! :D

Wow - everyone's frighteningly good at this.

[wheresmycow.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And yes, I did have a lovely birthday, with flowers!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Ooh, flowers! That's great! :D

If you'd like a birthday-present type fic of any sort, I'd be more than happy to oblige!

[wheresmycow.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Really? *much evil* Because I've still got this forlorn little plot bunny named Bernard which involves 1969, Ten, Martha, Withnail, Marwood, and an amnesiac Eight all colliding in Camden Town...(with Shalka!Doctor as punchline? Or is that a bit too much? Yes, evil. :D)

[wondygal.livejournal.com]

"Well, nothing says Christmas like animal fables in iambic verse." :D West Wing does give escellent quotage.

I am sure I know #5 of the tv ones. Except I don't know. It's not Veronica Mars, is it?

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Hee! I would be more than happy to give poor little Bernard a home at some point in the near(ish) future! :D That is all kinds of awesome.

*ponders*

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yup, you got it! :D Another show I'm probably ready to watch again. Oh, this meme's just eating all my spare time in advance, isn't it?

[wondygal.livejournal.com]

Also, I clearly can't spell. Excellent. Excelsis

[wheresmycow.livejournal.com]

*squee!* YES! Especially since your fics are insanely fabulous. *dances*

[bellabelball.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yay! Something fluffy or silly then, with any Classic Who characters? (I like to be surprised.) *bounce* :)

Ah yes, Pulp Fiction, of course! It's been too long since I've seen it last.

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

Is #9 of tv Twin Peaks?

I am so doing this tomorrow.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Whee, yup! :D

(I wound up spending about an hour just reading all the quotes I could find for most of these. Fun meme!)

Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow! *cracks knuckles*

[biichan.livejournal.com]

Six is CASABLANCA! I do believe it is even one by Louis! (Oh Louis. You are so sleazy and yet I love you so much.)

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Hee! Good call on that one - and Louis did say it! :D (But I don't know if anyone's gonna get the last quote - it's a bit obscure. And the three TV shows aren't particularly obvious either.)

Of course, I saw this comment right after writing Six!fic and was all: "Six is Casablanca?"

I think my brain exploded from crossover.

[pockyandkoalas.livejournal.com]

AM STEALING THIS.
I don't think I know any of the ones left...

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's a fun meme, indeed. :D

(And the ones that're left are pretty obscure.)

[biichan.livejournal.com]

You should write the crossover for tomorrow, srsly.

[lookatmoiye7.livejournal.com]

I won't pretend to know ANY of these, but...

YOU MADE UP MEMES??? I always wanted to do that! I can just never think of anything. Which ones are they?

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

That really long-winded Doctor Who one going around (though people keep modifying it) and the semi-drabble one (as done, awesomely, over here (http://stunt-muppet.livejournal.com/62548.html)). I love being able to cackle evilly at all the "Well, that's just a stupid question." comments. :D

[whorl.livejournal.com]

I KNEW I knew TV #7 from someplace, but I didn't remember what it was from before I stumbled over it while compiling my own list, so now I can't play. *slaps forehead*

(:

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

I wonder what it could be from? Whatever could it be from?

Okay, okay. I think most people have probably guessed already that're gonna. ;)

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

"Six is Casablanca?"

LOLS

(I totally want there to be a fic where Three and Liz turn up at Rick's Cafe Americain... but I have this horrible habit of particularly liking characters who do awesomer snark than I can write. Bogey's top of the list. *sadface*)
