Mark A. Rayner, he who operates The Skwib (home of the Carnival of Satire, the 96th edition of which is up right now), has slapped me with a Movie-Related Meme. And it’s a good ’un.
Here’s the drill:
OK, let’s see what kind of Movie Buff you are. Oh, and no fair using IMDB or other Internet-related sources. It’s more fun if you try to figure these out from memory:
Now, who to tag with this mess? Naw, I don’t do the Taggy Thing. But I’ll bet Eric and Erica would have fun with this...not to mention Ivan G. Shreve, who can probably run rings around everyone else in this Subject Area. Anyone else, please feel free to play along.
Here’s the drill:
- Look up 15 of your favorite movies on IMDB.
- Take a quote from each and post them for your readership to properly identify.
- As your movie-savvy readers correctly identify the quotes’ cinematic origins in the comments, strike out the quotes and name the commenter who answered correctly.
- If the commenter also identifies the name of the speaker (the character or the actor), he or she gets bonus points in the form of a link to his or her site.

“When that rope starts to pull tight, you can feel the Devil bite your ass.”- The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (BobG)“One cannot choose but wonder.”- The Time Machine (1960) (Mamacita)- “Listen, there are dozens of girls in this town tonight that are in more danger than they’ll ever see with me.”
“You use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.”- Blazing Saddles (BobG, El Capitan)“You gotta be fucking kidding.”- The Thing (1982) (BobG)“I was misinformed.”- Casablanca (Houston Steve)“I can remember everything. That’s my curse, young man.

You shouldn’t have been that sentimental.”- Vertigo (The Mistress of Sarcasm)“There’s a lot of things about me that you don’t know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn’t understand.
