Because I'm struggling to keep substantive content out of the blog...

I saw this meme over at Gwenda's, and at Ed's: name five movie quotes that pop immediately into your head. Mine aren't terribly deep or exotic.

  1. "You're a filthy liar." "I'm filthy -- period." Written on the Wind
  2. "It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily." Shanghai Express
  3. "By the time you read this letter, I may be dead." Letter from an Unknown Woman
  4. "Give me the cobra jewel!" Cobra Woman
  5. "I kiss him and all I feel is stubble. " Cecil B. DeMented

I'm surprised there aren't more MSTs in your list! Who am I to talk, I can't even name my quotes with total certainty.

1. Bueller? (obvious)

2. Hurry, Dyyyeana! (that annoying kid in the Captain Cody shorts)

3. I don't care. (that annoying kid in Time of the Apes)

4. I'm so sleepy I can barely keep awake. (Hercules Unchained (not sure))

5. One .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol, 2 boxes of ammunition, four days emergency field rations, one combination Russian phrase book and Bible, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, one prophylactic, three lipsticks, three pair nylon stockings. Shoot, a guy could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas will that stuff.

Not sure I got that last one exactly right. This trivia contest is why I know as much of that as I do (my team came in 5th of 40).

(I know this isn't the right way to propagate a meme. Sorry.)

That's OK: mi blog es su blog. Unless you incur my wrath, of course, in which case I will squash you like a bug! Mwuh-hahahahahahahahahahaha!

These stupid memes give you the illusion of communicating anything significant about yourself, without actually demanding you to say anything useful. I really ought to cut down to one a week, at most.

Nice list, BTW...

My MST3K quote (I don't even know if they ever did this movie) would be from Plan 9 From Outer Space: "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives."

I'll endeavor not to bring down that wrath!

As far as I know, they never MST'd Plan 9 out of respect.

I prefer Glen or Glenda to Plan 9, but either movie is more entertaining than most Hollywood fare is anymore.
