Thoughts on Teen Wolf

"This is a full dress rehearsal. We need to see the wolf. So wolf out, uh, wolf up, wolf it, whatever you do, uh, pronto amigo."

"Uh, Mr. Lolley, uh, I've been doing some thinking and I decided I'd rather play the part as me. Well, play it, play it as myself."

"That ... that wouldn't be theatre, would it? See, no one wants to see you."

The Best and Worst of 1989

Well, here we are folks. The present end of The Films of 1989. 

There were several movies I didn’t get around to seeing and I hope to correct a few oversights when I assemble my inevitable book, but I feel confident enough to give my Best and Worst Awards.

Thoughts on Tango & Cash

*Tango (Sylvester Stallone) and Cash (Kurt Russell) have been arguing while taking a private shower in prison. Cash gets out of Tango's sight.*

"What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you ...?"

"Relax. ... *grabs what he needs* Soap. And don't flatter yourself ... peewee."

"I don't know you that well. ... Don't worry, Cash, some day the other one will drop."

"*laughing* Attaboy, tripod. You just keep talking."

"Sure thing, Minnie Mouse."

"Hello, Dorinda. I'm right here. I'm sitting here ... right beside you ... I know you can't see me ... but ... I can see you. I can see your hair, it's almost in your ... "

*Dorinda pushes the hair out of her face*

"That's my girl. You're still my girl, aren't you? I thought so. God, I wish we'd met sooner. I wish we'd met when we were five. I'd have swept you right off your three-wheeler. You've still got a funny face. I can't believe how much I miss you. I miss you ... like it was a thousand years. I remember everything. I remember things I'd forgotten. Like ... from the first second I met you ... when you were sitting alone in that restaurant ... and I looked at you and I said, 'That's her. That's the one.' Do you remember? I walked up to you and I said ..."

"You're the reason I'm here. Ted Baker, Wing 'n' a Prayer."

Thoughts on Roger & Me

I barely know these people, and I hate them. Sentiment I suspect Michael Moore would encourage.

"So this was GM Chairman Roger Smith. He appeared to have a brilliant plan. First, close 11 factories in the U.S., then open 11 in Mexico, where you pay the workers 70 cents an hour. Then, use the money you saved by building cars in Mexico to take over other companies, preferably high tech firms and weapons manufacturers. Next, tell the union you're broke and they happily agree to give back a couple billion dollars in wage cuts. You then take that money from the workers and eliminate their jobs, by building more foreign factories. Roger Smith was a true genius."

"Sometimes I wish, I wish I'd - The first time I got hit, I was shot in the foot. I could have laid down, I mean - who gives a fuck now if I was a hero or not? I was paralyzed, castrated that day; why? It was all so - stupid! I'd have my dick and my balls now, and some days, Timmy - some days I think I'd give everything I believe in - everything I got, all my values, just to have my body back again, just to be whole again. But I'm not whole; I never will be, and that's - that's the way it is, isn't it?"

" ... For Christ's sake, Ronnie, it's your birthday. You're alive. You made it! Smile."

"You fought very well yesterday, Trip. Sgt. Rawlins has recommended that you receive a commendation."

"Yes, sir?"

"Yes. And I think you should bear the regimental colors." 

"No."

"It's considered quite an honor. Why not?"

"Well, I'm ... wanting to say something, sir. But I ..."

"Go ahead."

"All right. See ... I ain't fighting this war for you, sir."

"You know your letters, don't you?"

"Oh, yes, ma'am, I know my ABCs pretty good. I just can't read."

"Stop saying that. You're making me mad. If you know your letters than you can read. You just don't know you can read."

"Ma'am?" 

"I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on the face of the earth and all of them could read enough to find a name on a tombstone."

*Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy) proceeds to help Hoke (Morgan Freeman) figure out the beginning and ending letters in "Bauer." He finds the tombstone. She's proud of him.*

"It seems like if you're a woman, there's just no justice in the world."

"Well, I always found that justice serves those who serve themselves."

*Oliver (Michael Douglas) has tricked Barbara (Kathleen Turner) by pulling away the Japanese carving she outbid him for at the auction where they met as young people*

"Na na na na na na."

"You are a jerk."

"Tell you what: you say it's mine and you can have everything in this house."

"Okay. It's mine."

Thoughts on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

They didn't need words. They had faces.

Thoughts on Back to the Future Part II

"Think about it. If you go into the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future!"

"So, Back to the Future's a bunch of bullshit?"

Thoughts on The Little Mermaid

Fifteen years ago this summer, most of my classmates and I went camping. It was a tradition at our school, a trip for the incoming juniors, led by the anatomy teacher. He was our answer to Jack Nicholson, but that's beside the point. Every night, a lot of us would end up singing by the fire, mostly not giving a damn how we sounded. 

Well, one night, somebody suggested "Part of Your World." The mood changed immediately. You haven't lived until you've heard a tribe of teenagers (including me) doing our best to imitate Jodi Benson's vocals.

Thoughts on Steel Magnolias

"I have to tell you, your nephew Marshall is a little piece of heaven right here on Earth."

"They're family and I love them, but they do look like they've all been carved out of cream cheese."

*Clairee shares phony smiles with Marshall's family*

"Clairee, I'm surprised at you, talking about your kin that way."

"As somebody always said, 'If you can't say anything nice about anybody, come sit by me.'"

"How was your date?"

"I killed her."

"Ah, tore the ***** up, huh?"

"No, man, I killed her."

"What the fuck you talking about?"

"I shot her, man."

"Hmm. ... Was the ***** that bad, man?"

"Charlie?"

"What?"

"Do you think you could help me find a mommy and a daddy?"

"Kid, I'll help you find the lost city of Atlantis! Just please, please go to sleep!"

"Was that a gun?"

"Probably. This is America."

Thoughts on Henry V

"Herald, are the dead numbered?"

"Here is the number of the slaughtered French."

*a weary Henry views the information as his soldiers listen*

"This note doth tell me of ... 10,000 French that in the field lie slain. Of princes in this number, 126. Added to these, of knights, esquires and gallant gentlemen, 8,400, of the which 500 were but yesterday dubbed knights. Here was a royal fellowship of death."

Oh yeah, this is a hot, hot couple. Seriously, if you didn't know them from Adam, wouldn't you think it's a brother and sister at the movies?
