CineQuote Newsletter #46

Did Oingo Bongo cameo in the movie BACK TO SCHOOL? Yes.
Did they play one their own songs at a campus party? Yes!
Was it “Weird Science?” No!
Did they play “Dead Man’s Party?” Yes!

Ok, you used up your four questions. Welcome to the Newsletter! Let’s talk about stuff!

We dropped a new Pack for everyone to play. It’s a Brat Pack… Pack. So that means every one of the movies will have a BratPacker as part of the cast. These are Classic CineQuote games so some may be familiar to you regulars, but if you’re new here it’s a fun one to go through some games that you haven’t played. Link here, or just click Packs on your CQ home screen. And like we always say, Packs don’t count against your stats, so go nuts! Try guessing Ingmar Bergman movies for fun!

OH! For all you CQ Members out there, we just EXTENDED the amount of time you have to play unplayed games. It used to be 7 days, but we recently had some CQ Members out there who either were traveling, imprisoned, marooned, comatose, runnin’ from the FEDS, on a “spirit-walk”, swamped at work, or otherwise physically detached from their phone and thus couldn’t feed the monkey and get their CineQuote fix in. Now, members have 14 days to do ‘em! Wanna be rad like the cool kids? Become a CQ Member today.

That twangy guitar may have helped a little too much, or Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon just have those evocative voices where folks’ targeted the exact right two gals on the lam movie. 93.5% is quite impressive for THELMA & LOUISE, even if both of these women were nominated for Best Actress and then soundly beaten by Jodie Foster.

If you were at a MetroPlex MultiScreen 13 movie theater, about 35 years ago, you could have paired Thelma & Louise with the most bizarre double feature, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2: SECRET OF THE OOZE. And while TMNT 2: SOTO didn’t garner as many Oscar nominations as Thelma & Louise (quite the injustice...), the two movies do share a lot of similarities! Both focus on anti-heroes taking the law into their own hands, both made back triple their budget at the box office, and both feature a furniture-breaking, highly erotic, steamy sex scene with Brad Pitt. I guess you’re gonna have to watch it now to see which of the four is the lucky turtle (spoiler: it’s actually NOT Michelangelo. Cow-a-bunga!)

Ace of the Week

24.4%

Well, when you get to these big series you either are gonna be able to pull it together from A) some of the voices or B) plot points detailed in the quotes. And while MI - GHOST PROTOCOL hit just below 70% win rate, you cunning devils knew this Ace. For many though, it was a “roll the die, guess a sequel” kind of day. We never used “ghost” in the quotes, but we tried to winnow it down by Ethan Hunt talking about how the IMF is no more, the IMF is just the few people in this room, the IMF is basically nothing, yadda yadda yadda. We were hoping you’d think of all that when “Ghost Protocol” popped up in the search bar, but about a third of you went with MI 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 (# 8 wasn’t selectable at the time.)

Do you like what we’re doing? Would you be cool supporting us with your pocketbook? We’d love for you to show some love and become a CQ MEMBER. For just $5 a month, you get:

• access to the last fourteen days of movies (no more missing games! do the whole week in one sitting!)
