Back with the Movie Keyword Meme! [Oct. 1st, 2008|11:18 pm]
I haven't been online in ages (well, at least not over here...), but since [info]svartalfur semi-complained about that in an email - well, he was very polite and all and didn't really complain, but since I miss you all... :-) - here I am, back, carrying a meme. I know some of you are movie lovers, so come and play?!


THE MOVIE KEYWORD MEME!
[01] -- Go to IMDB.com and look up your 10 favorite movies.
[02] -- Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
[03] -- LULZ @ THE KEYWORDS!
[04] -- Have your friends guess the movie names.

1. Apple / Trust / New York City
2. Basement / Talk to Camera / Airplane - Fight Club, solved by [info]svartalfur
3. Archery / Opera / New York
4. Germany / China / Helicopter
5. Dutch Eastindian Company / Bed Jumping / Cameo Appearance
6. Helicopter / Naval Uniform / Lithuania
7. Upper Class / One Word Title / Fall from Height
8. Ship / Coffee / Fax Machine - The Usual Suspects, solved by [info]svartalfur
9. Shirtless Male / Based on Short Story / Photograph
10. Baboon / Cuckoo Clock / Rummage Sale

One of them has already been guessed correctly over at lj, but I'll post it here as fresh & new nevertheless! :-)

They're all pretty mainstream, BTW. My movie preferences aren't too obscure...

That Movie Meme [Jul. 10th, 2008|07:47 pm]
[Current Mood |good]
[Current Music |none]

I'm still around, contrary to some beliefs... :-D

RL is pretty hectic at the moment (in a good way, work is going great etc.), but there's always time for a movie meme, right?

(I stole this from [info]synn.)

This is Entertainment Weekly's Top 100 movies of the last 25 years list.

1) Bold the ones you have seen.
2) Put an asterisk after the movie title* if you really liked it.
3) Cross it out if you saw a film and really disliked it.
4) Underline the ones you own..

Team Dragon Limerick #2 [May. 20th, 2008|12:28 am]

And another one, Edgar Allen Poe style:

There was a young phoenix named Lenore
who's voice sounded more than just sore
Quoth the dragon: "For you there's truly no savin'
'Cause my flame makes you look like a raven
And of Snarry thou shalt sing nevermore!"

I've got one, too:

There was a li'l phoenix named Fawkes
who wrote like that Nicholas Sparks
The dragon said: "That's so lame!"
And burned him with hot Snarry flame
And li'l Fawkes just dissolved into quarks.

[A/N: No offence, Nic...]

7 Things Meme [Mar. 10th, 2008|09:53 pm]
[Current Mood |good]
[Current Music |none]

gacked from [info]svartalfur, or "stolen", to be more precise, since he said he'd tag only those who don't want to do it... I could have lied and said that I don't want to, but I'm an honest cheat if nothing else :-P

a) List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself
b) Tag seven people to do the same
c) Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it"

And I tag the seven people on my flist who haven't done it yet. You know who you are...!

The Results of the Movie Quotes Meme [Feb. 29th, 2008|11:01 pm]
[Current Mood |fine]
[Current Music |none]

And here are the results of the still unsolved Movie Quotes:


2. Soon I'm gonna be sucking down piña coladas in a hot tub with six girls named Amber and Tiffany. (Hint: Which leaves us only with the How; and therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub. [said by the same character])
from Inside Man (character: Dalton Russell (Clive Owen))

3. I don't care about the money. I'm pulling back the curtain. I want to meet the wizard. (Hint: CRS)
from The Game (character: Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas))

5. You still don't know who I am, do you? After all these years, you still don't have a clue. (Hint: The title of this movie consists of a female name and the opposite of a Red-Hot-Chili-Peppers-song.)
from Lulu On The Bridge (character: Hannah (Gina Gershon))

7. All through dinner, I had one thought, one desire. To touch you. To hold you. (Hint: about the lead actor in this movie: He has twice played characters with the same first and last name. Not in this movie, BTW.)
from Damage (character: Dr. Stephen Fleming (Jeremy Irons))

8. May I ask you - have you ever been in love before? (Hint: Not Aphrodite, but close.)
from Venus (character: Maurice (Peter O'Toole))

10. Come on, he's one guy, and he's French. (Hint: Think "the middle one of three".)
from Ocean's Twelve (character: Turk Malloy (Scott Caan))

15. Think of it: never a man-made sound... and then Mozart! (Hint: Think sentimental. Verrrrry sentimental.)
from Out of Africa (charcter: Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) --- ETA: EEEEEEP! Of course Denys Finch Hatton says that! I got confused, because my first pick for a quote from that movie was "He even took the gramophone on safari." - but thought that would be too easy. Sorry!)



I think Being John Malkovich, Lulu on the Bridge and Manhattan were the hardest ones.
Okay, maybe Inside Man was hard, too, since that movie isn't that well known (though it should be, IMO), but I thought the second quote (the one I added as a hint) would be recogniseable. Well, go and watch Inside Man if you have a couple of hours off...

And I was sure everybody would know the quote from Out of Africa immediately... Hehe, guess I'm the only sentimentalist around here. :-P

Thanks for playing, guys! That was fun! :-)
