CineQuote Newsletter #48

Hey everyone, we’re a a little slow today on account of being at a big ‘ol wedding this weekend. Champagne was toasted, someone tried breakdancing, an aunt was kicked in the head by mistake, the minister was most likely wracked with COVID, the ring was lost for six minutes, but in the end the bride and groom said “I do” so we’re calling it a complete success. We decided at the last minute to make the happy couple a Game Pack full of classic CQ games featuring weddings, so if you didn’t check the news tab, you should just click here: https://cinequote.net/packs/wedding-bells. Sometimes we make Packs just for members, but on account of the occasion, this one is for everybody.

And if YOU got married this weekend, well then just consider this a special pack made just for you. Congrats! Now let’s talk da numbahs…

FINDING NEMO absolutely crushed (no pun intended) this last week, breaching the surface with a 96% win rate. That’s pretty good considering Pixar spurted out another “FINDING” movie right after and might do three more by the end of the year, all of which made or will make a billion dollars. SHARK TALE from DreamWorks is STILL waiting for its day in the sun on CQ. Will it be this week? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe! (No.)

Nowhere remotely as seen was the little John Turturro / Sam Rockwell quasi-buddy flick BOX OF MOONLIGHT. 20.8% win rate is really something to be marveled at, especially with those two big names, as well as being the directorial follow-up to LIVING IN OBLIVION from Tom DiCillo. Despite being a brutally low score, these types of streak-breakers are ultimately good for you phenoms out there. It reminds us all that there are unwatched good movies out there, even for the most hardest of diehards. But hear ye, hear ye, this was a good example of your old pals at CineQuote dropping a key word from the title in the last quote. “You’ll let the moonlight out” says Sam Rockwell. That would have really narrowed things down for those of you who didn’t remember the little nudge we sometimes do on difficult days. And if you’re reading this before playing yesterday’s game, let us just say, AHEM. WINK. WINK.

Ace of the Week

24.4%

"Call the President, prepare the jet, bring my overnight bag, and uh, Phillips, feed my fish..”

So many quotes, and only five to choose from. Sometimes it be like that, and for AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY we gave ourselves an ulcer trying to winnow it down. In the end we tried to give ya a quote free of Mike Myers completely, and also free of any British accented character. Charles Napier, having recovered from what Hannibal Lecter did to him a few years earlier, was the actor we went with for quote 1 and yet you sly devils saw right through it and knocked our socks off with that sweet, sweet Ace. Oh behave…
