A meme I found at
xbittersweet89x´s:
1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to the 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.Let the movie discusion begin. These are some of my all-time-favorites.
1. "I know better than to argue romance with a French woman."
2. "The French are glad to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives... and gives expensive... jewels." guessed by
triedunture. The overall awesome
Moulin Rouge! There´s another Ewan McGregor hidden in here!
2. "You don't have lucky underwear." guessd by
triedunture.
Stuart Little.3. " It's called a pot-belly, Andrew. We have those in England, along with culture." guessed by
benjimmy. The bunch of actors I enjoy the most these days in
Peter´s Friends.
4. ""More human than human" is our motto." guessed, like, ten seconds after I posted this by
lf2871 It´s
Bladerunner.5. "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving." And featured in my B.A. thesis about Joseph Conrad
Apocalypse Now! guessed by
mxdp.
6. "Unfortunately, THIS guitar said, 'When I get back to Georgia, that woman gonna feel my pain.' THIS one said something along the lines of, 'Why yes, these pants ARE lycra.' THESE said, 'I'm very sensitive, very caring, and I have absolutely no idea how to play the guitar.'" guessed by
muhsilisk.
7. "The trouble with being the Prime Minister's sister is it does put your life into rather harsh perspective. What did my brother do today? He stood up and fought for his country. And what did I do? I made a papier maché lobster head. " guessed by
sorion. It´s
Love Actually.8. "I've got a new theory about marriage. Two people are in love, they live together, and then suddenly one day, they run out of conversation." Four Weddings and a Funeral guessed by
mxdp.
9. "Yeah, well I've got some sperm up my arse and it's dying!" guessed by
sorion who is probably just tired and a head-scratching
sexy_severus. And also
benjimmy. It´s
Maybe Baby. Gosh! You´re all obsessed with this actor, you know that, right?
10."We threw out the censor-approved script and shot a new one that I wrote this morning." guessed by
muhsilisk.
A breakthrough: I´m at 1000 words with mit
get_house_laid-prompt. It feels really good! Any native speaker on my f-list who would like to give it a beta look once it´s finished?
And last but definitely not least a thought I found at
triedunture:
If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Date: 2008-08-17 07:02 pm (UTC)You didn´t recognise the ones with our pal Stephen Fry?
Doesn´t Hugh Laurie cut a brilliant figure as Mr. Little? I love the kidsflicks he´s in.

Date: 2008-08-17 07:15 pm (UTC)Hugh is ADORABLE as Mr Little. I was watching some sort of interview with him, I don't remember where, and he said that at the end of one scene where he was supposed to be speaking to "Stuart" in his hand, the director called cut and he unthinkingly knelt down to let Stuart off his hand! So cute!

Date: 2008-08-17 10:00 pm (UTC)Oh and I´d love to see you taking these meme! I´m so bad with guessing though because in Germany movies are always shown synchronised... it´s only been a year or so that I watch stuff in English.
