Monday's Thirteen: Episode One

[ellyssian]

When I did the movie meme quiz last week, I had already decided that I'd do it as a running gag gig every Monday morning. I dropped the number from 15 to 13 for no reason whatsoever, and dropped the "instructions". What I will do is continue the quotes that aren't completed in the previous week's quotetastic selection into the next week. I'll also randomly pick a theme from one of said Double Quotes, so to speak, and use that to fill in the rest of the list. For this first one I grabbed the last of the Great Unknowns, and went with it... so death and deadly injury it is.

Oh, yeah, you get more bragging rights if you nail a quote that's been around for awhile.

Another change from the meme format, like malinaldarose, I will credit all those who guess the quote. All comments screened to prevent dead give-aways. Results will be posted on the following weekend - or earlier if we get 100% guessage. Edit: I will post who guessed them correctly prior to that, so you get some feedback on whether or not you were right, but I won't name the movie until the weekend closing of the game - so there will still be a chance to get on the winner's list no matter when you come to the party... or some other semi-mixed metaphor like that.

Oh, in other news, malinaldarose posted a visual movie game this morning, so go there, look, and guess!

Double Quotes:
1. "Maybe I'm dreaming. My eyes are open, which means maybe I'm awake dreaming that I'm asleep. Or, or more likely, I'm asleep dreaming that I'm awake wondering if I'm dreaming." Incorrectly guessed by tewok - it is decidedly not GWB: A Presidential Philosophy.

2. "We meet back here in twice 500 beats of a bluebird's heart. " "Do you know what I think? I think we should add a couple more hundred breaths of a-- " Guessed by malinaldarose

3. "WHAT was THAT? Oh! There's a bird! Let's jump on him! Maybe he'll fly us wherever we want to go! Maybe he'll serve us drinks! And little bags of peanuts! Get your own ride! " Guessed by aequitaslevitas

4. "Your Holiness, a surgeon to save the body must often hack off a limb. But in truth nothing could prepare me for the beauty and the power of the limb that I had come here to sever. "

5. "She can sing, or she can scream. But she still pissed me off. "

6. "We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty. We buy what we don't need and throw away everything that's useful. Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what he doesn't need. Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn. It's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. "

7. "I've been trying to get you all night. Why don't you answer your fucking beeper? " " I just wanna tell you, Jack, that the next time I'm suspended, so is my fucking beeper! "

8. "Dying's the easy way out. You won't catch me dying. They'll have to kill me before I die! "

Single Quotes:
9. "And that was only one of the many occasions on which I met my death, an experience which I don't hesitate strongly to recommend." Guessed by aequitaslevitas, chris_walsh

10. "Do you know how Florentine women ensure their husbands come home? Every morning they slip him a slow poison, and every evening the antidote. That way, when the husband spends the night away, he has a very bad night."

11. "If you'll notice the arterial nature of the blood coming from the hole in my head, you can assume that we're all having a real lousy day."

12. "You know some of you guys have some cute little asses. It'd be a real shame if I had to blow'em off." Another incorrect answer from tewok, this is not from Aliens =)

13. "While my father prayed earnestly to God to protect commerce, I would offer up secretly the proudest prayer a boy could think of: Lord, make me a great composer. Let me celebrate Your glory through music and be celebrated myself. Make me famous through the world, dear God. Make me immortal. After I die, let people speak my name forever with love for what I wrote. In return, I will give You my chastity, my industry, my deepest humility, every hour of my life, Amen." guessed by wyyknot, tewok, blackbyrd2

I *think* 3 is an animated film. Something like the Rescuers? I have a vague memory of it which I have been trying to place since the last time you posted this.

As for the others, some of them sound familiar, but I am so braindead this morning. I'll come back to it later, once my tea kicks in...

I'll take a stab at 13 and say Amadeus, while noting that it was Mozart's nemesis who said that, if I'm right. If I'm wrong, well, then never mind. ;)

9. Ooo! The Adventures of Baron Munchausen! Woo hoo! One of my favorite films. I grin for long stretches of it.

And I can hear the line in #11, but not see the title of the film it's from. Woe.

You're supposed to give us the correct answers when they're guessed. Sometimes knowing what's there helps up know what the others are.

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Ah, but by not giving the answers, I provide chances for multiple people to guess the correct answer, as seen currently in questions #9 and #13! =)

The game is open from Monday until everything's guessed - or this weekend, which ever comes first. I'll reveal the answers to the correctly guessed questions at that time.

OK, now I am convinced one of them must be Stardust. Possibly 1?

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Nope! Not a one of them is Stardust, not even #1. =)

Blast!
