Movie Quiz 3

September 20, 2006 - -

Okay, I know I've been doing a lot of these recently, but I'm having fun with them. Don't worry - I will run out at some point.

Here are another ten movie quotes, sorted once again by what I feel is the difficulty. And PMD - this time, I expect you to throw out a couple guesses. :-)

As always, if you google the answers, no posting about them. Have fun.

  1. "I ask you, Father Crom, grant me victory, grant me revenge. And if you will not grant them to me, then the hell with you!"
  2. "You have the manners of a goat. And you smell like a dung-heap! And you have no knowledge whatsoever of your potential!"
  3. "Remember, Death Blossom delivers only one massive volley at close range... theoretically."
  4. "In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog!"
  5. "Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus two plus one plus one!"
  6. "1791 was the year it happened. I was 24, younger than you are now, but times were different then. I was a man at that age."
  7. "I am Ergo the magnificent. Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision."
  8. "When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot."
  9. "Today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus."
  10. "Hey... is that the cops? I'm an innocent victim in here! I was attacked by a coked up whore and a - a fuckin' crazy dentist!"

Damn - once again, you're right on top of these. You're wrong on #2 though. Sounds like I got blackjack on at least one with you though (explanation of WTF I mean here)

Nice - you even got Interview with a Vampire and Krull.

2,8, and 10 are the only remaining unguessed. I've got to start making these harder. :)

2. Highlander, one of the best movies of all time. There can be only one!
8. "Only thing I was ever good at." - that much more would have given it to me.

10. 12 Monkeys

Bang! That's the first time that all ten have been guessed. I'm impressed that you got the 12 Monkeys quote, Brandon. That's a hilarious quote, but fairly obscure.

Here's a cool movie game... almost worth it's own thread.

"50 Dark Movies, Hidden in a Painting" by M&M's Dark

P.S. Jupiter and Saturn about to crash near the top of the painting ISN'T the movie "Clash of the Titans."

Looked at it for a long time, and I could only get one. And that was because the one I got was in this quiz.

12 Monkeys is one of my favorite movies.

I wrote a college paper in a 300-level film class, analyzing the scene in the mansion on the spiral staircase where Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt) goes nuts. I analyzed the odd camera angles and what the director had intended to convey by this and by that. included the movie in another long paper I wrote, analyzing the time travel genre for a different media course.

It took me about 40 minutes to get 30 movies. Strangely, it became easier to guess the correct film as time went on... not more difficult.

8 in 14 minutes, but thought they were pretty lame.
 
Comment Thu, September 21 - 11:57 PM by Greg
You're right, I just went back and got 3 more. They're not clever at all - they're completely lame. But it's a cool idea, and I wish I had the Flash skillz to pull it off. I'm just more interested in XHTML than Flash.

*Completely* Lame!?!?

(In his best Cartman voice) Oh YEAH?!?! Well screw you guys, I'm goin' home!
