Favorite movie quotes

When it comes to marriage, one man is as good as the next. And even the least accommodating is less trouble than a mother.
 
(Reloading in the middle of a gunfight)
Marlboro: You know, that gun costs about two dollars every time you fire it. That's two bucks a bullet.
Harley Davidson: Well how many'd I hit?
Marlboro: You spent twelve dollars and didn't hit a goddamn thing. I nailed one and it cost about four and a quarter.

For a mostly terrible movie, it really did have some fun bits.

In my most recent story, I dropped a handful of movie quotes.

Since my characters had a Star Wars movie marathon, I dropped a few from there. Some as thoughts, others as direct dialog, from everyone's favorite tin-plated butler.

"I have a bad feeling about this." - Every other character, Star Wars

One less recognizable.

"Something's coming. I can feel it, and it's coming right around the corner at me." - Virgil Hilts, The Great Escape
 
Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?

Gimli, Return of the King
 
I'm obscure, decrepited, terrified, ill-favored, penniless and found of adjectives.
 
“Your Honor, you don’t have to be an expert on much of nothing to know it’s hard for two people to make a baby when they’re a thousand miles apart.” - Free State of Jones
 
I opened this yesterday, wanting to say "The rug really tied the room together" from the Big Lebowski.

And then I looked up the clip of the initial conversation at the bowling alley where the Dude and Walter are talking about the incident, and the first line is actually "Yeah, man, it really tied the room together"

And it caused me to realize why this running gag is so funny. Because the stupid rug is the inciting incident for the whole movie. Which is basically an encapsulation of why the movie is incredible in the way that it is.

That whole subgenre of neo-noir LA not-detective is pulled through an insane conspiracy through hapless circumstance is basically my favorite hyper-specific subgenre of film. And it works for both comedy and drama. As evidenced by Inherent Vice working just as well as TBL in a completely different way.
 
Saw a couple new movies this weekend...

'If it's the last thing I do, I'll take that life, man. A thousand times.'
-F1

'Hold on to your vaginas!'
-Megan 2.0
 
Yeah. Yeah, get me a glass of bourbon
A-and a shot of bourbon
And a bourbon chaser
 
“I’m almost on the verge of tears by the time we arrive at Espace since I’m positive we won’t have a decent table. But we do, and relief washes over me in an awesome wave.”
