Okay gang so I'm sitting here waiting on the newest deal to drop and got to thinking. Why don't we pass the time posting some of our favorite movies quotes.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
"But okay, say God provided the ram. So what? Once Abraham raised the knife, in his heart it was as if he'd killed him. He could never forget that. And neither could Isaac. Look at him: he's traumatized, he's a putz for the rest of his life. By the end he can't tell Jacob from Esau...."
The attached is a picture of part of one of my cube walls. Note the two things I turn to for affirmation/clarification throughout the day: Bill (lower left) reminding me that I'm awesome and Westley (upper right) as the Dread Pirate Roberts reminding me that I'll be disappointed.
I do as a matter of fact point these truths out to others as well (and more that they're awesome than that I am; I think I've only ever pointed out that truth about myself when someone else had already gone there: "You're awesome." "Yep [pointing to sign], that's what they tell me.")
@joelmw - My teacher asked me what was the capital of North Carolina - I said "Washington, D.C.", and she said "NO! You're wrong!!" I said "You got a lumpy butt!" She got mad at me and yelled at me and I I pissed in my pants. And I never did change my pee pants allllll day. I'm still sittin' in my dirty pee pants.
From the movie Convoy, in answer to why the lead character is called Rubber Duck: "Because it rhymes with "luck." See, my daddy always told me to be just like a duck. Stay smooth on the surface and paddle like the devil underneath!"
@jsh139 that movie scared the crap out of me as a child. First the traumatizing Artax scene and then the valley with the statues that shoot lasers and blow people up if they're not pure.
@TheVertigo@JonT@jsh139 It is rather intense. This makes me feel better for having liked it as a college student (yaknow, since I am literally decades older than some of you).
@TheVertigo@JonT@jsh139 'Cause here's the deal: it's about nothing less than oblivion, staring into the void, confronting the potentiality of nothingness. This is a kid's movie?
@JonT@joelmw I remember liking it as a child so I wanted to show it to my kids. I thought I had better re-watch it first in case there were any really scary parts. NO WAY will my kids be watching this. They'll be up all night for weeks worrying about animals dying, statues shooting them with lasers, and the world turning into nothingness!
@jsh139 Yeah, I read Grimm and the Bible (the actual text, not the nicified kiddie version) as a kid, and probably some sci fi that my parents shouldn't have let me. I've been contemplating the destruction of the known universe since about the age of 5. I mean, not as a project, just as an unavoidable eventuality.
@joelmw " I've been contemplating the destruction of the known universe since about the age of 5. I mean, not as a project, just as an unavoidable eventuality." I wanted to upvote that 3x.
What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.
"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony"
@jsh139 I was alone, lonely and a little spooked when I first watched Darko. I was afraid it was a horror flick, which, ultimately I don't think it is. And, really, it's kinda hopeful. But it had me there for much of my first viewing. Now it all seems kinda sweet, even the parts that unnerved me the first time, because I see where it's going.
@joelmw have you watched it with the director's commentary (I really liked it, it's the director with Kevin Smith even though he had nothing to do with the movie)? It kind of changes it into an entirely different movie. Feel free to make up your own mind about how you interpret it but basically the director intended for Donnie to be a super hero. The axe in the bulldog statue, the fire, the flooding, are all Donnie using his 'powers.' Either way I like the movie a lot.
@JonT I'm not totally sure. But Donnie is absolutely a super hero. He's damn near Jesus (you could say that he's definitely the Jesus of his microcosm). And Darko is one of my favorite movies.
"There's just one thing I don't understand. The thing I don't understand, is every motherfuckin' word you're saying." -- Forest Whitaker in 'The Limey' (great movie)
"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum." - Rowdy Roddy Piper in 'They Live'
@petrosclark I've never actually seen that movie, but that scene made me literally LOL at work. "Oh, there's just something funny about the recent drive migration, that's all." Anyway, I'm guessing there may be no need to see the movie now.
"You're a very strange man." "You have no idea." Reversal of Fortune
The Princess Bride and Aliens have so many great quotes that rarely a gaming session goes by witout one of them being employed. But there are a lot of great loose quotes and this is one of my favorites. It neatly summarizes the film's basic premise, that the very rich are a breed unto themselves.
RASCZAK: You! Tell me the moral difference, if any, between the citizen and a civilian? JOHNNY: . A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic, defending it with his life. The civilian does not.
RASCZAK: The exact words of the text. But do you understand it? Do you believe it?
JOHNNY: Uh, I don't know.
RASCZAK: Of course you don't. I doubt if any of you here would recognize 'civic virtue' if it bit you in the ass.

"Ezekiel 25:17:

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
@jsh139 And not even biblical text.
@joelmw This is true.
Mickey Bergman: "Don't you want to hear my last words?"
Joe Moore: "I just did."

@somf69
"Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
@JonT Well, that's what I heard!
"Any famous last words?"
"Not yet."
"Not yet? Is that famous?"
@conandlibrarian Do you know what a plethora is?
I am a cop you idiot!!!
@Thumperchick Pretty boys. Seem familiar but can't place the downcast faces. What is this from?
@moondrake The Boondock Saints. Great movie.
@jsh139 I've heard of it but don't think I have seen that film. I will look for it on Netflix.
"But okay, say God provided the ram. So what? Once Abraham raised the knife, in his heart it was as if he'd killed him. He could never forget that. And neither could Isaac. Look at him: he's traumatized, he's a putz for the rest of his life. By the end he can't tell Jacob from Esau...."
Young Danny, The Believer
Sigh. I hate that either no one has seen this movie or no one loves it as much as I do.
And let's just say most of the rest of Princess Bride.
@joelmw anybody want a peanut?
@JonT No more rhyming; I mean it.
@joelmw Yeah, I was going to say, all the dialogue from the Princess Bride and Aliens. "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

"I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party."
@joelmw Shake-n-bake, baby.
@jsh139 What does that do, does that blow your mind? That just happened!
@joelmw - My teacher asked me what was the capital of North Carolina - I said "Washington, D.C.", and she said "NO! You're wrong!!" I said "You got a lumpy butt!" She got mad at me and yelled at me and I I pissed in my pants. And I never did change my pee pants allllll day. I'm still sittin' in my dirty pee pants.
@joelmw He's not your messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
"We don't need no stinking badges." Accurate for Blazing Saddles, or misquote from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, you chose.
Wait, I'm torn. Maybe it's Yoda's response to Luke.
Luke: "I won't fail you. I'm not afraid."
Yoda: "You will be. You... will... be."

@TheVertigo I watched this the other day and was horrified that the horse drowned. I must have blocked it out when I saw TNES as a child.
@jsh139 that movie scared the crap out of me as a child. First the traumatizing Artax scene and then the valley with the statues that shoot lasers and blow people up if they're not pure.

@moondrake Aw, thanks. :-) The scary thing is that it's totally true.
@joelmw So, like, as a hobby? I'm constantly bemused by comparing my childhood to people around me, and current kids lives. Stark contrast.
What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk.

"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony"
@Teripie "Now we see the violence inherent in the system" and "It's a mere flesh wound" but, yeah, this one's good too. :-)
Best scene of the movie, IMO.
@jsh139 "What's a fuck ass?" :-D
@jsh139 But for best line, I'd go with "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
@joelmw Creepiest line: "Wake up Donnie". Gives me chills.
@jsh139 I was alone, lonely and a little spooked when I first watched Darko. I was afraid it was a horror flick, which, ultimately I don't think it is. And, really, it's kinda hopeful. But it had me there for much of my first viewing. Now it all seems kinda sweet, even the parts that unnerved me the first time, because I see where it's going.
@joelmw I saw The Butterfly Effect first and had read online that it was similar to DD, so I saw it kind of knowing what to expect.
@joelmw have you watched it with the director's commentary (I really liked it, it's the director with Kevin Smith even though he had nothing to do with the movie)? It kind of changes it into an entirely different movie. Feel free to make up your own mind about how you interpret it but basically the director intended for Donnie to be a super hero.
