Friday night at the movies...

Gosh I can hardly believe it's Friday again. The weeks just fly by. I mean it's already July and the next thing you know we'll be singing Christmas carols. Anyway, let's move on to this weeks installment of Friday night at the movies. Now I'm not sure if any of you are enjoying these little weekly installments because none of you seem to be taking a stab at guessing the who, what and where of the quotes but even if you don't want to take a stab at guessing I'm still going to keep posting. You may learn a bit of trivia and if your lucky you might even get a chuckle off one or two of the quotes.

So last weeks answer:

"There's nothing more inconvenient than an old queen with a head cold"

Character: Toddy Todd

Played by: Robert Preston

Movie: Victor/Victoria

This weeks quotes

"You have to kiss some ass to get a piece of it."

Character: Clayton Boone

Played by: Brendan Fraser

Movie: Gods and Monsters

Your turn

"I hope you bring the cocktail sauce. She's got the crabs and I don't mean Dungeness."

Character: ???

Played by: ???

Movie: ???

Enjoy...

Friday night at the movies...

It's Friday again albeit your Thursday but it's my blog so I say it's Friday. Anyway, it's time for Friday night at the movies and time to guess who said what in which movie. You know how we play the game, I list two quotes along with the characters name, the actors name and the movie from which it all took place then I list the second quote but leave all the other information blank for you to fill in. I know it's not much of a real game and is more of a filler as far as post are concerned but who knows you might learn a little trivia and depending on the quote you might even get a little chuckle out of it. So let's get to it

"Chewing gum helps me think"
"Sweetie your wasting your gum"

Character: Celsius
Played by: Luca Tommassini

speaking to

Character: Albert Goldman
Played by: Nathan Lane

Movie: The Bird Cage

"There's nothing more inconvenient than an old queen with a head cold"

Character:
Played by:
Movie:

Until next week, Enjoy...

Movies, movies and more movies...

I too have unabashedly stolen this interesting little meme (Ok it’s not exactly little but is interesting) from Voenix Rising who stole it from here. Using the Entertainment Weekly list of the top 100 movies from the last 25 years:

• Bold the movie if you’ve seen it
• Put asterisks next to the movies you’ve seen and really liked.
• Put a line through the movies you saw and hated. (I couldn't figure out how to put lines through them even after i copied this from Word so I coloured them red)
  

I’ve seen 57 of the Top 100 films. I hated 16 of the 57 that I saw for reasons from to boring, to gory or IMHO just plain stupid. I won’t tell you which is which; I’ll let you guess. I’ve also taken this process one step further and I’ve put movies in italics that I started to watch and finally just gave up on and stopped watching because I just could not be bothered to finish. Once again I did so for a variety of reasons but the main reason was I just could not get interested even though I’d heard how great the movie was supposed to be so said the critics. I usually find I’m a better critic when it comes to the movies I choose to see. If a critic says some movie is a “fantastic, must see, Oscar potential” movie I am a bit leery if not down right positive I won’t like the movie, but if they say the hated the movie then I’m pretty sure I will love the movie and I usually do. Anyway, this was my take on this meme. If you want to try it feel free. Enjoy…

Friday night at the movies...

Like last Friday night I have a glorious quote from a past movie. I'll tell you who said it and in which Movie and you have to quess the second one.

First up we have :

"I'd ask you to stay and have a drink but I'm afraid you might accept"

Character: Lynn Markham
Played by: Joan Crawford
Movie: Female On the Beach

Now your guess:

"I'd like to take you south of my border and north of my garter"

Character :???
Played by:???
Movie:???

The answer to last Friday's quote is:

"If you look at her carefully, there are so many lines on her face you could drive a train on it"

Character: Marina Rudd
Played by: Elizabeth Taylor
Movie: The Mirror Crack'd

It's the weekend. Enjoy...

Friday night at the movies...

Well it will be Friday when I post this even though it's still Thursday for most of you so you'll just have to work with me on this one. So I'm going to try and see if i can start a new regular feature which will be "Friday night at the movies..." ("FNATM..."). Now what this will entail is really something very simple; each Friday I will post two or more quotes that have appeared in a movie (not necessarily from the same movie). I will tell you from what movie and which star/character uttered the immortal lines, keeping in mind that theses lines are that said the line. Occasionally I'll leave that information out and see if you know who said what.

So to start off the very first "FNATM..." we will have one with all the information and one without everything you needed to know and you can tell me where the quote is from and who said these great and sometimes scathingly scripted lines. Enjoy...

"Paris is for lovers. Maybe that's why I stayed only thirty-five minutes"

Character: Linus Larrabee Played by: Humphrey Bogat
Movie: Sabrina 1954

This one is for you to guess

"If you look at her carefully, there are so many lines on her face you could drive a train on it"

Character: ??? Played by: ???
Movie: ???
