uncompromisingly guaranteed

Well, this one came to shore completely by accident – but it’ll be worth it.

I was down yonder on Youtube browsing for some 1940s songs, and in the “related videos” section the following “dating tutorial” came up, made by the boys down at Dice Productions.
Now this looks dandy.

I don’t know these fellas, but make no mistake – just because they make fun of the period, doesn’t mean they don’t love it. They sure did some homework to set it up.

Once again, it’s movie night… and it just might be your last one!

SHARP TEETH INVADING THE CAFÉ!

VERY, VERY THIRSTY FOR FRESH BLOOD!


FEARED BY ALL LIVING AND DEAD CREATURES!


IT’S BLOOD SUCKING BALDNESS!

HORROR TIME with Murnau’s classic Bram Stoker rendition of the legendary vampire tale, starring Max Schreck in his most famous role as Orlok, in tonight’s “Nosferatu” (1922).

Did you know that this flick was banned in Sweden
due to excessive horror?
The ban was finally lifted in 1972.

Enjoy it…while you can!

The Movie Game #2

November 18, 2009 - Leave a Response

Ok, I admit. Game #1 wasn’t that easy to start with.
However, and because of that, here’s an easy one today.

RULES
(not necessarily in the presented order)
i) guess the title of each of the 3 movies (identified with letters) and identify the actors;
ii)
associate each movie picture with the corresponding quote (identified with numbers);
iii) choose the correct end-of-quote [from a) to d)] for each phrase;
iv) comment below how long it took to reach an answer but keep your results to yourself (I’ll post the solution in a week);

v) have fun!
suggestion:
don’t go rushing to imdb.com -
- answer first, and then
compare your answers with the solution!

So, they found water on the Moon.
I wonder what’s next – maybe scotch on Mars?

A weekend is like a bottle
of your favourite drink…
…it hurts to let go.

You gotta love them ol’ big bands.

This one is so good I won’t even put up the usual links here. You do the diggin’ this time if you want; these players are very well worth it.

Some day they’ll go down together
And they’ll bury them side by side
To few it’ll be grief, to the law a relief
But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.

Bonnie Parker

That’s Bonnie Parker standing with a cigar.
Quote from the movie “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967)

The Fast And The Furious (1955)

The Fast And The Furious (1955)
It’s movie night! Today’s flick is “The Fast and The Furious (1955)
No, it’s no remake. Yes, it’s the ‘original’ one.
There’s the usual lines of the era, such as:

“…I hate you.”
“Just hate me all the way to Mexico.”

What can I say:

It’s tough!

It’s uncompromising!

It’s macho men with funny helmets!

The Movie Game #1

November 11, 2009 - 6 Responses

This is the first post of a (possible) series of weekly posts. The main point of the game will depend on each ‘edition’. This week the objective is to simply guess the movie.

I hope this becomes yet another way of introducing [or reminding of] some classic movies you might have forgotten by now - or that you’ve never seen. It’s also a helper for me, because I’ll be researching.

So for the first game, I chose one of my favourite obscure and realistic mob movies of all-time (one hint given already, and the second hint is easy - if you use basic operating system knowledge, that is!).

RULES
i)
try to guess the movie
ii) comment below how long it took to reach your answer
iii) keep your results to yourself – in a week I’ll reveal the title
iv) Note: just because I write “mob movies“, don’t start thinking only of “Godfather”, or Scorsese.
v) have fun


guess the flick!

One more thing:
I’d like to give an award to the fastest answer, like for instance getting to choose the next flick for any of the blog’s categories… but besides this, I’m out of ideas.
Any suggestions, just shoot!
