Saw It In The Movies Tag

We were kindly tagged by the wonderful Hamlette's Solioquy to do this tag and I can proudly say that I am FINALLY doing it! (After Irene nagged me for over a month...Sorry...😇)

The rules:

• Pick at least 3 things that you have done from a movie. It can be any movie, anything you did.
• Tell how the event worked out.
• Link back to the tag's creator and the person who tagged you.
• Have fun.
• Tag 4 people.
• Use the header.'

Sooooo, the first thing that came to both Irene and my mind (minds?) when we were discussing things we actually tried to do, rather than just a line we use all the time (there are a ton!), we both thought of that scene from that episode in Happy Days where Fonzie's cousin breaks a world record for flipping coins off his elbow and catching them in his hand. After seeing that episode we naturally tried it and I managed to catch up to four quarters! (Really impressive, I know)

Short disclaimer, we actually don't watch Happy Days really but a while ago we watched a whole season and had a lot of fun with it. So yeah. (The theme song is AMAZING!)

The second thing we do a lot and waited months for the perfect opportunity is from 'The Great Escape' (only one of the greatest movies oooooon EARTH!). In the movie they're tunneling in the washroom and the German soldiers are coming to check up on them. A couple of guys who are from a different barracks have pre-meditated excuses for being there. Charles Bronson who plays Danny says he came to take a shower, James Coburn who plays Sedgwig says he's a 'lifeguard' (obviously very sarcastic but he can't get in trouble for it) and lastly John Leyton who plays Willie shrugs with the most innocent expression ever and says, "Mopping up!" in his perfectly adorable British way. Anyway, we waited forever until the perfect opportunity arose at soup kitchen. Someone had spilled something and I so graciously volunteered to mop it up. Irene then came into the kitchen, saw the once in a lifetime opportunity, and seized it saying, "What are you doing?". I of course then answered in a spot on John Leyton impersonation that I did not spend hours perfecting in front of a mirror, "Mopping up!"

"Mopping up!"

And last but certainly not least, comes the 'overreacting story'. At one point - quite some time ago now - Irene and I were talking about our sister that had done something and I said "The point is she's clearly overreacting!" and at that instance I knew that it had come from somewhere. Even the way I said it sparked some sort of remembrance but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Neither could Irene. So naturally all day we were torturing ourselves trying to figure out where it came from and finally, at around midnight, I remembered!

Naturally I had to tell Irene but thankfully she too was awake so no heads were severed that dark night 😁

And there you have it, three things we did because we saw it in a movie! As a bonus I will add some lines we say WAY too often.

1) "Come on, we gotta help!" - Mulan

    

2) "Mr. Donovan, I gotta go." - The Apple Dumpling Gang

    

3) "Always make you mad, don't I John T.!" (You know, the way the girl says it) - Rio Bravo

    

4) Aaaaaaand pretty much anything 'Riley' from the National Treasure movies says.

   

Well that's all for today folks! You're suppose tag 4 people but the sad truth is we don't really know 4 people sooooo...yeah...😁 If you enjoyed the tag then you can go ahead and give it a try as well! Have a great rest of your day 😎😊
