e. No googling, using IMDB search, or other search functions


1: "Was there not too much gristle in the blancmange?"

2a: Do you know what your sin is, 2b?
2b: Ah hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now -- I'm gonna have to go with wrath. is the alliance guy to mal in serenity (lastclearchance)

3a: You don't want to eat me. I'm a very important person on my planet. Like a queen, a goddess even. There are those who worship me. I'm not saying this to impress you, I'm just warning you it could start a war.
3b: War? Good. That means more food for my family. All 78 million of them. linda fiorentino as a forensic pathologist and vincent donofrio as a trans-space cockroach in men in black (he should bring more of the bug into his law and order role in my opinion) (skyecaptain)

4a: Do you have anything you want to say to the other ______ listening out there?
4b: As a matter of fact, I do. Come out, come out, wherever you are. it is an TV journalist to the WamPyr LeStat in Queen of the Damned (atommickbrane) (who i was sat right beside when we both first saw it) (aaliyah gets few good lines sadly)

5: The whole world will end very soon - black, brittle bodies peeling into ash... malcolm macdowell as mick in if... bein a tosser (as per entire film) (skyecaptain)

6: I put every damn pipe in this neighborhood. People think that pipes grow in their homes. But they sure as hell don't! Look at my knees! Look at my knees! the girlfriend's weird dad in eraserhead (the_roofdog)

7: The CORE of the nest egg!? is the albert brooks character in lost in america (ludickid)

8: Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw is the lead heather in heathers (ludickid)

9a: Let's go do some crimes!
9b: Yeah! let's get sushi and not pay! is the cute teen crims in repo man (ludickid)

10: You're a comical little geezer. You'll look funny when you're fifty. james fox to mick jagger in performance (hipsterdetritus)

#7 is "Lost in America".

#8 is "Heathers".

#9 is "Repo Man".

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

you're too good at this! watch less TV!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

5 - Terminator 2?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

nope! clue: the film is nothing to do with the world ending -- the character is being pretentious and teenage

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

I know I've seen #3. Is it "Mars Attacks!"? (I don't remember the Martians ever saying anything, though...)

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

they say stuff through the translation device but no -- clue: you'll possibly be surprised the second character speaks here also, though he actually asayus quite a lot (haha worst clue ever)

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

asayus = says in martian

[hipsterdetritus.livejournal.com]

10: Performance. (He was right.)

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

korrekt on both counts

another less than helpful clue for (5) is that (10) would have made an awesome sequel to (5) and one day i will write a essay on (10) proving this is exactly what it is

(5) actually does have a sequel which other people like, but not me

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Is #5 "If..."?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

yup: performance is the real if2

[koganbot]

So yr saying that Mick Jagger is playing Mick Travis in Performance?

(Btw, I am one of the few people I know who owns the single version of "Memo To Turner.")

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

not necessarily! it's possible it contains none of the same characters!

(less perversely: yes, more or less)

[koganbot]

(Well we both agree that in if.... Malcolm McDowell's character Mick Travis is playing Mick Jagger; it's possible, though, that Mick Jagger in performance isn't playing someone who's playing Mick Jagger. In fact, I think that irl Mick Jagger at the time was trying to soften what he did.

Has anyone ever seen Ned Kelly? (It may be a film that drew 0 customers.)

[koganbot]

I realize that #3 is probably a dialogue between intergalactic-traveling insects, but I'm going to guess instead that #3A is Aaliyah in Queen Of The Damned (not that I've ever seen Queen Of The Damned, but one of these has to be Queen Of The Damned, right?).

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

3 is not queen of the damned; 3a is not an intergalactic-travelling insect

[koganbot]

Perhaps 3B is an insect (whether a traveler or a stay-at-home)?

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

3b *IS* an intergalactic-travelling insect, tho he is badly disguised as a person some of the time

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Is it Men in Black?!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

korrekt!

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Oh Christ, it was killing me. Seriously. But checking now, yes, I R RITE.

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

6 is the girlfriend's Dad in Eraserhead? No idea on any others.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

korrekt

(best meet-the-parents scene in any film ever)

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Hold the phone...is #4 Mars Attacks?

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Wait, no, that can't be it.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

The clue is in the question: 2 is Sesevenen! I would also like to claim that I'd have got 3 8 and 9 (I still use "do some crimes!")

[lastclearchance.livejournal.com]

I thought 2 was Serenity.

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Is it actually Se7en? I don't remember that line actually being in the movie (presumably after Gwenyth Paltrow in a box and before surprise uncredited actor killer getting capped woops [/spoiler]).

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

It is possible that I am a fool.

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

You see, the number 7, when inverted by roughly 90 degrees clockwise, becomes a somewhat crooked but still recognizable "V."

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Actually that quote reminds me of something out of Hellboy. But I spose he doesn't have to worry about sinnin'.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

2 is serenity

1 is very cult and possibly never seen in the US
4 is the greatest film ever made that only i like

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

4: I bet that is MARS ATTACKS!
I guess "alieng scum" is fill in the gap word thingie.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

still not mars attacks!

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

I have only seen Mars Attacks, Queen of the Damned and that Henry Miller one about the ghosts so unless it is one of those I DO NOT BLUDDY KNOW.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

it is indeed one of those (except mars attacks)

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

OH GOD!! It is QOTD and it's when lestat is on telly innit!!!

I remember this because in the French dubbed version this is where I learnt "le vommm-pee lestat"!
