Stolen from Carol via Corinne's sister via everyone else on the intertubes!
Come up with a list of some of your favourite films, and list them by quotes from the movie. Then put your lurking commenters on notice that they are responsible for identifying the movies.
No cheating! This means no Google, Wikipedia, or IMDB.
As they are guessed, I'll cross them off the list and credit whoever gets them right.
EDIT: Second quotes added!
1."1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule!"
"Smile! You're at Mr. Smiley's!"
American Beauty - guessed by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
grinning_dagger
2. "Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?"
" Meet me at Montauk..."
3. "Dad, you're not gonna freak out like you did at the petting zoo, are you?"
"Yes, I'm a natural blue."
Finding Nemo - guessed bywolfcaroling
4. "Oh, it's not the first time I was tossed out of a window, and it won't be the last. What can I say? I'm a rebel!"
"Hey, I've been turned into a cow. Can I go home?"
5. "Well, boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing..."
"As an officer in Her Majesty's Air Force, it is my clear duty, under the present circumstances, to issue the recall code, upon my own authority, and bring back the Wing. If you'll excuse me, sir. ... *rattles door* I'm afraid, sir, I must ask you for the key, and the recall code. Have you got them handy, sir?"
6. "Keep... your... station clean! If meal orders come in, what will happen? Messy stations slow things down, food doesn't go, orders pile up, disaster! I will make this easier to remember: keep your station clean... or I WILL KILL YOU!"
"I killed a man... with this thumb."
7."The pen is blue, the pen is blue, the goddamn pen is blue!"
Liar Liar- Guessed bysuminycricket
8."You didn't answer me right away. You had to think about it first, didn't you? If you really had thought I was beautiful, you would've spoken right up. I know when I've been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED!"
A Charlie Brown Christmas - Guessed bywolfcaroling
9."Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."
Office Space - Guessed bygrinning_dagger
10."That's another thing we have in common. I hate it when you've got someone in your face, you try to give someone a hint and they won't leave, and then there's that big awkward silence...
...
...
... Can I stay with you?"
Shrek - Guessed by grinning_dagger

Allow me to introduce you to the greatest thing that ever came out in the early 90's:
(It's about 10 minutes long, but worth watching all the way through.)
Neverwinter Nights AND cheesy white-boy-style rap in the same video! Plus racial diversity in the schoolplace and OMG the world is such a wonderful place except for teh EVILZ PAIRATS!!
MST3K must come back on the air so that they can make fun of this.

Carol's Golden Compass Daemon Test!
This test tracked 3 variables. How the score compared to the other people's:
Independent Soul. You scored -11 Extroversion, 5 Sensitivity, and 5 Openness! |
You are calm and logical, but not unemotional. You are an introvert, at heart, preferring to read alone than be subjected to the crush and noise of a big party or bar. You have a few friends and family, whose presence you welcome - to a point. Even they can wear on your nerves eventually, and you need to retreat back into your personal space for a while so you can recharge. Your energy comes in bursts, after which you need a long nap or a couple of evenings at home to recuperate. You are comfortable with yourself, and reasonably confident. You want the friendship and goodwill of others, but you are not willing to sacrifice your principles in order to get it. If your close friends need something that you can provide, however, you will be the first to offer it. You are a good and sympathetic listener, and are aware of your friend's emotional states. With your very close friends, you will open up, but rarely - you don't like to burden people with your problems. At the same time, though, you are honest and are not willing to alter the truth for the sake of convenience. Among strangers you are reserved, and may resort to making jokes to disguise your true feelings. While you are not afraid of conflict, you do not seek it, either. When you are hurt or insulted, you feel that you have a choice to make. You can choose to take the up on it and defend yourself, or you can let it pass. Your decision may depend on how well you know the person, how personally you take the insult, or simply what mood you are in that day. Your friends may not always know how you are going to react, for that reason. Whatever you reaction, though, you will be logical, rational and unnervingly accurate: a measured strike. Your daemon's form would represent your calm, introverted nature, your cool logic, and your impatience with crowds of people. He or she would probably whisper ironic comments in your ear, give logical advice and try to hide his or her soft side from everyone, even you. Suggested forms: |

 Dear Santa...Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Friday I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Sunday I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). In November I put money in drawn_abroad's expired parking meter (14 points). In March I helped faer_child hide a body (-173 points). In January I bought porn for slef (-10 points). Overall, I've been nice (523 points). For Christmas I deserve a new bike! Sincerely, |
