Kea introduced this game several years ago, and I thought I'd bring it back. The poster above you gives the name of a movie. You write a line or short scene from that movie in an archaic style, as if the movie had been written by Shakespeare or some other playwright that predated motion pictures. You then give the name of a movie for the next poster.

I'll start off with suggesting one of the most quotable movies of all time: The Princess Bride.

Thou dost persist in th' employment of that utterance -- I do doubt its meaning is as thou dost suppose.

A Clockwork Orange

The wonder that the eye is unseeing of life's hues,
And life's hues seem the more wondrous when seen in frame.

Iron Man (1)

Stark:
Good man, thou must not give thy life today;
Get up and come along with me forthwith.
Pray keep thy word and see thy family.

Yinsen:
My word is best kept in my dying here:
I go see them now, for they are all slain.

Stark:
Thou hast my thanks and sorrow.

Yinsen:
Farewell, Stark.
Take care not to waste thy life. Here I die.

Yinsen dies and is inexplicably carried out.

Up!

RUSSELL. At ease, hound!

[DUG doth lower his hindquarters to the ground.]

RUSSELL. Behold, the mongrel hath received education! Salutations!

[DUG doth lift his paw, Russell graspeth it.]

RUSSELL. Well met! Give utterance to thy thoughts!

DUG. Greetings, countryman!

[CARL and RUSSELL exclaim with wonderment.]

CARL. Forsooth, did yonder canine bid us greeting?

DUG. Verily!

[CARL exclaims.]

DUG. I am called Dug. This is the first moment wherein I behold thy visage, and yet already mine heart doth leap mightily for thee. My patron hath employed his formidable cunning to fashion this band which doth encircle my throat. He is most assuredly a patron of great esteem and uncommon comprehension, which he hath bent to the purpose of fashioning this band which doth encircle my throat that I may give utterance withal. SQUIRREL!

[DUG doth direct his gaze yonder to seek vermin, but he findeth none.]

DUG. Verily, great esteem and uncommon comprehension hath my patron!


Inception

COBB: To sleep.

SAITO: To sleep, perchance to dream? Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

COBB: Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

SAITO: Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest! All that we see or seem...

COBB: Is but a dream within a dream.

The Graduate

I would post a response, but I've never seen The Graduate.

There's an easy solution to THAT problem.

However, I'll accept Gravity as an alternate...

Benjamin: Zounds, woman!

Mrs. Robinson: I beg thee pardon, sir?

Benjamin: Nay, Madam. I say nay.

Mrs. Robinson: Good sir, what doth trouble you?

Benjamin: Madam Robinson, surely... surely you jest ...

Mrs. Robinson: What is it, good sir?

Benjamin: Truth, woman, in that you did not prithy me to take this course of madness.

Mrs. Robinson: What course of madness?

Benjamin: What madness you doth think, woman?

Mrs. Robinson: Benjamin, I must say that I know not of what you speak.

Benjamin: For all that is good and just, woman... We're here! You invite me to your home, you give me drink from your table, you serenade me with sonnet, now you doth protest of your own livelihood and tell me your man won't be home until the morrow!

Mrs. Robinson: So?

Benjamin: Madam Robinson, thou art trying to bed me.

Mrs. Robinson: [laughs] Verily, you think?

Benjamin: I would say so!


My challenge? Billy Madison
