h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, i do listen to stuff before my time... but the main problem is, i usually listen to them on compilation CD's... so i never get to hear more than one or two songs by most bands.... and i can't afford to run out and buy loads of Albums...

OK, how about movie lines then?

You go first....

Okay.... Star Wars...., in the Death Star.... Bloke over the com to Han solo: (too much info?)

"What is your identification number?"

(what's han's reply?)

Of course, he blasts the intercom and shrugs....

"It was a boring conversation anyway.

Then turns and shouts down the prison gantry ...... "FILL IN THE BLANK"

"Luke, we're gonaa have company!"
Moving from the Star Wars theme....
ermm..... let me think....

Ahh yes... try this one....
Under Siege (Steven Seagal.. i think....)
In the kitchen.....
Young recruit goes...
"Hey! He just struck an officer!"
And SS's retort was.....?

So sorry, not a fan of Herr Segal...
In fact, I usually find some excuse not to watch when one of his films comes on the TV.

How about something from Star Trek II(?) - The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban....

"With my last breath I curse thee....."

Hmm...... I have seen that film....... but only a few times....
But i can see you like Sci Fi...... so er....
The Matrix: Neo dodges loadsa bullets..... Agent Smith is about to load a clip into his head.....
Trinity appears, and says???!!?!?!?!?!?

Ah, it's my greatest weakness.... recent films. My wife (with some help from me) has given birth to two children in the past five years, so our movie-going has been curtailed rather dramatically.

I heard The Matrix was rather good, and when the girls are a little older, we'll probably get the video (right now, our video collection is rather Disney-esque)!

How about something from the Action genre....Predator I.

Soldier to Jesse Ventura, "He man, you're bleeding!"

What is his reply?

This is a long shot.... but is it
"I was born to bleed"?
Thought not.... that must be another film.....
it's late here, so i can't think up another line... i'll get back to ya tomorow....

No, it's
"I ain't got time to bleed"

A rather silly movie, but it does contain lots of interesting military hardware!

ya wouldn't believe me, but i'll tell ya anyway... i was in school today, and that line suddenly came to me, and i hadn't looked at the forum, or seen the movie since... or anything.... can i still have the point? oh well..... it's true....
quote related question....
Which film other than Terminator, did Arnie say: "I'll be Back"?

True Lies...
But wasn't it in T2 and Commando as well?

Well... i was actually thinking of the running man... so he musta said it in more films than i realised.........

Good old Arnie....

Give him a line he can say without too much difficulty and it just keeps getting recycled! It must be great to be his script writer!

Easy money, I'd say.....
Why can't i even think of a film quote?......

I dunno, I'm kind of stumped myself! Must be a weekend thing!

Anway, have you and your posse checked out the Critique Fun Run at vegiman's place...
It's worth a look!

BTW, here's a shortcut for you to get there http://www.h2g2.com/P130852 .

If i ever get enough time to go through it i will definately have a look... it's on my priority list.. somewhere.... .

It's surprisingly quick! The articles in Fun Run 2 are short and a breeze to read.

And how about passing the word to the members of your posse?

Okay... I'll give it a go sometime.... soon.
Most of the posse are friends of vegiman... so they'll know already... but i'll pass it onwards anyway...
