My life is a movie script

[Babette]

Ok, so just about everything I hear reminds me of a line from a movie. Anyone else living like this? What has happened in your life today that echos a Nora Ephron encounter, Harrison Ford adventure, Audrey Hepburn romance, Jets v. Sharks rumble, National Lampoon raucous, Al Pacino monologue, Von Trapp sing-a-long, John Hughes angst or degree of Kevin Bacon?

Insert favorite movie quotes here...

[Not Afraid]

Put on your seatbelts, its going to be a bumpy night! All About Eve

(Story of my life. ;) )

[€uroMeinke]

Broken Ladder

Until the End of the World

[€uroMeinke]

Monkey Boy

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

[Ghoulish Delight]

The Simpsons. Almost nothing happens that can't be summed up by a Simpsons quote.

[Not Afraid]

Two dollars. I want my $2. (I said this not 1/2 hour ago.)

Better Off Dead

[NirvanaMan]

Simpsons did it.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Mallrats
Stoned Age
South Park
Better off Dead ("You like raisins")
Fast Times

[wendybeth]

Doh!


Virtually every time we go on vacation, whenever something goes wrong, I think of this line: "Help! We've gone on holiday by mistake!" (Withnail & I) .

[€uroMeinke]

"Hey, Columbo"

Wings of Desire

[Gemini Cricket]

"All About Eve" ~ "While you wait you can read my column. It'll make minutes fly like hours."

"Absolutely Fabulous" ~ "She's so anally retentive she wouldn't sit down for fear of sucking up the furniture."

"South Park" ~ "Gay people, well, gay people are EVIL, evil right down to their cold black hearts which pump not blood like yours or mine, but rather a thick, vomitous oil that oozes through their rotten veins and clots in their pea-sized brains which becomes the cause of their Nazi-esque patterns of violent behavior. Do you understand?"

"The Simpsons" ~
Homer:"I love you, Pepsi."
Pepe: "Pepe."
Homer: "Pepe."

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" ~ "Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you."

"Auntie Mame" ~ "Please dear, your Auntie Mame is hung."

"The Women" ~ "There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society, outside of a kennel."

"The Philadelphia Story" ~ "Oh, we're going to talk about me again, are we? Goody."

Pink is my signature color
looks like two pigs fighting under a blanket
"these thighs haven't left the house without lycra since I was 16"
"that's becayse you were raised right"~~Steel Magnolias

Catch Ya Later
It'd be cooler if you did~~Dazed and Confused (Aaron watch the damn movie)

Alot from
Grease(watch it Aaron, watch the damn movie)
Fast Times(Do I need to say it a third time?)
Clueless

[blueerica]

Oh gosh, if I can't place parts of my life with direct quotes, it certainly seems as though parts of my life and moments belong in a movie.. somewhere!

Little Shop of Horrors
Clerks - "Dante: I'm not even supposed to be here today!" "Dante: But you hate people. Randal: Yes, but I love gatherings. Isn't it ironic?"

(The more I think of this, I could plug in Kevin Smith at ANY point, and find something I representative)

OK I'm tired...

Where's that movie where the person finally gets back to sleep?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

"Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass." Cordelia Chase, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

TV show. Not a movie. But whatever.

[blueerica]

I loved Cordy!

"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me."
:D

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I loved Cordy!

Me, too. At least when she was on Buffy, and the first couple of seasons of Angel. Then her character sort of took a turn for the worse...the unfunny. She could have grown as a person, become nicer, and still kept some of her bite, no?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me."
:D

Ah, Dorothy Parker....

[Claire]

Aw, also from Steel Magnolias.....I say this in different forms ALL. THE. TIME:

Shelby: "I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special."

I even wrote it to a member of the school board describing why we moved to an excellent school, even though we knew it was on the chopping block. It's how I feel about pretty much everything!!

I think what goes through my mind the most is a line from Seinfeld:

I hate people. Yeah, they're the worst!

[SacTown Chronic]

"You are the ones who are the ball-lickers." ~ Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

For months after that movie came out that line was flung back and forth between me and some gal pals. Love that line.

[blueerica]

Yes! Great line from J&SB!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I've always found Mallrats to be the most quoteable with classics like:

"A schooner is a sailboat, stupid head!"
"I have no respect for people with no shopping agenda."
"They're retarded for each other."
and, of course,
"You hit me in the frikken tit!"

HAHA!! Yes,... but of course, I grew up around no malls... We did have convenience stores and video stores, at which the former, I was employed, and the latter, my two best friends were employed. Oh.. Thems was good times..

[blueerica]

Thinking of movie quotes from high school....

Pulp Fiction.

While I actually quote it less than I used to, so many times, the lines run through my head. Like when I'm agitated, but feeling generous, but decide to be a little cruel anyway:

Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fvcking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this sh|t while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much sh|t this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.

And this:

The Wolf: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

And this, which has zero application, except I think of it when rolling past a McD's or BK:

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fvck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale" with cheese.
Jules: A "Royale" with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "le Big-Mac".
Jules: "Le Big-Mac". Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.

Claire's (http://www.xenarchy.com/LoT/showthread.php?p=6453#post6453) post over in the I'll Never Understand Thread made me think of this quote from "The Cutting Edge":

"Naked male insecurities really leave me cold."

Moira Kelly to her fiance and skating partner (DB Sweeney) who are verballing sparring for her affections.

It is totaly not related to what she said, nor is it related to my life right now. The statement just made me think of that quote.

[dsnylndmom]

"If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me."
:D

That dear sir is my MOTTO!!!

I can't believe I forgot that one! You're my movie line hero GC! :snap:

[dsnylndmom]

Oh and also "it's guuuuuuuuuud" only to make certain people giggle ;)

I know I am not the only person that :Giggles: when I hear her say this. And I know I am not the only one who now says that line ALL the time, thanks to Tina. ;)

I've said it as recently as last week. I yelled it at the tv a few times during a certain inauguration.


I'm such a child.

What I say everytime I trip (which is often)......"Toe pick".

[Claire]

What I say everytime I trip (which is often)......"Toe pick".
I say "Toe pick" all the time....not just when I trip. :snap: One of my favorite teeny tiny movie lines ever.

Twice now I've gotten to say, "I don't roll on Shabbos!!" from The Big Lebowski. Of course, I'm the only one who gets it....and then I bowl anyway. :rolleyes:

Heehee, and I got to pull this one out of the vault last week: "I'm applying to Oxford and the Sorbonne. Harvard's my safety." One of the pub theaters has played Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and this week it's Tannenbaums......they're building up to Life Aquatic. I missed Rushmore, but I got to catch Bottle Rocket on the big screen again and I'm going to see Tannenbaums on Monday night with some friends. We've been trying to see the movies in order and together.....but I messed up the Rushmore week. But got to say my line anyway. :nerd:
