Cinema Quote Sense

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so.

-Ford Prefect to Arthur Dent, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

(edit, I suppose it's possible the movie won't actually USE that line, but they better, or else they'll deserve a good flogging)

So someone can just post a quote from a book that is being re-worked into a movie? Which at one point was a TV show. Strange.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

only if the movie is about to come out and there's a high probability that the line will be used as is in the adaptation.

[House of Mustard]

As I recall, that line was used in the BBC miniseries.  That's pretty close to a movie.

Besides, SE made the rules for this thread.  He can break them.

[Fellfrosch]

Which is why I never follow rules at all.

[House of Mustard]

We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages -- we're English!

 -- Jack, Lord of the Flies

Just getting us back on track.

[Fellfrosch]

"Do you have any idea what it's like being English? Being so correct all the time, being so stifled by this dread of, of doing the wrong thing...we'll all terrified of embarrassment. That's why we're so dead. Most of my friends are dead, you know, we have these piles of corpses to dinner."

--Archie, A Fish Called Wanda

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

"This is no mine. It's a tomb"
Boromir, The Fellowship of the Rings

[Archon]

I was just looking at Musical Sparks, and decided that this thread needed reviving, since I am better at movie lines than lyrics.

"There's an old mica mine down by the lake. The kids go there, and they yell down the hole to hear their voices echo. I'm not going to tell you what the teenagers do there."      - The Great Outdoors

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

sorry, Archon, I keep trying, but I got nothin.

[Entsuropi]

I can never remember the quotes correctly, myself. Then I used the wonder of the internet! http://www.filmsite.org/

Vivian: Well, speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them work out a little first, see if they're front-runners or come from behind, find out what their hole-card is. What makes them run.
Marlowe: Find out mine?
Vivian: I think so.
Marlowe: Go ahead.
Vivian: I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a lead, take a little breather in the backstretch, and then come home free.
Marlowe: You don't like to be rated yourself.
Vivian: I haven't met anyone yet that can do it. Any suggestions?
Marlowe: Well, I can't tell till I've seen you over a distance of ground. You've got a touch of class, but, uh...I don't know how - how far you can go.
Vivian: A lot depends on who's in the saddle.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

and what movie would that be?

"Harses Harses Harses Harses!"
-Annie, Sleepless in Seattle.

[Entsuropi]

The big sleep, mr oh-so-cultured.

[Archon]

Go horsie, go fast! - The Frisco Kid

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

"That was the oldest horse I ever saw." - that old guy without a name, Far and Away

[CinderEllie]

Goodbye. So Long. And thanks for all the fish.
