It turns out I’m a complete movie nerd with seriously obscure tastes in cinema. Oh, well! Of the few (very few) people who tried the quiz, no one got 100%. So, I’ll save the prize for another time (unless someone has a compelling reason for me to award it to them.) So, for those of you who want to try again — here are the questions. For those of you who don’t — scroll down for the answers.
1 — “You gonna do somethin’ or just stand there and bleed?”
2 — “And tomorrow we come back and cut off your Johnson.”
3 — “Go away — or I shall taunt you a second time.”
4 — “You are a sad, strange, little man and you have my pity.”
5 — “Looking at the cake is like looking at the future. Until you’ve tasted it, what do you really know– and then, of course, it’s too late.
6 — “Shut up and deal.”
7 — “It’s always gonna be somethin’ with you, isn’t it Joe?”
8 — “You people! If there isn’t a movie about it, it’s not worth knowing– is it?”
9 — “I don’t know how to shut down a neutron reactor — and unless you took a Learning Annex course I don’t know about, I’m pretty sure you don’t know how to shut down a neutron reactor, either.”
10 — “Get off my lawn!”
11 — “It’s not the years; it’s the mileage.”

In hindsight, I really should have known #9. I love that movie! My favorite bit is when Tony Shalhoub’s character is getting friendly with the alien and the other character says, “Oh… that’s not right!”
Wait a minute. Joe vs The Volcano AND Galaxy Quest!!! Wow, were we related in a past life? How do you feel about Captain Ron?
That one slipped by me. I shall now put it in the queue. Thanks for the tip!
