Double points this week

[ericcoleman]

I revised the hint a little, it was unclear ... see the bold below. I would also like to point out that nobody has guessed an example of the theme, so there are still answers available. If you have guessed a movie, you can still guess an example of the theme.

Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

The theme has been answered by fredhuggins. The theme this week is movies with Spaceships

There are two answers to most of the questions this week, the movie that the quote is from, and an example of the theme. Each of these movies has an object in common, give me the name of that object. If that makes sense. ONE of these does not have a name that I could find. If you can name that particular one, I will give you a special prize ... really.

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these)

01 Did you hear something back there that sounds like there's something back there? In outer space no one can hear pheltzer say this is from Space Truckers. This is The Ship With No Name
02 Alert all commands. Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory. In outer space no one can hear bathtubnz say this is from The Empire Strikes Back, the Ship is The Millenium Falcon, guessed by naomikritzer
03 Half of writing history is hiding the truth. In outer space no one can hear bobolium say this is from Serenity, which is also the name of the Ship
04 Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded. In outer space no one can hear rsmit212 say this is from Alien, the Ship is The Nostromo guessed by bathtubnz
05 A mere speck? Texas a mere speck? In outer space no one can hear exapno say this is from Rocketship X-M, which is title AND ship (there are two of those this week)
06 I bet she gives great helmet. In outer space no one can hear fredhuggins say this is from Spaceballs, the Ship is The Spaceball One, but I also would have accepted The Eagle 5
07 I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. In outer space no one can hear controuble say this is from 2001: A Space Odyssey
08 You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. In outer space no one can hear noise626_m say this is from Event Horizon, but mike46 says that it is the name of the ship as well
09 I'm a doctor, not a space explorer. In outer space no one can hear bammba_m say this is from Lost In Space. The Ship is the Jupiter 2, guessed by wildcard9
10 Rubbish, we don't want to be happy, we want to be famous! In outer space no one can hear tony_goldmark say this is from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, and the Ship is The Heart Of Gold

No clue on the theme, but 6 is Spaceballs. Is the object, in that case, a helmet?

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

On the quote that is, but it is not a helmet ...

[bathtubnz.livejournal.com]

06 is Space Balls. Is the theme 'ships' or 'commanders' something like that?

[bathtubnz.livejournal.com]

doh too slow, then 2 is Empire Strikes back I think.

[tony-goldmark.livejournal.com]

10 is from the 2005 "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" movie. The object? I dunno, the Guide itself?

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

As for the theme ... no, the Guide does not show up in any of the other movies. But they do all have something in common.

Yeah - one I've seen

#7 - 2001 A Space Odyssey

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[fredhuggins.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... is the object for 6 Lone Star's pendant thing?

Is the theme "things you carry with you in space"?

[ericcoleman]

It is a common object ... these movies all have an object in common

[rsmit212.livejournal.com]

4 is Alien. Is the object a moon?

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

But no on the moon ... the theme has been answered ... so come up with the answer quickly

[tanac.livejournal.com]

common object = space ship? (so easy, and yet)

Missed by THAT much

[ericcoleman]

You are correct ... but someone beat you to it.

#8 is Event Horizon..

[noise626.livejournal.com]

..a darn spooky little flick actually :)

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[tony-goldmark.livejournal.com]

The spaceship from 10 is the Heart of Gold.

FINALLY !!!

[ericcoleman]

Someone guesses a SHIP !!!

And correctly too.

[naomikritzer]

I don't know which movie it is, but the object in #9 is surely the Enterprise.

[naomikritzer]

Whoops, I answered two. But I'm answering objects, not quotes. Can they each count for half? :-)

[bobolium.livejournal.com]

#3 serenity I think?

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

But is that guess for the movie, or the object ??? (it's both)

[bobolium.livejournal.com]

Was going for the movie - Would take both, but really isn't fair...

[ericcoleman]

S'ok, I gave you the point.

[xap]

#5 (title) = Rocketship X-M
are we supposed to try for both for a particular question? or one-answer-limit is one total, or one of each, or i'm just thoroughly confused (on this issue - we all know i am on Life in general *grin*)

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

Title AND ship ...

[controuble.livejournal.com]

Is HAL the name of the ship or just the computer in #7? I don't remember any other names, just Dave and HAL.

[ericcoleman]

HAL is the name of the computer, not the ship.

Oh i know!!!

[bammba-m.livejournal.com]

#9: Lost in Space!!

i don't remember a name for the ship.

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[mike46.livejournal.com]

#8 is from Event Horizon, which is also the name of the ship. A nice sci-fi horror flick.

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[pheltzer.livejournal.com]

I know the movie for #1... it's Space Truckers... just can't recall if it was Dennis Hopper's character who said it or not. And I'll be damned if I remember the character name... John something or other.

[pheltzer.livejournal.com]

Would help if I read more carefully... you're looking for the ship name... as far as I can tell the truck didn't have a name... I could probably come up with a model number, but that would require google which is against the rules.

[wildcard9.livejournal.com]

Sneaking in here: the ship's name in number 9 is the Jupiter 2 (if it wasn't guessed already, it is not listed as of this post)

We Have A Winner !!!

[ericcoleman]

BING !!!

[wyngarde.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm sorry I missed this one...
