daneldorado Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie? No, not Dustin Hoffman. And the movie is more recent than "Tootsie." The character in question usually plays comedy. Here, he's playing it straight. Sort of. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 i don't know if i am allowed to jump in, but i am thinking it was Jim Carrey, from "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind." now i know it was nominated about 48 times for different things, but i don't think it was best picture. although it did win best screenplay. the only other thing i could think that it would be other than that is tom hanks in "cast away." but the whole inner monologue thing is kinda tricky.

daneldorado Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hmmm... No, it isn't Jim Carrey. And it isn't Tom Hanks. And the film in question was DEFINITELY nominated for Best Picture, as well as at least two other "major" Oscars. (By "major," I mean excluding cinematography, set design, that sort of thing.) Hint: The whole 'inner monologue' thing is not as tricky as you think. The speaker of the quote is repeating what he got from the person he is speaking to... and then adding his own two cents. Got it now? Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 holy moly!!!! duh, i just saw it. "little miss sunshine" steve carell....... when the son was writing about going with them...... at least i think that's it. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 holy moly!!!! duh, i just saw it. "little miss sunshine" steve carell....... YESS!! It's Steve Carell, playing it straight for once, in the current Best Picture nominee, "Little Miss Sunshine." Way to go, txrd999. Wonder what your name is?

bradtexasranger Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Welcome to the board and congrats! How it works is when you make a correct guess, you can then post a line of your own for others to guess........ so go for it :-) Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 okie dokie, hmmm i guessing it can be anything, so here we go, name the movie, and the screenwriter, "Do you hate them?" "No, but i seem to feel better when they're not around." Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 "Do you hate them?" "No, but i seem to feel better when they're not around." A hint: what you get with a drunk, two "sex symbols", and Rocky's brother. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 "Do you hate them?" "No, but i seem to feel better when they're not around." A hint: what you get with a drunk, two "sex symbols", and Rocky's brother. Oh, this has to be Mickey Rourke... from BARFLY (1987). The reference to "Rocky's brother" is Frank Stallone, brother of Sylvester. The screenwriter was Charles Bukowski, who also played a small role in the film.

daneldorado Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Okay then. What movie is this line from: "Honey, I've been for you ever since you walked in on me in my BVDs." If you guys don't figure this one out in -- at most -- ONE HOUR, I'll be ashamed of you. Cheers, Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Oh a good one "42nd street" 1933 i think it may have been dick powell saying it. karith Right! And you beat the deadline by plenty. I'm proud of you. Your turn, Karith. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 pressures on... although this may be to easy and i don't think i can stump you here goes nothin movie and who said it "i like to stick em in things" the character is replying to a question, when asked about something they are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 "here goes nothin movie and who said it "i like to stick em in things" I may be wrong... and please correct me, forum denizens, if I am wrong... but I think that quote is too short for anyone to identify. Quotes should be long enough to provide some context. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 oops your right sorry....still new to this okay... the character is replying to this question. "then what do you want with horns?" reply "i like to stick em in things" the speaker appeared in this movie along side an actor that they had previously worked with,( in one of thier most notable performances.) this person had also worked with the director on several other occasions. i hope this is not still to vague karith Link to post Share on other sites
norbell Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 hello karith semi wild guess. cary grant in 'bringing up baby'? norbell Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 norbel... good guess but no.... it was quite a bit later. another hint: the person in question is used to playing it "cool" and in this film is portraying a more naive character. Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 hint: it features the "the man with no eyes" boss.... and a "hunter" i hope this will help. Link to post Share on other sites
inglis Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 your clue makes me think of Cool Hand Luke the guard that wore the glasses and you never see his eyes Link to post Share on other sites
relax Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Was`nt that line in a film shown in the last few days??? I can`t remember... but it sounds so familar. And the person who asked the question kind of ignored the answer? Link to post Share on other sites
bradtexasranger Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Is it Cary Grant in Gunga Din? Link to post Share on other sites
txrd999 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 your clue makes me think of Cool Hand Luke the guard that wore the glasses and you never see his eyes ..... nice job:) You are correct that is who i am referring to....but it is his boss in "cool hand luke" that has a role in this film...(although he is not in this scene, he is a very important part of the plot) you are definitely on the right track.... i don't believe this movie has been on recently.... the answer was not really ignored...but they did immediately start talking over prices.... ask yourself prices for what? (refer back to previous posts) hint: there are 3 people in this scene.....one is known for getting "dirty" while "painting wagons" the person in question has previously worked with the director, and another actor that appears in this film. keep "cool" and the person asking the question is young in his career, but will go on to deal with "pretty women", teach a "princess" etiquette, and do lots and lots of television.
