well, i was going to post a quote from The Fall of the House of Usher which i bought the other day, but you lot always moan when i do things like that ... so here's one from a film i bought at the same time:

"And that was somebody i love. You, i don't even like"

MoP

Argh, fuck, this quote is ringing so many bells I can't hear myself think... I know what the this was from, but I'll be damned if I can remember the name.
Other than that, I'll be kicking myself when someone gets it right, no doubt.

jzero

Why do I think that's Jack Nicholson in "Wolf"?

danr

dunno, it isn't.

you can have a clue in a bit

MoP

Err... shot in the dark... I keep imagining some guy saying this with a mafioso style manner...
Things to do in Denver when you're Dead?

danr

you're half right, it is a mafia type bloke saying it in a mafia bloke type manner

anyone fancy a bottle of coke?

(hint)

sundance

scarface?

MoP

You are killing me, Dan. I can remember the exact way it's said, but I can't remember who the hell said it, or in what. I was thinking it was Christopher Walken in that film, but no.

God damn my useless brain. I will probably smash something when someone gets this right, cos it sure as hell won't be me.

danr

if you are thinking of the right film, i'm sure the coke hint would have clinched it ...

oh, and it's got Arnie in it, uncredited.

sundance

around the world in 80 days?

danr

god no

someone else have a go, and you might get another clue

motives

uh, could it be the rundown? i dont recall the quote at all but it got arnold in it and kinda fits the other clues

danr

nope. If you'd seen the film you'd have got it from the clues so far ... so i'll have to go more general :

it links M.A.S.H to ... well, M.A.S.H. actually ...

sundance

welcome to the jungle

danr

no-one wants a go at this?

it's a modern-day (well, it was when it was made) adapatation of an older book featuring a well known character ... features Arnie (very briefly, and quietly), a bottle of coke, a mafia-type bloke, links to MASH ... oh, and it has a missing cat too.

it's also linked to a movie quoted in this game not too long ago.

come on, quick, before sundance offers up another guess of whatever random bollocks film happens to cross his mind at that moment in time ...

MoP

I just used cheaty methods to find out what it was... and I haven't ever actually seen that film. Someone must say the exact same line in a mafia-type manner in a different film... ah well.

usagi

m.a.s.h.? does that mean its catch 22?

i read but the book, but never saw the movie. there are some mafioso types in that, or one at least

sundance

hey, i was just guessing movies arnie had a cameo in that i could think of...

danr

and the race is on :

it's a Raymond Chandler

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... go!

TaylorMade

wow, don't all jump at once....
The Big sleep? I don't even know if that is a Raymond Chandler, but it sounds familiar.....

danr

not that one, no ...

motives

the long goodbye

MoP

That's the one I found on IMDb when I searched for Arnie's uncredited appearance, so I guess you're right

danr

he is yes

took bloody long enough though didn't it. Y'bunch of plebs

your go, mr motives

motives

hmm yea i suck, i thought about this one at first but then u threw in that cola hint wich i absolutely didnt remember from the movie. raymond chandler was a giveaway tho

danr

you don't remember Arnie's boss suddenly smashing a coke bottle into his girlfriend's face, just so he can say to Marlowe "And that was somebody i love. You, i don't even like"?

i don't think i'll forget that scene, ever

motives

yea, i remember the scene. just couldnt remember any cola :S

but granted it must have been like 5 years ago i watched that movie
