Fireball Game IX: Mixed Media

#1 Post by Pastor Fireball » Mon Nov 28, 2016 4:02 pm

For those who can't decide whether they want another movie game or another lyrics game... why not have both?

Identify the 37 movie titles in List A and the 40 song titles and artists in List B. (Ever other clue in List A is a quote.) Using one item from each list, form 50 pairs based on a Tangredi, or hidden principle, that you must discover for yourself. In List A, six items will be used twice, one item will be used three times, and one item will be used six times. In List B, three items will be used twice, one item will be used three times, and one item will be used six times. A couple of minor liberties are taken in the matches, but there shouldn't be anything too controversial.

LIST A - MOVIES

1. "Hi, I'm looking for Ray Finkle... and a clean pair of shorts."

2. This film was written by the second co-host of the game show that famously incorporated numerous pieces of classical music--including Beethoven's Ode to Joy as its opening theme.

3. "When I had my ulcers, I was farting razor blades."

4. Daring, Defiant, Brilliant, Stubborn, Gallant, Glory-Hungry, Cold, Compassionate, Idolized, Despised, War-Lover, War-Hater, Supreme Commander, Supreme Egotist, Husband, Father.

5. "Slut! She's a slut! Look at her! Slut!"

6. If you want to see Batman, Robocop, and Nick Fury in the same film, this will surely be your only opportunity.

7. "Yeah, the court ordered her to take anger management classes after she pummeled a customer for grabbin' her ass. He pressed charges, I gave her a raise. Cheers!"

8. Jennifer Lopez turned down the lead in this movie to do "Anaconda".

9. "I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

10. This 2003 film was loosely based on the most well-known play written by the younger brother of one of the United Kingdom's shortest serving Prime Ministers.

11. "You'll have bad times, but it'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to."

12. About a dozen films have been shot in the town of Cottage Grove, OR--current population of under 10,000. This one had to be shot there because the political nature of the film made it impossible to be shot in South Africa.

13. "Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie. Everything that goes into her mouth is a dick."

14. Two previous Oscar nominees--from "The Portrait of a Lady" and "Hester Street"--and two future Oscar nominees--from "Shakespeare in Love" and "The Sixth Sense"--couldn't save this romantic "comedy" from tanking at the box office.

15. "Most of these young girls today don't know their cooch from a hole in the wall. See, that's why I dress... and rest, 'cause love don't live here anymore."

16. The name of the submarine in this film translates to "octopus".

17. "It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you."

18. After one of his film projects was canceled, a writer/director reportedly got the inspiration for this movie when he visualized a woman throwing a chair into an open grave at a funeral.

19. "Say, Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plates, so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?"

20. Hated hated hated hated hated hated hated. (I know that I've used this clue before, but that's because this is the best movie clue ever.)

21. "Attention, shoppers. There's a Retail Rodeo special on aisle three. Liquid drain cleaner, two 12-ounce cans for $5.00. Liquid drain cleaner has churning power and it will churn right through your pipes. Ladies, you need female plumbing. Shove something clean and new up your filthy pipes. That's liquid drain cleaner on aisle three. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Retail Rodeo."

22. Though this film flopped in theaters, the teenage star of this film said of it: "No matter how many movies I make, not matter who I work with, [this] will always be something very dear to me. Everyone, everything from [this]--I'll treasure. In my heart, it has never ended and never will."

23. "Godd**n my eyes, and forget the color of my hair, but don't every call me 'dumb'. I got smarts up here I never used."

24. The most expensive film ever produced, either in whole or in part, by Finland. (Also the most famous film produced, either in whole or in part, by Finland.)

25. "You listen to me. If you ever so much as blink in her direction again, I can and will bury you so far in the ground that the heat from the earth's core will incinerate your sorry ass!"

26. Two years before it was featured in "The Matrix", a song called "Spybreak!" was featured in this less successful film.

27. "What would I do with your balls, were they mine? Would I hang them by their shorthairs from my long painted nails? And crack a grin as they dropped, splat splat, on the floor? No, I wouldn't do that with your balls, were they mine. But I'd put them instead in some sort of shrine. I'd fondle them daily, and keep them in line, and give them a licking from time to time. Yes, that's what I'd do with your balls, were they mine."

28. In 1996, writer Nik Cohn confessed that he totally made up everything that he wrote in the article that inspired this film.

29. "In a severe lightning storm, you wanna grab your ankles and stick your butt in the air."

30. Not only was this sports "comedy" film unrealistic, but the chimpanzee wasn't even a real chimpanzee. It was just a guy in a chimpanzee suit, with a mechanical chimpanzee head.

31. "This is a special song I'm going to sing with my dick in my hand. For you, honey."

32. This mature version of "Little Red Riding Hood" was the final film produced by Republic Pictures.

33. "There's, like, a thousand dollars in here. I feel like your pimp!"

34. Matthias Hues, one of the actors from this movie, announced in 2016 that a sequel is now in the developmental stages.

35. "You spend all your time here, right? Probably grab your naps curled up in the break room. Little occasional nookie with one of the interns in the closet. But I have a real life, and I'd appreciate it if you only call me down here when there's a real emergency. If one of my patients comes in carrying his own head, call me. If somebody comes in with a bicycle halfway up their ass, call me."

36. The first known use of the portmanteau "scuzzy" was in this film.

37. "You think there's cocaine in that pool?"

LIST B - SONG TITLES & ARTISTS

1. Get up in the morning, look in the mirror
I'm worn as her toothbrush hanging in the stand
My face ain't looking any younger
Now I can see love's taken her toll on me

2. And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"

3. Oh, the night is my world
City light, painted girl
In the day, nothing matters
It's the nighttime that flatters

4. Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

5. If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

6. Just one chance
And I will show you love
Like no other, two steps above
On your ladder, I'll be a peg
I want your loving
Please don't make me beg

7. You move it to the left, yeah
And you go for yourself
You move it to the right, yeah
If it takes all night
Now take it kinda slow
With a whole lot of soul
Don't move it too fast
Just make it last

8. Convincing eyes
Persuasive lips
The helpless heart
Just can't resist their power

9. It's like a diamond ring
It's a precious thing
And we never wanna lose it
It's like a favorite song
That we love to sing
Every time we hear the music

10. I've seen lots of pretty faces in a million different places
And it's hard for me to keep from doing wrong
'Cause you're the cutest and the sweetest, you always dress the neatest

11. I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies

12. We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

13. Well, this life tried to keep us apart
You keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me
Wrap your world around me

14. And as I hung up the phone
It occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

15. For once, I can't touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, someone like you
Would ever dream of makin' my dreams come true

16. I can't imagine doin' nothin but what I'm doin'
Just layin' 'round tangled up with you
We got our buzz on, sippin' on a little something
I need your lovin'

17. Rags, the sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

18. I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

19. God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o' clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days

20. I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

21. I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now
'Cause how many times do
I have to tell you darling, darling
I'm still in love with you now

22. I see your warm face with the soft mouth
But it speaks something else (else)
So I'll take my chances with the cast down
We can feel the air

23. In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Smell like I sound
I'm lost in the crowd

24. Well, I got good news
She's a real good liar
'Cause her backstage boogie
Set your pants on fire

25. If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good, I had to holler for help

26. The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you

27. You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

28. There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby
Tonight, yeah, baby
I got a reason that you should take me home tonight

29. Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm
And the days are young
Come get up, my baby

30. Get up off my back
Save a heart attack
Ain't nobody [title]
No matter what they say
No, it ain't that way
Ain't nobody [title]

31. [title], it keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
[title], I'll keep on searchin
Can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the [title]

32. Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't deal nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time

33. The endless beat, she's walking my way
Hear the music fade when she says
Are we getting too close? Do we dare to get closer?
The room is spinning as she whispers my name

34. When you wake up early in the morning
Feelin' sad like so many of us do
Hum a little soul, make life your goal
And surely something's got to come to you

35. Everybody's got a hunger
A hunger they can't resist
There's so much that you want
You deserve much more than this

36. You know that I needed you
You know that you meant the world to me
You know I had to have you
Now I'm gonna find somebody new

37. It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
And I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

38. Got your joker on the table
You've been told from time to time
I'll be willin', I'll be able
You could read between the lines

39. When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it's the end of paradise
But I know if the world just passed us by
Baby, I know you wouldn't have to cry

40. And then the jukebox plays
A song I used to know
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing so slow
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

Is this THE COMPANY OF WOLVES? The ad campaign for that made it look like the kind of fun horror movie my friends and I used to enjoy, so we went to see it and it wasn't horror, just horrible!

Coyote Ugly

8. Jennifer Lopez turned down the lead in this movie to do "Anaconda.”

Fools Rush In

9. "I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

Serenity

10. This 2003 film was loosely based on the most well-known play written by the younger brother of one of the United Kingdom's shortest serving Prime Ministers.

11. Good Will Hunting

12. About a dozen films have been shot in the town of Cottage Grove, OR--current population of under 10,000. This one had to be shot there because the political nature of the film made it impossible to be shot in South Africa.

19. Fargo
20. North

21. "Attention, shoppers. There's a Retail Rodeo special on aisle three. Liquid drain cleaner, two 12-ounce cans for $5.00. Liquid drain cleaner has churning power and it will churn right through your pipes. Ladies, you need female plumbing. Shove something clean and new up your filthy pipes. That's liquid drain cleaner on aisle three. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Retail Rodeo."

The Good Girl

22. Though this film flopped in theaters, the teenage star of this film said of it: "No matter how many movies I make, not matter who I work with, [this] will always be something very dear to me. Everyone, everything from [this]--I'll treasure. In my heart, it has never ended and never will."

Tilt

23. "Godd**n my eyes, and forget the color of my hair, but don't every call me 'dumb'. I got smarts up here I never used."

Thieves

24. The Angry Birds Movie

25. "You listen to me. If you ever so much as blink in her direction again, I can and will bury you so far in the ground that the heat from the earth's core will incinerate your sorry ass!"

Raising Helen

26. Two years before it was featured in "The Matrix", a song called "Spybreak!" was featured in this less successful film.

Playing God

27. "What would I do with your balls, were they mine? Would I hang them by their shorthairs from my long painted nails? And crack a grin as they dropped, splat splat, on the floor? No, I wouldn't do that with your balls, were they mine. But I'd put them instead in some sort of shrine. I'd fondle them daily, and keep them in line, and give them a licking from time to time. Yes, that's what I'd do with your balls, were they mine."

Breaking In

29. Twister

Blue Crush

34. Matthias Hues, one of the actors from this movie, announced in 2016 that a sequel is now in the developmental stages.

35. "You spend all your time here, right? Probably grab your naps curled up in the break room. Little occasional nookie with one of the interns in the closet. But I have a real life, and I'd appreciate it if you only call me down here when there's a real emergency. If one of my patients comes in carrying his own head, call me. If somebody comes in with a bicycle halfway up their ass, call me."

The Sweetest Thing. (I never would have remembered Nancy Pimental's name, much less known what movie she wrote, but at least I figured out which game show it was.)

Okay, several of the artists in List B had songs that shared their names with TV series. Let's see if we can find actors from movies in List A who were in those series. That would make this a real mixed media game.

5. 38 Special sang SECOND CHANCE
8. Fools Rush In featured Matthew Perry who was in a series called SECOND CHANCE

That's ONE.
