Moviemania

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.

2 is Moulin Rouge. The second 2 is Stuart Little, which I just saw for the first time yesterday.

*g* I picked eleven... that just proves that it´s positively impossible to pick ten favorite movies. There´s always one more, or three or....
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.

Yes, several lines looked familiar as Fry flicks, but I couldn't say for sure which was which...I still have so many to get through on Netflix, and I didn't want to look like a Bad Fan! :)

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!

Aww. I saw that interview too. It´s things like this convincing me that he´s an utterly decent chap.
