CineQuote Newsletter #81

Happy Easter Monday to those who celebrate. And no, we did not do an Easter movie yesterday. We got in a big fight over at Headquarters over whether to do Jesus Christ Superstar or Harvey, and in the end both sides lost. We thought it best to go a different route altogether and opted for a Viggo Mortensen movie, so I guess… everybody won, even if the movie was extra Stumpery.

Would you be so kind as to drop us a quick review of our App? If you’ve already done this, thank-you for being a hero. If you haven’t, a nice rate and review on either the App Store or the Google Play store would be mighty kind of ya, and much appreciated by the gang of newsies and shoeshine boys we have running this two-bit operation.

Also, last month we unveiled the Triple Play for our Members to play! As promised here’s another one:

This is a Member-Exclusive game. If you want to give it a shot, click that profile tab and help support this plucky little underdog of a mobile game by becoming a Member for $5 a month (less than a quarter a day.) Thank you, thank you, thank you! We would love to see ya onboard.

Alrighty. Let’s talk numbers:

Our April Fools’ Day movie proved to be the winner of the week. This makes so little sense to us as 60% of the quotes were grunting and/or screaming, but we’ve stopped trying to crack the code of how y’all play this thing. Yes, it was indeed a John Rambo movie (there were five in total) and we gave you his name in quote number 4, so you CQ sleuths out there figured we were talking about RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II where he heads back to ‘Nam to rescue POWs (and also…. fall in love?). Normally 77% isn’t high enough to top the charts, but from the looks of it, the week was full of booby traps.

Alright. Yes, sequels can be real pains. Enter.. ALIEN RESURRECTION which burst through many a chest this week. Sigourney Weaver’s voice popped up in Quote 3, so that may have helped those that got it, but you’d have to know some plot elements to really zero in. Maybe this needed to be a Sunday Stumper given the difficulty. Don’t feel bad if you went with Alien 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7. Number 4 won’t show up here for awhile.

To all the Marks, Ricks, and Steves out there, CineQuote makes no comment about your sexuality (perceived or otherwise). Whatever ya got going on, we’re glad you’re here making us part of your day. If you have some grievance, and we don’t know why you would as track lighting is awesome, you can take it up with either STEEL MAGNOLIAS or the estate of Olympia Dukakis. Hey, check out the NYC apartment she lived in up until her death. Even she had some quality track lighting we bet.

Become a CQ Member and they’ll have to accept the fact they're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with players who are the best, with quotes, with voices, with sound effects. Someone who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. Okay, maybe not that last one. But Members are still the best.

• access to the Triple Play mini game, available every newsletter
