Movie of the Week: Monsters, Inc

[Kiara]

Welcome to our Movie of the Week #3 - My favorite Monsters, Inc!

 

OK, I'm going to do things a tiny bit different than the last two movie threads. Since my pockets are overflowing with points, but my clock is not overflowing with time, each day I'm going to post a quote from the movie and a trivia question. Each day you can only answer ONE of the TWO questions, to give everyone a chance to play.

 

We do also have a poll so that you can tell us who your favorite MI character is, too - so remember to vote!

 

Got it? Ready? Ok, here we go!

 

Quote #1 - There's nothing more toxic or deadly than a human child.

 

Trivia #1 - The sushi bar Harryhausen's is a reference to a real person. Who is he and what did he do?

[Taei]

The sushi bar Harryhausen's is a reference to a real person. Who is he and what did he do?

 

Ray Harryhausen was a special effects creator noted for his stop motion animation (model animation) techinquies.

[Kiara]

That's correct!  ;)

[Leane_Shariff]

The quote was from: Henry J. Waternoose

[Kiara]

Also correct!

 

Now, everyone tell me - if you had a "door", what would it look like?

[Torrie]

I voted other in the poll. My favorite character is the monster that falls on the jacks and gets hit in the head with the soccer ball in the first part of the movie. I giggle every time I see it.

 

 

 

My door would probable have vines and trees painted on it, being outdoorsy and all.

[Kiara]

In the simulation, you mean? I think his name is Phlegm.  :D

[Torrie]

Yup! That's him.  ;D

 

 

Maybe its cause my kids find him hilarious too.

[U4ea]

Hmm... my door...

 

*would be purple!

*would probably have flowers all over it, but not the kiddie flowers like Boo's. They'd be... real flowers. :)

*Maybe it would be stained glass instead of wood... so the light from my reading light would make it shimmer...

 

 

eh, I'm flighty tonight, it seems. *laughs*

[Kiara]

Just tonight?  :-*

[U4ea]

*laughs* lately? yes. I've been more scary than flighty, these days. It comes with the stress, I'm told. ;)

[Jaydena]

My door would be Green with a sword on it I am thinking and some roses all around the edge, their vines and leaves making a border around the door.

[Kiara]

OK, day #2!! (And I still want to hear about your doors!)

 

Quote Day #2 - You let me go, I'll give you ... a ride ... in the car.

Trivia Day #2 - Who was originally offered the part of Sully?

[Jaydena]

You let me go, I'll give you ... a ride ... in the car

Mike

[Kiara]

That's right!  :D

[twinflower]

My door would prolly be pink with a big white fluffy cloud on it, with a fairy princess castle rising out of the cloud!  Then around the edges would be vines and flowers and butterflies..*nods*

[Samuraiflip05]

Mine would be cherry wood.  Simple, well made. 

 

Trivia Day #2 - Who was originally offered the part of Sully?

 

Bill Murray

[Kiara]

That's right! They offered it to him, and when they didn't hear back, they assumed he didn't want it.  ;)

 

Quote Day #3 - Oh. So *that's* puce.

Trivia Day #3 - The Snowman describes the children in the Himalayan village as "Tough kids, sissy kids, kids who climb on rocks". Where does this originally come from?

[Kiara]

No takers today? Too hard?  ???

 

Looks like Sully and Mike are neck and neck on our poll!

[Samuraiflip05]

The quote is Sully when he is trying to do Mike's paperwork.

 

Not sure about the trivia.  :-\

[Taei]

Trivia is a line taken from an old jingle for Armour Hot Dogs Jingle, though slightly mixed up.

[Kiara]

Both correct!  :) :)

 

Quote Day #4 - Sushi? Sushi? You think this is about sushi?

Trivia Day #4 - When Boo pulls on the stacked DVDs in Sulley's apartment and they all come falling down, what DVD is she holding?

[_Kynwric_]

I know these, but I need no points... so I'll let them pass.

 

My favorite MI Character is Sully, just for the record.

[Torrie]

I need points. :look  Lol
