Movie Quotes Game

[MrMxyzptlk]

It's been a week and it looks like nobody is jumping on that one.  Here's another one from the same movie.

"They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far."

Oh, that quote gave it away!

Iron Man (original)

[Lucky]

The original quote I was going to use was "They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once."

But I love how RDJ says "...aaaand it's worked out pretty well so far" in the movie

Go for it Mxy.

Those are actually quite excellent, stage-setting lines he utters, and better than most real "battle quotes" I've ever heard.

KK, next up!:


POPCORN! (Throws TV)

[jim360]

Umm... hint?

[MrMxyzptlk]

Umm... hint?

Hint: Spoken by one hit man, throwing the TV at another....  (I.e. It's a comedy drama....)


Second hint: If forum user Bob Marley read this it'd be answered by now!  ("Oh Baaaaahb where ARE youuuu?"  )

Main character, speaking to his psychiatrist: 'They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"'

'Shame that Bob Marley never saw this post....

T'was: Grosse Point Blank - Starring John Cusack



I don't want to leave this thread hanging again, so I'll post another one.

This one's likely a repeat, but IDC:


P1: "Why is there a watermelon there??"

P2: "I'll tell you later."

The films you watch seem to be too obscure for us, Mxy...

I vote new quote.

[MrMxyzptlk]

New quote it is!;

"May I pass along my congratulations for your great interdimensional breakthrough. I am sure, in the miserable annals of the Earth, you will be duly enshrined"

Hint: This line was OBVIOUSLY spoken by someone named "John!"

"May I pass along my congratulations for your great interdimensional breakthrough. I am sure, in the miserable annals of the Earth, you will be duly enshrined"

Heh. I just watched this again a couple of nights ago. Wonderful movie. :-)

I don't actually know the conventions of this game, though. Do I blurt out the answer? Do I have to/get to do something if I "win"?

Yes, you should blurt out the answer!

If correct, you WIN THE RIGHT TO POST THE NEXT QUOTE!

That (along with your previous quote, Mxy) is from the truly awesome Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. (Currently streamable on Netflix; if you haven't seen it, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. Note that it may take a couple of viewings to get your bearings, but it's totally worth it.)

I bought a copy of the out-of-print novelization on eBay a number of years ago, which includes an explanation (actually a couple of different explanations, both great) of why the watermelon was there in that earlier scene you quoted. And another really fun item: When New Jersey (Jeff Goldblum's character) is being introduced to Reno and Perfect Tommy, and he (New Jersey) is trying to act like he's a big fan of the comic books and knows them all, he mistakes each of them (in turn) for Pecos. And Reno, laughing, tells him, "Pecos is in Tibet." What he doesn't tell him is that Pecos is also female. :-)

New quote: (delivered deadpan) "Humor. It is a difficult concept."
