chicken: (27. Chicken Run Timothy Spall)
[personal profile] chicken
Bunny helped me think these up. Her tendonitis is acting up, so that's why she's not posting it in her own journal.

1. Pick one dozen movies that are ones that you have special feelings about.
2. Pick a few lines of dialogue that mean something to you.
3. As people guess the film, strike out that entry.
4. If possible, after the film is guessed, explain why that movie made the list.

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] the_automatik and [livejournal.com profile] itsabigrock.

First person listed chronologically in the comments with the right answer is the winner for any given movie.

Most quotes are not connected to one another, but are just highlights/favorite quotes from different places throughout a given movie. However, one or two movies have contiguous dialogue.


1.) "Holding to have, husband -- mine, better and richer, no poorer ... Till sickness and death."
-- The Wedding Banquet, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] keever.

2.) "'Cause it's got a bloody great pink neon ass outside of it..."
"Because *she* never come down with the last shower!"

3.) "I'm not a lesbian, I don't want to move to New Jersey, and ... where's the cheese?! Where's the cheese on these goddamn fucking fries?!?!!"

4.) "Seething animal passions about to erupt through the pie crust of decorum."
"I'm not sure, but his voice washed over me like a dark, powerful river."

5.) "Scotland!"
"Have we tried not trying to escape?"
"My whole life flashed before my eyes. It was really boring!"
"I don't want to be a pie. I don't like gravy."
"And sprained the anterior tendon connecting your radius to your humerus. I gave her a wee bit of a tweak."

-- Chicken Run (or in French, Poulets En Fuites!), guessed by [livejournal.com profile] queenzulu.

6.) "Hey, I was brotherly, man. Think where else you're pierced."
"Welcome to planet Maturia, we have much to teach you."
"My mother was the kind of mother who always said she was her daughter's best friend. Whenever she did, I thought, "Great, not only do I have a shitty mother, but my best friend's a loser bitch."
"I'm bisexual. ... Puh-lease! I went to a bar mitzvah once. That doesn't make me Jewish."

-- The Opposite of Sex, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] karenbear.

7.) "You know, men who collect recipes and love their mothers a little too much ..."

8.) "I did not tell you that the idea of -- intercourse - the fact of your young, firm -- body commingling with the withered flesh, sagging breasts, and flabby buttocks - makes me -- want to vomit."
-- Harold and Maude, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] wickedgoddess_.

9.) "This is Ohio. If you don't have a brewsky in your hand you might as well be wearing a dress."
"My son's a homosexual, and I love him. I love my dead gay son."
"Wonder how he'd react if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse."

-- Heathers, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] queenzulu.

10.) "Near as bloody damn!"
"Your gran was not a dyke! A lesbian, perhaps."

11.) "You're not bi-sexual, Carla - you're omni-sexual! You're like that tornado in the Wizard of Oz, sweeping up everything in your path."
"Seriously, Mr. Marcus, the Supreme Court has declared that anal sex is to gay male sex what Mozart is to classical music."

-- Better Than Chocolate, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] tannymonster.

12.) "Does the rolling help?"
"What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?
'Cause it's on the television show.
Well forget it, I'm not doing it, this episode was badly written."

-- GalaxyQuest, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] queenzulu.

Yes, cinq (5) is indeed "Poulets En Fuite" (Chicken Run!), which is a funny translation if you ask me, what with the double meaning whose connotation is funny in a different way than the English one! Do chickens run or fly, and which title is more spoilery, eh? ;-)

Yes on 12 and 9, those were just as easy.

Number 3 is not "Chasing Amy", sorry. And in fact since I abhor that movie (with the exception of one scene), I'll just laugh and pretend no one even mentioned it ... :-)

Yes, and apparently you've come to that conclusion only microseconds ahead of [livejournal.com profile] mmcirvin, sorry Matt!

Mere microseonds too late. :( Too bad the timestamp doesn't show the microseconds, eh?

Heh. I know. I love the way if you translate it back from French into English, the closest translation is "Chickens In Flight", but the connotation is completely different. That's just wordplay genius. Somebody had their thinkin' cap on!

Anyway, I didn't particularly enjoy Chasing Amy, but the "lesbians" combined with "New Jersey" made the guess a worthy one.

LOL, sorry about that. You know, if I had taken the time to switch my icon you probably would have beaten me.

No, number 6 is not "Kissing Jessica Stein" (which BTW I haven't even seen). Sorry. :)

Yes! Very good. And I thought a Canadian would get that one! But you haven't got the Aussie one, so maybe a Canadian will get that one. ;-)
