take a speech class. Watch one on the TV sometime. How is this lady even close to possibly walking in the White House front door, much less being VP?

that movie quote dealie [Aug. 4th, 2008|07:48 pm]
[Current Mood |exanimateexanimate]
[Current Music |Mc Chris]

Here are the rules:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. (or just remember them.)
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.

1. Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I'm looking for, like, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?

2. Wouldn't he? Lizzy, how can you put your faith in a man you spectacularly binned for being unreliable? A man whose idea of a romantic nightspot and an impenetrable fortress are the same thing? It's... This is a pub! We are in a pub! What are we going to do? Shaun of the Dead- superleezard

3. How could she ever hate them for what was at bottom merely their weakness? She would probably have done things like those to be fallen her if she had lived in one of these houses. To measure them by her own yardstick as her father put it. Would she not, in all honesty, have done the same as Chuck and Vera and Ben and Mrs Henson and Tom and all these people in their houses?

4. Frank, how many of these guys have been with you long enough to be disgruntled, huh? Think about it. You don't pay much, you know. It's almost a fuckin' feudal enterprise. The question is, and this is the only question, who thinks that they can do what you do better than you? the Departed- kidbacon

5. Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks

6. She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man! the Big Lebowski bigdpimpin

7. 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it. No Country For Old Men bigdpimpin

8. Should I bolt every time I get that feeling in my gut when I meet someone new? Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains.

9. What are you talking about? Look at yourself. You're nothing. You're nobody. You're wanted in connection with a violent crime. You're cleaning the floor of a diner. She is an intelligent, passionate, beautiful, rich woman. The issue of whether or not she's your type is not one that you're likely to have to resolve in this world... or, indeed, the next, since she will be going to some heaven for glamorous pussy, and you will be cleaning the floor of a diner in hell.

10. Those of you lucky enough to have your lives, take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now. Kill Bill- mjtheanarchist

11. In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants. the Karate Kid bigdpimpin

12. I'm talking about the gas chamber, and you haven't even asked me what this is about. You've got a big "Guilty" sign around your neck. L.A. Confidential- superleezard

13. Man, you'd bury yourself alive just to prove you could handle the shovel.

14. I tried it with the hens: it didn't work. So I turned to crowing, and lo! I discover my gift. But no sooner do I become indispensable than they bring in a machine to do the job. Ohhhh-oh-oh, the treachery of it - a mechanical rooster! Babe- superleezard

15. Hey, I don't know if I can do this. I got a family. If I'm gonna shit in a bag for the rest of my life because I got shot after the war was over, that would pretty fucking stupid wouldn't it, Major? Three Kings- superleezard


ok, #'s 2, 6, 8 and 11 are a lay up drill. #3 should be damn near impossible. if you get it you're a cheater. #13 was a last minute replacement for the Proposition, which doesn't really have any good quotes on IMDB and i didn't think i could get any right from my (feeble) memory.

GO!

the following is totally true [Sep. 13th, 2007|01:28 pm]
[Current Mood |exhaustedexhausted]
[Current Music |the Decemberists- July, July!]

long time no post. in the intervening months, i have been at sea. i found myself without employ and realizing that my mid-life was quickly settling upon me i decided to run away to sea before the time when such thing would become more of a childish act. go away while i'm still young enough to get away with it. also, it should be noted, i lie about my age regularly. so i stowed away on a large wooden whale boat. who knew such things still existed and are in regular use? they're in much demand on the high seas, let me tell you. i know, i was there. anyway, after several months at sea, fairly uneventful as it was we were attacked by what i had previously thought to be an extinct sea-beast. one of the serpentine variety. looked like a giant catfish that had birthed the unholy scion of a python. only bigger that the Empire State Building. and angry as George C. Scott. well, a creature of that size you can well imagine caused quite a stir upon emerging from the briny deep. our boat was tossed fore and aft. we managed to escape with our lives intact (except fot the ones killed in the conflict- God rest them). oh, and there was one of the crew who was washed away overboard, but he was seen clinging to the overboard washed coffin of one of our previously deceased crew members. we're all praying for his safety.

onward- with our boat gratuitously wrecked we were victim of the trade winds that blew us along a path that was well out of our predetermined course. set upon by pirates we were. barnacles all. i found comfort by hiding in the storage hall, among the casks of exotic, spiced rum. when i was discovered by the salty dogs i feigned foreign a foreign origin, claimed i spoke no english and plied them with rum. while they were passed out drunk, i escaped in one of their tag-a-long boats and sailed away to the remote islands i could soon find. after landing there i built structures inland from the surf, and upon being discovered by the local natives i was declared their god. that suited me fine for a short while, but after tiring of that i accidentally (in my laziness) offended my constituency. maybe it was that, or the jealous ex husbands of my concubines. no one really seems to know. well, after fleeing for my life to the other side of the island i discovered i had been on civilized ground all along- i was in Peru! i soon found a hotel resort, stayed until my tales would no longer earn my stay from entertaining tourists at the resort and then called my mom and dad to come pick me up.

and that's why i haven't posted in so long
