End Line Game Answers

-
Here are the answers to last week's game:D

#1:  "So happy, Mr. [Bradley]."  Roman Holiday


I will openly admit that I almost tear up at this ending.  It's so bittersweet, yet it's really beautiful, and, more importantly, Gregory Peck is crying, and I just…yeah.

#2:  "Well, I'm back."  The Return of the King


Let's not even go into it…

#3:  "I love you, baby."  October Baby


This is without doubt one of the most uplifting and liberating endings EVER.  I love it.

#4:  "I am haunted by humans."  The Book Thief


How does she look so gorgeous when she's just been pulled from the rubble of what used to be her home?!

#5:  "So the two men in great-grandfather's stories - they really lived?"  "Yeah.  They really lived."  Secondhand Lions


Yes, that's literally the best I could find after an intense couple seconds of Googling.  Abject apologies.

#6:  "You alone can make my song take flight - it's over now, the music of the night!" The Phantom of the Opera


OHHHH, THE PAIN!!!!

#7:  "You're coming home with me?"  North and South (2004)


Whereat we all collapse into puddles of smiles and feels and warm fuzzies;)

#8:  "Our fate lives within us - you only have to be brave enough to see it."  Brave


The music at this part, though…O.O

#9:  "The music is all around us - all you have to do is listen."  August Rush


GO. WATCH. THIS. MOVIE.

#10:  "I now pronounce you men and wives."  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers


I'm firmly convinced that this movie is one of the most perfect things in existence.

    How cool! The quotes I didn't guess are all from movies I haven't seen (a couple I haven't even heard of!). I guess those end lines stick with me pretty well!

    These are very fun to play!

    Oh! *facepalm* I can't believe I didn't get that first line! Haha, I love your, "Gregory Peck is crying." That is such a tragically sweet ending.

    Oooh! So August Rush is good? I heard somewhere it was really sad. But I really like Keri Russell, so I think I'll check it out.

    Fun game!

      Hee, thanks;) I fight myself over that ending all the time--the movie "critic" in me thinks, "Aw, that's a sweet, well-done ending."...but the romantic in me thinks, "NO! They didn't end up together! No!" ;)

      Yes, it's AMAZING! Hmm...it's not really sad...it's very heavy at times, but it's not what I'd call sad. Oh, and there is the problem of, um...stuff that shouldn't happen, if you know what I mean, but it's only one brief moment and then it moves on...yeah:)

    I just caught maybe half of The Book Thief on TV last week, had no idea what it was when I started watching it! It was interesting, wished I had seen it from the beginning. And I remember my mother watching 7 brides for 7 brothers when I was a kid. She still loves that movie.

      Yes!!! SBFSB forever! It's just so great:D

      Ah, yes, dear Sam...*sniffle*

      I certainly hope not! I'd have to question whether they even have a heart;)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
