[identity profile] thethirdbar.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
is 4 from Clerks?

[identity profile] ellipsisblack.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)

3. is the Princess Bride, natch.

12. is Zoolander.

6, 7, and 8 I recognise, I just don't know from what. --;

LOL I give up on the meme, I don't watch many movies at all--I don't remember the last time I watched one in theaters. Maybe it was June of later year, dunno. However, I have DEFINITELY HEARD 3 SOMEWHERE, and now I'm wracking my brains. XD

You did all the fixing on your own, dear. All I did was answer with useful comments like, "Oh, yeah. That sounds good." :P

All you really need is to keep going. The story is made of All Things Excellent. Just remember that editing in the later drafts is totally what all the Kewl Kidz are doing.

2. Superbad. SUPERBAD.

12. ZOOLANDER. "I TURNED LEFT~!"

3. PRINCESS BRIDE\
6. LOTR:ROTK
7. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!
8. Velvet Goldmine
11. Star Wars (yoda, not sure which one though)

[identity profile] starfishdance.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
AWW I LOVE YOU TOO. ♥


asdfjkl; 8 is Velvet Goldmine, I know it's already been guessed like five kajillion times but I want to guess it anyway! :D
13 is The Godfather!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, I have added you!

Which obviously you already know, as we are chatting XP

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, they are all right!! Obviously you are super-clever!!

#4 is from Clerks. It's possibly my favourite conversation from a movie ever!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
YES, IT IS!!

Also, you have not replied to my other comment about whether or not you want a drabble.

AND ALSO #2, HELLO, HOW ARE YOU????

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, yes!! I tried to make them hard quotes, but clearly I FAILED!!!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
They are mostly fairly old movies, because I couldn't think of anything!!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
LOL, yes I am super clever and all that!! BUT I WAS TOTALLY STUCK AND DEPRESSED UNTIL I TALKED TO YOU!!! I don't know how much stuff I'll end up having to send to you and Laurie, but if I don't have very much, I'd like to maybe do some character work or something, if that's okay. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THOUGH!!

I think I just need to let myself relax and enjoy it again. For some reason I'm putting too much pressure on myself to be awesome.

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
YES!!!

Seriously, Zoolander is the funniest movie ever. Every time I watch it I find new things that amuse me. :D

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
YES!!! 11. is Empire Strikes Back, but I'll give it to you for saying Star Wars! <3

[identity profile] valkyrienova.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
1 is The Royal Tenenbaums!
2 is Superbad!
4 is Clerks!
6 is Return of the King!
7 is Bill and Ted... isn't it?
12 is Zoolander!
13 is The Godfather!
And is 15 Rocky? It's been such a long time since I've seen that movie...

You have great taste in movies!♥

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON SO FAR WHO HAS GUESSED THE GODFATHER!! CLEARLY YOU WIN THE PRIZE OF... AWESOMECAKES!!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
YES! They are all correct!! Clearly, you have awesome taste in movies as well!!! <3

[identity profile] sandy-phoenix.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Dearest, the awesome already exists. You have merely to get it down on paper and then weed out the less awesome stuff that tends to collect in piles around the awesome. No problem!

We can surely do some character work. It's fun and we'd be more than happy, as you know very well. *loveses*

[identity profile] senyum.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
10 is um. Chris Rock? One of the Rush Hour movies PERHAPS.

[identity profile] darlingfox.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
5 is The Breakfast Club, right?

OMG, this time I might know something! *g*

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
At the moment I think the awesome is locked in a little room inside the back of my brain AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE I PUT THE KEYS!!!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not Chris Rock or Rush Hour BUT YOU ARE VERY CLOSE!!!

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-09 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yay!! I couldn't believe nobody had picked that one yet!! Though, I did used to know this guy who randomly went around quoting lines from The Breakfast Club in a Jack Nicholson voice, so maybe it isn't as obvious to other people!!!

[identity profile] senyum.livejournal.com 2008-03-09 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
OH. Shanghai Knights! Wrong Jackie Chan movie xD

[identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com 2008-03-13 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!! Nice work!!
