Name that movie

[bironic]

Life continues busy, mostly happily. Have catch-up and beta-ing to do. But in the meantime, this meme's making the rounds again, and I keep meaning to do it, so here we go.

These are quotes from 15 movies I own. How many do you know without having to look them up? (And do you know who said them?)


1. Some have great stories. Pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just, no one in this car. But a lot of people, that's their story. Good times. Noodle salad.

(As Good As It Gets, guessed by hannahrorlove)


2. Yes, yes. Without the "oops." Thataway.

(Independence Day, guessed by nightdog_barks and elynittria)


3. When you talk to the President, you might remind him that I am holding his wife, his daughter, his chief of staff, his national security advisor, his classified papers, and his baseball glove!

(Air Force One, guessed by perspi and elynittria)


4. It's the goof of all time. Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? Never!

(Devil's Advocate, guessed by cryptictac)


5. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

(Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, guessed by pwcorgigirl, elynittria and daasgrrl)


6. Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops, where'd my job go?" I quit. Someone pass me the asparagus.

(American Beauty, guessed by phinnia and the_drifter)


7. I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear it growin', and you can hear the insects... Do you like Beethoven?

(Leon / The Professional, guessed by cryptictac)


8. Sixty-five years. Don't they go by in a blink.

ETA: You're not Death. You're just a kid in a suit.

(Meet Joe Black, guessed by cryptictac)


9. Why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles? Marble champ. So what? If only I could run or swim or do something to be the Camp Champ.

(Care Bears Movie II, guessed by recrudescence and cryptictac)


10. You must not be seen, and you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns should do it, I think.

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, guessed by perspi, elynittria and the_drifter)


11. Character 1: What do you call the mouse shadow on the second moon?
Character 2: We call that one Muad'Dib.

(Dune, guessed by cryptictac and thewlisian_afer)


12. The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. It's the same with you.

(X-Men, guessed by thedeadparrot and the_drifter)


13. I don't need to be lectured by you. I was out saving the galaxy when your grandfather was in diapers. Besides which, I think the galaxy owes me one.

(Star Trek: Generations, guessed by cryptictac)


14. They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses.

(Interview with the Vampire, guessed by cryptictac)


15. Don't be silly! I could never love anyone more than I love my sisters.

(Little Women, guessed by ahab99)

I hae nothing to add, except I like your taste in movies :-)

*g* Hello there, icon! And yay movies!

Registration opens today for Birthright Israel, btw. Wish me luck...

[roga.livejournal.com]

Good luck! *crosses fingers to infinity*

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hee! Careful, you'll need those fingers for exam-taking and post-typing and, um, for opening the door when I come visit over the summer. *g* Assuming I ever get into the online registration system. (Four hours and counting.)

P.S. TWELVE AND A HALF hours and counting. How busy is this server??

[roga.livejournal.com]

Damn them! What's the current status? Is it a first come, first served basis? Any chance of you not getting in? Are you going for the summer or winter trips?

(Also: \o/!)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

It is first-come first-considered, and this is the first step; the second is when you get the paperwork from the individual trip organizer you choose, and once you turn in your payment, you're in the queue. But I can't fill out the paperwork and send my payment until I get past this first step.

I'm trying to register for the summer '08 trips (although I will also qualify for the winter trips, assuming I'm not in school), and it's been 23 hours now and no dice. I just emailed them to ask WTF is up with their system, because either I get an error message hours after trying to access it and being told I'm in the "waiting room," or I get dumped back onto the index and asked to click on "Register Now" again, which starts the whole process again. Grrrrr.

[roga.livejournal.com]

Grrr!

I just tried, randomly, with Oranim. The first time it let me through to the 'password' - create account page, the second time it put me in a waiting room, then flipped back to the 'register now' page, but when I clicked again it let me through to the password page again. Have you gotten that far, or not even there?

[bironic.livejournal.com]

It was circling me back to the waiting room / registration page every time I clicked on "Register Now" -- no password request. I *finally* got to the password page about 25 minutes ago, and just whipped through the registration process. WHEW!!!

[roga.livejournal.com]

Whew! I am back to finger crossing then :-)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

:D You and me both. Need to coordinate medical forms among doctors, and then the third step of the application process starts: deposit and interviewing, I think.
