Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

One line I am using more often since seeing the movie recently is from Day of the Dead:

"All I'm getting from you is a mouthful of greek salad!"

It makes no sense, but I love it anyway.

Graham Chapman : 'You're all individuals'
Crowd : 'YES! WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS'
Voice : 'Er, I'm not...'

Jackie Susann

Revive!

From Some like it hot

Joe: But you're not a girl. You're a guy. Why would a guy want to marry a guy?
Jerry: Security.

From Harvey

Elwood: Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me.

Some quotes from my favourite movie, The Ninth Gate:

Baroness Kessler: My latest work: "The Devil: History and Myth" - a kind of biography. It will be published next year.
Dean Corso: Why the devil?
Baroness Kessler: [laughs] I saw him one day. I was fifteen years old, and I saw him as plain as I see you now. It was love at first sight.
Dean Corso: Three hundred years ago, you would have been burned alive for saying something like that, Baroness!
BARONESS KESSLER: Three hundred years ago I wouldn´t have said it. (they laugh)...
Nor would I have made a million by writing about it.

Even Hell has its heroes, señor.

Nothing is more reliable than a man whose loyalties can be bought with hard cash.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

For some reason I've had this line from Hellboy in my head all day:

"Hell will hold no surprises for us, my love."

Hellboy, great! And your quote reminds me of:

"Will Heaven be like Swansea, Edward?"
"Yes, Tubbs. Only...bigger."

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

This bit from Lost in Translation has been in my head today. It sums up my life.

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Johnny Mnemonic is not one of the highlights of modern cinema. However, there is one section that's a highlight; the Keanu Reeves catharsis moment.

For instance;

"Listen. You listen to me. You see that city over there? THAT'S where I'm supposed to be. Not down here with the dogs, and the garbage, and the fucking last month's newspapers blowing *back* and *forth*. I've had it with them, I've had it with you, I've had it with ALL THIS - *I want ROOM SERVICE*! I want the club sandwich, I want the cold Mexican beer, I want a $10,000-a-night hooker! I want my shirts laundered... like they do... at the Imperial Hotel... in Tokyo"

It has to be seen, pretty much, to be believed.

Triplets

"Neck twisting, face breaking punch!" Fist of the North Star.

The most ridiculous 'bad ass' line in kung-fistory.

Triplets

18:37 / 06.09.06

And yet he completely delivers. Necks receive twistages. Faces are, indeed, broken.

Triplets

18:39 / 06.09.06

the Keanu Reeves catharsis moment.

One can almost touch the face of Shatner while that scene plays.

Triplets

18:43 / 06.09.06

Neck twisting, face breaking post!

MacReady: Why don't we just wait here for a little while... see what happens?

Final lines from The Thing, 1982. SO YES. Spoken while the last two survivors (from a crew of like 20) of a shapeshifting alien invader slowly freeze to death in the Antartic snow. Neither of them know if the other is the alien. And neither do we. Beautiful.

Feverfew

Oh, and the love for Fear and Loathing is something I'd like to continue, in the quiet reflective mode when Thompson / Duke / Depp stares out the window and says;

"And that, I think, was the handle - -that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - -on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - -the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back."

Brings an odd shiver to my back, sometimes, that does.

Prof. Brian O'Blivion: After all, there is nothing real outside our perception of reality, is there? You can see that can't you?

Videodrome, baby. David Cronenberg's my total old guy crush.

This quote - only because it seems to crop up again and again at work *8-).

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." - Ripley in Aliens.

"It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Let's go."
The Blues Brothers, because I wish I was that cool.

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"
Gone With The Wind, because Scarlett had it coming.

"Tis a flesh wound!"
Monty Python, just because.

"First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette..."
Donnie Darko, because I have actually had conversations like that.

Every David Bowie line from Labyrinth, because it's David Bowie.
