Let's Play a Game! - DPChallenge Forums

Ok here is a little trivia game I'm going to start. There are several types of media represented here as quotes. Identify the major work from which they come and the author/composer/photographer/actor(which recites the line). (Obviously for the photograph you only need to identify the photographer, not a major work.) The person who solves the last remaining one must submit more to continue the game. And don't cheat by putting direct quotes in a search engine. Ok, let's play!

Movie: "Women weaken legs!"

Song: "Love is a burning thing and it makes a firery ring."

Book: "Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don't know. I got a telegram from the home: 'Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.' That doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday."

Photograph:

Good luck! (Hints will be given at the discretion of the submitter)

Rules Clarification: You can use a search engine as long as you are not using the direct quote.

Go ahead and post the song, you don't have to know all of them.

No, it isn't mine, I just put it in my portfolio so it didn't leave any obvious tracks.

And the name of the song is...?

oops!! Ring of fire

Ok, we've got the movie and the song. We've got book and photograph left, any takers?

P.S. Jennifer, I was definitely looking for Johnny Cash, not the Social Distortion knockoff.

Ok, I'm gonna give some hints to keep this first round moving along:

Book - you may have been required to read this for high school or college english (i.e. it is considered a classic).

Photograph - was featured in Popular Photography Magazine within the past year.

But we can't search for it? I'm done.

I just meant you can't search using the direct quotes. You can search for classic novels (in this case) and see if you can find it.

One more hint: the book was first published in 1942.

Well, I had to read it! Anyway, since you figured the last one out, it is your turn to come up with some.

Ha, I can see Harrison Ford, but can't remember if it was Star Wars or Indiana Jones. I'm gonna go with Jones...

No, I think that is what Harrison Ford said just after shooting Hollywood Homicide.

lol... he may have said it in Indiana Jones, but I was quoting from Star Wars...

He along with every other major character ever in the series says "I've got a bad feeling about this" at some point.
