Science Fiction Double Feature [Movie Quote Game]

I love movies. My work colleagues give me looks when I mention plans to catch a movie on a weekday night, but I have no issues in making an evening out of it. Purchase a movie ticket, spend the intervening hour or so before the movie perusing the book store, buy some popcorn, and then watch the movie.

I don’t just see the good movies; I get my share of the bad (anyone else see the remake of The Fog?). But I prefer to watch good movies, despite what NE thinks.

As part of the mix CDs I’ve been making since college, I’ve included pertinent movie quotes that match the theme or mood of the CD. Some I’ve found on-line, others I had to capture from the movie myself; over time, I have amassed quite a collection.

Challenge: Below are five movie quotes. See if you can identify the movie and the character speaking the lines. Naming the actor/actress as well is not necessary, but does earn you cool points.

Attach your guesses as comments. The first to figure out all five will get something in return.

UPDATE: Tess was the first to answer these all correctly (well – technically, NE was – but she is such a movie fanatic that I made her answer in e-mail). For her efforts, Tess will get a tailor-made mix CD. I went ahead and updated the quote descriptions to show the answers.

Weapons of Choice

My collection of toys is eclectic. I don’t own any dildos. No vibrators, large or small, phallus or butterfly shaped.

In my official toy chest I have a flogger, a pair of leather cuffs, a leather collar, leather leash, and nipple clips.

I am also the proud owner of a lot of edged weapons.

I never want my toys to be the centerpiece when I play (unless, of course, that is the point of the session). I want the experience itself to be the focus. The slow seduction or the rough submission. Toys are props for me. I’m just as content pinning hands over head and holding them still in my grip, as I am in tying them down with rope. Sloping furniture made for experimenting with positions is nice, but my large leather reading chair is perfect for spreading open someone’s thighs, resting them on the plush arms, and laying them forth as a feast.

An evening of slow increasing pressure drawn forth in glances and subtle touches is just as effective as any toy I have yet had the pleasure to use.

Not to say I don’t love playing with toys – there are many I look forward to experimenting with. But to bastardize a well-worn sentiment – I want to own my toys, not have them own me.

Lullaby

The last of my bedtime stories for a long time to come. I have an idea for future audio posts (in a slightly different vein).

I realized something today while listening to the recording below. I record these not for an audience, but for myself. My tone is overy affected. I do in fact eat the words, lingering over some, moving quickly past others.

I've asked NE – what is it that I sound like when I take her down?

Different from the posts, she responds. Some of them she finds quite sexy and…effective. Others she is less impressed with.

Ah, NE – so quickly to her knees she goes, but never fearful of telling me her truth.

Overdramatic

Someone made this comment the other day, after reading a bit of my writing:

“That sounds like a lot of overdramatic bullshit.”

Well.

Yes.

It is.

It’s a truism I’ve been accused of before. In fact, there are time I read my own writings and think, “Who could actually buy into all this?”

I do.

I actually believe in what I write. I believe, with hunger and intent, that I create those moments where reality conforms to the dark places I conjure with my words. Where the ruined cities and dark forests of my mind take on form. And knowledge supplants belief, for I have lived, over and over again, those moments. I have seen the manifestation of my hungers in the eyes of another.

My writing is an extension of my thoughts and desires – not the genesis of them. Do not be fooled by my overly-honed sense of the dramatic. That is simply an indulgence of mine, and not indicative of the solidity of the truth it harbors. The colorful dressing for a beautiful and horrible thing.

Undressed.

I am perverse.

I have no shame in saying this; I embrace it. I revel in it. I seek to understand it.

One aspect of my perversity is my desire to touch the human animal within those I play with. To distill for a few minutes that electric liquid exilir comprised of two parts raunch, two parts rigid instinctual need, and one part laughter.

This is my nectar.

When I am in a particularly good mood, I find myself mentally undressing those women I have the potential to be attracted to.

I’m not picturing perfect bodies – I can stare at a plastic Barbie doll if that was my desire. What I think about are the imperfections – the differences that makes them unique, that shift them from being an abstraction and into being a potential reality.

I want to hear the story of their desire in the pattern of their breathing. I want to feel the rhythm of their lust in the undulation of their hips.

I live for that moment when they stop being a lady. When they cross over to me – racing, stumbling, wide-eyed or blindly seeking. When they give into impulse.

When they become mine.

Spoken Mastery [uneditted]

Everything here, in this place, is filtered, edited.

It is part of the charm of this medium, that perfection may be attempted. Attempted, but never attained. Because it is that drive for perfection, that constant editing, molding, shifting of ideas, that continual desire to see it better, that ensures it never will be.

***

Here, uneditted. One take, one try.

A taste of imperfect perfection.
