You're amazing! That was, like, the most obscure line I could think of!
I don't recognise the quotes you put up. Will ask some nerd friends (and by that I mean even nerdier than me) (they live in a virtual commune and plan to destroy Microsoft) (there is nothing they can't find out for you).
It's great that there are other people who appreciate the wonders of 1995's mini-series. Let's have a damn hard bitch about the 2005 twatted version.
I'll start.
Keira-please-look-at-my-teeth-Knightly looks consumptive and would probably not be allowed out of her chamber without putting on a good half stone. They have her walking out doors without a bonnet and with her hair down, which is surely the nineteenth century equivalent of flashing minge.
Matthew Macfadyen clearly thinks he can express bottled up emotion by rapidly mumbling his lines like an adolescent in a school play and bursts in to Lizzie's bed chamber alone. I bet if that had really happened, a duel would have been involved.
And what was up with the script? It was like cramming the Iliad into an info-mercial. Cack-handed friggers.
Ahh. Good old nerdy friends. They tell me it's from 2004's Saved!, a comedy drama about a pregnant girl at a baptist high school. I could have looked it up on www.imdb.com, but that would be cheating.
Still, it's probably the best cultural resource on the net.
Oh, quote.
"Chieko-san? Guess who? This is Qiwu. That's right. Want to come out for a drink? Your husband? When did you get married? Five years! Has it been that long? You have two kids! You're happy, that's great! Okay, never mind."
It's not cultured. Just foreign. That way you can check out the male lead and tune out whatever bull**** he might be saying. Sidebar: Why are foreign men more attractive? Does verbal communication deplete a man's allure? Case and point:
Sean William Scott. Very pretty. Talks too much.
Mathieu Kassovitz. Not as pretty. Talks less. Far sexier. Esp. in Amelie.
I'm going to keep going til you guess this film, you know. Even if I have to quote the entire f*cking script.
"It was such a relief when I saw it crying. It may look different, but it's still true to itself. It's still an emotionally charged towel."
I say, Breconboy old man, are your quotes from Kar Wai Wong's sensational 1994 film Chung hing sam lam? The film in which a young Kaneshiro Takeshi dazzled us with his enigmatic stares and effortless juggling of no less than four languages?
Why, Anonymous, sir, what a well-informed and tasteful fellow you must be!! What a delight to meet one such as yourself on this fair forum.
Anyway, it is indeed Chung hing sam lam. Did you know that the whole film was shot in 23 days and that Wong Kar-Wai wrote most of the scenes the night before filming?
Hmm. Nerdy trivia or sex? Nerdy trivia or sex? Oh dear, seems like the choice has been made for me!!
Here's a new quote. Do make the effort people. I'm at home so I have to drink snake-bite-black with the locals. And wear polo-shirts. (Sobs faintly)
"That woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her **** all over town like she was Sharon Stone or something."
"And let's face it S****y, your mother was no Sharon Stone."
There are so many great quotes from that film! Some of my favourites include: Cheerleader in Bathroom: Think about it... her mothers death leaves her disturbed and hostile in a cruel and inhumane world. She's delusional, fears God, etc. She wants to kill her self, but then she realizes that teen suicide is out this year, and homicide is a much healthier therapeutic expression. Girl in Bathroom: Where do you get this sh*t? Cheerleader in Bathroom: Ricky Lake.
Sidney Prescott: F*ck you. Billy: We've already played that game, remember? You lost.
Ok, try this one:
Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but, you know, touchin' his wife's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain't the same f***in' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same f***in' sport. Look, foot massages don't mean sh*t.
Ahh. Pulp Fiction. Tarantino gives so much for the geeks. Things to notice in the background, homages to other films. While eating shmorfs and consoling one another for being generally a bit uncool, Tarantino's films offer so many opportunities for losers to feel culturally valid.
Did you know that , although Jules was actually written for Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Calderon almost stole it at audition for being just so fûcking cool? Jackson had to fly to LA to re-audition.
Tarantino keeps a box of the discontinued cereal Fruit Brute and drops it randomly into his films. Druggie Lance eats it on the phone to Vincent. It also appears in Resevoir Dogs.
The line "go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch" is taken from 1973's Charley Varrick.
"The horseman was a Hessian mercenary sent to the shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England. But unlike his compatriots, who came for money, the horseman came for love of carnage."
I think your quote is Julia Roberts giving sass as Erin Brockovich. I love her and, should the opportunity ever arise, would abandon men entirely and selflessly dedicate my life to finding her clitoris and doing her ironing. Well, I might do, anyway.
New quote. Hmmm.
"That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's."
The film my sister was allowed to watch but I wasn't (too young) so I thought it must be officially cool. It's only now, upon reflection, that I can loath it at arms length with some satisfaction.
"That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's."
Forrest Gump???

Well now. That's bound to fûck you up, isn't it? Andy Warhol called the movie the "A Clockwork Orange of the 1980s". And there's something about 80's special effects. Creepier for being almost, but not quite realistic. James Woods' chest-slit scene in this, for example.
Hmm. While we're on creepy-bad special effects...
"Howdy, Stranger! This is Hauser. If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."
Better than Chocolate. That line is 4ever etched in2 my memory cos its accompanied by those ****ing awful trousers wot hurt my eyes.
"Did you just snap my bra?"

Michael Douglas as Prof. Grady Tripp from Wonder Boys. I love that film. Good things happen when the A-listers take a chance on a shifty script. And Robert Downey Junior is gay. Score!! Trivia - Michael Chabon (who wrote the novel) is a comicbook fan and wrote the screenplay for 2004 Spiderman 2 - also starring Tobey Maguire.
How about...

It's obliteration, not oblivion. Going all buddhist on us there, D. 1984's Dune. Scary to think of Kyle MacLachlan in S&TC and Desperate Housewives when we first saw him like this:
Howzabout:
"Look, the most glorious rainbow ever." "Oh. Do me on it."
Oh. Oh. Good film. While You Were Sleeping Good old Bullocks. That line was said by Elsie, the grandmother in Superstar and also Mrs Winnifred Banks in Disney's Mary Poppins. And so the circle closes.
Oh yo, oh yo! Gone a wee bit high brow on us there, eh? It's from Kushner's Angels in America. made into a film in 2003. Mike Nichols definately did the right thing in letting Kushner advise, many plays don't go well into films.
