kill an hour! kill two!
By briantologist | December 19, 2008
grabbed this marm (I don’t like the word “meme”) off the distinguished and fantastic Josh Fruhlinger, AKA The Comics Curmudgeon, and was just tickled pink with it. Here’s the poop:
Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
Post them here for everyone to guess.
NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search functions.
Feel free to answer in the comments, both of you.
- “These the kind that blow up into the funny shapes?”
“Well, no. Unless round is funny.” - “I need unguent.”
- “Everybody knows that Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book does is, it presupposes the idea that … maybe he didn’t?”
- “I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says!”
- “I like this one! One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, this guy’s sayin’ ‘Whaddya want from me?’”
- “No. Try not. Do … or do not. There is no try.”
- “The story opens on these mysterious explosions … Nobody knows what’s causing them … But they’re upsetting the buffalo!”
- “Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!”
“Well he should’ve armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.” - “Yeah, well they can’t all be winners, kid!”
- “There isn’t gonna be any more Jerky Beef!”
- “Hey, careful, man! There’s a beverage here!”
- “After my divorce from Luther I scraped by with babysitting gigs and odd jobs. Mostly the jobs we call ‘blow’.”
- “Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?”
- “I hope you were the groom.”
- “Y’know, the Nazis had pieces of flair they made the Jews wear.”
I am tapping, uh, let’s see. Barrett, Kerewin, Emily, Jason, Miz Flannery, and Roll-on Butthole. Because I’m positive each and every one of them has like two and a half hours to waste doing this. Good times!

I am really bad at quotes, but…
6. Star Wars – Empire Strikes Back
13. LotR – Return of the King
14. Ocean’s Eleven (Thank you TNT for replaying it all the time)
15. Office Space!
I’ll have to find the movies for the others given how awesome some of the quotes are even without context.
December 19th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I’m going to do this, too, even though you didn’t tag me. I have so much time to waste.
3. “The Royal Tenenbaums.” My favorite.
4. My husband thinks this is “Bottle Rocket.” I don’t know.
6. Again, my husband says “Empire Strikes Back.” I think it’s someone making fun of “Empire Strikes Back.”
11. I think it’s “The Big Lebowski.”
13. It’s driving me nuts that I can’t figure this one out. I know I’ve seen it. Oh! “Princess Bride,” maybe?
15. “Office Space.”

Actually, I probably have repeated TV airings to thank for knowing those few quotes (except Star Wars).
December 19th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Number 5 is from “Goodfellas”…for some reason this quote comes up a lot between my husband and I.
December 19th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Fine, FINE. I’ll do it, gimme a couple minutes. I took the day off–why you gotta make me work on my day off? Asshole.
So…I know I’ve seen more than three of these movies, but the only quotes I know without cheating are Return of the King, Office Space, and The Empire Strikes Back–or Ep5, as it’s known to cool non-losers like me. You know, the guys who can instantaneously regurgitate quotes from Return of the King, Office Space, and The Empire Strikes Back.

Raising Arizona!
December 19th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
It is disturbing to me how many of these sound soooo familiar, yet I can’t come up with movie title. The only ones I know for sure have already been answered here.
I was pretty sure #13 was the Princess Bride but someone else says otherwise.
Ok, off to do this myself. It is a lot better than contemplating how Seattle drivers can’t drive in the snow.
December 19th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Oh! Raising Arizona! Sweet!
And I did it.
December 20th, 2008 at 5:27 am
Ooh! I know one!
#9 = Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope
December 20th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
8 is Unforgiven.
December 20th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Here’s what I got.
1. Raising Arizona
4. The Godfather Part Deux
6. The Empire Strikes Back
7. Ed Wood
11. The Big Lebowski
13. Return of the King
14. Ocean’s Eleven
15. Office Space

All right B-man, the price of marming someone is that you now must go test your movie trivia…I expect nothing short than a 100%.
December 21st, 2008 at 11:26 am
This is a great list~ some of my faves!!
2: Fargo
9: Bad Santa? I feel certain Billy Bob Thorton said it, and it weren’t Sling Blade.
12:Hedwig and the Angry Inch~
I’m glad someone finally got the Ed Wood quote, it’s one of my favorites ever.
December 22nd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
what the heck is 10?!
December 28th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Number 10 has been killing me. Every time I read it, I can hear it in my head.
Luckily they always play Trading Places near the New Year (a great Christmas movie, Dan Aykroyd as drunk Santa) and there it was.
Whew, I can sleep, now.

I’m working on mine today. I know you are on the edge of your seat!
January 21st, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I know the ones that make my top 15 list too:
1. Raising Arizona – Best movie ever. Don’t get me started quoting it. Especially after a few beers.
3. Royal Tenenbaums
11. Big Lebowski – Fucking eh. I gotta rash.
15. Office Space
4. seems very familiar but I can’t figure it out.
I love this game! Are you going to post the answers, or do we have to look them all up?

I caught the Yoda ESB quote, but that’s about it. I suppose my cinema knowledge has been diminishing over the years.

[...] about you. What does that mean, then? All the stories I’ve read who marmed that meme (thank ya for that term, Brian Byrne) want you to think it means that you should NEVER DO ANYTHING AGAIN [...]
