Movie Quotes

[Lance]

Guess based on post apocalyptic vibe and mention of sheriff - Walking Dead?

Yes, that's it.

And the movie quote was from "The Wizard of Oz".

Your go.

[Lianachan]

Person #1: Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren't wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this "soul" does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

Person #2: What was that about hats again?

[Heid the Ba]

Sounds like Douglas Adams. Hitchhiker's Guide?

[Lianachan]

It's good, but it's not right. There is an indirect (and I think, little known) connection between Douglas Adams and this though.

[Heid the Ba]

Is it a Cambridge connection? He would be about Monty Python in age.

[Lianachan]

It's Monty Python. I didn't know he appeared in some sketches, and co-wrote one.

[Heid the Ba]

Most likely contender would be "The meaning of life".

[Lianachan]

Most likely, and correct.

[Heid the Ba]

Protaganist: [Voiceover on his needing to find a group to protect him. He strips to the waist to lift weights so others will see his swastika tattoo] All the wrong people knew who I was anyways, so I figured I'm just gonna put up a flag.

[Lianachan]

Will let others answer that one, rather than indulge in gamehogsmanship.

[tubeswell]

Unlike Lianachan, I'm kind of confident that I've probably seen that in a movie before, but I can't pin it.

Is it something like Train-spotting? or more like Inglorious Bastards?

[Heid the Ba]

Neither, a bit like the former but I haven't seen the latter.

Crimey and underclassy US film.

[Мастер]

American History X

[Heid the Ba]

Correct.

[Мастер]

Edward Norton, describing his prison survival strategy.

Now, the new quote:

I'm wearing a cardboard belt!

[Lance]

Is the scene in a prison?

[Мастер]

Is the scene in a prison?

The one that I answered was. The new one was not.

[Lance]

Is the scene in a prison?

The one that I answered was. The new one was not.

Okay, that "there was a whole other page of posts" thing happened to me. I just saw American History X not long ago, which is why it seemed familiar. But cardboard belts? Haven't a clue.

[Мастер]

The cardboard belt comment is a lament made by someone whose station in life has fallen quite a bit, relative to what it once was.

[Мастер]

A film about stage plays.

[Heid the Ba]

The Producers? Who end up in prison don't they?

[Мастер]

The Producers? Who end up in prison don't they?

Correct. However, the scene is at the beginning, before they go to prison.

[Heid the Ba]

Well, I've sold myself for a couple of dykes.

[Lianachan]

I've only just realised that's your clue, and was not general conversation.

[Heid the Ba]

Yes "Well, I've sold myself for a couple of dykes." is the clue not an observation. A film set in Lunnin, init.
