Quotes to pass the time.
July 22nd, 2008
Mojo posted a piece today about literary quotes as tattoos that got me thinking. Rather than literary quotes, wouldn’t random movie references be a better thing to display on oneself in this, the post-post-modern era?
For your consideration…
KILIAN’S CAVERNOUS CAVALCADE OF CONSPICUOUSLY INEFFECTUAL FILM QUOTATIONS!
Ol’ Jack always says…what the hell.
It’s 106 miles to Chicago…
These go to eleven.
Zaphod’s just this guy you know.
Groovy
Now that’s not the sanctioned term we’re using for the symbol…just something we’re kicking around the office. But look at it. Doesn’t it…POP. Buddy Christ.
Here, he says he’s not dead.
Wait, master, it might be dangerous. You go first
So what’s a movie quote you’d get permanently seared into your flesh?

How about these gems:
“It’s good to be the king.”
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”

“I aim to misbehave.”
On a sidenote, I totally want to set-up a movie night to watch “Big Trouble in Little China.”

‘Is that feces your wearing?” Most notably after last week.
“I brought you some supper but if you’d prefer a lecture, I’ve a few very catchy ones prepped…sin and hellfire… one has lepers.”
Zoe “Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It’s a toss-up.”
Walsh “I hope she does the soup thing. It’s always a hoot, and we don’t all die from it.”
Wash: “Yeah well, if she doesn’t give us some extra flow from the engine room to offset the burn through, this landing is gonna get pretty interesting.”
Mal: “Define interesting.”
Wash: “Oh god oh god we’re all gonna die?”
Mal: “This is the captain. We have a…little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then…explode.”
This one is kinda long but oh well:
Early: “Alright, that’s all the hide-and-seek I got time for. (shouting) I know you’re on this ship, little girl! Here’s how this goes: show yourself and finish this exchange, or your brother’s brains’ll be flyin’ every whichaway! (normal tone) You understand, I’m sort of on the clock here, it’s a little frustrating. ”
River: “You’re wrong, Early. ”
Early: “I’m not wrong, dumpling, I will shoot your brother dead if you don’t- ”
River: “Wrong about River. River’s not on the ship. They didn’t want her here. But she couldn’t make herself leave. So she melted. Melted away. They didn’t know she could do that. But she did.”
Early: “Not sure I take your meaning there. ”
River: “I’m not on the ship. I’m in the ship. I am the ship. ”
Simon: “River- ”
River: “River’s gone. ”
Early: “Then who exactly are we talking to?”
River: “Talking to Serenity. And Early? Serenity is very unhappy. ”
Early: “Where’d she go? ”
Simon: “I can’t keep track of her when she’s not incorporeally possessing a spaceship — don’t look at me.”

Thereare some really good ones in there. That and I didn’t want to fill up a page of quotes from other shows, and movies. There are 4 or 5 out of Monty Python I was tempted to write in.
And how is “I hope she does the soup thing. It’s always a hoot, and we don’t all die from it.” not one of the greatest quotes of all time?

Because it’s from Firefly…that seems rather obvious to me.

Just because you loath JW, and anything he ever touched doesn’t mean everyone else does.
That quote is still awesome
P.S. And who was the one who wanted to SEE “Dude, Where’s my car?” Where at least I like to laught at how terrible it was/is.
