Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K. ****

Okay, It won't let me post the author's last name, but it is the German word for "fat" or "thick"


Getting back to Samurai movies, what movie was Sergio Leone's "A Fistfull of Dollars" based on?

YOJIMBO!

sadly I had to rewrite Shakespeare in me sig since the 3 letter alternative for "arse" was ***'d out.

(EDIT: added quote)

Here's an easy one: What other Philip K. D##k story was recently turned into a movie?

Oh, man, I remember the movie, but I have never seen it. Was it Last Man Standing?

I can't think of the name of it. It was the one with Tom Cruise right?

Total Recall was also based on a PKD story.

You're on the right track, but he's done two movies recently based on famous author's works.

And they both had the same director, and neither did particularly well at the box office.

Minority Report, I believe is the movie. I thought of it on my way home from work.

You are correct! The other one was "War of the Worlds". Both directed by Steven Spielberg.

Okay, let's change gears a bit. John Carpenter got the idea for "Assault on Precinct 13" from which classic John Ford western?


Hint: It starred John Wayne

identify each person in the shot (by either thier really name or their characters name) and name the movie

Um.........what shot? You're Beatles Avatar? John, Paul, George, Ringo, "Hard day's night".

I didn't know about this :(

Tom Cruise ?!

MJy guess would be UBIK or A Scanner Darkly.

I really liked your Kurt Russell quote from "The Thing" better. And the hat he's got on in the pic was a hoot.

No, a very good guess, but incorrect. I will give you another hint:

A good part of the movie takes place in the jail.

Now that you mention it, I thought there was supposed to be a movie made from "A Scanner Darkly".....but I don't recall it ever being released.

Yup, Eli Wallach is correct.

Incidentally, the John Ford movie I was talking about earlier was Rio Bravo. Many years ago I saw an interview with John Carpenter and he said it was his inspiration for Assault on Precinct 13

OH, well, can't get them all right. If you'll all excuse me I've got kids and snakes to feed, bathe and clean up after. It's been fun though.

"smells like...........Victory.............(sigh)...............Some day this war is gonna end" Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (Robert Duval), frowns, and walks off.

Freaking trippy film...but I love that line...

"I love the smell of shaved aspen in the morning...smells like Snakes!...(sigh)...someday, I can buy more."

K, timing you all on this one:

"Father! The sleeper has awakened!"

Dune Directed by David Lynch

DUNE!

Awesome book
Weird movie (lynch)
then decent if not studio produced miniseries.

:P

(well p00 - and here i was on a lunch run!)

Cool movie, but (at the time anyway) I found Sting to be a curious choice for a role in it.

Yeah. Not as poorly cast as the new 007 but odd indeed.



New round?

http://www.madwag.com/UNSHARD/whamovie8.jpg

A great one..Better off dead..I want my 2 dollars!!!

You guys are too good. Grrrrrr.

Vengeance is mine next round - especially for you who tip the Samurai cart!!

Okay. Here's a quote. Name the move. Bonus points if you know which character said it:

“A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you’ve been drinking Jack and Coke all morning.”

Beautiful Girls...Michael Rappaport.


Incidentally, a movie with a bit of a lean towards pedophilia. Kinda creepy!

Did you cheat?

How dare you! :) I have seen that movie maaaany times.
