DU Goes to the Movies

Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 08:35 PM by NanceGreggs

Well, it’s been a little wacky here on DU of late. But IMHO, there isn’t a situation that can’t be summed up with a movie quote (with some alterations).

Now Showing – Something for Everyone!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

… for the ‘you are all driving me nuts’ crowd:

“This isn’t a ~~hospital~~ website, this is an insane asylum!” (“Hotlips” Houlihan - M*A*S*H*)

… for the doom-‘n-gloomers:

“It’s an express elevator to hell – goin’ down.” (Cpl. Dwayne Hicks – “Aliens”)

… for the IBTL ticket-holders:

“I’m not bad, they just ~~draw~~ post me this way!” (Jessica – “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”)

… for those with an axe to grind:

“I’m going to pick a ~~fight~~ flamewar.” (William Wallace – “Braveheart”)

… for the candidate bashers/counter-bashers:

“Take your hands off me, you damned dirty ~~apes~~: (a) Hillary supporters, (b) Obama supporters, (c) Edwards supporters, (d) …
(George Taylor – “Planet of the Apes”)

… for the stoic, it-happens-every-primary posters:

“Forget it, Jake – it’s ~~Chinatown~~ GDP."
(Lawrence Walsh – “Chinatown”)

… for those rendered speechless by an OP they disagree with:

“Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck” (Charles – “Four Weddings & A Funeral”)

… for the I’ve-lost-all-hopers:

“It’s like ‘how much more black could this be?’ And the answer is ‘none, none more black’.” (Nigel – Spinal Tap)

… for those who insist they are leaving DU:

“Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in.”
(Michael Corleone – “Godfather III”)

… for those who understand the irony of it all:

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” (Merkin Muffley – “Dr. Strangelove”)

… for those on-the-lookout for pesky intruders:

“You moved the tombstones – but you didn’t move the ~~bodies~~ trolls, did ya?” (Steve Freeling – “Poltergeist”)

… for those who just can’t resist arguing to the death:

“Your ~~eyes~~ posts are full of hate, (reply) number 41. That’s good. Hate keeps a man alive, it gives him strength.”
(Quintas Arrius – “Ben Hur”)

… for those who can’t resist arguing when there is no argument:

“You know, you can’t fool us by agreeing with us.”
(Roy Neary – “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”)

… for those who venture into the internet cosmos and report back:

“Our scout ships have reached ~~Dantooine~~ Freeperville. They found the remains of a rebel base – but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time.”
(Officer Cass – “Star Wars”)

… for the anti-Pelosi/Reid gang:

“You was my ~~brother~~ representative. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit.”
(Terry Malloy – “On the Waterfront”)

… for those who read the Latest Page thread titles, and venture in anyway:

“Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”
(Margo Channing – “All About Eve”)

… for those who only post about Iraq …

“I’m just here for the gasoline.” (~~Max~~ BushCo – “The Road Warrior”)

… or the economy:

“Greed is good.” (Gordon Gekko – “Wall Street”)

… or the environment:

“I was there, I can prove it! When I was a kid, you could buy meat anywhere, and eggs, and they had real butter – not this crap.” (Sol – “Soylent Green”)

… for those who get their threads locked:

“Your rules are really beginning to annoy me.” (Snake Plissken – “Escape from L.A.”)

… for peace-and-quiet lovers everywhere:

“We’ll always have ~~Paris~~ the Lounge.”
(Rick Blaine – “Casablanca”)

… for those searching for a compromise they can live with:

"~~Love~~ IGNORE means never having to say you’re sorry.” (Oliver Barrett Jr. - “Love Story”)
