That quote game
Jan. 18th, 2007 12:13 pmI decided to pull some quotes out on some things I have watched (or wanted to watch) recently. Take a guess. There are some movies and some TV.
-----------------------------------
1- You know how it exhausts me to teach books I haven't read.
shsilver - Butley
2 - Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride.
braider - Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome
3 - I knew daredevils, and I ain't got nothin' against them, it's just they're all dead.
jermynsavile - The Stunt Man
4 - This is what I call a timely interruption! Though what'll come of it - the devil himself only knows!
shsilver - Captain Blood
5 - This place smells worse than a pair of armored trousers after the hundred year war. 1/2 point each

6 - There are five stages of love. The first is denial, then the second is sex, then there's acceptance, then there's divorce... and then there's more sex, if you're lucky.
nekhochan - Quantum Leap
7 - But, as a famous person once said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." And as I - another more famous person - once said, "If you don't teach them to read, you can fool them whenever you like."
shsilver - Max Headroom
8 - And that was only one of the many occasions on which I met my death, an experience which I don't hesitate to strongly recommend.

Date: 2007-01-19 06:05 pm (UTC)2. One of the Mad Max movies. I'd be more specific, but they're all the same.
4. Captain Blood
7. Max Headroom (but I prefer Frewer in Doctor, Doctor"
10. The Maltese Falcon (a perfectly meaningless, but nevertheless, great film).

Date: 2007-01-19 06:14 pm (UTC)I disagree on the Mad Max movies, they are all very different. The first is very personal and oddly claustrophobic, the second slam bang adventure from beginning to end, and the third an odd combo of the two.
King of Hearts is the better movie of the two, but Butley was Alan's finest performance ... but a considerable margin IMNSHO
You get points for all but the Mad Max ... gotta come up with the correct one
