balsamandashThat's totally the saying, right?
Answers to the movie quote guessing meme, including a couple of pitches for lesser-known movies:
1. "There is one question before you, and one answer is required." -- Exam. I am not sure if anyone else on here even knows this movie, but if you don't, and if "a job interview gone REALLY wrong, featuring psychological fuckery, riddles, and one-room minimal-cast setup" sounds interesting to you, you should poke me so I can properly pitch/warn. It is kind of my comfort movie and I love it
2. "Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things." -- The Fox and the Hound
3. "I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting." -- Practical Magic -- guessed bymisbegotten -- the first three here are basically my comfort movies. XD
4. "I've been called many things: the chaos in the story, the anarchy in your thoughts, but for you, John, I am the excuse you give when you cannot follow the rules." -- The Devil's Carnival. Also not sure who else knows it, but if you're interested in an experimental 45-minute musical featuring hellish carnivals and Aesop's fables by the people who did Repo the Genetic Opera, also poke me. (I know at least one person was, so.)
5. "Magic is really very simple, all you've got to do is want something and then let yourself have it." -- Halloweentown
6. "Can I do this, or will I look like some sort of gay superhero?" -- Jeffrey
7. "It's us. We're choosing who dies.*" -- Circle, which does not actually have quotes on IMDB so I had to pull one myself. (... I was gonna pitch this one too but it's. very navel-gazey. Interesting to me, but. ...basically if you're curious about any of these you haven't heard of assume I'd be happy to pitch them/warn for them if you ask? I like being the one to suggest things to people for once, I get stuff shoved at me way more often. XD)
8. "I don't believe I have to be loyal to one side or the other. I'm simply asking questions." -- Twelve Angry Men
9. "She's gone. And the present is trivia, which I scribble down as fucking notes." -- Memento -- guessed bytommx
10. "Today's news folks, today's late breaking, developing just across my desk news story is this: it's not the end of the world folks. It's just the end of the day." -- Pontypool
11. "Phone call from God. If it had been collect, that would have been daring!" -- Dead Poet's Society -- guessed bytommx
12. "That sounds like a confession to me. In fact the double negative has led to proof positive. I'm afraid you gave yourself away." -- Clue
13. "You could've done of ten thousand things, but in the end, you chose to protect people. You made that decision, and I find that very, very interesting." -- Unbreakable
14. "A toast before we go into battle. True love. In whatever shape or form it may come. May we all in our dotage be proud to say, "I was adored once too."" -- Four Weddings and a Funeral -- guessed bymisbegotten
15. "Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun." -- Nightmare Before Christmas -- guessed bybookblather
Aaaand now another meme! A music meme! This one yanked fromforests_of_fire. It is much more longterm, so let's see if this gets me to post a little more regularly.

Get up off my knees and just remember/That I am more than just somebody's puppet/I can find the cord and then I'll cut it/I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance

In other news, tonight we are dying my hair, or at least bleaching it to dye tomorrow, and I am getting back to work for the first time after this long, kinda fucked up month. It's not the best day ever, but it's better than the last couple. I really hope this continues, but I have to see my mother this weekend, so who knows.
