Movie Meme
So I didn't escape the latest Meme making the circuits. Heck - I got tagged 2x! Once by Richmond and once by SarahK.
Ok, Ok, I get the hint.... But you really have no idea what you are asking. Folks, I don't pay attention to those kinds of details in movies. I just watch them. And memorize the lines I really like. Yep - I steal the lines.
So - here are the "original rules":
Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at IMDb. In the overview at the top of each movie's page, there are "Plot Keywords," usually five of them. (Plus more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then the rest of us get to play movie buff and see if we can guess them.
Yeah, right. So.....here's what I'm gonna do. Like Christina, I'll change the rules a bit. I'll do some details from the movies, and a line. This should be easy - I'm not THAT good.
1) Secretary/lies/big hair "Play nice with the other kids"
2) Red/different/evil "Second date, no tongue!"
3) Battle/betrayal/king " Only a fool wants what he can not have"
4) Attack/destruction/love "Up Yours"
5) Reporter/child/New York "Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it."
6) Sex/bathtub/piano " I appreciate this whole seduction thing you've got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I'm a sure thing. "
7) Strike/Sumo/Houseboat "Is lap dancing a style? "
8) Hanging/Revenge/Battle "God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure your f*cked"
9) Mall/shot gun/blood "How about I put my foot up your ass, will that be your problem? "
10) Push-ups/gas/gadgets " Didn't you get the memo?"
Ok - that's all I got at the ready. Put your answers in the comments and I'll post the correct ones Monday.
Oh, and I'm not tagging anyone. I'm late to the party so I'll just say - ENJOY!

Posted by: Quality Weenie at May 19, 2007 09:30 AMThat line from #6 cracks me up!! I didn't know the movie, but it's kinda less funny coming from a prostitute...

Posted by: Christina at May 19, 2007 09:53 AM1. Working Girl (one of my faves)
4. Independence Day (love that one)
Posted by: Richmond at May 19, 2007 10:46 AMRichmond is correct. Sorry QW.
Oh, and Christina? Yeah, I used that one a lot when I was shopping for furniture. I'm buyin' you don't need to "close the deal". ;-) In THAT context it's pretty damned funny!!!
Posted by: Tammi at May 19, 2007 12:24 PM#10 is "Batman Begins". Best of all the feature-length Batman movie's IMHO.
