Heres a new game we can play. I call it WHO SAID THAT !?
The game works like this : I write a "Quote" from a movie, game or even music lerics.
Your job is to tell me who said that and in which movie, song or game...
Beleive me this can get tricky, If you guess right then its your turn next to write a "quote"
Lets begin. ill start with an easy one...
"So what are you supose to be a lion tamer?"
Has this been approved?
Anyway:
Spoiler
Willie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Next: "I'll be back"
Spoiler
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terminator II
Did you just soil yourself?!
MAYBE :)
Spoiler
Austin powers Gold Member
"There's tha word again: heavy. Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?"
Spoiler
Back to the Future
"Some things in this world never change. But somethings do."
Spoiler
Matrix Reloaded.
"Amazing how you can do without the essentials of life so long as you have the luxuries"
This thread is out of place (it's in gen and it's an activity) plus hasn't been approved as an activity, plus is really unfair to those who have no access to the English versions of those films you're quoting.
Just my opinion.
And hey! I am back to AGS! :D
It was in
Competitions & Activities but got moved here, because it wasn't approved.
Also:
Spoiler
Paris P. Ogilvie, Pitch Black
"You're it, until you're dead or I find someone better."
Oh, I see... If it's not good enough for C&A it goes to gen gen... Cool! ;D
Spoiler
Jean Rasczak: Starship Troopers
Next: " My tongue I sometimes use to plug the lover I abuse"

No not authorised yet. I think the people are opening up to it.

It was moved here from there... And as far as unfair goes, I am sure the sentences in the foreign films say the
same things in a different langauge. Heck start your own thread but just remember this forum is the english ags forum.
Gee this last one is though No Idea Some clues ?
A bit off-topic but.. Here in Finland we have (this thing called reilu meininki and) the goodness of not dubbed movies. They're subtitled...
Timosity, I'm guessing -wildly - on Existenz?

Next: " My tongue I sometimes use to plug the lover I abuse"
I have no clue, but a quick Google search turned up a ton of really scary blogs... :o
I sort of put that one in to stop any chance of the game continuing.
I made sure by seaching in google and not being able to find it.
it's pretty obscure, and you'd only have a chance of getting it if you are Australian
It's a quote from a song "Where am I now?" from one of my favourite 90's bands "The Sharp"
Here's an easier one
"Who said That !?"
Quote from: Timosity on Thu 14/04/2005 07:35:20
"Who said That !?"
The seargeant, Full Metal Jacket?
NEXT: I didn't know they STACKED shit that high!
Quote from: Haddas on Thu 14/04/2005 11:39:18

That's my answer!
NEXT: "Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa!"
Thanks Fmarais, I am new here and I didn't realised this forums were using English as the only lenguaje. I will put more care the next time... ;)
Ok... stop sarcasm! :D
I think this game is quite stupid. I tried to tell it in polite maners, but it seems nobody has realised of the spirit of my complains. Anyway, I am not who to say what is stupid or not, if people just goes on playing, maybe it's not that stupid... People must be free to do what they want, while they do not bother the others, and I don't think nobody could be bothered by this.
But I keep that it is unfair to people who sees doubbed versions of the films. You say that the sense of the sentence/quote won't be altered with the translation... ha! I invite you to Spain! :)
Farlander, mate, calm down :) This game is just an innocent pastime, not good enough to take place in the competition forum, but not lousy enough to be yelled at like that!
If a thread is bad, it'll die out or be taken care of by a mod.

Princess Bride ;D
Now, for Farlander...
NEXT: Tú crees que en otros lagos las algas más verdes son
which I believe is a pretty close translation of "The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake"
Sebastian: The Little Mermaid.
Yay... I actually got one
Ok Here's an easy one (I think)
"Maybe I'll build her a cake or something"
Pedro: Napoleon Dynamite.
Next: "Ned, there is no such thing as adventure. There's no such thing as romance. There's only trouble and desire".
Hey people... I haven't said a word about locking this topic or something... I just see it as a silly game. I think my reply has been quite calmed! If not, have a bunch of smilies to calm the thing a little...
;) :D ;D :) 8)
And now, out of topic, but Petter, I love your new background at CL, but my internet connection made my attempts to post about it there, in CL, twice...
Cheers! :D
Edit by Andail: No worries, brother :) And I took care of that extra post btw.
Spain me go running after the bulls running after youz laughing myself into a stuper... :)
Quick get the cam corder.. no time to pack clothes.
I dont know I like general knowledge things so its kinda just a fun apst time and the members seem to like it too.
No offense taken Farlander, but yeah people tend to view things in their own ways. You think its stupid.. I like it.
Patatoe ; PatAtoe..
mmm nice gogle idea... Thats a lil bug... gota fix that.
"Ned, there is no such thing as adventure. There's no such thing as romance. There's only trouble and desire".
googled and got simple men (1992)
Next : "There is no time, for if the future is present and the present is past. Time cannot exist."
or something like that :) From a movie aswell.
Wouldn't Googling for the answer sort of ruin the fun in the game?
Just a thought.
Yeah it would but whos gona stop them? Insanity...
I qoute vince twelve:"I have no clue, but a quick Google search turned up a ton of really scary blogs"
So iam sure that the members are using google... Well knowledge is power.
Spoil it for all your selfs.
I don't think it's an idiotic game, like Farlander, but I have to say that if people are going to cheat, and like you said who'll stop them or even recognize it as cheating... well, let's just say it becomes very clear why this will never be an approved competition. And no fun either, might I add. Pity, because it was an interesting game, all told.
To quote Abe Simpson, "Oh, bitch, bitch, bitch." Googling ruins the spirit of the game, I agree, but c'mon. There hadn't been an answer in two days and it's not like I even gave an answer. The quote author himself admitted that he had only put that one in to stop the competition because he knew no one would get it.
Let's all settle down and enjoy a little harmless game of "Who said that?"
Back on topic: I'm stumped. Does anyone know the source of Fmrais'
Quote"There is no time, for if the future is present and the present is past. Time cannot exist."
or something like that :)
?
Fmrais:
St. Augustine.
(Maybe you heard it in "a movie" but it was he who said and invented this aphorism)
Now:
"Existence precedes essence".
truth be told I didnt put the exact speech form the movie because they will google it.
Yeah saw it in the movie of einstines life story... GOOD MOVIE liked it alot old though.
CAnt really remember the name so I think that it was Einstine.
Its true what you say Vince twelve its enjoyable so Yeah lets stop the moaning and whining and at least some of us
will enjoy it thanks.
Good one Gold mund, no idea and not going google it since this is based on our common knowledge.
Book XI of St. Augustine's "Confessions":
"Yet I say boldly that I know that if nothing passed away there would be no time past. And if nothing were coming, there would be no future time. And if there were nothing, there would be no present time. Those two times, then, past and future--how are they, when the past is no longer and the future is not yet? But should the present always be present and never pass into time past, truly it would not be time, but eternity."
"We even measure how much longer or shorter this time is than that; and we answer, 'This is double, or treble, while this other is but once, or only just as long as that.' But we measure times as they are passing, by perceiving them. But past times, which no longer are, or future times, which are not yet, who can measure? Unless, perhaps, anyone would dare to say that what is not can be measured. When, therefore, time is passing, it can be perceived and measured; but when it is past, it cannot, because it is not."
etc., etc.
Einstein could as well have said something similar - as St. Augustine is the Man when it comes to talking about time, but he lived oh, around 1600 years before Albert. :-)
Great, give Goldmund a movie quiz and he turns into some sort of literature seminar
Does Goldmund's answer stand, then? OK, he named the original source, but that wasn't what Fmarais meant, was it?
(Not that I have a clue what either of them are from, anyway)
