The Movie Quote Game

[Omra]

Nah… it has always been called:

But no one ever remembers the part below ‘The Thing’ they always just remember it as ‘The Thing’. The original short story was called ‘Who goes there?’ which the remake stayed far closer to.

Trivia- James Arness played the monster (aka 'The Killer Carrot)

The reason some of the scares looked so good was because the director was real trickster (though some thought he was an SOB), he would tell the actors to say their lines and then open a door and go outside. What he didn’t tell them was that James Arness would be standing outside waiting for them, to give them the fright of their lives!

“You know, I think I understand what you’re like now. You’re very beautiful, and you think men are only interested in you because you’re beautiful, but you want them to be interested in you because you’re you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you’re not very interesting. You’re rude, you’re hostile, you’re sullen, you’re withdrawn. I know you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath but the only reason anyone would bother to look past all that is because you’re beautful. Ironic, isn’t it? In an odd way, you’re your own problem.”

Twilight? heh…just kidding.

[Gryper]

Omega Man?

Nope,

I have a feeling this is James Spader from ‘Stargate’, but I could be wrong…

and nope.

It’s just The Thing. I think it was called The Thing from Another Planet when it came out on video to distinguish it from the John Carpenter treatment.

This sounds maddeningly familiar, but I’m just not getting it.

Here’s a favorite speech of mine:

“You know, I think I understand what you’re like now. You’re very beautiful, and you think men are only interested in you because you’re beautiful, but you want them to be interested in you because you’re you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you’re not very interesting. You’re rude, you’re hostile, you’re sullen, you’re withdrawn.

In an odd way, you’re your own problem.”

The Thing from Another Planet that’s it! And I have no idea what your quote is from. It’s not even vaguely familar to me.

I remembered most of the title, heh.

Twilight? heh…just kidding.

Badger’s or mine? Mine’s defo not from Twilight. :eek:

Why am I hearing John Cusak in my head when I read this?

BTW, they’re re-remaking it.

Amazingly, I actually knew all that trivia about it, and yet, I was still convinced that my recollection of the title was correct. Weird.

Another tidbit: The flaming Thing scene in this movie is believed to be the first full-body burn using a stunt man. He was wearing an asbestos suit (which, of course, they didn’t know what bad for you back then) and breathing from a tank of pure oxygen.

While on fire. :eek:

Twilight? heh…just kidding.

You’re actually not as far off as you might think. :rolleyes:

Why am I hearing John Cusak in my head when I read this?

Schizophrenia? Demon possession? John Cusack has a small door in his office that leads to the inside of your head?

BTW, they’re re-remaking it.

No way! Suh-weet!

ETA: Apparently not exactly. It’s a prequel.

[frakkintalos]

"Thinkers and philosophers, all of them saying exactly the same thing: “Only I am right! The others are all idiots!”

I hear it in my head. Weird accent…craaap! Oh wait, they’re burning stuff. ‘Fahrenheit 451’!!

That’s Jack Nicholson! He’s talking to…um…Catwoman! I mean, Michelle Pfeiffer. ‘Wolf’

Are you kiddin’ me?!? Don’t tell me. Weyland-Yutani created The Thing!

Anyway, my turn for a quote:

“When I found her, she looked so peaceful. Why do you have to die to let go? All my life, I never needed anybody… And now, because of this thing she left me, I’m scared.”

Ya mon, you got it.

“When I found her, she looked so peaceful. Why do you have to die to let go? All my life, I never needed anybody… And now, because of this thing she left me, I’m scared.”

That’s Walken in Brainstorm…I think…I hear it in my head in his voice anyways.

“An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy.”

Of course! Why couldn’t I remember that?

“Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!”

Well done. I didn’t think anyone but me ever saw that.

[frakkintalos]

I love the Spader and Jack scene in the bathroom, when Jack marks his territory.

Heh. I’d forgotten about that. Great scene.

I know this one- Being John Malkovich.

What part of the above is your quote? You might want to include quotation marks so that we know next time. And you might want to tone down the 'tude, dude.

City Slickers

[hansioux]

i’ll give this a try…

“never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.”

ah… perhaps this is way too easy, but i love that movie.

[Pike]

I think that was said in the spirit of the quote.

The Princess Bride!!!

Finally a softball.

"How do you write women so well?

I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

[Gryper]

City Slickers

City Slickers? Really? It’s now a SF/Fantasy/Horror movie?

I think that was said in the spirit of the quote.

Maybe…didn’t read that way at all to me. My sense of humor this morning seems to have been shoveled out with all the frakkin snow I shoveled this morning. My bad.

Another great Jack Nicholson quote, this one from As Good As It Gets.

LOVE that movie.
