Friday (movie quote) edition: Wha’ Happened?
Posted on February 8th, 2008 – 8:11 AMBy Michael Rand
Some quick business, and we’re really curious about this: How many folks are pretty bummed that KG isn’t likely to play tonight? Also, a 1-minute introduction, followed by KG retreating to the locker room? Seems pretty strange, does it not? Could be a weird, weird night at Target Center. … Also, this Roger Clemens v. Brian McNamee business isn’t getting any less strange. Rummaging through our trash can wouldn’t produce such damning evidence, though it would indicate that we let plenty of good pineapple go to waste. Maybe that’s just as bad as taking steroids? In any event, this is Friday. We’re feeling light-hearted. So we wanted to drop a little movie quote quiz out there and see who can nail it down. Good luck …
1) Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is … maybe he didn’t.
2) Do you … enjoy… knives?
3) Yeah, and we’re not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe.
4) Consider that a divorce.
5) Where’s your other hand? … Between two pillows … Those aren’t pillows!
6) Don’t put it in your pocket, sir. Don’t put it in your pocket. It’s your lucky quarter.
7) You must be here to fix the cable. … Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here. … He fixes the cable?
Hitting bottom isn’t a weekend retreat. It’s not a [redacted] seminar. Stop trying to control everything and just let go!
9) I’ll be in the neighborhood later on, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get some frozen yogurt, or perhaps a whole meal of food, if that would be agreeable.
10) I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way drivers never look at the road in old movies.
Fasola-link! Hawaii chair. This is awesome.

Faso’s Hawaii chair will be standard bench equip. for every player in the Pro Bowl, and for the first time every player will be miked so viewers can get a good flavor of this exciting and hard fought game…Isolated examples of sound bites from last year’s game included a) how’s the family ? b) nice catch in that Ram game c) Ouch ! take it easy on me, willya and d) I wonder what coke costs on this island..
1) reco, dunno
2) no reco, dunno
3) bhc (2nd, right?)
4) no reco, dunno
5) p,t,&a
6) no reco, dunno, i suck at this. why am i even trying? what is this sudden desire i have to prove that i don’t know movie quotes? i am going back over my comment to decapitalize all of my “i”s now out of dis-self-respect.
7) tbl! yes, that’s 3! i am not allowed to talk about this.
9) os. i have a friend who named their son ‘cody blue’ because the proud papa wanted to say ‘you’re my boy, blue!’. this is a non-falsification.
10) crap, i know this … crap, i don’t.
proof, once again, that sports aren’t the only thing that i don’t know jack about.
Roughkat +7 if your answers are correct. I think I got 3 of those mostly because I’m not hung over.
jama - Most of my brain is filled with movie quotes. At home if I ever say anything witty the first thing my special lady friend asks is “What movie is that from?”. It’s pretty much all I got. Much like the dice thing on the dance floor.
I think John Goodman should have gotten the Academy Award for his portrayal of Walter Sobchak in the Big Lebowski.
skol - You bring up an excellent point. Some of the greatest movies our our time our comedies and yet every year the academy awards seems to forget about them. And yet the 36 Mafia have one. Where is the justice???
Right on!
I am glad that Joel and Ehtan Coen are finally getting the recognition that they deserve with their latest film.
Roughkat did you say that you seen No Country for Old Men?
skol - I did see it. I think Anton quickly moved into the top 5 list for best villains. Total bada$$. I wouldn’t want to meet him in a completely lit public place.
Q: Is using that air gun for cattle more or less cool than throwing a shoe or hat?
Q2: What would be the coolest and lamest articles of clothing to be used as a weapon?
28 days until Lebowski Fest
Far out, man. Far [redacted] out!
Can we make the movie quote quiz a Friday morning staple? I enjoyed it very much.
Agreed on the lack of a nomination for John Goodman in Lebowski. Unconscionable. Right up there with Val Kilmer in Tombstone.
I think making the movie qoute quiz a Friday staple is a wonderful idea.
That’s right, Val Kilmer should have won for Tombstone. “I’ll be your huckleberry”
Do you think Colin Covert will get pissed if we talk movies without him.
?
What is Lebowski fest Stensation?
Question: Do you guys really think “No Country” is one of the best movies you have seen in the last 5 years?
I might have to watch it again, I must have missed something. It was good but not great. I kind of think that this years movies were really lacking. I don’t know if I saw more than 3 movies that I even thought were above average. And one of those 3 was a Disney movie. Maybe my expectations are too high but the [redacted] that these Studios are putting out is really pissing me off.
Skol: It’s a twice-yearly gathering of Dude and Walter fans to discuss all things Lebowski.
This year’s Fests are in Chicago and Louisville.
Festivities include a viewing of the film at a sold-out theater, costume and trivia contests, live bands, bowling and downing a few White Russians.
Stu, I remember well Val Kilmer’s line in Tombstone, and also remember that sweaty near death look he had due to laudenum, that mix of opium and alcohol, popular back then during pre-treatment center dayz. I think that was Van Kilmer’s best role. He looked amazingly maniacal, a good quality to have in facing down the arrogant Ringo, only a decent drummer at best.
So Leboski fest is kind of like Rocky Horror Picture Show?
I have a question for you fellow film afficianados. What is the best movie filmed in Minnesota? I would have to say Simple Plan which was filmed in the wonderful town of Delano.
Yes - only it’s a two-day affair.
Actually, the bowling in Chicago sold out so quick they added a third day.
That Lebowski fest sounds really cool.
I’d be happy to make movie quotes a Friday staple. Good times.
Thank You RandBall.
Skol - Simple Plan was a great flick. Better than Fargo? Don’t know. I haven’t seen Sweet Land or Prairie Home Companion yet.
Trivia question (I don’t know the answer, that’s why I’m asking):
What romantic comedy about two U of M students, shot here in the ’70s or early ’80s, has the male lead hang gliding through the stained glass window of the Basilica? I’m blanking here…
All I can think of are the dogs filmed here. Feeling Minnesota and Drop Dead Gorgeous come to mind. Drop Dead Fred, anyone?
Fargo would be my favorite, I think.
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” a dog? Better not let my lady friend here you. She might fly down to AZ and open up a can. That happens to be her favorite movie.
Ramon: You’re welcome.
Mallrats: I have some nostalgia for how absolutely crappy the old Eden Prairie mall was.
Also, I can look at their new spruced up elevator and think that Silent Bob zip-lined off of that thing into a women’s dressing room. Outstanding!
Ramon, Prairie Home Companion has a simple plot. A self-righteous millionaire sues his neighbor over the size of her garage.
Plot twist: the millionaire speaks in a wholly affected airy and whimsical manner. In real life he sounds like he’s from Chicago. Originally called Fat Farce…
Beautiful Girls is also a good film that was filmed here, even if it was supposed to take place in Taxachusetts. A lolita Natalie Portman is just icing on the cake.
Stu, sorry for the late thanks, was away from the computer all day.
P3 - as long as there’s no Brett Favre cameos I’ll keep it in my queue.
Ramon the movie you are thinking of may be called That Was Then This Is Now with Emelio Estevez.
I could be wrong though.
