Quote Quiz

Ok, some thoughts still forming for a next proper post (and I may write a Recommends later) but in the interests of keeping up the pace after a week off (Superbowl awesomeness) it's quote quiz time.

You pretty much know the score, 15 quotes below simply guess where they come from. I'd say there some really easy ones here and maybe a couple that'll throw people....

1. "Dear diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count" Heathers

2. "I take no pleasure in taking a life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it" Leon

3. "The only skater to win four national championships and an adult film award" Blades Of Glory

4. "It is strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing" Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

5. "When I was growing up they would say you could become cops or criminals. But what I'm saying is this; when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?" The Departed

6. "You're US government property. You're a malfunctioning thirty million dollar weapon" The Bourne Identity

7. "Do you buy all these books retail or do you send away for, like, a shrink kit that comes with all these volumes?" Good Will Hunting

8. "I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection." Fight Club

9. "Hermione just stole all of our shit." This Is The End

10. "So what, "It's better than eleven percent"! What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Guardians Of The Galaxy

11. "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling." Inception

12. "Somewhere along the way I lost a step. I got sloppy. Dulled my edge. Maybe I went and did the worst crime of all. I got civilised."

13. "This is the best bad idea we have, sir. By far."

14. "All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles. To have a precious few of them back." X-Men : Days Of Future Past

15. "I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work there, Lou." Fargo

So off you go, I'll cross off the answers as people get them.

Quiz Time : Opening Images Level 2

Right, challenge accepted! Another batch of stills taken from the opening moments of films and this time no url based clues. Once again there are couple of gifts in there (the first two really should ease you in) but this time I think there are a couple of genuinely tricky ones.

If anyone wants to hide their answers from others send 'em as a message on good 'ol facebook.
