I have the most important job interview (well, the first proper one, for more than a summer job) of my life, so far, tomorrow at 7 PM GMT / 8 PM my time. Well, not really that important. I could survive without this job, and I'm amazed I came this far in the hiring process. I'm more nervous due to fear of failure than due to me needing this job.

For once, I'm actually studying/working for an exam I need to be prepared for.

If I see any more Java code this very second, me brain will explode.



Nicked from [info]camillo1978

1. Pick 10-20 your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1. Stand tall, boy. Have some *respect* for yourself. Don't you know if you let people walk over you now, they'll be walking over you for the rest of your life! Look at me. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in *this* slop house?

2. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. [info]elen_ancalima

3. I thought Tommy Tammisimo sucked big time.

4. I changed the conditions of the test. I got a commendation for original thinking. I don't like to lose. [info]dickgloucester

5. Sir, the pool is for decoration, and your friends do not have swimwear. [info]elen_ancalima

6. Nicko! Don't play with the food! When I was your age, we didn't have food!

7. P.I Staker? Right! "Piss Taker!" Come on! [info]camillo1978

8. I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet, I was unforgivably rude, and wearing a reindeer jumper. [info]kribu

9. Hail Caesar! And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. [info]dickgloucester

10. These go to eleven. [info]kribu

11. Random thoughts for Valentine's day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap.

12. He doesn't want us to cut through our chains. He wants us to cut through our feet! [info]camillo1978

13. Would anyone like... a peanut? [info]elen_ancalima

14. You wouldn't come to work with a hangover unless you were an alcoholic. Dude, you got a disease!

15. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I... Think... I... Can... I Thought I could. I thought I could. I thought I could. Woo-hoo! [info]elen_ancalima

16. We're gonna explode? I don't wanna explode! [info]elen_ancalima

17. Another one of them new worlds. No beer, no women, no pool parlors, nothin'. Nothin' to do but throw rocks at tin cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans.

18. That's what's wrong with the present day horrorfilms. There's no realism. Not like the old ones, the great ones. Frankenstein. Phantom of the Opera. Dracula - the one with Bela Lugosi of course, not this new fellow. [info]kribu

19. But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures, rather than meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money - and off your perfectly-formed arse. [info]dickgloucester

20. It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day. [info]camillo1978

Hmmm. Most of these are too tough for me! Should I recognise them?

8 - Bridget Jones
10 - Spinal Tap
18 - The House that Dripped Blood

Er... I think. I have a feeling I should know 20 too...

18 - is that the one where Vincent Price kills loads of theatre critics in the manner of the plays he's been in? I'll always remember Captain Mainwaring's head on the milk-bottle, and Robert Morley's poodle pie.

No... I don't think Vincent Price was in it.

It's sort of comprised of four separate (but vaguely related) segments, with Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Denholm Elliott and Jon Pertwee starring in each one respectively. Very mild horror ... but the Pertwee segment was a completely hilarious parody.

According to Wikipedia, Theatre of Blood is the one I was thinking about, so yours must be called something else?

The quote is definitely railway-related, yes.

It is not a movie about railways though.
