You Talkin’ To Me? – featuring: Terry Malloy’s Pigeon Coop
Ever wondered how to respond to a question by a particular film character? Well, here’s your chance to find out what others have said. Inspired by a feature from Total Film magazine, I’ve decided to adapt some film quotes, that pose as questions to my fellow bloggers. This is my way of shedding some light on some great blogs out there and have a little fun at the same time. There are a different range of questions which will give the blogger the chance to either be offensive, defensive, serious, funny, surreal etc. It may prove difficult to come up with a answer but the whole point is to be as creative as possible.
In the crosshairs in this instalment is Chris Thomson, who runs the excellent
TERRY MALLOY’S PIGEON COOP.
Okay, let’s get started. The film quotes will be in bold with Chris’ answers underneath.
Well you started the conversation, but I guess I am now, yes.
You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Do you feel lucky? I don’t know, do you? As for me, well I recently won a children’s cricket set in a raffle. That’s about as lucky as I get.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Well she told me her name was Sarah but she did carry a pitchfork. Did a mean rumba too.
My… my wi-, my wife, Bunny? Do you see a wedding ring on my finger? Does this place look like I’m fucking married? The toilet seat’s up, man!
Women love it when you leave the toilet seat up. Just ask all my ex-wives.
Big Kahuna Burger. That’s that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. I ain’t never had one myself. How are they?
You ain’t never had one? So you have had one? Don’t come round here with your double negatives.
Do you see me holding up liquor stores with a born to lose tattoo on my chest?
Never rob a liquor store bare chested. Never.
You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Funny like the way I sent this question to my girlfriend once who has never seen Goodfellas and genuinely thought I was pissed off with her and I had to explain the whole thing to her. She’s still not seen Goodfellas.
Why don’t you try stickin’ your head up your ass? See if it fits.
I’m fairly sure that biology dictates that it wouldn’t. I’d at least have to spend some serious time with Zachary Quinto first.
Alright, alright. Mickey’s a mouse, Donald’s a duck, Pluto’s a dog. What’s Goofy?
Another breed of dog? A sex offender? Oh god, what is he?!
Are you telling me you built a time machine? Out of a Delorian?
Yep and I’ll use it for the only good thing a time machine would be good for. Dinosaurs.
It’s quite a thing to live in fear isn’t it?
Could be worse, you could live in Hull.
If you could fight any celebrity, who would you pick?
Justin Bieber. I’d love to stove his smug little face in. Over and over again. Until the end of time.

You’ll find an abundance of quality reviews, as well as his very informative feature What Is?… Thanks again Chris, and if anyone else would like a crack at these questions then let me know in the comments section and you could be in the crosshairs next.

Good stuff Mark, glad I could get involved in this, thanks for asking! My answers do look a little threadbare, though. Apologies for not being a little more elaborate with my answers! Ha!

Bieber is another great choice. So far, we’ve had Adam Sandler and Beiber and I wouldn’t argue with either of them.

I’ll drop you an email. If you don’t want to go ahead, that’s fine. I understand it’s not for everyone. You can take as long as you like and can answer in any way you’d like as well. There are no rules on the answers and every blogger gets absolute free reign without any censorship whatsoever.
