Name that Flick

[Tom Strange]

say it (in your mind) with a deep, gutteral voice...

[ChasUFarley]

Tom - should you say it with some throaty grunts between some of the words?

HUMPH?

[Raf]

Some folks call it hell. I call it hades.

Some folks call it a fun loving cult. I call it a soul-sucking vortex.

Some folks call it a Kaiser blade.

I call it a bagel cutter.

Sling Blade

[Tom Strange]

Reckon you make me some biscuits.

I like them French fried potaters.

and then towards the end, these words of profundity from the alleged "idiot":

I don't reckon you have to go with women to be a good daddy to a boy. You been real square-dealin' with me. The Bible says two men ought not lay together. But I don't reckon the Good Lord would send anybody like you to Hades. That Frank, he lives inside of his own heart. That's an awful big place to live in. You take good care of that boy.

Of course Raf, it's Sling Blade...

I don't know about the rest of you but I was very pleasantly blown away by that movie... it was just a story about a few days in the lives of a few people... the cast and their performances were just one of those times when everything comes together and something really special is made...

Lesser known quotes from a movie I'm 95% certain you've all seen.

"I oughta kill you right now."

"Not a very private place for a murder."

****

"Your persistence surprises even me. You're going to give mercenaries a bad name."

****

"Surely he mentioned there would be other interested parties."

"Must have slipped his mind."

"The man is nefarious."

****

"He said you were a bum."

"Aw, he's being generous."

"The most gifted bum he ever trained. You know, he loved you like a son. Took a hell of a lot for you to alienate him."

"Not much. Just you."

[Tom Strange]

sounds like a three stooges movie...

[Raf]

Not even close.

This is an EXTREMELY well-known movie with a big name director and big name stars. Not considered an "old" movie, but older than many of us would like to admit.

Is there really anybody that doesn't know what movie this is?

[Raf]

Apparently.

[Pirate1974]

Didn't any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?

[Ca_dreaming]

If you know it post it!

[Tom Strange]

Didn't any of you guys ever go to Sunday school?

Not me... and I'm not going to that big blockbuster summer movie that's out now either because I HATE SNAKES

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Tom's clue gave it away, but I wouldn't have gotten it from Raf's quotes.

And yes, I did see the movie.

George

[Tom Strange]

What clue? I was talking about that Snake Plane movie that's out now...

[Ca_dreaming]

You are quite funny.

And............

The answer is George?

[topoftheworld]

I'll try to put you all out of your misery. Is it "Raider's of the Lost Ark"?

Oh, did you hear about the idiot who released two rattlesnakes in the theatre during the playing of "Snakes" in Phoenix? Enough to ensure I'll wait till the DVD comes out.

[Raf]

Thank God someone finally put the movie in. :)

[topoftheworld]

I knew it had to be one of those "Ark" movies.

"You might be a cunning linguist, but I am a master debater."

[Ca_dreaming]

Austin Powers the first one

[topoftheworld]

The character is right, but not the first movie.

Jury?

[Raf]

Give it to her.

[topoftheworld]

Ah, Raf-you are a kind soul.

OK, CA.

[Ca_dreaming]

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

[topoftheworld]

Vhat???

[Ca_dreaming]

Close but no cigar!!!!
