Author Topic: The Film-Tech official movie quote game COMMENTS David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-03-2002 11:09 AM                        --"I want to see your license, Jack!" --"I have no license. My name is NOT Jack." I spent a lot of time researching that quote. No, really, I did. I narrowed it down to 2 possibilities. If I guess it correctly, do I get the points? I'll take the usual deduction if I'm wrong.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-03-2002 01:29 PM                     Brad -- Yep, that's more than fair, given I didn't notice it until the game progressed much too far. (Been busy at work trying to fix a sad booth ) Actually, the quote was from "Howard The Duck" In one of the many scenes that could have been cut to make the movie shorter and less monotonous (sp?), the Dark Overlord had kidnapped Beverly in a semi-truck and was approaching a "Smog Inspection" emissions testing roadblock thingy. Getting impatient with the mortals, he proceeds to push the other cars out of the way with the truck, which prompts a police officer to approach him: "I wanna see your license, Jack!" "I have no license. My name is NOT Jack." **KAZZZAMMMM!** he takes out the officer and eventually all of the cars in his way with crazy whiz-bang 1986 effects courtesy of Industrial Light and Magic. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 12-09-2002 10:21 PM                     Sorry all, the original quote was from 1970's Airport, I edited my post to a more recent cinematic journey  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

I mean we all remember "May the force be with you!" but it's pretty unlikely that anyone is going to remember something like "So I drove out to Long Island, way out.", let alone remember the specific movie. (I'm not picking on Daryl C. W.; in fact now he'll probably tell us he DID recall that quote from memory. ) So where are most of the quotes coming from? Has to be online. As an Xmas gift to everyone , I'll happily tell you where I'm getting most of my "stumpers" (I don't think it will help anyone identify my quotes; of course if other people start doing this too when they have a shot, the tables will be turned). I go to Yahoo's weekly list of the current top movies at the box office (has 88 films on it this week). Most movies on the list have links to downloadable trailers and sample clips. I play a clip, write down some line of dialog that stands out, and there you have it. Most of the films on the list are too new for a transcript of the dialog to be found online, so the quotes don't show up in search engines. Finding new quotes for the game using a search engine is useless, since anyone else should be able to quickly locate the same quote online too. Anyway I've tried to use quotes that stand out in some way, so if you've seen (or screened) that movie or its trailer, there's a chance you've been exposed to that line of dialog recently and you might remember it. I think someone got my "Frida" quote because he'd just screened the trailer. Now, if Brad had written the rules to say we're all on the honor system to use only quotes that we actually recall from memory (as opposed to quotes obtained from other sources), the game would be playing out a little differently... One other thing I've found when trying to figure out other people's quotes is you have to get creative with the search engines. Some quotes will be found verbatim. Some are taken from a written script where the dialog as written doesn't quite match what was spoken in the movie. So sometimes you have to search on strong keywords and ignore part of the quote. Some quotes have had misspelled or mis-understood words in them. One quote was something like "How do you want your steak, bitch?" I searched all over, figured that the words "steak" and "bitch" ought to make it an easy one, but I found nothing. Then I figured out it sounded kind of like a pun, so I searched on "How do you want your stake, bitch?" and bam, I found it right away. Also try different search engines. As good as Google is, I've had just as much luck identifying quotes using MSN Search. Sometimes you have to be very persistent though.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-26-2002 02:50 PM                     All my qoutes are either from movies I am screening, or DVD's I own.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-31-2002 01:57 AM                     Well, David has sent this in. Admittedly he said he went through this quickly so there may be a few errors here and there. Anyone want to double check his math?

(I'm not picking on Daryl C. W.; in fact now he'll probably tell us he DID recall that quote from memory. Well since you mentioned it... yes, I DID recall that quote from memory. I ran that trailer for what seemed like an eternity as the first one so I heard that one a bunch of times. Looking back I suppose it was a little obscure.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-31-2002 10:43 AM                        I'm good with the answers, but not tough enough with the questions (which is where the points are).  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-31-2002 12:21 PM                     Assuming two people don't "gang up" on you David and post alternating questions and answers in the last 12 hours of the game to defeat you, what shirt size do you want?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.
