The Movie Meme

Cool meme that I nicked from  [livejournal.com profile] dm_lunsford

Of course, I'm not sure I know how to strike out an entry. I also haven't figured out how to do that link thing .

 
That movie meme
 

1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.

1.) When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I only had two things on my mind. Paul Newman and  a ride home.
2.) Jacobs, what has been happening up till now? Jacobs: Well, first the earth cooled and then the dinosaurs came but they got too big and fat so they all died. Then  the Arabs came and they drove Mercedes Benzes and then Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady  Di's clothes. He took her best dress out of the closet and put it on........
3.) Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die!
4.) I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me and when it is gone only I will remain.
5.) Hey, Eddie, can I get you something? Something to eat? Some Eggnog? Take you out in the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
6.) You can't expect to wield supreme executive power because some watery tart threw a sword at you!
7.)  A lady always knows when to leave.
8.) You'll find that a great many truths that we hold dear depend upon our point of view. (well, the gist...may not be entirely accurate. Hey, I'm doing this from memory...LOL)
9.) Remember, all I am offering is the truth. Nothing more.
10.) Wait for me!
11.) Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.
12.) Dialysis? What is this, the Dark Ages?

Okay, I am soooo doing this movie meme. Watch for mine soon.

#3 is Princess Bride

#6 is Monty Python and the holy grail ("watery tart, G!)

#11 is Galaxy Quest (hee!)

I'm still working on the others . . .

Oops, I stand corrected. Let me change that right quick. I should really proofread these things more thoroughly before I post

[identity profile] gateslacker.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, and I can't believe you don't know number one! Remember seventh grade!?!

And I really need to watch Galaxy quest again. I will add it to that ever growing list of things I need to watch!

Egads -- could it be OUTSIDERS???

[identity profile] gateslacker.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[identity profile] dm-lunsford.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Aren't these things fun?

4. Dune

8. Empire Strikes Back

12. Is this Star Trek... oh, I think it's film number IV, where they go back in time to get the whales - the comment is made by Bones McCoy.

[identity profile] gateslacker.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Dune...one of my very early obsessions. Did Obi Wan say that to Luke in ESB or ROTJ? Maybe it was said in both films.

[identity profile] dm-lunsford.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, you are correct - that line in #8 was quoted by Obi-Wan to Luke in ROTJ. Silly me. ; )

strike outs

[identity profile] dm-lunsford.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, and strike outs are easy. Just put this

in front of the text you want to strike out, and at the end of the text put this

Re: strike outs

[identity profile] dm-lunsford.livejournal.com 2005-01-13 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, please allow me to smack myself on the forehead for that obvious bit of stupidity. Obviously, when I typed in what you are supposed to type in, the LJ function read it as a command and then did it. Sheesh!

You are supposed to type the word "strike" at the beginning, and then "/strike" at the end - but put it inside the little < > symbols.

Do I get a prize or something for getting the most Right? : )

You know what they say about great minds? : )

Oooh...three more to go

[identity profile] gateslacker.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I was gonna do the strike out thing but it struck them all out for some strange reason????

That leaves 5,7, and 10. Okay, I can't believe none of you have got 10 yet. I'm disappointed!

Re: Oooh...three more to go

[identity profile] dm-lunsford.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Duh, how could we not have gotten that one?! Now that I recognize it, that's one of my favorite lines!

#10 is Stargate!

How about a hint?

[identity profile] starsperse.livejournal.com 2005-01-14 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
nope no clue! Sorry!

Totally random post on your LJ, but... #5 - Home for Christmas?

*waves*

Yowza!

[identity profile] gateslacker.livejournal.com 2005-02-08 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
No matter if it is random, it's good to hear from you. That movie was Christmas Vacation. Gotta love Eddie! Your scrumptious little icon there is also a welcome treat. Sigh! Where oh where did you get it!?!

Re: Yowza!

[identity profile] meg-tdj.livejournal.com 2005-02-08 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't get it right?? Wow... cause that line could totally have come from Home For Christmas! *is gobsmacked*

Um... that icon... I got it from [livejournal.com profile] stargate_icons a few days ago. Great to see you, too. :)
