You'll get the horns. (listening to: "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds)
Recognize that movie quote? I know someone who doesn't. In a titanic grudge match last night, the rival of which hasn't been seen since the Monitor and the Merrimac traded blows, My roommate was cast down amongst the mortals while I was lifted from the throes of lesser beings onto Olympus itself. Perhaps you've heard of the game "Scene It?" It's a DVD board game about movie trivia. While I don't own THAT many movies (Halsey), and certainly much fewer than Nate, if you ask certain people, There are two things I'm good at, and movie quotes are the other one.
Still, Nate in his hubris decided to challenge me in this most holy of arenas. Admittedly, he soundly won the first game. However, the second game was mine in a last-second recognition of that stupid little dog from the movie Legally Blonde, and the final (much closer) game was won by knowing who's Oscar acceptance speech contained the oft-mocked phrase, "You like me! You really like me!"
[side note: I actually almost completely impressed my roommate on a prior question, which would have won the game outright. Given the movie, name the siblings in it. The first film was Grosse Pointe Blank. Easy - Cusacks. Next. The Fabulous Baker Boys. Took me a bit longer, but I finally remembered the other Bridges brother. Hit me for the last. Men at Work. Crap. A movie I haven't seen. Stupid Estevez and Sheen.]
Nate, I hereby offer you the comments section for your supplication. Appease the gods and renounce your superiority, and I may offer mercy. Rebuke this offer, and face the wrath of one who is better than you. The choice is yours. We await your decision.
END TRANSMISSION...

Yes, you beat me. All three games were very close, though.
AND...of course I know hwere that quote came from!! If you remember correctly, the question with the answer of "Breakfast Club" was one about a picture with the actors missing. Then later, it was about the slogan of the movie. At no time was the question about that REALLY EASY quote. If you are gonna brag like a cock, get your bragging rights straight ;)
ALSO...I never claimed to be the best ever at the game. I have only played it a handful of times because people THINK I will be really good at it because of my vast (and far superior to yours) movie collection. So, your accusation of hubris is also unwaranted.
HAH! Take that!!
P.S.- I was still impressed you knew that siblings in Fabulous Baker Boys. You got me on that one.
Men at Work was teh sex. I can see your confusion, though - "Sheen" isn't Mexican sounding at all.
I still can't believe that you beat him. Once there were about 8 of us and we were playing Scene-It. It became very clear right away that Nate had much more knowledge of movies than we did. So we played one game of 4 on 4 and then we played 7 on 1. I am pretty sure that Nate still won.
Ha ha...I remember that. Yup, I still won. However, Nicholas has a very good movie brain as well. It was fun playing with someone who had a ton of knowledge.
you have a roommate now? did you move? where did you move to? you never said anything.
Towanda, Jabas.
