OT: What's the strangest line said that you heard in a box office movie?

[nwhoopfan]

If I didn't go with this one, I would've gone with "it doesn't take a good actor to recognize a bad one. You're sweating."

"By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged."

 

[CL82]

"By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged."

Also a good choice. Although I think I would've gone with the one where he says by Granthar's hammer... these are great prices!

That's one of those movies where you can easily pick out a half dozen fun quotes.

My family just watched the three best versions of P&P -- BBC 1980ish, Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, and Keira Knightley and Matthew Mcfaddyn. I haven't read the book in probably 10 years, maybe when I'm recovering from upcoming surgery. I try to read that along with Persuasion, S&S, and Northanger Abbey every five years or so, the meatier ones less often.

Oh, I think Lizzie said this when her aunt and uncle were taking taking her to the Lake District, not too long after an encounter with the "last man she'd ever marry."

Mary said it. You are right about the timing though. Lizzie was really a modern woman and that is the brilliance of her characterization, that Ms. Austen could conceive of such a character, perhaps based on the author herself, some 150 years before the so named women's lib movement even began. There is an unfinished novel of hers on Netflix called Sanditon. First season is very good. Very Austenesque.

"This is the real world lady, you can't just go around shooting people on a whim".

"Sasha will be very happy, I owe him money"

"The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts."

Good luck with your surgery Boote. We need you around to get us lucky #13.

Airplane had a lot of funny lines. I like the one where a nun was translating jive talk. The jive ends with which the nun translates as "golly".

"Time to die."

 

[augustaTC]

And for us super seniors...

"Here's looking at you, kid"

Sounds like Bogie to me, and hell, I'm only 79

 

[Dogstar]

"Time to die."

I'll guess and say.......Blade runner?

 

[ctfjr]

Where is that from?

2001, that was Hal

Great guess (and great movie).

The entire quote would be a dead giveaway. Roy Batty says: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

A great final monologue it actually really made me feel sorry for Roy, and tht look on Harrison Fords face really enhanced the moment. The death scenes of Zhora and thn Roy really hit hard...along with John Coffeys execution in The Green Mile,

It's such a great moment because after the "it's time to die" you fully expect him to kill Harrison Ford.

he had just saved his life

Yep, but I still thought he was going to kill him

Every line in that movie could be categorized as a wtf. Even the gags/props in the background that you may have not noticed were hilarious. Many of them cannot be repeated on this family channel. The jive scene was done by Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver). The nun was played by Maureen McGovern.

I of course, recognized Barbara Billingsley, but I had no idea the nun was Maureen McGovern.

Of “The Morning After” fame? My first album had that song on it. KTel. 22 original songs. 22 original artists. Haha. It was pretty much a bunch of popular Top 40 countdown songs of 1972 (or whatever year that was). Though I answer, Queen - “A Night at the Opera” as my real first real album when asked.
