pass the popcorn out of town!


Incredible!
I realized that I have become a "quote" junkie. I just can't seem to turn off my search for memorable mentions when I'm watching a movie, even those on television, even those at Cinematique... everywhere I go.
I love it!
Even more so, I love how the quotes actually turn out to be quite pertinent to the plot of the films, even when the quotes come from the minor characters.
LOL! Perhaps that last is more true for me than for you, but you be the judge.
I've also hidden a little inside joke in this game.
(smile)
Oh, one more thing. Just like my matching questions that I give my students, some movie choices are answers to more than one quote.
You know, to keep it interesting.

1) "What is this, some kind of staring contest between two kids in the neighborhood?"

2) "I see you still have your sense of humour, eh?"

3) "Now, what was to be a celebration will be a posthumous homage."

4) "They're not trained cats, they're just friends."

5) "Don't ever call me 'doll'."

6) "I'd rather you be on drugs than talk crap."

7) "That is Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. She is Grandfather's seeing-eye bitch."

8) "Okay, come on, lets' play chase."

9) "Lots of rubbish in your head."

10) "Grandfather says that is not possible."

11) "Did you know that bees and dogs can smell fear?"

12) "So, I am allowed to be old as long as I don't want to be young?"

13) "Mom, if they wanted to get us, they would have done it while we were asleep."
