Well, I dunno about you guys, but I'm Poped out to the max . . . and since I can't seem to muster the anger necessary to take part in certain other games percolating around here, I figured it was time for some new fun.

Here's the premise: post a quote�one, single quote (not a list, fercryinoutloud)�from a movie. That's it.

Only it's not.

"There are rules, Jack."

Of course there are rules. You can't just pop your favorite quote up at random. You have to respond to the last quote someone posted with a movie quote of your own, as though you're involved in an ongoing conversation. You can "react" in agreement, anger, humor, surprise, or just general commentary, but it has to make some shred of sense as a follow-up to the previous quote.

And it has to be from a real movie�preferably a popular one. This isn't the place to show off your Sundance chops. It should be something most folks who are regular moviegoers will recognize. (If you think you're being a bit obscure, you might want to label your quote with the title of the film . . . though if you're on your A-game, you shouldn't have to.)

It should also be unique to the film. Stuff like "Impressive," and "I don't know," and "I'll never give up!" doesn't fly because those sorts of cliches are in a thousand movies. It also cannot be from the same movie as the previous quote (though it can come from a different movie in the same series).

Images and .gifs are allowed, even preferred. But you'll have to be quick with them, or someone else will jump in ahead of you and ruin your perfect rejoinder.

So take out that cinematic encyclopedia in your head and put it to some good (and hopefully fun!) use. It's time for some improvisational sports. The results should be a little Mad-Libbish, and make us all look smarter to boot. Dig deep. Free associate. And have fun stormin' the castle.

Since I'm bringing the game, I get to choose who goes first. And since I think the best answer from the recent Pope-pourri came from sorei, she gets to lead things off.

Ready?

"Here we GOOOOoooooowwwwww. . . ."

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Rhett Butler, Gone with the Wind

"I don't give a damn about my name"

"what's in a name?"

"Who . . . are you?"

I'M BATMAN!

"Who's your tailor?"

"Maybe, maybe not. You could say we're of two minds on the subject"

"Their simple minds came up with a simple trick!" -Duke Leto Atreides

"The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. . . ."

... i just have to respond, so i do not need to repeat a word from the quote that has beens posted before...right?

“They’ve done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.” — Anchorman

No. You don't have to repeat anything. And you don't have to post the title of the movie you're quoting—actually, it's more fun if you don't, because then people can have the added fun of guessing where you got your quote.

You only have to make it sound like it's a reply to the previous quote. So, in response to you, I say. . . .


I was told there'd be no math on this exam.


[NOTE: I'm throwing in another formatting tweak—you don't have to use quotation marks. It is, after all, a movie quote game, so that should be a given. Besides, it's more fun if it looks like we're the ones actually talking to each other.]

"You talkin' to me?"

What we have here is a failure to communicate. . . .

"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

Every man dies, not every man really lives.

If im not wrong it comes from Braveheart

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning...Smells like victory."

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning...Smells like victory."

Apocalypse Now


"Everyone in town knows who and where you are."

“Now, you’ve got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.”


@Zodiac:
great! I am lousy in recognising these :D

Okay . . . time out on the field. I think people are missing the point of the game here. The purpose is not simply to post a favorite quote. Nor is it to try to guess what movies other people's quotes came from—though that can be a fun game too, but it works better in person.

The idea is to respond directly to one another using only lines from popular movies. All these posts should only contain the lines themselves (unless you want to ask a side question about where someone's line came from, out of curiosity). The result should read like a twisted and funny sort of conversation. Here's a simple example:

Shriner A: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy!

Shriner B: Laugh it up, fuzzball.

Shriner C: Humor. It is a difficult concept. It is not logical.

Shriner D: It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logic or reasons can be found.


See? It's one after the other, each from a different movie, but keying off the one before it. (Which means you should never post twice in a row, unless you want people to think you're talking to yourself.) The early part of the thread was going fine, but we've gone a little off track now. Let's see if we can spin things in the right direction again.

So now . . . back on the record. sorei just posted:


“Now, you’ve got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.”

My response:

Have you tried talking to a corpse? It's boring.

“Demented and sad, but social.”

You just described every great success story.

“This is so bad it’s gone past good and back to bad again.”

...

I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad.




...

Were you quoting a pause from a popular movie, perhaps. . . ?

Good, Bad, I'm the guy with the gun.

Thought the game was something else. Edited my post when I realized it wasn't.

I cannot resist at this point:

"Go ahead, make my day"

I'm not doing anything if it's on an ironing board.

Perfectly understandable.

“I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”-

After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

What a eccentric performance.

I have a bad feeling about this.

We all go a little mad sometimes.

DON'T make me angry. You wouldn't **like** me when I'm angry.

DON'T make me angry. You wouldn't **like** me when I'm angry.

Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

There IS no spoon....

"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?" (The Blues Brothers - 1980)

"Is that one of Stark's?" (Patrick O'Brien Demsey - Thor 2011)

Do you know the firepower we’re talking about here? This is a violent work of art!

You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought (Star Wars)

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.

OK... First I'll access the secret military spy satelite that is in geosynchronous orbit over the midwest. Then I'll ID the limo by the vanity plate "MR. BIGGG" and get his approximate position. Then I'll reposition the transmission dish on the remote truck to 17.32 degrees east, hit WESTAR 4 over the Atlantic, bounce the signal back into the aerosphere up to COMSAT 6, beam it back to SATCOM 2 transmitter number 137 and down on the dish on the back of Mr. Big's limo... It's almost too easy.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people, people like you. Crimes the government considered "irrelevant." They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find *you*. (Person Of Interest)

"The government's been in bed with the entire telecommunications industry since the forties. They've infected everything. They get into your bank statements, computer files, email, listen to your phone calls... Every wire, every airwave. The more technology used, the easier it is for them to keep tabs on you. It's a brave new world out there. At least it'd better be." (Gene Hackman - Enemy of the State)

"In accordance to the principles of Doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact." Julia? Are you awake? There is truth, and there is untruth. To be in a minority of one doesn't make you mad.

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.
