4: Grosse Point Blank

5... Wall Street?

[jazzfish]

#4: indeed. #5: alas, no.

[ndkid.livejournal.com]

8. Usual Suspects
11. Heat

I feel lame for the sense of not-quite-placed familiarity for the rest. I am shamed.

7. I got it! Fletch! Fletch! I feel somewhat less lame now! *happy dance*

[jazzfish]

*laugh* Congratulations on all three.

[mikailborg.livejournal.com]

Well, #6 is Labyrinth, and #10 is Tron :)

[jazzfish]

Rockin' the F&SF eighties, we are.

9: The Rock. Awesome movie, awesome soundtrack.

[jazzfish]

Indeed, on all counts.

[The line from "Heat" is possibly my favorite movie line of all time. I have a tendency to spout it out at even vaguely opportune moments.]

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

It sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm still pretty sure I haven't seen it. Perhaps I'll add it to my list of movies to see eventually. :)


However, right now, I think I'll put on The Rock soundtrack. :)

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

And as for your "gimme," I've never seen Heat. Or Fletch, as far as I remember.

[ndkid.livejournal.com]

But none involve *cows* with guns. Why won't Hollywood make *those* movies?

[sir-alf.livejournal.com]

5. The Crow. "But Chaos, Disorder, Anarchy... now thats Fun!"

9. The Rock. I love that sequence.

[jazzfish]

Best. Monologue. EVAR. "I want you all to look me in the eye and say ARE WE HAVIN' FUN OR WHAT?!?"

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

I knew #5 sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. I think I've only seen that movie once, twice max.

[fuzzyamy.livejournal.com]

#3 - I'm guessing Stand and Deliver?

[jazzfish]

'Fraid not. _Get Shorty_. [V.funny movie. The previous line is "I think I have Cesar and Ramon staple your tongue to your chin. What do you think?"]

heads. heads. heads. heads.

[beracjade.livejournal.com]

1. rozencrantz and guildenstern are dead.

Re: heads. heads. heads. heads.

[jazzfish]

Dingdingding! Which movie will, according to Amazon [so, take with several grains salt] be released on DVD in late March.

Every once in a while I look at your alien icon and expect the aliens to be cyan blue.

[jazzfish]

I think that was a one-time thing. Though if I knew [and had] Photoshop, I might try to reproduce it.

[vond.livejournal.com]

Is #3 from Get Shorty?

[jazzfish]

Indeed it is.

[anterus.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure enough of those involve guns.

[jazzfish]

Well, given that the guy in #2 is holding a shotgun under his chin, and #3, 5, and 8 are probably packing . . . :)

[And I'm giving you credit for #2 even though the comment has vanished into the æther.]

[anterus.livejournal.com]

I had to look it up. Is why I killed it. I was, however, intensely curious, as noone had gotten it, of all the 11.

[jazzfish]

Ah, okay. In that case, I decree that as punishment you shall find a copy and watch it. It's quite good; a lot more cerebral than most of John Carpenter's stuff.

[anterus.livejournal.com]

I see. Eventually. Maybe over spring break.
