Hey everyone, to celebrate my new moderator-ship of this tribe, I'm bringing back a classic thread that was deleted by the previous mod. And I've seen a lot of great new movies these past six months with my lovely movie-loving wife, Loaf! (Our house is overflowing with infiltrating movie lines...)

First, from 'Idiocracy'

"You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square."

"It's got elecrolytes. It's what plants crave."

"Go away ... 'baitin'!"

      Scarface, 1983. Various trenchant observations by Tony on politics, economic theory, the nature of success and what the US is really all about…

      Tony Montana: I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice.

      Tony Montana: In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

      Tony Montana: This is paradise, I'm tellin' ya. This place is like a great big pussy just waiting to get fucked.

      Tony Montana: You wanna waste my time? Okay. I call my lawyer. He's the best lawyer in Miami. He's such a good lawyer, that by tomorrow morning, you gonna be working in Alaska. So dress warm.

      Tony Montana: I didn't come to the United States to break my fucking back.

      Tony Montana: You know what capitalism is? Getting fucked!

      We got lots from the "Lord of the Rings" movies.

      Remember the scene toward the end of RotK, when Frodo's hanging from the ledge and Sam is trying to get him not to fall?
      Anytime Loaf or I need to get something from just beyond our arm distance, the other one says, "Reeeach!"

    "The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it."

        Pretty much any bit of dialogue from "Murder By Death", but these two exchanges especially:

        Sidney Wang: What that?
        [points to large cage in wall]
        Jamesir Bensonmum: Oh, it's nothing, sir. Just the cat.
        [loud barking and growling issues from cage]
        Sidney Wang: That cat? You feed cat dog food?
        Jamesir Bensonmum: I'm afraid it's a very angry cat, sir. Mr. Twain had it "fixed," when it didn't want to be.

        and:

        Dora Charleston: I don't understand. Why would anybody want to steal a dead, naked body?
        Dick Charleston: Well, dear, there are people who, um...
        [whispers rest into her ear]
        Dora Charleston: Oh, that's tacky! That's REALLY tacky!


        There's just something about the way Maggie Smith says "tacky" that makes me happy to be alive.

    The Year of Living Dangerously, 1982.

    Linda Hunt co-stars as a male photographer, Billy Kwan, attached to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Jakarta office chronicling the pivotal events in the formation of modern Indonesia. In a rare dry moment of the film, giving voice to a distinction rarely verbalized with any clarity...

    Billy Kwan: "If it's in focus, it's pornography, if it's out of focus, it's art."

    Many small quotes from an obscure gem called Pass the Ammo, in which Tim Curry plays a crooked Arkansas televangelist. Such as:

    "There's =always= a way to amortize your losses." (Spoken by Curry's character to one of the criminals holding him hostage, as they discuss financial portfolios).

    "Wind took it." (Spoken by one of the townsfolk to her son, as she watches the trajectory of the mortar shell they just fired at the church - you really have to see this movie).

    And, from I (heart) Huckabees:

    "What African guy?"
    "Exactly!"

    "You're clever...how's that working for you?"
    Fight Club (silly movie, great quote)

    "We're gonna have to pump your stomach."
    "Do I have to be there?"
    Postcards from the Edge

    "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
    Godfather (I know, I know...they hijacked the quote from Sun-Tzu and it's become cliche, but it's still cool... and true)

    Another done-to-death Godfather quote:
    "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

    "Never underestimate the power of denial."
    American Beauty

    " If there's one thing I know it's never mess with Mother Nature, mother-in-laws, or mother-freakin' Ukrainians. "-"The Italian Job". I sometimes remind my friend about this one, since she's part Ukrainian...

    " Now, let's go out there, and meet some great contestants. And I don't just mean talented, I mean human. And by human, I mean flawed, and by flawed, I mean freaks...bring me some freaks. "-Hugh Grant, in "American Dreamz"

    " People that talk in metaphors oughta' shampoo my crotch. "- Jack Nicholson, in "As Good as it Gets". I have to remind myself about this one all the time, since I tend to express myself mainly through metaphors...

    " WHEN U'VE GOT THEM BY THE BALLS...their hearts are meant to follow. "-Lara Flynn Boyle,in " Land of the Blind "-this quote kills!

    " With the birth of the artist came the inevitable afterbirth: the critic "-Mel Brooks,in "History of the World"

    All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not. ~Tyler Durden

    But first you have to give up. First, you have to know, not fear, know that someday you are going to die. Until you know that, you are useless.
    ~Tyler Durden

    Without Pain, without Sacrifice, we would have NOthing!
    ~Jack

    Alabama: Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

    You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."

    -- Lauren Bacall, "To Have And To Have Not"
