Sunday's With Sue!! Finally! Or, is it Finale?

Christmas Vacation! A movie, that for some reason, I hadn't seen until Cam's mom gave it to me a few years ago when she noticed I didn't own any Christmas movies except Elf. I don't know how or why I had missed this one. I guess I'm really not into a lot of Christmas movies. For example, I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life either. Please don't jump down my throat for that, just let it be.

And no, I didn't forget, I've just been uber busy. And as Dan guessed when he emailed me a week ago, a little burned out on Sunday's With Sue. I really haven't been on the computer much at all in the last couple of weeks. I signed up for a bunch of overtime the week between Christmas and New Years, so the thought of coming home and looking at a computer was out of the question. And, as most of you know by now, Dave moved in with me and Cam on New Years Day! It is very nice having him here. It's been pretty busy around here since Dave got here. I've been working a lot and we've been busy trying to get the house situated so Dave has his own space and feels comfortable. I think we are getting there. Now I just need to take down all the Christmas stuff so I can have my living room back. I have today off, so I finally have some time to do some much needed things around the house and do the SWS post.

Anyway, enough about me! As I mentioned above, I have gotten a little burned out doing Sunday's With Sue. I've been doing it for over a year, and it's kind of lost it's fun on me. But, don't worry, I've been thinking about it, and I think I came up with a fun way we can keep it going. I've gotten Em's and Dan's approval, and I think the rest of you will like the new way. Here is what I propose:

The current week's winner, which in this case is Em of course, will post the next movie quote. Then the winner of that one, will do the next one, and so on. That way someone like Emily can't dominate the winnings and I can play along too. I think this is a nice way of giving everyone a fair shot, and it will probably bring up movies that I would never think of. We could even expand the game more so if someone would like to do a trivia question instead of a quote they can. What do you guys think? I like the idea, and Em and Dan like it, so I'm taking charge and saying this is how we are going to do it moving forward.

I use google images for the movie pictures. Just go to google, click on images, and type in the movie title. It's as easy as that. And here is the link I use for the quotes. http://moviequotes.com Just click on "quote bank" and it brings up a box with the letters of the alphabet and you click on the first letter of the movie's title. Sometimes when the movie starts with "The" it is under "T", but sometimes it's under the first letter of the next word. Christmas Vacation was actually under "N" for National Lampoon's, so you sometimes have to figure out how they have the movie titled. But, I have found this site to be the one with the most movies listed. IMDB also has quotes, and I've used it a couple of times, so does Wikipedia.

I think we should name it something new too. I think it would be silly to keep calling it Sunday's With Sue. Anyone have ideas for a new name? It could be the Wright Movie Game, or the Wright's Super Happy Fun Movie Game, or whatever. If you think of a name, put it in the comments and we will all discuss.

As I said Em was first to guess Christmas Vacation. When I went into my email folder where I file all the SWS guesses, the emails in there were from the last SWS. Oops! I guess I really wasn't into it! I do know that Em guessed first and I remember B and Dan guessed. If anyone else did, sorry I forgot.

So Em, take the reigns!

Sunday's With Sue 12/13/9

A Christmas Story! One of the best Christmas movies ever! A total classic and one that you just can't help but watch when you see it's on. One of the cable channels always does a marathon of this movie a couple of days before Christmas. Sorry I didn't get to this last week, but I didn't get around to it, then I forgot, then Em reminded me and I forgot again. Sorry, I've been busy putting together a cookbook that my Bunko group is doing. And I'm sorry I had to miss the family festivities this weekend, especially the blessing! I had to work, I tried to get someone to cover my shift and I couldn't get anyone to do it. So, I'm really sorry. And Saturday night we had a Christmas party we had to go to.

Em guessed first! It's crazy how good you are at this Em! Dad guessed next, yay Dad! Then Jeanine, then Cat, then Amy.

Here is this week's movie quote:

All we kept was a 50 foot plot, the pigs, and the worm farm.

Sunday's With Sue 11/15/09

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory! The classic, 1970's version with Gene Wilder. I think this is my favorite movie from my childhood. I remember being kind of scared of parts, like the Oompa Loompas and the weird boat ride and song Gene Wilder sings, but also just loving it because it is just a crazy, fun, magical movie. I also really liked the books, I think the Glass Elevator was my favorite. If you haven't read the books, I highly recommend doing so. I also really like the Johnny Depp version of the movie. The movies are different enough, that I think you can enjoy the new one without comparing it too much to the original. Johnny Depp is great as always, I love how he's always telling the one kid to stop mumbling. And Depp plays Willy Wonka in a great, kind of creepy way.

Emily guessed it first! Nice job Em! Dan guessed right second, then Ben, and that was it! This was harder for you guys than I thought it would be. Dan's first guess was Monty Python's Meaning of Life. I went back and read the quotes I did and they totally sound like they could be Monty Python.

Here is this week's movie quote:

Person #1- Did anybody order me a plain cheese?

Person #2- Yeah, we did but if you want any somebody's gonna have to barf it all up, cause it's gone.

Sunday's With Sue at last

The Watcher in the Woods! I knew this would be a tough one, but I thought more people would get it. Especially how it's become a classic at the Phister house. I thought of this movie because when Booker was here we were laughing about how Matt scared us while we were watching this movie. I kind of gave it away with the last quote. Anyway, Amy got it first! Way to go Amy! You haven't won in a while, and I don't think you've won since we started the playlist thing, so looking forward to hearing some Amy tunes. Cat got it next and that was it. Haley thought maybe it was Ghostbusters.

Here is this week's movie quote. I'm going to let this one go until next Sunday, since it is already Wednesday:

Just remember, there are many more important things in the world. Many, many more important things. I can't think of what they are, but I'm sure they're out there.

Sunday's With Sue 10/18/09

Star Wars, A New Hope. The first Star Wars, or the fourth one, I don't know, I'm confused. It's the one that came out in like 1977. A movie, and franchise, I never paid that much attention too, until I lived with Cam. He loves these movies and watches them often. I finally sat down and watched them, and they are good movies! I'm sorry I didn't do a Friday quote. My friend, Doug, was here for the weekend, and I didn't sit at my computer once.

Anyway, Dan was the first one to get it right! Dad got it next, and that was it! I really thought more of you would have gotten it, or at least Matt. I thought the word "kid" in the second quote would have given it away. Oh well. Way to go Dan! We are in for some Dan tunes this week!

Here is this week's movie quote:

(in a trance) "nearly too late......hardly ever happens."

Sunday's With Sue

The Breakfast Club! Another great John Hughes movie from the 80's. This movie is still very watchable today, it doesn't seem as outdated as most movies from that era. And I just love Anthony Michael Hall in this! He is such a great nerd. Revisit this movie if you haven't seen it in a few years.

Emily is the only one that got it right! Way to go Em, you are really racking up the points. And she is right, all the quotes come from Judd Nelson's character, Bender. He has the best lines! I really thought more of you would have gotten this one! Emily got it right from the first quote, Bronwyn just sent me a guess of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Here is this week's movie quote:

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Sunday's With Sue 10/4/9

The Wizard of Oz! One of the greatest classic movies of all time! One of the movie channels played it about a week ago, and I watched it. I hadn't seen the movie in years, it is a great movie. But you would think that I'm the only one who has seen this movie, because no one got it! I didn't even get any wrong guesses! About an hour ago, Emily sent me a message that Rob knew what movie it was. She doesn't feel she can claim it, because they didn't work it out together, it was all Rob. So, I guess Rob got it! But, I think we should listen to my playlist for the week, because Rob's guess doesn't count. I had already started the post when Em's email came. I had already down loaded the picture and picked out the next movie. Besides, I never get a chance for my playlist to play, because you guys are all too good at this. So get ready for some Sue tunes! I don't even remember what I sent Em, so it will be a surprise to me. I would imagine there is probably a Beatles song, or if not, a John Lennon one.

Here is this week's movie quote:

Person #1- If I lose my temper you're totalled man.

Person #2- Totally?

Person #1- Totally.

Sunday's With Sue 9/28/9

Sorry I didn't get to this yesterday, but yesterday was the end of one of the craziest weeks I've ever had! I think last week was crazy for all of us! Elinor was born, Dave was here, Grandpa fell, Cat is moving....man, it's been quite a week for all of us Wrights! Cam woke up early Saturday morning and picked about 100 pounds of more stuff from the garden that needed to be canned, so we did that all day, then I had Bunko that night. Then I had to be to work at 6:45 Sunday morning, when I got home, there was more canning to do. When Cam went to bed at about 8pm Sunday night, I followed him and fell right to sleep. I usually do Sunday's With Sue after Cam goes to bed, but last night, the bed was just calling for me.

Enough about me, here is this week's movie quote:

Heats will never be made practical until they can be made unbreakable.

Sunday's With Sue 9/20/9

Shawshank Redemption! Great movie. I get sucked in pretty much every time it's on cable. So, Em got it first! Yay Em! New baby and you won Sunday's With Sue! Dan was next. Dan was actually watching this movie and heard the easy peasy japanesey quote, but Em beat his guess by about 20 minutes! Dad was next, then Matt!

Sorry I didn't do the post until now, but I've been busy. Busy doing what you ask? Busy hanging out with Dave! Yeah, that's right, hanging with Dave. The truck driving school didn't work out, so Dave called me and I picked him up and he's been staying with me the last few days. We went to Cat and Travis', so Dave could hang with them and see Booker. Then today, we went down to Em's and surprised Mom! It was great, the look on Mom's face was priceless. She at first thought I had Cam with me, then she realized it was Dave! Here are a couple of pictures.




Scout took an instant liking to Uncle Dave. And yes, Dave shaved his head last Friday. He looks great! Mom said it was the best day of her life and I really think it was. Dave is heading back to Reno tonight, he is taking the Amtrak back, it leaves around 11:30pm. RandR Donnelly is hiring a couple of pressman in Reno, Dave used to work for them, so he sent them his resume yesterday. He is kind of anxious to get back so he can interview and hopefully start working soon. He is still thinking about getting his CDL, but will probably do that on his own. So yay! We got the reunion we wanted, too bad he can't stick around a couple days longer and see Amy and Matt when they come down. But, I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Dave. He checked out the blog and wants to join.

I'm just going to wait until this Sunday to do a new movie quote, so just sit tight peeps.

Sunday's With Sue 9/13/9

As Good As it Gets! One of my favorite Jack Nicholson roles ever. He is great in this movie. Greg Kinnear is also really good. I normally don't like the romantic comedy type movies, but I really like this one, even though it has Helen Hunt in it.

Dad got it first! All right Dad! You're moving up on the all stars! Cat was next, then Haley, then Emily! B thought it might be Foul Play. Emily's message to me said this, and I quote, "Why oh why did you have to do this movie on my last pregnancy week?" I'll tell you why Em, I thought you would get it right away! I know you love this movie. I thought I'd pick one you'd get easily, in case Tiny E wasn't born yet, then at least you would be happy winning Sunday's With Sue. I had no idea you'd be the last one to guess it Wright.

Here is this week's movie quote:

Sunday's With Sue 8/6/9

Sorry everyone! I meant to do this on Sunday, but I had to work, and when I got home, I kind of forgot. I was busy finishing the laundry and cleanup after the camping trip, (which was great and relaxing, by the way). So yesterday, Cam and I decided we needed to do some canning. We had 60 lbs of tomatoes from our garden! Yes, 60! I weighed them on our bathroom scale. Plus a bunch more cucumbers and hot peppers that needed to be dealt with right away. So, we did a batch of mom's tomato soup, a bunch of salsa and more pickles. My first batch of pickles turned out so good, we decided to do more. I was going to do the SWS post when we were finished canning. So Cam and I got the tomato soup and salsa done, and started on the pickles. Cam had to go to bed around 8pm, so he could leave for St. George at 3:30am, so I was going to finish up the pickles.

Anyway, this is funny. At 11pm last night I was just finishing up the pickles, I had a load of laundry to fold, then I was going to do the SWS post and go to bed. I had all the lids on the pickles, all I needed to do was shake them up a little and put them on the kitchen table. So I get to the very last jar, I shook it and cucumbers and pickle juice, etc went everywhere! I had put the lid on the jar, but not the screw ring thing! I guess I was so tired, I didn't notice. And when I say it went everywhere, I mean everywhere! All over the island, the fridge, the wall and, the load of freshly dried laundry was sitting in a basket by the couch in the living room and it even went through the opening to the kitchen into the laundry basket! This was a quart size jar, and we decided to do pickle chips this time, so there was a lot in that jar. I stood there and couldn't believe what happened. I looked around and all I could see were slices of cucumbers, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, little flakes of dill and pools of vinegar and water. It took me about half an hour to clean up, I had to put the clothes back in the washer, and needless to say, when it was all over, doing the SWS post was the last thing on my mind.

Okay, on to the post. Hamlet! Probably my very favorite Shakespeare play, and a couple of movies have been done too. I picked a picture of Hamlet finding York's skull, because that is one of my favorite scenes. Alas, poor York! I really don't like the movies that much, but I figure most everyone has either seen the play or one of the movies, or so I thought. Dan is the only one who got it Wright! At first he thought it was LA Story, then he guessed Hamlet after the other quotes were posted. Haley guessed A Midsummer's Night Dream, then changed her guess to Romeo and Juliet and Matt guessed Dead Poet's Society. Emily sent me an official non-guess, which I thought was funny. So, way to go Dan! Get ready for some Dan jams this week!

Here is this week's movie quote:

You're a disgrace to depression.

Sunday's With Sue 8/30/9

Grease is the word is the word that you heard....... I went with a movie that is probably on every girl's top 10 favorite movie list, Grease! I probably know every line of this movie by heart, definitely every song by heart. It's also a movie that makes my husband, and probably most husband's, roll their eyes when they catch us watching it on cable. And I forgot to do a Friday quote. Sorry, with Cam coming home on Friday's, I don't really think about hopping on the computer.

Haley guessed first! Way to go Haley! I guess we are all in for some Josh Goblin for the next week. Jeanine got it next, she wasn't sure she was Wright, because Grease doesn't seem like a movie I would pick. But, yes Jeanine, even though I love zombie movies and Quentin Tarantino movies, there is a place in my heart for Grease. Em was next, then Cat. Didn't hear from any of the guys! I guess that isn't a big surprise.

Here is this week's quote:

There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Sunday's With Sue 8/23/09

Jurassic Park! This is such a classic movie! I thought for sure my Friday quote would generate some guesses. But I was wrong! I thought I picked a pretty well known quote from the movie for the Friday quote. Do you know who got it Wright after the second quote? It was Matt! Woo hoo! Way to go little bro! Matt was not only the first person to guess Wright, but the only person! I didn't even get any wrong guesses! I thought for a while that I had stumped you all and you were going to listen to my playlist, but Matt got it. And that's cool, because he probably has a pretty good playlist to listen to this week.

Here is this week's movie quote:

Person #1- He was a real gentleman.

Person #2- There's no such thing.

Sunday's With Sue 8/16/09

Sorry, I fell asleep last night before I could do the post. Guess I was pretty tired after the weekend in St. George. Anyway, Austin Powers International Man of Mystery! I love the Austin Powers movies, Mike Myers cracks me up. I love this first movie, but sometimes find it unwatchable because of Elizabeth Hurley. Her acting is so bad I can hardly stand it. She makes the kids in Gran Torino look like Oscar winners.

I didn't have too many guesses on this one! I thought I would get more than I did. Jeanine got it first! Sorry, Matt, I know you were pretty sure you got it first, but Jeanine beat you by a couple of days. She sent me the answer the very night I posted it. Matt, you got it second, then Em. Em thought it was Dr. Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs at first, then got Austin Powers after the second quote. I thought it was so funny she guessed Dr. Lecter when it was Dr. Evil. I can see either one of them saying that first line. Congrats on the win Jeanine!

Here is this week's movie quiz:

Person #1- You married?

Person #2- Occasionally

Sunday's With Sue 8/9/9

Ace Ventura Pet Detective! Very funny movie, and one of our first introductions to Jim Carrey. I prefer the sequel, the rhinoceros scene is one of the best scenes ever! But this first one is pretty good too. I seem to remember that Matt, Em and Cat seem to especially like this movie.

Speaking of those three, it shouldn't surprise you that Em got it first! Way to go Em! You haven't been first in a while, let alone even been a runner up, haha. I would predict we are all in for some Radiohead! Cat got it right next, then Matt. And that was it! I didn't even get any wrong answers from anyone! Matt, you were pretty sure that you were the only one that could possibly get it right with just the first quote. But, sorry little bro, Em and Cat got it with the first one too! And they got it before you!

Here is this week's movie quote:

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.

Sunday's With Sue 8/2/9

The Godfather! One of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely in my top 10, perhaps even top 5. I've watched it several times and love it more each time I see it. Godfather II is really a great movie too, but Godfather III is pretty hud sauce.

Cat got it first! You weren't sure of your answer, but you got it right! You've won quite a bit since we started the playlist thing. Em was next, she also wasn't too sure about her answer. Dan was next, then Dad!

Here is this week's movie quote:

Man, I'm tired of being right.

Sunday's With Sue

Sorry I didn't get this posted last night. I woke up Saturday morning with a wild hair, and decided to paint my kitchen. That project totally took over my weekend, I was up until almost 1am Sunday night putting on the second coat of primer. Yes, 2 whole days of work and I only have primer on. I forgot how much prep work it takes to paint. No wonder I haven't painted a room since I did the guest room last summer. And I had to work until 7 pm today, so I am now just getting to this.

Anyway, Die Hard! One of the best action movies ever. It is one of those movies I end up watching every time cable shows it. I love this movie. I totally dug the most recent one too. When he hits the helicopter with the car, that was awesome!

Anyway, not too many guesses this week! I know Matt and Dad are dying to know which one got it first. And the winner is......Dad! Way to go Dad! That's 3 wins in the last month or so. Sorry Matt, Dad's email came in at 8:53am and your text came in at 11:22. No one else had a wright guess. Dan thought it might be the Matrix. I'm not trying to pick hard movies!

Here is this week's movie quote:

Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family, can never be a real man.

Sunday's With Sue

Trading Places! I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember it is very funny. Back when Eddie Murphy was funny. So, what was the last good movie Eddie Murphy did? Coming to America? I still think Dan Ackroyd is funny, he doesn't seem to do much lately. But I have heard that all the original actors are on board for a Ghostbusters 3 movie! That should be fun.

So, I think I had more wrong guesses with this movie than any other SWS movie. I'll start with the wrong guesses: Haley thought Bevery Hills Ninja, Jeanine thought Beverly Hills Cop, Matt thought Rush Hour, and Dan thought Stir Crazy. So, who was the first with a wright guess? It was Neaners! She guessed both Beverly Hills Cop and Trading Places in the same message. Dan got it second, then Dad! Way to go Neaners! I hope you sent Em a different playlist, because your nerdy Ipod winning playlist was voted off the blog! I was afraid the Spoons were going to kick some wright butt, but Dad got his answer in this morning. Way to represent Dad!

Here is this week's movie quote:

I'm Agent Johnson, this is Special Agent Johnson. No relation.

Sunday's With Sue

Roseanne! One of the best TV shows that has ever been made. The Roseanne show had a great cast and was so well written. I've watched a lot of episodes lately because Nick at Nite has been doing Roseanne marathons. I'm not a fan of the post lottery win seasons, but the shows up to that story line are classic. Sorry Dad, I won't do TV shows often. Here is a little tie-in with last week's Sunday's with Sue. The guy that played Danny in Caddyshack, was Fred in Roseanne!

Cat guessed first! So we are in for more Conor! (Hey, that was the last name of the family on Roseanne!) Emily was second to get it right, and that was it. Haley guessed Seinfeld and Dan thought it might be Family guy.

Here is this week's quote from a movie:

You think you hate it now, wait'll you drive it!

Sunday's With Sue

Caddyshack! Definitely a Wright family classic, although you wouldn't know that based on the amount of guesses I got! Sorry, I didn't do a Friday quote. I totally forgot, it's been a busy weekend for me. I will try to do better remembering the Friday quotes. I watched this movie recently and it brought back a lot of childhood memories. And Ted Knight is just the best. Watch it if you haven't seen it in a while.

Dan guessed first, then Jeanine, then Cat! That was it. Way to go Spoons! You totally kicked some Wright butt.

I'm changing it up this week and doing a quote from a TV show:

Person #1- Oh man, we're screwed.

Person #2- No, we are so far beyond screwed that the light from screwed will take one billion years to reach earth.
