Ha! Finally one movie I know. Star Trek, 2009. Young Captain Kirk is one, and I don't remember the other character's name (I just remember him as "the cupcake security type".

You got it, Daniel! Take it away...

(By the way, why aren't you and I working on our trailers?) :)

^ Star Trek.

edit: Didn't see that somebody else had already gotten it.

I'm, ah, 'researching'. Yes. Researching. :)


This ought not be very difficult -

Character 1: Who in their right mind, in a choice between pancakes and living, chooses pancakes?

Character 2: *********, if you pause to think, you'd realize that that answer is inextricably contingent upon the type of life being led . . . and, of course, on the quality of the pancakes.

Shoot I know this one.. I can't think of the name of the movie. I can even here the actor saying the line....

hmmm...my old brain is getting rattled.

-Garrttt

Another from the same film.



Character 1: Character 3, what you're describing is anarchy. Are you an anarchist?

Character 3: You mean, am I a member of...

Character 1: An anarchist group, yes.

Character 3: Anarchists have a group?

Character 1: I believe so, sure.

Character 3: They assemble?

Character 1: I don't know.

Character 3: Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose?

I don't know the answer to this round, but so far, it sounds like a movie I would want to watch.

Quote Three.

Character 2: Let me ask you this. On a scale of one to ten, what are the chances that you'll be assassinated?

Character 1: Assassinated?

Character 2: One being highly unlikely, ten being you're expecting it around every corner.

Sounds like my kind of movie, but I can't say I've ever seen it, much less heard any of those quotes...

Fourth time's the charm? :)



Character 4: [narrating] Little did he know that this simple, seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death.
Character 1: What? What? Hey! Hello! What? Why? Why MY death? HELLO? Excuse me? WHEN?

Ah! I think that fourth quote did it; I knew I'd heard this from somewhere, it was driving me crazy. Is it "Stranger Than Fiction", with Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson?

I figured that one would give it away. I was about to run out of quotes!

It's all yours, Robert.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to guess a movie right away, based on some incredibly obscure quote, and impress everyone (read: no one) with the collection of totally useless trivia filling my head; until then, try this one on for size:


Character 1: I don't know. I'll tell them something. I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs, or something. It should just be a day or two, anyways. I mean, unless you want to bring them in.

Character 2: No, no, it's just ... I mean, they have their work in there, too.

Character 1: You know if Character 3 finds out about that or even sees it he's going to have to take it apart ...

Character 2: No, I --

Character 1: ... you know, I'm just putting a love tweak on it.

Character 2: Yeah, I know. No, you're right.

Character 1: Character 2, it's my garage, okay? It's not like they're paying rent.

Pulp Fiction?

Nope, sorry, you're about a decade too early, though the movie was actually shot a few years before it was released.

Sticking with the pattern I used last time, twenty-four hours between clues, here's the next conversation, taken from the scene immediately preceding the last quote:


Characters 1 and 2 are discussing a device they've built in Character 1's garage.

Character 1: You want to see something weirder? Okay, let's go over this again. Two batteries, right? Twenty-four volts?

Character 2 nods.

Character 1: What are we pulling out of this one? Just for fun.

Character 2: Twelve volts.

Character 1 disconnects the first battery and kicks it aside.

Character 1: How about this one?

Character 2: Should be twelve volts.

Character 1 disconnects the other battery and pushes it aside as well. The machine is still running.

Character 1: So what the hell is this thing?

Character 2: (incredulous) It doesn't stay like that.

Character 1: No, I mean it winds down in a few minutes ... what does that?

Little late today, sorry. No guesses yet? All right, then, the stops are pulled, here's what I'd say is the film's most memorable line:


Aaron: Man, are you hungry? I haven't eaten since later this afternoon.


I don't know how much help the character name will be, as I'm be pretty sure you'll recognize the quote if you know the movie. Can't hurt to include it, though.

I'll also reveal the film is a fairly small independent endeavor, involving relatively few cast and crew members, many having roles on both sides of the camera. Shot in 2001 for about seven thousand dollars (if I remember the DVD commentary correctly), the film wasn't released until 2004. Finally, the movie features a practically incomprehensible story, and only after I watched it again yesterday (the fourth time I've seen the movie, in total) did I start to understand it. One of my favorites nonetheless.

Well, here we are again. The film in question is the low budget time travel puzzlebox "Primer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/)", which I highly recommend if you're in to stories you have to piece together yourself. I'd describe it as David Lynch directs "Back to the Future", but about half as confusing as that would actually turn out.

Here's an easy one to get us back up and moving again:


Dimpus Burger Guy: Right, uh, beverage?

Farva: Gimme a, uh, liter o' cola.

Dimpus Burger Guy: A what?

Farva: A liter o' cola?

Dimpus Burger Guy: Literocola. Do we make Literocola?

Thorny: Will you just order a large, Farva?

Farva: I don't want a large Farva. I want a goddamn liter o' cola.

Dimpus Burger Guy: I don't know what that is.

Farva: "Liter" is French for "give me some ****in' cola before I break vous ****in' lip!"

Super Troopers. You had me at Farva.

I never get tired of watching that movie; hooks me in every time it's on TV.

Your turn, Chris!

Alright. Here we go.

Character 1: This is a lovely golf course, I'm tempted to join the club.
Character 2: I'm afraid you can't.
Character 1: You mean they discriminate against Scots?
Character 2: No, they just don't want assholes in the clubhouse.

No takers? Jeez. Here's another one, from the same movie.

Character 1: Character 2! You've been overeating again, haven't you?
Character 2: Uh, no I haven't.
Character 1: Then explain to me why there is black forest cherry cake in your cleavage!

Okay... well, hopefully somebody will at least attempt it now. Hint... this line contains a portion of the title.

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. Your attention please. Welcome to the newest, the greatest, the most spectacular in entertainment history. Put your hands together for the Fabulous Feebles Variety Hour.

Aha. A Peter Jackson film! Well done. I'm not taking it, so it's still up for grabs...

Pretty sure that no one else is going to get it, so it's all yours, Chris.

Okay, so that was Meet The Feebles... it's past my bedtime right now, but I'll have a quote for y'all in the morning.

Pretty sure that no one else is going to get it, so it's all yours, Chris.

Thanks Chris. I was stumped and knew I wasn't gonna guess it. I pretty much try to limit my cheating to tic-tac-toe and resisted the urge to google the quote.

-Jon

1: "I've been having this nightmare. A real swinger of a nightmare, too. Has to do with, uh, all kinds of strange people."

2: "Is it about a Russian general and some Chinese and me and the men who were on the patrol?"

1: "How did you know that? How do you know?"

2: "Take your hands off me."

Come on, I thought this one would be dead easy!

Come on, I thought this one would be dead easy!

I'm gonna guess "The Manchurian Candidate". The original one with ol' Blue Eyes.

-Jon

All yours, Jon!

OK, here goes. Here's one from the late 90s. It'll be interesting to see if anyone can guess this one without cheating, or if they'll even admit to knowing the answer if they do.

Character 1: "It must be really hard for you [redacted], you know, try and decide whether to wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, OR the little Gucci dress.

Character 2: "Exactly."

Character 3: "I know! Why don't you wear the little Gucci dress?"

Character 2: "That's a good idea. Thanks,[redacted].


-Jon

No guesses so far? I thought not. The quote as posted was taken verbatim from having watched the scene on the DVD as I typed it. I have the DVD. (Don't ask.)

But it doesn't fare quite the same if compared to the same quote as noted in a number of online quote resources where these lines contain a number of inaccuracies such as wrong words. That makes it more difficult to look this one up online to come up with the answer.

If you guess it correctly, however, then it demonstrates a familiarity with this movie. So, again, I am not surprised at having no guesses posed thus far.

If no one guesses by tomorrow, perhaps I'll post a clue in the morning...and perhaps thereafter just move on to another movie.

-Jon

Okay, here goes another scene from the same movie:


character 1: "Check."


character 2: "What d'ya mean 'Check'?"


character 1: "I mean Check. My bishop's got your king."


character 2: "Where?"


character 1: "There. You either got to move in front, or move it out the way."


character 2: "Alright, then I'll move that fairground horse to there. Sort that out."


character 1: "You can't do that!"


character 2: "Says who?"


character 1: "Says Mister Chess. It's been in the rules for thousands of years!"


character 2: "Well I'm gonna break the rules and move this little fairground horse free amongst all these little square fields like that...there!"

character 1: "I'm gonna slap you in a minute."



-Jon

I don't recognise the second quote but i think i know the first.....does the film have meatloaf driving a tour bus by any chance? you're not gonna make me say it out loud are you :)

Andy.

does the film have meatloaf driving a tour bus by any chance? you're not gonna make me say it out loud are you :)

Andy.

Yes...

and Yes.... because that's the rules, my friend.

lol (it was kind of mean of me to choose this one.)


-Jon

its suddenly slipped my mind!.....right ok its spiceworld

moving swiftly on

character 1: What's this?
character 2: I burned myself.
character 1: You burned yourself? Why?
character 2: Practicing for hell.
character 1: Why do you think you're going to hell?
character 2: Because of what I did. Because of what I'm gonna do.
character 1: What are you going to do?
character 2: [mimes a gun to his head]
character 1: You're going to try to kill yourself? And how serious should I take this threat?

Ok here's another one from this movie.

"You know, the day I did it, I took two razorblades to the bathtub. You know why? Because I knew that once I started to bleed, I'd get weak. And I didn't wanna drop one blade and leave myself half done. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine hating your life so much that you'd wanna bring a backup razor?"

It sounds like a depressing movie i know but it is actually a very enjoyable thought provoking film, shot in 05 i think it fell by the wayside which is a shame.

Any takers?

I am pretty sure I've seen it but I can't exactly place it. So I'm going to pose my best guess (ie: the first one that popped into my head).

Is it "Constantine"?

-Jon

its a good guess but its not the one, i dont think it was as high profile as that.

Andy.

Is it "Wristcutters: A Love Story"? If so, that is a really bizarre coincidence, cause that is the movie I just put in my queue.

Afraid not Sean

Id never heard of wristcutters , i just watched the trailer on imdb and it looks pretty damn good, think i'll add that one to the queue myself.

Andy.

Its been a couple of days so i'll just tell ya and let someone else in.

It was "Stay" starring Ewan McGregor ,Ryan Gosling and Naomi watts.

you should give it a watch. Next quotes up for whoever wants it.

Andy.

[ Note from Admin: rejected due to excessive profanity ]

For Chris McMahon, you're welcome to submit another quote, but I thought it was pretty clear around here that we won't except profanity on the forum. Thanks in advance for respecting this policy, and please try again with something else (something cleaner). Best regards,

"Attica! Attica!"

Bonus points for the name of the character.

Hmm... Sonny, in Dog Day Afternoon?

You got it Chris, I thought of that prison reference line from that movie due to McMahon's infraction.

I think Tony Manero also said that line in Saturday Night Fever.

Fire Away!

Chris E-mailed me to take the next quote so here it is,
The first lines from a recent hit that I'm viewing on netflix:

Phone ringing.
"Nine One One Emergency."
(breathing hard into phone)
"I need an ambulance."
"I have you at ninety two twelve West third street, Los Angeles."
(Nods, close up, hand in face, phone at ear.)
"It's room number two."
"What's the emergency?"
"There's been a suicide."
"Who's the victim?"
"I am."

Seven pounds !!
