In Other Words...

[Ricky]

I saw this on Hollywood Game Night and thought it was pretty cool, so I figured we could try it out here. It's a team game, so I'll modify the rules a little to make it more adaptable to the forum.

Basically, you're given a famous movie quote and the first one to buzz in has to get their teammates to say the line by paraphrasing it without using any of the original words (including prepositions and articles appearing in the title).

Instead, I figured we'll start with the scrambled quote and the first one to guess it wins and starts a new one, etc., etc.

For example:

"We're gonna need a bigger boat." (from Jaws) could be switched to:

"That person will require larger ship."

Got it?

Here's one to start us off:

"Remain elegant, Los Angeles."

[Still Servant]

Stay classy, San Diego. (Anchorman)

Good idea for a thread, Ricky. Hollywood Game night is a fun show.

[Ricky]

You got it, Mike! I figured that'd be an easy one.

[Still Servant]

So I guess it's my turn?

"Not one person should place an infant where two walls intersect."

I just wanted to say that I think it's best if we try to stick with somewhat famous movie quotes. Choosing quotes from obscure cult classic films doesn't seem like a great idea.

"No one puts, Baby in a corner". Dirty Dancing?

[Still Servant]

You are correct, sir.

[Merlin1958]

"Are we going to L.A or not"?

[Ricky]

I just wanted to say that I think it's best if we try to stick with somewhat famous movie quotes. Choosing quotes from obscure cult classic films doesn't seem like a great idea.

Agreed.

[Merlin1958]

Agreed.

And TV? Or did I just F*ck up? If I did, someone save the feather.

[Ricky]

Yeah, just movies. If you did a TV quote, feel free to do a do-over.

[Merlin1958]

"Living is a better vocation than dying"

[Shannon]

The line from Jaws is actually "You're gonna need a bigger boat." fyi :)

Fun game. No guesses on Bill's ...

[Girlystevedave]

"Living is a better vocation than dying"


Get busy living, or get busy dying ?

[Merlin1958]

"Living is a better vocation than dying"


Get busy living, or get busy dying ?

Nope

[stroppygoblin]

Live Long and Prosper - Star Trek(multiple) ?

[Merlin1958]

nope

Hint

The quote was in my sig for a long time

[Br!an]

It reminds me of "Dying ain't much of a living", but since the clue can't contain the same words as the answer it doesn't work.

[stroppygoblin]

pretty sure that was the Outlaw Josey Wales quote that Bill had...

[Ricky]

It reminds me of "Dying ain't much of a living", but since the clue can't contain the same words as the answer it doesn't work.

That's what I was thinking too.

[Merlin1958]

Yeah, that is it. Sorry I guess I mis-understood the rules, my bad. I think I'll stick to just guessing!!! LOL

[Still Servant]

"Don't take the weapon, grab the Italian Pastry."

[stroppygoblin]

"Leave the gun, take the Cannoli" - The Godfather

[Merlin1958]

"Leave the gun, take the Cannoli" - The Godfather

It was plural. There were multiple Cannolli's, hence the need to take them with them.

[stroppygoblin]

"Leave the gun, take the Cannoli" - The Godfather

It was plural. There were multiple Cannolli's, hence the need to take them with them.

:doh: I think you will find the plural of Cannoli is in fact... Cannoli :dance:

[Merlin1958]

Maybe so, but he says it with an "s" at the end. Now watch out for the kids when your backing out and let's go, I want to get to New York sometime this week. You know any good-a spots on the West side? LOL

[stroppygoblin]

Debatable - I just listened to it several times and it's difficult to tell. Tell yourself there's an 's' and you hear it. Assume no 's' and you don't.
whatever, still a damn good film :clap:

[fernandito]

Sooooo, who's next?

[Still Servant]

As an Italian, it's pretty much a rite of passage to watch The Godfather in my family. Every family member I've ever talked to says the quote without the "S". I still don't hear it either when I watch the clip back.

:orely:

[Girlystevedave]

Does Stroppygoblin get to ask a question now, or does he lose because there may or may not be a plural fucking form for cannoli? :lol:

[Ricky]

Yeah, he can go for it. :)

[fernandito]

Stroppy, go for it big guy!

[stroppygoblin]

Ok here's mine...

"One appears to have happened upon an amazing odour"

[Merlin1958]

You guys are freaking cracking me up with da Canolli's!!!


Is it from "Blazing Saddles", Simon?

[stroppygoblin]

Nope. (But that's one of my favourites too!)

'telegram for Mongo!!'

[Merlin1958]

Candy-gram!! LOL

"One appears to have happened upon an amazing odour"

:orely: ...

[Mattrick]

What a fantastic smell you've discovered! - Han Solo, A New Hope

[stroppygoblin]

Correct!! (I recall it was an 'incredible ' smell but that's close enough :) )

[Mattrick]

"You're looking at people's contributions, is the person watching this contributing too?"

[fernandito]

*bump

[Still Servant]

I feel like this one is on the tip of my fingers, but I can't grab it.

[Mattrick]

That's what she said.

[Mattrick]

Do we need a hint? I'll give another 'other words' from the same film.


"You're looking at people's contributions, is the person watching this contributing too?"

and

"A threat is unable to deploy big bombs without an ability to press things."

[fernandito]

Drawing a blank man.

[Odetta]

What a great game!
No clue on this one!

[Odetta]

Oh! Is it Starship Troopers?

"The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand" - Zim

[Odetta]

I really think I'm right... I'm going to go... If I am wrong I apologize!

"The best hoax Satan ever performed was making everyone believe that he was never there."

[Merlin1958]

I really think I'm right... I'm going to go... If I am wrong I apologize!

Oh crap!! It's Kevin Spacey, right? The "Usual Suspects"?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnGo6Qm0Wt8

Take the feather, Odetta. I guess, not pose.

[Odetta]

Good job!

Ok

"I figured I wouldn't have to do this again, but no one is giving me a choice!"

[Mattrick]

Godfather part 3? Everytime I'm out they pull me back in?

[Mattrick]

"You're looking at people's contributions, is the person watching this contributing too?"

This quote was "They're doing their part. ARE YOU?"

[Odetta]

Yes! I thought so!

And Godfather 3 is correct!

[fernandito]

Go for it, Matt.

[Mattrick]

"Tell me what object is inside that container?!?"


(may have cheated slightly, not sure)

[Merlin1958]

"Tell me what object is inside that container?!?"


(may have cheated slightly, not sure)

Ooh, I think I recognize that one as well. A hint?

[Jean]

What's in the box?

Se7en

[Jon]

"So what's in your pants, little boy? Uncle Johnny wants to know?"

-"Family Reunion 2008"

[Merlin1958]

What's in the box?

Se7en

I should have recognized that one quicker. Good job, Jean!!!

[Mattrick]

Jean got it. As per the rules of the game, is it considered using the same words if you separate a contraction? I couldn't figure out how to do 'What's in the box' without including 'what' or 'is' and there is a word between them so is that allowed?

[Jean]

yes, these questions always arise with these types of games. Or how about proper names, as in (since it is my turn) my example:

Dismiss this from your mind, James, we are in the ethnic enclave of this city.

[Merlin1958]

These are not the droids you are looking for. Star Wars?

[Jean]

No, my quotation is much better known, much more expected from bears, and is rendered almost verbatim (in as strict accordance with the rules as possible)

[Girlystevedave]

It's gotta be something like "Forget about it, Jimmy..." or something. :orely:

Right?
It has to. :lol:

[Jean]

yes, you're getting there! the first and third words are correct

[divemaster]

"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

[Jean]

obviously

I would say yes.

And just to clarify for the game in general: no words of the original quote should appear in the new one.

[divemaster]

"When comes the occasion to issue forth a projectile, you should go ahead and commence that activity. No point in discussing the matter."

Hmmmm, tougher than I thought. Hint:

The movie stars Clint Eastwood, but he didn't say the line.

"When comes the occasion to issue forth a projectile, you should go ahead and commence that activity. No point in discussing the matter."

Hmmmm, tougher than I thought. Hint:

I vaguely recognize it. Something like "when the shooting begins, best to just join in and not think about it"

Unforgiven?

[divemaster]

Nope!

[Merlin1958]

Nope!

Not even close on the line if not the movie?

[divemaster]

Nope!

:biggrin:

[Merlin1958]

Nope!

:biggrin:

You evil, evil man!! LOL

[Still Servant]

Is it Tuco from the Good, The Bad and the Ugly. "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

I love Eli Wallach in that film.

[Mattrick]

Tuco makes that film.

[divemaster]

Yes! That's the answer!

Thanks, Feev!

Once constructed, a man will present himself.

Field of Dreams.

[Still Servant]

Indeed. I thought I'd do a quote from a baseball movie in honor of opening day.

[Mattrick]

I notice you took the plural of 'they' and made it into a singular 'a man'.........PLAY THE GAME RIGHT GOSH! lol

With Baseball season starting up with the Blue Jays getting creamed by the Rays I might need to watch Bull Durham to get happy about baseball again :'(

Actually, the quote is one of the most often misquoted lines in cinema. Most people think the quote is, "If you build it, they will come." In actuality, the quote is, "If you build it, he will come." As we know, the he is referring to Kevin Costner's father.

Second best baseball movie ever made!!! The first, of course is "Pride of the Yankee's"!! Both are guaranteed tears at the end.

[EXPLORER]

interesting game.

[fernandito]

It's solely after all of our possessions have been vanished that myriad of opportunities present themselves.

Paradoxically, the littlest individual is able to alter what happens down the road.

I can reconstruct the quotation, but I have no idea what it is from

That was clever, Mike.

Lol! Good stuff Mike.

Character 1: Get out of the path, pipsqueak.
Character 2: Not unless someone of higher standing or accomplishment comes along.
Character 1: You're looking at him.

Might be tough, so here's a hint:

Must go way back for this one.

The movie in question stars a renowned cast and is a well-regarded remake of a famous silent film. Once you get the film, the quoted exchange should be evident.

Nope!

I know what it is, but can't quote it word for word without googling it. :lol:

[divemaster]

Well, I think that's fine. If you know the quote, go ahead and confirm the exact wording and post it!

[Girlystevedave]

The question marks are the ones I can't remember. :lol:

This game pisses me off. Everytime I come into this thread we're either waiting on one or it was just solved. Well, it's really the timing of my coming into the thread that pisses me off but whatever, I do what I want.

Really? Seemed fairly obvious to me and I suck at this game. In fact, you beat me to the answer. For the sake of moving things along I'd say you have the feather.

ok, didn't intend to kill the thread

the quotation was: "I have been offered a lot for my work, but never everything" (The Magnificent Seven)

the feather is up

[Mattrick]

"It is impossible for me to change direction to the port side."

[Jean]

I think the original quotation must be something like, "I can't turn left", but I don't know where it is from

[Mattrick]

You got the quote right Jean lol.
