Name That Film: Anything Goes Edition!

Getting back in the swing of things is not as easy as it sounds. Nothing endures quite like change and yes, strange, there is a certain security in the status quo. How do we claim to know? Call it a guess. Now the Film Edition is no house of sin or place of illicit activity, but beautiful showgirls may pose as an evil robot to seduce at any time given the medium. This doesn't have to be a hangout for the power class to qualify! Anything goes!

Stuck with a flat tire? When in a prolonged rut the individual must step back to attack the forest through the trees and all the disease it represents, affecting new laws of natural discourse.

Putting on the ritz may give ya fits, it's true, but singing in the rain will give you the flu. Of course it could be worse. In fact, this could be a mission if you so choose. Those faint in heart and mind need not apply and don't bother watching the news...talk about singing the blues! Let's...do...the...time warp...again!


Turn around and repeat the steps whenever you’re away from me in a Busby Berkley-style number with glitter and legs. Some days, I feel like a family of muses that could light any city and always tend to order pizzas, hire slave dancers and the Max Rebo Band when the mood hits. Could it be sheer loneliness? Understand, sometimes it seems these leaks spring any day or way they please and whose gut that much gum or money on hand to carry extra nautical insurance? Age is a number and anger without cause does not bury the burden, but instead, necessitates a closer inspection. Now look at the direction this connection has taken!

Taking shape and given life all of it's own. I wanna dance the night away.

Considering the options, what leaves couldn't stand a little pruning or a brand new home? Isn't is strange, if you claim "malcontent", to be set in your ways for beyond days and get the same old results?

Rest assured, a person's character never truly changes from seeds of inception deep into the blind well of old age. So, go with what ya gut, where you happen to be, and trust in faith and that very same gut when it's friction versus momentum. We are often taxed by foolish pride, but don't dump any tea...just yet. Change is only a superficial observer and cares little for any heartfelt petition or reasons to object and the change is a symbolic part of ourselves we leave behind, never to be seen again and so we feel sad.

Aren't you glad luck has found this opportunity? Will we remain in a rote perfectly content just to be? Some say if you don't know your chemistry you may just be doomed to repeat it. Beliefs have the power to create as well as the power to destroy. This gives the individual an awesome ability to define each new experience. Yes, strangers will pass and laugh and point fingers but not the same ones as kids on a bus and whisper to each other about an old dog and new tricks, and this is no advertisement, excess on occasion ken be exhilarating, you should try it!

Speech without profit is maddening no doubt and not quite your circus sideshow but getting real close. Though not a betting man, I'm sure one should never annoy a hungry lion.

Void of routine the exploreer always does relish the role as a novice held under close investigation in the laboratories of the world. Loosening the reigns of routine and habit-hurling way past protocol-because...there are only so many hours in the day!

The suspense kills us all slowly...do you think it will last? Adapt and then adapt again or slowly perish. Start slow. Continue to squeeze that schedule, forget Joy or the notion of Beauty and get right down to the bottom line and thy'll call it a crime. This is no mid-life crisis but merely a tale of mortal men and their vices. Humanity tends to exploit novelty, much like our forefathers before us, placing less emphasis on the meat and potatoes of existence and going with the frilly lace and fancy steeples. On any given day there's no telling where we, as a society, will be swept off to...and yet, 6 feet of earth still make all men equal.

Endure what you must. Trust the notion of wellness in and among the beasts of the wild. Throw caution to the wind with the unpolluted eyes of a child. Take a chance. I hope you dance. Why, you know it to be true! Abstain to sustain sustenance. Gee baby aint I good to you? Imagine folly to stray idle so the old fashioned nut and a time hardened bolt make for the woods.

I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore or less, and 'less you decide to pass, this view never changes. This may bring about a hefty fine because maneuvering around a flashing bus tends to bring more than just new scents of the wind and tons of adolescent kids flipping the bird as you gaze on up mortified with the berry blues. Met with a similar situation, I say, please assume incompetence or ignorance before looking for conspiracy or blaming the Film Edition.

Remember, a fanatic is one who can't change their mind and won't change the subject, much to the audience's dismay.



Well, if anything goes, I don't have much to explain for this week's quotes! As always, thanks to Blood for his ever entertaining introduction. Name that Film would not be the same without it. Remember to check out "The Blood Blog" for more of the same.

By the way. All of the pictures are in honor of the late Patrick Swayze who passed away this week. They do not necessarily represent any movies in our game.

Directions: Read the movie quotes below and try to name the film they came from! That's it! Have at it and good luck to one and all!

1. "I think it's hard winning a war with words General."

2. "I want you to hit me in the face."

3. "I didn't like him anyway. He wasn't right....in the head."

4. "I'm standing here, you make the move. You make the move. It's your move."

5. "1958. It's been traveling 22 years to get here.

6. "You cursed brat! Look what you've done!"

7. "Excuse me, am I being fired?"

8. "KMART sucks."

9. "People will say we're in love."

10. "You're to stupid to have a good time!"


Now, weren't those the easiest quotes you have ever tried to answer? Yes? NO? I guess we'll see soon enough!

Thanks for playing everyone and remember to keep checking in to see the answers that you couldn't get.

See you next time on Name that Film!!!

Name That Film: Adaptation Edition: Book to Film

Adaptation is one of the most basic phenomena of biology, the scientific study of life. It is the process by which an organism becomes better suited to it's habitat and probably why dinosaurs crew razor sharp teeth in the first place!

All I do is sit on my fat ass with that annoying cursor blinking back. If I wasn't so fat, I could probably be happier. Maybe I should start jogging again? 5 miles a day! I need to turn my life around. I need to fall in love. I need to read more and improve myself. Besides fashion and what's happening, what did we learn in high school? The golden rule...not to be played the fool...in public!

What if I learned Russian or something? Not to be an outward underground commie per say, or to succinctly see a form of red, but to align greater realities in a common perspective with the objective of being a better person each day until I'm dead. What if I took up an instrument and learned to speak Chinese? I could be the blog-writer who speaks fluent Chinese and plays a mean cowbell. That'd be cool and so cutting edge I'd wanna say....aaaa-so!

You are what you love, not what loves you. It that whole grass is greener, give and take gig that becomes so big in the large scheme of things, never mind what it brings, that the participant can't help but feel enlightened, even indirectly, as if they had received their vitality and color artificially inseminated through a Hollywood tanning bed. The point being that each one of us is a metaphorical flower having a specific relationship what whatever happens to pollinate us. Now there is little time to compose and construct a long laundry list of items, each with it's inherent virtue and vice, but trust you me, there is a price to be paid. Believe that! Neither the flower nor the insect of pollination have the capacity to understand the importance of their lovemaking. Now some unlucky ladies will undoubtedly quip,

"That's a guy thing!", which may be true to some of you...but, by doing what we are designed to do, following our internal voice, each individual becomes a part of something large and magnificence often happens.

Adaptation is a profound process and means you figure out how to thrive in a hostile environment, which is akin to a wolverine lost in Buckeye country on a certain Saturday in the fall.

Rising from the ashes, the private sector must now emerge unscathed, intact, unchanged with the resolve of something fiercely determined, illustrating a much greater level of efficiency despite the diminished returns.

Will there be an increase in productivity, as we, as a separate species, are able to adapt AND adopt new behaviors in a whirling vortex of change. People are strange but adaptation is a change in an organism's ability to live successfully in an environment changing all the while, coping with all the stress and pressures of life on the edge of existence. Dial 1-800-C-DARWIN!

Structural adaptations are special body parts of an organism that help it to survive in it's natural habitat, which is one of the reasons I grew a dorsal fin. Behavioral adaptations are a special way an organism behaves to survive in it's natural habitat, which is precisely why I don't flaunt that dorsal fin. Keep in mind the underlying basis for adaptation did not arise as a consequence of the environment, but rather, as it was a pre existing condition, something your insurance wants no part of. Organisms that are not suitably adapted to their environment will either move or die out. Charlie Kaufaman writes the way he lives which gives and lends credence to clearance.

There are a million ways this thing could end...
Well thanks for tuning back in to Name that Film!!! Last week was a much needed week off and that nuisance called work was wearing me out mentally (along with the 100+ degree weather). Anyway, my pahtna Blood came up with a wonderful idea and intro this week and inspired me to get back on the bike and start peddling.

Blood-N-Bolts Productions truly hopes you enjoy this weeks edition of
Name That Film!

Directions: In case you are new, here is what you do. Just read the movie quotes below and name the movie they came from. Check back later to see if you were right and watch the clip from the movie where the quote came from! Remember, all of this weeks quotes come from movies that were adapted from books.

Good luck!

1. "Do you know, I don't think there is a single piece of meat in this stew?"

2. "You're out Tom."

3. "Thee pounds what sir? Certainly not sir!"

4. "Take the ball...Jump up and put her in the basket!"

5. "A written letter, trying to explain things, in case you are captured."

6. "They'll never rest until they spoil the earth."

7. "Well, I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted. If I could hit 'em."

8. "It doesn't matter if you whip us. You'll still be where you were before, the bottom."

9. "Are you truly prepared to be despised within the department?"

10. "Quite and experience living in fear isn't it? That's what it is being a slave."

Let's see those answers! I will check in throughout tonight and tomorrow to let you know how you are doing. Thanks again to Blood and to all of those who test their movie knowledge. Remember to check out the Blood Blog and see more of blood's truly inspired work. See you next week for our next edition of Name That Film!!!

Name that Film: klvalus Edition! Animal Movies

Blood-N-Bolts Productions would like to welcome you to the first time that Name that Film has ever been on Blogspot.com, and Blogspot.com alone. There is a link to this site on our previous home (foxsports.com), but the switch is official and blogspot is our new home. So, on behalf of bloodredsox and myself (Bolt Backer 21) welcome, and we hope you enjoy the game. This week's edition was brought to you by Klvalus, who suggested horse movies last week. We expanded her idea to movies about, or featuring animals. We hope she does not mind that we took poetic liscence with her idea. Now, here is blood with our intro to this week's edition!


Home, home on the range. You may find this strange but under the sea a horse dreamer, in a dramatic spiral, perhaps the family's black sheep, engages the bashful bachelor (born to the saddle) and a beautiful ebony horse. This holds more value than a meeting of the minds in an octopus's garden...even in the shade! Either way, animals, as created, have it made. Even snakes on a plain or a train can't explain the ways of the wind. Where would they begin? Bark is worse than bite and it's raining cats and dogs out here, plus the passing smells are ripe and rancid. You ken come up on foul stench like a sitting duck...pure luck.

Now, stop monkeying around! Whattaya doing now? O fer Captain's sake, getta doggy-bag! This aint beauty and the beast...at least show taste...save some face...life may begin at conception but it does not typically end in execution, even amid the age old herding of the cow; one must always bee ready for battle; however slight.

Nemo took Flipper to free Willy exclaiming, "Come all ye big fish. Don't be a jackass you scaredy cats! You'll be worm feed 'fore you know it. Haven't you heard of that cat, Darwin?"


How long you think this can stand under natural law and the process of selection? Man as an animal should be on a very short leash. The solemn finality in the final bull's eye exhausts every possibility...into restless...contemplation...I sure could use a cat nap but how long would that last in the long run, and would the rest prove adequate? This may be the straw that broke the camel's back-feeling like a big fish in a little pond under the watch of a hawk. Both sides of any fruitless discussion end up bartering more than intentioned bald as coots (who it turns out aren't bald at all and never able to let sleeping dogs lie). Keep it up and someones gonna be sleeping with the fishes: sick as dawgs!

The tao of Pooh and Scooby Doo says foo but how 'bout Nature's moods of many mockery?

Here and now: does fine weather lay a heavier weight on the mind and hearts of the depressed and tormented than a really bad day of dark rain sniveling continuously where the red fern grows? Who knows what hold's value like the stars blazing in the sky. This may be a real boar but we could give universal thought a try? Age has always paid the high price to maturity and belief in a supernatural source of evil is completely unnecessary; man alone as an animal is quite capable.

Danger men working


Never-mind when gathered in assembly, are generally found to be a boisterous barrel of monkey's completely capable of the lion's share of destruction depending on what side of the hedge you've come to look out from...some have even been led to believe they are the cat's meow and can do as they please. Sly fox...you feeling silly? Drunk as a skunk? A first place finish at the Prix de Chantilly, France's biggest horse race? A bestial hootenanny could get lusty flesh hoodwinked into hopeful carnal; it's dog eat dog, Dog. The only thing that rules to be real is to steal but a few free glances at the passing masses where the wild things are wishing upon a star, though it is too late to close the stable door once the horse has trotted.

It can be spotted miles away...you ken pick up on the scent and follow it. The early bird gets the worm and curiosity has so often killed the cat that it doesn't pay to count your chickens before they hatch. Aint no thing but a chicken wing so sing a simple song instead. Less regrets. You know how we know? A little birdie told the Film Edition and we're getting goose bumps juss thinking 'bout it...we have the memory of an elephant and an elephant never forgets!

Take a look at Jaws: a faire is a veritable smorgasbord long after the people have gone. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. 40 days and nights held under the neon glow of bright lights and big city and you can't tell me you're not exhausted? Kills two birds with one stone and takes the bull by the horns because a bird in hand is much better than two in who know what's bush?

Brother bear, stand clear, we are born free and man by nature is more than a political animal. Lion, tigers and bears, o my! Let's take a moment to recognize the salt of the earth who truly comprehend the rites of endowment and therefore tread lightly burning brightly (the clergy of honor bestows the memory of expression rightly). I don't know how to feel about you others...so....for lack of a better term...bug off! You will not super-size nor fry me on the open market grill with that kinda spiel.

Speaking of such a right, to you, with no further ado or horseplay...it is all hogwash! A strike for liberty does not have to be ruined and perpetually racing downhill on an old warhorse, of course, a horse doesn't havta be!

The less on in the rabbit and the hare can't compare to the fun in Run Rabbit Run. Cat gut your tongue? Because of Winn Dixie there are about 101 million more dog movies then there really has to be, yet there is Benji and A Boy and His Dog and Old Yeller sure was a swell feller...aint seen nuttin like 'em but for a few.

Warriors come out to play-he-ay! If I...were...KING...of...the FOREEEST: we could walk and talk in peace listening to Coltrane buzz in the courtyard. I would hogtie this pigsty for the price of peanuts and pass out hors d'oevrs like they was the ashes of __________________. Papa may have been a rollin stone but he is not alone.

(Complications arise from the blue grass of Kentucky to the seven seas and beyond.)

A world class horse whisperer courts a young jockey and convinces him to be all he ken be. Simultaneously, a horse trainer tames and trains the infamous blue fire lady, developing genuine rapport with the likes of Gordy and Garfield, who are content in viewing the great mouse detective over and over with ants intheir pants and happy feet.

Idn't that sweet?

Attention King Kong and all cat people....those among the natural kingdom are all created equal. All dogs go to heaven and he who lies rises with fleas. Now wolf down that gruel and git going cuz we homeward bound now and you gotta do some work! Something sure smells fishy. I tink I smell a rat. There's nuttin quite like the sound of non-judgmental crossing 'round these parts and no such thing as animal tasting or testing, no matter the warrant or pedigree. That type of activity juss will not be tolerated in this here Animal Kingdom.

Hakuna Matata. What is good for the goose is not always good for the gander. We mean know slander...


Alright, now that you have had some time to get on the same wave length as B&B Productions, let's get on with our game! Remember, we are looking for animal movies! Good luck

Directions: Read the quote below and tell us what movie it came from. Simple huh? We'll see.

By the way, we reserve the right to stretch the definition of the word "animal" for our purposes. Animal, mammal, insect, fowl, rodents, etc... you get the idea.

1. "You know, that was the time I was the most frightened."

2. "What does it feel like to be in love with a horse?"

3. "That's fine. But what happens when she unties the gate and lets the other horses out?"

4. "Frederick, I am beginning to see spots."

5. "Tear it, tear it, tear it!"

6. "George, if I could have a word with you before the Carson show calls?"

7. "You don't throw a whole life away, just because it's banged up a little bit."

8. "You're not as smart as Stewart, but you're the only girl in town."

9. "If God ever wanted to be a fish, he'd be a whale."

10. "We've got to do something about that duck."

As Porky Pig would say, "That's all folks!" Now, let's see those answers! We hope you enjoyed this week's edition of Name that Film. Thanks again to Kristen for her suggestion. Want to have an edition named after you? Just help us out with a new idea to use and you are in!

As always, thanks to bloodredsox for his wonderful intro!

Thanks for playing and we'll see you next week!

Name that Film: Sports Edition


Hi everyone and welcome to this week's edition of Name that Film! This is the internet game where I say the lines, and you name the movie! Sounds easy enough, let's see how you do!
This week, all films are sports related! Therefore, every quote you read will be from a different sports movie.
Directions: Read the following quotes and name the film it came from. Simple as that! Just leave your answers in the comments section and I will let you know if you were right. If you are correct, I will add a link to the clip containing your quote in the comment section.
Warning: Some of the clips may contain adult language. It is up to you to decide if you want to hear such language. If not, don't click. Again, simple as that!

FYI: This game has been played on my Foxsports.com blog for over a year now and has been very fun to do. On Fox, my partner bloodredsox and I have a more elaborate edition, but the quotes are the same.

Okay, enough delay. Let's get begin playing Name that Film! Sports Edtion!!

1. "That's Buckingham Palace. If you plan on living there, you're going to have to marry the Queen."

2. "You can't buy what I'm gonna give you. I mean, I've got pain. I've got experience."
3. "How's an old fart like me supposed to keep up with a dedicated young Christian stud like Harding? It's discouraging."

4. "Did I ask for your excuses? If you're gonna act like a star, you're gonna have to give me a star effort."

5. "You're too stupid to even catch the ball."

6. "I know an 11 year old girl who is already on the pill!"

7. "Tempo is everything, perfection is unabtainable."

8. "Take it easy, you're as tight as a drum."

9. "Dave's a mess."

10. "They buy those for the gum."


Alrighty then, let's see those answers! Some are easy and some are hard. Last week 9 or 10 quotes were answered correctly by the foxsports bloggers. Let's try to get all 10 this week. Funny thing about last week was that the last two movie quotes left were the only sports related movies on the list. Hmmm, I'm not sayin'...

Thanks for playing and we hope to see you next week. Keep those ideas for new editions coming. We can use all the help we can get.
