Name that Film: Miscellaneous Edition!

Various traits dealing with a diverse subject matter brings the Film Edition to a category neatly filed under the heading entitled "Miscellaneous". It's like the junk drawer...only worse as the borders are not bound to be square. Did you know 90% of all tires on the road are under inflated and badly in need of repair?

Go about your business and try not to stare. There will be no pointing and loud noises are COMPLETELY out of the question. You will find an excess of hot air almost everywhere without any real exertion, which leads to about two billion gallons of gas wasted annually and a whole lot more scraps and skirmishes than completely necessary. Seymour Grime does not have the time nor inclination for conventional methods, which is precisely why I agreed to take on this here case (a bit temperamental I see...artistic?).

A random venture into the wild? Why not. Required to furnish the assignment will include miscellaneous items such as but not limited to: a working latrine, a paperback dictionary should suffice in any open forum, as would a six pack of Dos Equis brown (stay thirty my friends!) of which I will share half, an adequate dose of vitamin c...dealer choice and finally a piece of parchment and sharpened pencil. It seems I've come upon the sniffles...a portable 8 track would also fit nicely if you had a free copy of Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" for the busy peoples passing by...if you lean in close you might even catch that steady streaming beating pulse...but completely unnecessary if you're in a pinch for tunes.

Some people feel the amount of noise generated by a change is in direct proportion to the complexities of the change so there becomes a city called Rome on every continent. Everything reportedly found on the web is miscellaneous...and...X is the new Y. Hadn't you heard?

Yes, this was not in the original contract but I think therefore I am. "I am" being the shortest complete sentence known to Man...but we shouldn't let that stop us. There are dust particles perched where we sit upon us made from dead skin that hand gels just can't touch...but it don't accumulate ta too much...not like the junk drawer...that's gut miscellaneous change some Canadian, mini nail clippers, and out-date coupons...which is akin to an average arrangement of assorted flowers in assorted shapes and sizes, like miscellaneous faces of a crowd in disguise, a variety of ingredients in a recipe or disjointed parts without regard; this law does not make a choice of provisions...it just is.

Transparency juss may be the new objectivity if we remember to pass out the correct vials. Don't worry...this list shall remain anonymous and the currents of information will rise and fall like the tide depending on your perspective.

Did you know more people are killed annually by donkeys than die in plane crashes? 'Round here, they take that jackass thing seriously.

Color my world Crayola, who could wrap around this world 4 times over with all their crayons constructed annually, never mind since I was a kid. If the time would become available, I'd like to teach the world to sing, if for only the chance to be free...incidentally, there is a suicide attempt nearly once a week at Niagara Falls, which leads the Film Edition by the hand carefully away with averted eyes.

I'll take Purgatorio for tree thousand.

The game of snakes and ladders was created by what 13th century poet saint?

What is...Gyandev? The ladders represented virtues and the snakes indicated vices. The game was played-

I beg your pardon sir...that shall suffice!

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog uses every letter of the alphabet. No one ken lick their own elbow and most people fear spiders more than death.

Life is a complete sentence for any thinking and feeling individual.

Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and sported just one testicle so anything is truly possible if you make it happen. Be leery of any month that starts on a Sunday which will surely sport a Friday that falls on the 13th, which could leave everything to the imagination but it may just be running away with me? Coca Cola would be green if they didn't color it and know that if you go 18 days, 21 hours and 40 minutes in a rocking chair reportedly listening to nothing but the Blues, you will induce hallucinations, slurred speech, memory lapse, blurred vision and a deep sense of paranoia but don't lose any sleep over it...no piece of square dry paper ken be folded more than 7 times in half.

Willie Dixon was the 7th son and this sure has been fun, I'm glad you asked...

Now, PLEASE SEND MELONS...

Well, thanks to blood for another amazing intro to our game this week. It's amazing what the lack of thought can force us to think about. We had no theme this week, so instead you get the miscellaneous ramblings that are all inteded and aimed at the same goal. Pretty deep huh?
Now for our game. This week's quotes could be from any movie in history. The way we see it, if you are not locked into a genre, you may not get them all, but you may not miss them all either.

So, read the quotes below and figure out what movie they came from. If you are right, I will let you know and add your clip as soon as possible.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy, this week's edition of Name that Film!!!

1. "Mom, that salesman's on tv."

2. "Thou we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid."

3. "My life is worth more that a piece of film."

4. "Oh who gives a damn? Stealing all my Oreos, crapping all over the place."

5. "In here?.......Doom."

6. "Do you want the Lord to watch me kick your ass?"

7. "No thank you. I take it black....like my men."

8. "Learn it. Know it. Live it."

9. "I killed your little brother, Moreno. But just remember, he's dead because you weren't looking out for him."

10. "If I wasn't in uniform, I'd split your skull with the butt of this revolver, faster than you could say police brutality."

Bonus:

11. "I strangled him. His body is decomposing in my locker."

Let's see those answers! Remember to check back later if you don't know the movies. Someone will get them and if not, I will leave clues for the really hard ones.

Thanks for playing and see you next Tuesday!!

By the way, Blood-N-Bolts Productions has been running this game for quite a long time now and ideas are running thin. If you have a bright idea for an edition of our game, chime in and we will use it if we can. We'll even name it after you! Thanks!!!!


Just for fun....see if you can name the movies that the pics came from!

Well, looks like we have the early bird special this week. We had a little pre-mature posting so we're going public a little earlier than normal. Oh well, let's see whose up Monday night for a change and give them a chance!!! Don't worry, I'll see a doctor this week and make sure that I can hold out until Tuesday next time! lol

Good luck and have fun playing Name that Film!

aero said...

Hey Bolt and Blood, nice job this week. I've got a couple of guesses now and maybe a few more when my brain fully awakes.

#7 is from Airplane and I believe #9 is from Scareface.

Thanks again for all you guys do. Take it easy gentlemen.

storkjrc said...

i love the junk drawer, its the first place i look when i lost or need something.

1. Armaggedon

4. Every Which way but loose.

8. Fast Times at Ridgemont High

10. National Lampoons Vacation

I also knew #7

nice job this week guys.

SpeedBeagle said...

#2 is Mary Poppins. You have to love the British suffragette movement- all those well to do ladies throwing things at the Prime Minister, generally behaving like hoodlums(according to British standards of the day) and yes, even chaining themselves to the wheels of his carriage.

#7 surely has to be Airplane.

Pictures:
Frankenstein
The Wizard of Oz("Who rang that bell?")
The Dark Knight
Toy Story
???
Titanic
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid(the final shootout)
???

Bosox 61 said...

I only knew 3 this week for sure and two have been named.

$5 is "The Color of Money"

klvalus said...

Got nothing new to add and only knew one of them!

Thanks for last week -- I would have NEVER gotten that rat flick! LOL

BoltBacker21 said...

Sorry I'm getting a late start today everyone. That's the hard part of being a teacher. Such long vacations that I get my internal clock all screwed up. Don't you feel sorry for me?


Anyway, yes!!! aero got us up and running with number 7 being Airplane!!! Great work aero and thanks for playing, and the kind words. Your clip is coming up (it's a classic).

And Storkjrc comes in with four more correct answers!!! Very well played sir! You were correct on all of your guesses. 4/11 not bad!

Thanks for playing. Keep trying, some more may come to you.

Alright SpeedyB! I'm glad that someone reads all the way through to the end!

You got number 2 right (Mary Poppins) and six of the eight pictures! All we need now are the 5th and 8th pics.

Thanks for playing!!!!

Great pull on number 5 bosox! I was afraid that it might be too short of a quote without having any clues to go on. Well done sir!

BoltBacker21 said...

5. The Color of Money: "In here?.......Doom."

BoltBacker21 said...

Thats okay Kristen. We still appreciate you showing up and taking a shot. Keep checking back and find out what they were! We only have 3, 6, 9, and 11 to go!

SpeedBeagle said...

Geez, I left an opening for you as wide as the Grand Canyon, and you didn't take it(or have you never seen these movies before????)

BoltBacker21 said...

Alright SpeedyB. Apparently my brain doesn't work in the summer either. What opening are you talking about.

I have seen every movie represented this week.

????

SpeedBeagle said...

Here's an idea--

How about lines from Academy Award winning songs??? Match the lyric to the movie. Instead of posting links to clips, you could load the song to your music player when the correct answer is given.

(Don't know the lyrics to a lot of Academy Award winning songs- see me.)

SpeedBeagle said...

Surely you read my first post thoroughly, didn't you :o)?????

BoltBacker21 said...

I'll have to run that idea by my pahtna, but it has potential. Hopefully, blood makes it over here this week.

By the way, for those who haven't found it, blood has a new blog called "blood blog". It's here on blogspot.com. Check it out and say hi!

Back to you speedyB. I do believe that I read your first comment thoroughly, but I am still clueless. Perhaps a clue would be nice.

Gene Haddock said...

Great opening by Blood, again. You two guys go together like PB&J!

I only knew the one by the great Ruth Gordon.

BoltBacker21 said...

Thanks Gene, you're too kind.

Ruth Gordon was a classic! No one could play the cranky old lady like she could.

SpeedBeagle said...

Surely you remember one of the great running gags of the movie.

BoltBacker21 said...

Mrs. Hainsly was carried off to prison, singing, and scattering pamphletts all the way!

Is that what you were looking for Speedy?

I'm so stressed. lol

SpeedBeagle said...

Surely you know that I'm talking about movie #7.

BoltBacker21 said...

No, I was focused on your other answer, number 2! That explains it!!! I am glad we worked that out.




...and stop calling me Shirley!



I finally got it!!!!

BoltBacker21 said...

I see that we have reached an impass, so I guess it is time to give some clues!

Hint for number 3: The actor who said this line was once hospitalized because he had a painful errection that lasted over three days. This was a side-effect from taking Viagra when he did not need to.


Hint for number 6: This movie was paid for by the lead actor. The actor who said this line was once married to Angelina Jolie.

Clues for 9 and 11 to come later!

Good luck!!

BLOOD said...

I figured it out finally.

wasssssup good peoples. Thanks for the warmth of your words.

-Blood

Bloodman said...

Areo-brother man, whatsappening?

The junk drawer is large and in charge...one can find most anything in most anyone's junk drawer(hows that for miscellanneous?)

Sister Suffragette WILL chain themselves to anything...for the cause!

Thanks Hanny...PB&J? That's some heavy company

The don't invent sandwiches like that everyday...

-B

Bosox 61 said...

OK - Based on the clues, #3 is "Hooper" and #6 is "The Apostle".

I can't get onto Blood's page. Can you put a link in?

BoltBacker21 said...

Great to see you B!!! So, are you blood, or bloodman, or both? Great to see all the old familiar screennames isn't it?

BoltBacker21 said...

Nicely deduced bosox!!! A detective couldn't have done better! I have a link to the Blood Blog on the side bar of my blog. You should be able to click on that and it will take you there. Let me know if it works.

BoltBacker21 said...

Clues for the remaining two:

Hint for number 9: Spicoli wasn't the only role for this young actor.


Hint for number 11: Have you ever heard of innercity kids who voluntarily choose to do math in the summer?

the two remaining pics to be answered:

Basketball pic: This film came out under two different names. Not that well known, but IMO, one of Duvall's best.

Red Sox pic: This player was crazy about baseball!

Bosox 61 said...

I guess I missed the part about guessing the picture sources. The Red Sox picture is Anthony Perkins playing Jimmy Piesall in the movie "Fear Strikes Out".

BoltBacker21 said...

I knew you would like the Jimmy Piersall pic, bosox! I'd like to see what would happen today if a player climbed the backstop.

My father-in-law tells a great story about Piersall after his retirement. I probably shouldn't tell it here, but let's just say that Jimmy was "colorful" well after he stopped playing.

BoltBacker21 said...

Next hints for the two remaining films:

Film 9: Juvinal Hall based movie staring Sean Penn.

Film 11: Lou Diamond Phillips plays a gang banger who wants to learn calculus in this flick.

Bosox 61 said...

Hey Bolt.

I don't want you to think that I abandoned you in this great hour of need (the last two answers) but I can be of no help without doing research.

"Fast Times" is the only Sean Penn movie I ever recall watching, unless an episode of Two and a Half Men counts.

Did LDP ever make any other movies besides "LaBamba" and "Young Guns"?

BoltBacker21 said...

That's okay bosox. One last hint for each movie remaining.

9. still pic of scene: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PuZoLkvmBbc/SV-5-Z2SIAI/AAAAAAAABqY/K49y6VM0aMc/s320/Bad+Boys+-+1983.jpg

11. http://www.chucksconnection.com/stand/stand02.jpg

Bosox 61 said...

Ok, those hints (although rather obvious) are enough.

#11 is "Stand and Deliver"?
#9 is "Bad Boys".

BoltBacker21 said...

Obvious or not, you still get credit for the two remaining movies bosox! You're percistancy paid off and is always appreciated.

BoltBacker21 said...

9. Bad Boys: "I killed your little brother, Moreno. But just remember, he's dead because you weren't looking out for him."

BoltBacker21 said...

Well, that's all the movies everyone. Thanks from B&B Productions for your continued participation.

By the way, the last picture that needed to be named was the one in the middle with Robert Duvall holding a basketball. That movie was released twice. Once as "The Ace" and the other as "The Great Santini". This was an excellent movie that showed Duvall at his best!!! I highly recommend it!!!
