154. I saw it in theaters too (when I was 10)
Wed Jul 18, 2012, 02:26 PM
Jul 2012

I felt sucker-punched by Prime's death in the movie and remember crying over it (though, in retrospect, the trailer showing him get hit several times should have given it away from me). Having been used to the TF cartoon and its sanitized violence and lack of death during the first two seasons, I was totally taken aback by seeing Prime and other Autobots getting slaughtered all within the first 20-30 mins of the film. I've read that it was originally going to show even MORE Autobots get killed during the city battle but they decided not to overdo it (though the deaths of many characters were implied since we didn't see a lot of them in Season 3). Also, I got pissed off because most of the Decepticons survived (or were changed) the carnage. It's still one of my all-time favorite movies right up there with the Star Wars movies and the film score done by Vince DiCola (Rocky IV) was amazing and I listen to it pretty much all the time (it has permanent residence on my iPod)

Wed Jul 18, 2012, 05:22 PM
Jul 2012

I'm surprised that he hasn't been tapped to do more soundtracks. I think that he tried to get chosen to score the new TF movies but got turned down. He's still writing and composing music but nothing really high-profile. His non-TF music is every bit as good IMHO. Stan Bush (The Touch, Dare) has still been doing music and releasing albums you can find on iTunes/Amazon MP3.

BTW if you're interested, you can now purchase his full instrumental score for Rocky IV on CD from his website: tdrsmusic.com/vince.html

in no particular order:

From Ben-Hur

Quintus Arrius: Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live.

From The Day of the Jackal

Caron: You know, sir, what they'll do to you if you don't catch this man in time...
Lebel: I've been given a job to do, so we'll just have to do it.
Caron: But no crime has been committed yet, so where are we supposed to start looking for the criminal?
Lebel: We start by recognizing that, after De Gaulle, we are the two most powerful people in France.

From Giant

Uncle Bawley: Bick, you shoulda shot that fella a long time ago. Now he's too rich to kill.

From Field of Dreams (I could quote about half the movie)

Terence Mann: Oh, my God.
Ray Kinsella: What?
Terence Mann: You're from the sixties.
Ray Kinsella: [bashfully] Well, yeah, actually...
Terence Mann: [spraying at Ray with a insecticide sprayer] Out! Back to the sixties! Back! There's no place for you here in the future! Get back while you still can!

...from the same scene

Terence Mann: I'm going to beat you with a crowbar until you leave.
Ray Kinsella: You can't do that.
Terence Mann: There are rules here? No, there are no rules here.
[advances with crowbar]
Ray Kinsella: You're a pacifist!
Terence Mann: [stops] Shit.


From Glengarry Glen Ross

Blake: We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? [Holds up prize] Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.

From The Verdict

Mickey Morrissey: [Mickey is trying to convince Frank not to take the case to trial] Do you know who the attorney for the Archdiocese is? Ed Concannon!
Frank Galvin: He's a good man...
Mickey Morrissey: He's a good man? Heh, heh, he's the Prince of fucking Darkness! He'll have people testifying they saw her waterskiing in Marblehead last summer. Now look, Frank, don't fuck with this case!

..later in the same movie

Ed Concannon: I know how you feel. You don't believe me, but I do know. I'm going to tell you something that I learned when I was your age. I'd prepared a case and old man White said to me, "How did you do?" And, uh, I said, "Did my best." And he said, "You're not paid to do your best. You're paid to win." And that's what pays for this office... pays for the pro bono work that we do for the poor... pays for the type of law that you want to practice... pays for my whiskey... pays for your clothes... pays for the leisure we have to sit back and discuss philosophy as we're doing tonight. We're paid to win the case.

Fri Jul 6, 2012, 06:30 PM
Jul 2012

This quotation was voted the number one movie line of all time by the American Film Institute 2005.[1]

It was spoken by Gable, as Rhett Butler, in his last words to Scarlett O'Hara. It occurs at the end of the film when Scarlett asks Rhett, "Where shall I go? What shall I do?" when he leaves her. The line is memorable not only because it contains profanity (which was generally not allowed in films of that time period), but because it demonstrates that Rhett has finally given up on Scarlett and no longer cares what happens to her.

Still, the idea of the three younger actors who looked so much like the three older famous actors was great. The casting was superb. The leading actress had beautiful skin, I noticed. She went on to be in many other movies and is now middle aged and on TV, I think.

She was in a great horror movie. Forget the name. Maybe it was a long TV episode of something. She has a teenage son. New in town. Son gets a gf from the school. They're out in the woods necking, and he turns into.....something I won't say and spoil it for me. His mother is one, too. Lots of cats in the movie. Not a truly great movie, but a good horror and fun movie.

Can't remember the name of the movie right now, but the line almost didn't make it past the censors.

Another favorite: "I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet."

Pretty much every line Lone Watie had in The Outlaw Josie Wales was quotable.

115. Roy's Soliloquy
Fri Jul 13, 2012, 12:57 PM
Jul 2012

Roy's Soliloquy sums up that movie for me:

Man realises his time is limited. Man gets angry with his maker. Man kills his maker (or stops believing in God). Man expresses sadness over the loss of what seems so significant to him. Man accepts his fate. Man dies...

When that movie first came out, I was blown away by it. I was the only one in my circle of friends to like it. I didn't even know if I'd seen a good film, but it haunted me. Vangelis score was undoubtedly part of that, but I saw it every day (for a dollar) until it stopped running. It still blows me away...

As an aside, I lived in the Netherlands in the late 70's, and I always wondered if Rutger Hauer was inspired in his soliloquy by a song by Barry and Eileen (?) called "Bad Times", which contains the line: "I don't mind the rain.... It covers up the tears..."

I'd love to ask him if I ever met him...

Dante's girlfriend Veronica ( in a stern inquisitive tone ) : So, how many different girls have you slept with?

Dante ( dryly ) : Twelve

Veronica: Slaps Dante's head hard with the heel of her hand

Dante: OWW! What you do THAT for?

Veronica: 'Cause you're a pig!. Do you know how many guys I slept with?

Dante: What, do I get to hit you after you tell me!!??

The Joker had so many great lines in Dark Knight:

"Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooched? Then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is. It's not about money - it's about sending a message - everything burns!"

"This is how crazy Batman has made Gotham. If you want order in Gotham - Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in. Oh and every day he doesn't people will die. Starting tonight. I'm a man of my word."

"What is it going to take? I've got to get you people off the bench and into the game. Come nightfall this city is mine and anyone left plays by my rules. If you don't want to be in the game - get out now. But the bridge and tunnel crowd are sure in for a big surprise. Ha ha ha ha."

155. Nixon: We are gonna make those MOTHER FUCKERS choke!
Wed Jul 18, 2012, 02:49 PM
Jul 2012

No matter how many awards or column inches are written about you, or how high the elected office is, it's still not enough. We still feel like the little man. The loser. They told us we were a hundred times, the smart asses in college, the high ups. The well-born. The people whose respect we really wanted. Really craved. And isn't that why we work so hard now, why we fight for every inch? Scrambling our way up in undignified fashion. If we're honest for a minute, if we reflect privately, just for a moment, if we allow ourselves a glimpse into that shadowy place we call our soul, isn't that why we're here? Now? The two of us. Looking for a way back into the sun. Into the limelight. Back onto the winner's podium. Because we can feel it slipping away. We were headed, both of us, for the dirt. The place the snobs always told us that we'd end up. Face in the dust, humiliated all the more for having tried. So pitifully hard. Well, to hell with that! We're not going to let that happen, either of us. We're going to show those bums, we're going to make 'em choke on our continued success. Our continued headlines! Our continued awards! And power! And glory! We are gonna make those mother fuckers choke!

~ Nixon's full speech in Frost/Nixon.
