- Well, you all managed to pull about 2/3 of them. Not bad.

The ones you didn't get:
4) I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.
True Romance a fairy tale for the nineties. (One of if not) Quentin Tarantino's first script made. This one featured about every actor in Hollywood in the early to mid nineties. The particular quote above is spoken my good ol' Chris Walken's character Vincent Coccotti to Dennis Hopper who played the father of our hero (played by Christian Slater).
7) You cannot, sir, take from me anything that I will more willingly part withal - except my life, except my life.
Hamlet Dan says I'm cheating with this one? So be it. Branagh's 4 hour version of the full script in '96 was one of the coolest things I've ever seen put to celluloid. As I said in the comments, the direction, cinematography, acting...all lovely. Combined with one of my favorite stories ever? Brilliant.
8) I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.
The Lion in Winter This flick from '68 features Peter O'Toole (playing King Henry II) and Katherine Hepburn (as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine) chewing up the scenery in this verbal fencing match as they each spar over which of their sons will get to inherit the throne. Based on a play by James Goldman from two years prior, this one also stars a young Anthony Hopkins and an even younger Timothy Dalton as two of the three sons.
13) Death is... whimsical... today.
Leon also known in America as The Professional This Luc Besson picture from '94 starred one Jean Reno and (in her film debut) an 11 year old Natalie Portman. This film made me SO conflicted for YEARS. Not because it wasn't a great movie, but because of the way it presents the character of Mathilda (Portman's character), not being drawn/attracted to her is well nigh impossible. Made me feel dirty for years until I came to terms with it. The quote in question is spoken by the villain of the piece, corrupt DEA officer, Stan Stansfield as played by the oh so lovable Gary Oldman.
15) There comes a time when the party of the first part has no recourse but to knock some sense into the party of the second part! You're stayin'!
Paint Your Wagon I couldn't decide what to do for #15. Too many options and work started calling. I decided to call upon a genre I hadn't touched yet. Musicals. Now, normally, I'm not a fan of musicals. There's only a small handful I really care for. But this one is different. It's funny, it's about two gold miners (well, one miner and one farmer turned miner) in California gold country sharing a wife. And it stars...this is the kicker. Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. Come ON! Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood? In a musical? Who CAN'T love that?

Because boredom at work ensues:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie
3. Post them here for everyone to guess
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it
and the movie
5. No googling/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty
cheaters.His name was Robert Paulson.I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.- I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.
I am not ashamed. I have known love. I have known rejection. I am not ashamed to declare my feelings; take trust for instance, or friendship. These are the important things in life. These are the things that matter, that help you on your way. If you can't trust your friends, well, what then... What then?... Oh, yes. I believe in friends. I believe we need them. But if one day you can't trust them any more, well, what then... What then?Quick impression for you: Caw! Caw! Bang! Fuck, I'm dead!- You cannot, sir, take from me anything that I will more willingly part withal - except my life, except my life.
- I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.
Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I'm looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?I guess it made more sense to commit to nothing, keep my options open. And that's suicide. By tiny, tiny increments.Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.- Death is... whimsical... today.
I thank you. That was my first game of strip croquet.- There comes a time when the party of the first part has no recourse but to knock some sense into the party of the second part! You're stayin'!

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.

You're Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with
sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every
way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes
this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and
probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real.
Please stay away from children.

more about the whole Ms South Carolina debacle I posted about earlier this week and I think I'm coming to embrace this video. The more I watch it, the more I'm realizing what I'm watching. It's not just a rubber necking train wreck. What we're lucky enough to be observing is the brains search functioning slowed down and spelled out for us. When we're asked a question about something we may know, but don't have immediate access to, our meat computers run through a scan of its files searching for related information and discarding what is not relevant. Now normally this isn't vocalized if for no other reason than it happens too quickly for speech to keep up with. However, I believe that is indeed what we're witnessing here, slowed down and vocalized such that we may witness the process. She has a database of information which she knows/thinks she must draw on in these situations and you can see her running down each folder looking for the proper information and discarding it when her brief survey registers it is not the proper response. That's bloody amazing. This should be on Nova or some shit.
But, Ms. SC, I do feel for you. So next time you're asked this question, it's not that US Americans need more maps or our education should help S. Africa, Iraq and the Asian countries to build up our future. No, what we need is more cartoons. Not cartoons like I've been witnessing as of late (though a few aren't bad), but cartoons with wit, intelligence and satire like these from about 15 years ago:
Accurate as of 1993. Yes it was. Though with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the turbulence in Eastern Europe alone it's gonna throw havoc into a modern update.
And one more map before I close out for today...because you know it was coming and while it's late, I don't think I used my quota of this movies references when it was actually out:

Now, I'm not going to take the pot shots here because frankly it's just too easy.
Let me offer some advice however. We all know that you (beauty contestants) are coached in your answers to these questions. So, when you get served up a question that wasn't in your planned repertoire, it might not be in your best interested to try to piece together a response from your grab bag full of children, world peace, iraq, feeding the hungry, education, etc etc etc. You're just going to come off looking foolish.
Instead, might I suggest to hire someone to coach you in critical thinking? In doing so, you can actually HEAR (first step kids. listen to what's being said to you. don't just wait to speak) what the question was, analyze it and then synthesize a proper response. If you're talented enough, you can even make it fit into your grab bag full of topics when the question did not directly reference it as in the case above.
Why do they make these poor girls in an attempt to "legitimize" these things? Why can't we just accept it for the meat parade it is? Was it the women's movement that did it? I ask honestly because if that's the case, surely, as in the clip above, you can see how this move is doing you all more harm than good, right?

Check yourself, kids. I know at least two of you would be sporting the same goatse.cx as I now am. That is of course unless you've removed them already. Nice little find...while here at work. heh. If the vagina thing got feathers riled a couple years ago, this mighta burned some bridges had anyone caught it. :) Personally? I leaving it. I was duped and I'm willing to admit it. Might put it under a locked friends only entry perhaps, but hey, much like scarring, it's a reminder. :)
Oh...and in case you don't follow the link, if you participated in that "LJmojo" dating thing they did (I didn't get fished into this one), then your results there are public as well.
