We interrupt our travel programming...
...to give you the answers to that movie quiz.
Even though it was from last month.
Just in case anybody cares.
Here are the ones nobody guessed:
5. "Come no further, for death awaits you all...with big nasty pointy teeth." This is from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," people. You know, when the old guy is warning them not to cross that bridge? And the horrible monster turns out to be a bunny? Funny. This is funny, funny stuff. I realize I'm making it sound lame, but if you've seen the movie, then you know. Funny.
7. "We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about." "Best in Show." Christopher Guest mockumentaries = hilarious.
8. "The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever." OK, with all the English-majory types of people who read my blog, I really thought someone would get this. My husband the engineer read it and said: "Sounds like Oscar Wilde." And he is right! "The Importance of Being Earnest." The version of this with Reese Witherspoon and Rupert Everett is one of the few movie adaptations of a beloved book (or in this case, a play) that I thought did a marvelous, marvelous job. Love it.
11. "Maybe I could be a truck driver. You got the number of that truck-driving school? We might need that." Was I the only person who loved "Top Gun" as a kid? This is when Goose is despairing because Maverick (Tom Cruise back when he was more cute and less weird) is up to his usual antics, and Goose is afraid they are going to get kicked out of Top Gun. Poor Goose.
16. "All stories have an ending, you know." The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh. From the last "chapter" of the movie. Love the A.A. Milne book, and also the Disney movie. Classic.
And that's it! The rest of my selections you easily guessed. Give yourself a gold star if you got them right.

I should have known the winnie the pooh!
ya know... I thought Monty Python once, then dismissed it... guess that was silly of me! :)
You LIKED Best in Show! I thought it was TERRIBLE!!! LOL
We found Best in Show amusing because there was a television show on right about that time that was really about just that, and BiS wasn't too far from the truth about how weird some of those people are!
I can't BELIEVE I missed a Python quote. I'm going to have to turn in my gamer nerd card.
