SXSW! YAY!
Feb. 28th, 2008 05:01 pmWHOO-HOO! VICTORY IN OUR TIME! BRING ME THE FINEST MUFFINS AND BAGELS IN ALL THE LAND!
In other words, forget everything I said in this post. I have a SXSW wristband! I don't have to worry and/or pay $600 anymore! WOOT!

And on a completely unrelated note, the answer key to the unguessed movies from that meme:
Katie, who I made not guess here since she has the unfair advantage of being my twin and therefore attached to me at the brain, guessed:
1) "Throw one at me if you want, hash-head. I've got all five senses and I slept last night, that puts me six up on the lot of you."
Brick, which you should all see because it's AMAZING. It's a noir set in a high school! How awesome is that? The correct answer is, too awesome for you all to have not seen this movie.
6) "Where's my wandering parakeet?"
The Philadelphia Story, one of the many fabulous lines from the drunk!Jimmy Stewart sequence
15) "We're doomed!"
SHAME ON YOU ALL for not guessing this one, because it's C-3P0 in any of the Star Wars trilogy.
The other two were guessed by no one:
5) "Quelle est votre plus grande ambition dans la vie?" "Devenir immortel... et puis... mourir." ["What is your greatest ambition in life?" "To become immortal... and then die."]
I'm least surprised that no one guessed this. It's from a French New Wave film called À bout de souffle [Breathless], directed by Jean-Luc Godard and written by him and François Truffaut. I love this line, which is spoken by a film director (played by a real French director, funnily enough).
14) "You said I'll have to live out of one suitcase. I'll bet yours isn't this small."
The magnificent Grace Kelly in Rear Window.
