I’m a movie freak. Not as much as some people, but I love movies. I love quoting movies. And I have an insane memory that allows me to have stupid thoughts that keep me up at nite. Growing up I watched the movie “Misundertood.” It starred Henry Thomas (”Elliot” from  E.T.), Gene  Hackman, and Huckleberry Fox. You may remember Huckleberry from the movie “Terms of Endearment.”

So stinkin’ cute…

What happened to him? And did y’all ever see that movie… “Misunderstood“?  I’m pretty sure it was a movie about a dysfuntional relationship between a single dad and his 2 boys…

And while we’re talking about movies that Henry Thomas was in… most people have seen “Cloak and Dagger” but have you seen “The Quest” (aka “Frog Dreaming”)? It was based in Australia…  That’s where I got my sweeet line “Probably your breath blowing back into your face.” (Must be said with an Australian accent.) Or have you seen him in “Raggedy Man” with Sissy Spacek and Eric Roberts?  That was a pretty good movie.

Anyway… I’m just rambling and trying to find out if I’m the only freak that wonders about things like “Whatever happened to Huckleberry Fox???”

Oh- and has anyone else seen the movie “The Girl  Who Spelled Freedom?” No-  Henry Thomas isn’t in it.  I just threw that in there for the heck of it.

I need your help. My sister and I are going CRAZY (not a far stretch for us…) trying to remember what movie this scene is from:

Ok- my sister and I are dorks. We admit it. We’ve tried googling this but how the heck do you google something like this. “White lady shoots innocent black man.” “Lady shoots man with gun under hanky.” “Ritchie!!” All of these phrases brought up porn sites. So, if you can help us out we’d really appreciate it. (Come on Jenny. You’re our only hope…)

This goes along with the post from earlier today. I had to add this last quote and if you get it then you’re either related to me or a dork like me.

“My ankles are fat. I itch everywhere. There’s something hangin’ out of my butt. The article’s not going well and now, now I have to get a haircut.” “There’s something hangin’ out of your what?” “When you’re pregnant sometimes you get hemmoroids, ok.” “Oh. Bummer.”

Welp- to continue to prove my dorkiness I thought I’d give y’all some insight to my favorite travel game. Everytime we’re driving from here to Texas (or to Canada or to Salt Lake…) I try to get Sei to play with me. I don’t think he enjoys it, but he humors me for a little while. The kids love it!! It’s THE MOVIE QUOTE GAME. It can work 2 ways. 1) I say a quote and the other players try to guess the movie & vice versa. 2) I name a movie and the other players try to give a quote & vice versa. I basically kick butt in this game. My sister will tell you that I’ve always been one to remember weird stuff. (See “Marcia, Marcia Marcia!” post below.) & for some reason movie quotes and words to songs are some of the useless things I remember. So… I’m gonna list some quotes today and I’d like to see who can name the movies correctly. I’ll post the answers tomorrow or Thursday. Good luck!! Oh- this post is dedicated to my missionary brother, Elder Wright, because he’s as big (if not bigger) movie quote nerd as I am. Love you Woogs!

4) “Sniper how did you get so close to me?” “Sniper approached the instructor by being a sneaky bastard, Sgt. Major!!” “Chavez, do you know the fine for littering in the State of California??” “YES SIR!!”

5) “Personal escort of the princess?” “Aye.” “Musta made an impression.” “Aye.” “I didn’t think you were in the tent that long.”

6) “Had wooden teeth. Chased Moby Dick!” “That was Capt. Ahab, dude.”

7) “My father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”

“It must be Take A Worm for a Walk Week!”
