too many quuotes

So good.

R L Ermey has become so ubiquitous he's a parody of himself these days, but it was a brilliant move by Stanley Kubrick to cast his technical advisor in this role.

4.14 Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure-Classroom Scene-

I picked this one because A) it is a great movie and B) as per the judge's criteria, the auditorium works as a classroom scene because it is used as a place for learning. Afterall,I learned most of my historical facts from Bill and Ted

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I could probably wait on this one and draft it later, but I'll grab it now anyway. I love this movie and it really fits the criteria laid out by TU:

4.06 - The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - New York

The original with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw nit the Denzel/Travolta remake.

I'll add some links tomorrow morning.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, also known as The Taking of Pelham 123, is a 1974 American thriller film directed by Joseph Sargent, produced by Edgar J. Scherick, and starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam, and Héctor Elizondo. Peter Stone adapted the screenplay, from the novel of the same name by Morton Freedgood (under the pen name John Godey) about a group of criminals taking hostage for ransom the passengers of a busy New York City subway car.

It was remade in 1998 as a TV film and was again remade in 2009 as a film.

In New York City, four heavily armed men with code names (Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey, and Mr. Brown), wearing similar trenchcoat and mustache disguises, board at different station stops (Green at 59th Street, Grey at 51st Street, Brown at Grand Central, and finally Blue at 28th Street) on the Pelham 123 subway train run of the 6 Lexington Avenue Local service. The men take the train, securing a group of seventeen passengers whom they hold hostage, isolating them in one of the train's cars and then separating the car from the rest of the train.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Zachary Garber (Walter Matthau), a cynical and curmudgeonly yet light-hearted New York City Transit Authority police lieutenant, begins his day by leading four visiting Tokyo Metro directors on a tour of New York's subway command-center. This is interrupted by Blue's radio announcement to the command center that "your train has been taken." Blue (Robert Shaw), the English-accented leader of the hijackers, tells Garber they are demanding a ransom of one million dollars, to be delivered to them within one hour; otherwise they will kill one passenger per minute, starting when the hour has passed.

Folks, I know I'm in the hole but I've got a quick meeting to get to -- be back within 1/2?

This is sad when I am starting to become stumped in a few categories 4 rounds in. Skip me if Tim picks - have a horrible headache, so I will take a quick nap.

Also gotta ask - how good of a parent was Ms. Conner? Got herself locked up, wasn't around for her kid... Sure, she might be handy in a fight, but that kid's life kinda sucked.

She did plenty before she got locked up. Running around in places like Nicaragua and ####.

Plus, she thought ahead enough to have a cache of arms placed in a coffin where her body would have normally been.

All while fighting cancer.

It's not like she was making sure he got his homework done so he could go to college. Dude was supposed to save the world from the machine apocalypse. Not exactly your typical mom-duties.

Morning everyone. A few days ago I complained about the multiple roles category, and I've wondered ever since what I was going to do about it. My plan was, honestly, to punt until one of the last rounds and then select something cheesy- since nearly everything is cheesy I had as good a chance as anyone else.

Then- around 3 pm yesterday it hit me that there was a pick I hadn't considered, from a film I hadn't thought about in several years, and rather than being cheesy, it was a serious, superb acting job. So I am grabbing it up while the grabbing's good:

Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers- multiple performances

Don't know how many of you have seen this film- it was directed by David Cronenberg and came out in the late 80s. It was one of the creepiest films I think I have ever seen. Jeremy Irons stars as identical twin brothers who are gynecologists- the confident one, Elliot, seduces women and then hands them over to the weak one, Beverly, except that they don't tell the woman involved. Then Beverly starts to have strange visions of mutated women who will require scary looking gynecological instruments- and it gets weirder from there. What I remember is that it's an incredible acting job by Irons.

Here is a clip from early in the film:

Dude. Once Dr. Strangelove was taken, the only other thing I could come up with was "that one where Jeremy Irons plays murderous twin gynecologists". Had to look it up to get the name, but this was a great movie and a great performance and a great pick.

I will just get this category out of the way since I don't watch sports movies. Sure it's only a play or two, and you get cutbacks to all the individual reactions in the stands for effect, but who can't love seeing Rudy's last two plays:

4.16: Rudy finally gets to play (realistic/dramatic sports scene)

I cant believe this is still out there. I think I have a good one but it will probably earn lower scores due to Krista not being girly enough

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I guess AA has 15 minutes, then Val is up. Si?

At this point my mental list is shredded, so I'll just wing it when I come up.

I think I just said "extra points" for sacrifice. I don't really know what my criteria were and don't feel like looking them up. Take what you want. I think this is a good pick even though a bit sappy. And he gets extra points for the in the write-up.

 

[higgins]

I very well may move it to 1 of 2 different categories -- flexibility mandated this pick.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I would consider that a good courtroom scene as well.

It's always best for a judge to forget about criteria after you write it. Makes things more fun later on.

 

[hooter311]

"Girly" was like the last thing I was worried about in getting a good score from Krista.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

AA timed out, so here's Val's pick:

4.20 - Gone With the Wind - Long Take

This is the scene after the Battle of Atlanta where Scarlett is in the railroad yard.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Can someone take a PM for Val's next pick?

 

[timschochet]

I know the first 3 posts need updating, but it won't be until this afternoon, sorry.
