Would have been you to have done just that

To cause confusion? Yes. :ninja But in that case it could have turned into a real mess if there had been a dispute and I like to avoid messes.

OK, here are the quotes with their correct answers:

• Many times I'd felt alone, but until this afternoon I'd never felt completely lonely. – John Dunbar, Dances With Wolves
• I know now why you cry but it’s something I can never do. – the Terminator, T2: Judgement Day
• I’m sure we can find something I have that you need – Max, Mission: Impossible
• We are men of action. Lies do not become us. – Westley, The Princess Bride
• Welcome to the Statue of Liberty. The statue was a gift from French citizens, and has come to symbolize hope for naked women everywhere. – Stan, the tour guide, Splash​
• The garbage chute was a wonderful idea. What an incredible smell you've discovered. – Han Solo, Star Wars: A New Hope​
• Yes, there it is! Why is it there?... It's much larger up close. – Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
• It's okay, I wouldn't remember me either. – Lestern Burnham, American Beauty
• If I should return, think better of me, Father. – Faramir, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
• You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling. – Eames, Inception

Several of you correctly identified the Star Wars quote but didn't specify which one. HK sent me her answers in 6 minutes and was the fastest but Boomerang wasn't far behind at 7 minutes.

So, good job Boomie! :clap Everyone can now send in their votes in the next 24 hours. You can vote for anyone but Boomerang.

As far as I can tell, I missed "The Pirates of the Caribbean". :nod:

Congrats, Boomie Girl! :clap

Not to be anything but nitpicky, and it doesn't change the outcome of the challenge, but the Star Wars quote was from the orginal Star Wars film. It was simply called "Star Wars." The "New Hope" part was only added years later when they repackaged the whole series.

I assumed that those who answered with just "Star Wars" meant the original one. But since there are 6 Star Wars movies I felt the need to be specific and indicated this in the original challenge. I can't read minds. I can assume I know what someone's intentions are but in this case assumptions can lead to unnecessary messes.

Understood, but "Star Wars" IS specific, technically. As many times as I've seen that movie (50?) including the 2nd day of it's release in 1977... I have never once heard the original referred to as anything OTHER than simply Star Wars, until your last challenge. I had to Google it to that it even HAD another name.

 

[Tangerine]

And yes, I'm a geek for Star Wars. At least the first three. The others were all "meh" IMO

You were still too slow.

 

[Maulds]

I wanted to use "Come with me if you want to live." except that quote was in both Terminators and I wanted to avoid confusion.

That line is used in all 4 Terminator films

I've only seen the first two. :ninja But in that case it could have been potential mayhem. :ninja

I think I may report this post since you insist on bullying me.:nuts:

Goddamn I thought it was weird that I managed to put Princess Bride twice, I thought you were trying to throw us off

Expecting a trick question which wasn't a trick question but turned out to be a trick question because you expected a trick question? :cool

 

[HK]

I think I managed to google the same quote twice, and then think 'what, it's the same for these two? okay!'

What's even weirder is, I think I have a memory of seeing the words mission impossible at some point. So how the hell did I get from that to it being the Princess Bride?

Saving Buttercup was an impossible mission because Westley died but he managed to come back to life and achieved it anyway? :dunno

As for the next challenge, I was wondering if we could arrange a time when everyone left playing can be online? I know two of you are UK but both of you tend to keep odd hours so maybe it can work. If not, I'll come up with a different challenge.

 

[HK]

Haha okay well I'm guessing the best time is going to be very late evening for me, since this tends to be early-to-late evening for everyone else? I am cool with that, but it can't be tonight, I'm staying at a friends house. Pretty sure I have no other plans though so Friday night, Saturday or Sunday all work for me.

 

[Boomerang]

I can do most afternoons after5:30 until bout 9. Tonight I may be going o the kids band concert at school though. But then hubbub is supposed to come home tomorrow night. If everyone else can do it though, go ahead with it. I will try o make it.

 

[Siphorous]

Tonight I could do but Friday and Saturday I'll be in and out regarding being on the forum as I'll be round a friends house. As Boomie says though, if a certain day/time fits most people, go for that one.

 

[freakofnature]

Players are more than welcome to skip out on a challenge too. You don't have to compete in them. It depends on how secure you think you are in this game. :ninja
