Open Quote Roundup 2 -- Can't Stop the Signal

Mar 17, 2008 15:38

This is definitely the game that wouldn't die. I think a lot of it has to do with my Frankensteining it along, meticulously monitoring unanswered quotes and who owes what and how many points things are worth. I deserve an A for effort and an F- for letting things go. Hopefully indigoskynet isn't regretting her decision to bring me on as a mod ( Read more... )

A18 isn't a mis-recollection of 'say goodbye to all of this, and hello to oblivion', is it?

talmanes March 17 2008, 22:54:13 UTC

No, that one's an exact quote.

colubra March 17 2008, 22:58:16 UTC

cool; some guesses, then!

k05: Bladerunner
b13: Shawn of the Dead
g02: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Yes, yes, and yes; that's 6 points for you. Welcome to the game, and feel free to post your quotes either as a reply to this thread or to the main thread itself (I recommend the latter).

Thread 6

B06: American Pie?

G01: Napoleon Dynamite?

K01: Mad Max

K02: Rollerball?

Re: Pure Speculation: talmanes March 17 2008, 23:09:04 UTC

I am sorry to say that those all appear to be wrong (though indigoskynet will have to confirm B06, because I have no idea what movie it's from).

H 11. Apollo 13

Correct for 2, Slashy. Well done.

You did guess A30, which is weird; I thought I'd removed it. Maybe I removed an unguessed quote instead. I will investigate and mark it.

Your other 3 are correct, so that's 6 more on your tab.

Naw, you're exactly what we need to keep this community lively. One of my comods has a wedding planning, and the rest I think have forgotten, so it's nice to have the help [so much help I just sit back and boggle, impressed by your stamina and dedication. Seriously!]

A23: Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

K06 The Saint [the one with Val Kilmer]

talmanes March 18 2008, 15:38:11 UTC

You may not have gotten K06, but A23 is definitely Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That's 3 you owe me, for that 'un.

I'm glad I'm exceeding your expectations as a mod. It helps that I can do this from work (it helps a lot). It does not help, however, that I got back to work after gettin' my St. Paddy's drunk on and found that people had stormed the thread overnight. This is a lot of work to do with a hangover. ;)

paradisacorbasi March 19 2008, 00:34:34 UTC

Yes, this is an enthusiastic bunch.

And you definitely are exceeding expectations.

Three more quotes. will give it some thought.
