Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Our wings are not tired.

So many good possibilities. I also liked these quotes:

Well, from the title I thought it was about food.

I do remember I liked the popcorn, though.

I hear it's like watching a video with a bunch of strangers and a sticky floor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I like the sticky floor quote, although it may be on the long side for a title. Ditto men/hobbits.

Movies 1: from the title I thought it was about food.

It's a possiblity. I think we already mentioned

which I guess leaves us with

Up with the sun

Movies 1: I do remember I liked the popcorn

I like this one. Also:

Movies 1: Possibly something from the Ringwald oeuvre.

Movies 1: Just nothing with horror in it. Or romance. Or men.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

For some reason, I liked this:

Movies 1: Plenty of Chick-and-British-Guy Flicks

I also like the sticky floor reference.

Thread naming will be a lot more fun when we get to Movies 2, what with all of the possible sequel jokes.

Seriously, Dude, you should see this movie!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If we do go with a show quote, I'm all about Denzel.

I'm very charmed by the

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jess, you'd be very, very welcome! I don't know if I could survive another year of dumb hobbit movie being nominated in every single category...

Excellent. Adds new categories "Best hobbit" "Best Elf" and "Best Wizard"

I like "Movies 1: I do remember I liked the popcorn" for the thread title.
