Calling all movie geeks...

[stoney321]

Flipped thru the channels and Pretty In Pink was on.  Made me think of all the horrible dialogue that ruined perfectly OK movies.  Now I want to compile a list, so here we go.  (Based on dialogue's ability to make you laugh out loud, and not in a good way, or start punching people to make them feel the pain, too.)

No order.
1. " I didn't stop believing in you.  You stopped believing in me,"  Blain, from Pretty In Pink.  What??  YOU dumped HER, you prick!!  However, seeing her "dress" I would have dumped her, too.

2. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner," Dirty Dancing, just truly a terrible movie.

3. "That's my brother, goddammit!  That's - my - brother!"  Kurt Russell, from Backdraft. Laughed so hard at that one.

4.  "Work, you sonofabitch!" Mathew McConnahey, from U-571 What a horrible tribute to pay to those men from WWII.  ANd pretty much anytime someone yells at machinery with a command to stop being broken.

5. "She's too much computer for you," Angelina Jolie from Hackers.  Or any line from this clunker.  You can see her boob job, BTW.  Watch the swimming scene in the end.  She wears a biker top and is totally flat, then you can see the reshoot when her shirt is filled out.  Have to say, saw Gia, and those are some mighty fine boobies she done bought herself.  BTW, there is nothing wrong with store-bought boobies.

6. "You wants tuh lay wif me?" Okay.  Technically not a big cinema production, this is from North and South and it is so over the top, that my family repeats this at holidays.

7. Anytime JarJar Binks opens his idiotic/racist mouth.  "Meesa?"  Are you fucking kidding me with this?

8. Anything that comes out of Joey Lauren Adams' mouth.  Baby talk with a whiskey tone.  Eeewwww.  "I sucked him off while [??] fucked me in the ass!!  Is that what you wanted to hear?"  I have to say, I do a killer impression of this scene that gets a spit-take from my husband every time.

So?  Agree?  Disagree?  Got anything to add?  Think of stuff that pisses you off when you hear it, it's as painful as watching the universe die.

"We found the baby shark INSIDE the park. The mother shark is INSIDE
the park!" --female protagonist, opposite Dennis Quaid and Lou Gossett
Jr in "JAWS 3 in 3-D". Because, as everyone knows, sharks are known for
their maternal instincts, and they will avenge their pups' deaths.
"Smile you son of a bitch!" --Roy Scheider in "Jaws 2".
"There are a dozen good broodmares in the bunch. I'll be back for
them...and for whatever else is mine!" --Tom Burlinson in "The Man From
Snowy River" as he takes a sidelong glance at the woman he desires but
is forbidden to have because he's a lowly mountain boy.
"Stay alive, no matter what occurs! I WILL find you!"--Daniel Day Lewis
in "The Last Of The Mohicans.
"Suck...my...dick!" --Demi Moore in "G.I. Jane".

That entire film is a horror, and an insult to the hundreds of men and women who dedicated their lives to Enigma, in England. It is an insult to Alan Turing, the Royal Navy, and the General Post Office. The Americans have plenty of battle stories; they could do without rewriting ours.

Here, here.

The whole Enigma code and it's discovery is such an amazing tale. I think I scowled through the whole picture. Know what else pissed me off? "Windtalkers." The use of the Navajo language as code was amazing, and they turned it into some horrible Hollywood machine. Fortunately the public saw through it. (My family is Native American, so I get on a soapbox easily... Climbing down now!)

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner,"


*gag reflex*

I'll tell you where you can put her!

I actually saw that movie on a blind date.

I cringe everytime I think of that godawful flick... Painful movie. Not so Bad that I can watch and giggle, like, say... Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with the nasty Helen Hunt and her fat elbows. (And Sarah JP is NOT a better dancer than the blonde couple that rocks out. She just does flips and cartwheels!!! And that movie has hysterical product placement: Shannon Doherty, post Little House on the Prairie, sitting in a tree, clapping and holding a Pepsi. Ha!)
Wait. What were we talking about?

How about: you moved the headstones but you left the boooodieeees!
