OT - Top movie lines

[QuikSand]

A friend of mine mentioned recently that the next big "list" from the propaganda machine that is the "American Film Institute" will be a list of the top movie line of all time. (I have no other substantiation for this)

Assuming that's true (and t hasn't been released yet - I didn't check), I thought it might be interesting to try to make some guesses for what might be on the list - even near the top. My friends and I dabbled with it a bit, and were split between the competing concepts of "most meorable line from a huge and very memorable movie" and "extremely memorable line from forgettable movie."

I ended up with "After all, tomorrow is another day" as my top contender... but we had quite a few other ones in the mix. Seemed intrsting on my back deck, at least. So, in lieu of an invitation to come over for grilled tuna steaks, I'll just start this thread... anyone have any nominations?

[cuervo72]

"I'll be back".

[Scholes]

"When you die... on your death bed.... you will recieve total conciousness... So I got that going for me..... which is nice."

[QuikSand]

We had open conversation about that line ("I'll be back")... I personally think it's too contrived to merit a top spot, but we generally agreed that it probably would. In my mind, the only movie where it had a real impact was in The Terminator, and I candidly don't know whether that was the start of the line, or just a fairly early instance of Arnold wanting to use it. Alas, I expect it will be up there.

[QuikSand]

I think there might be too many Caddyshack "quotes" to keep any one from rating too highly...

[Honolulu_Blue]

I'll throw a couple out there:

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." GWTW

"Take your stinking paws off me, you dirty ape." Planet of the Apes

"You talkin' to me?" Taxi Driver

"... Bond. James Bond." All of 'em.

[QuikSand]

My first entry from a Bond movie was "No, Mister Bond, I expect you to die."

But my friends agreed that "Bond, James Bond" was the top choice from the series.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Personal favorite from "The Third Man":

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

[Honolulu_Blue]

Well, of course there always is:

"May the Force be with you."

[DolphinFan1]

"Resistance is Futile."

[Alf]

From "Clerks"

- "Thirty-seven! My girlfriend sucked thirty-seven dicks!"
- "In a row?"

[Alf]

Apocalypse now :

"Do you smell that?"
"What?"
"Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

[cuervo72]

"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

[albionmoonlight]

"I'm out of order? You're out of order! The whole damn system is out of order!"

[henry296]

Not sure that this will be very high, but should be on the list.

You want the Truth.
I want the whole.
You can't handle the truth.

Todd

[Chief Rum]

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
"There's no place like home."
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
"May the Force be with you"
"I hate snakes"
"What are you prepared to do?"
"If you build it, he will come."
"Adrian!"
"I'm your worst nightmare."
"Inconceivable!"
"Nothing but a flesh wound!"
"Do ya feel lucky, punk?"
"Freedom!"
"Excellent!"
"Yippeecayee, mutherfucker."
"My name is Bond...James Bond."
"It's not a tumor!"
"You can't handle the truth!"
"Show me the money!"
"Stop...you had me at hello."
"Those aren't pillows...!"
"I'm Batman."
"Where does he get all those great toys?"
"You...shall NOT...pass!"

Chief Rum

[cthomer5000]

arnolds "i'll be back" from the terminator will rank very high, I'm certain.
As soon as I try to think of stuff like this, my mind goes blank.

How about "Alllll-righty then" from Ace Ventura?

[cthomer5000]

memorable movie quotes now flooding into my head:

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!" - Clerks
"I want my 2 dollars!" - Better off Dead
"If you build it, he will come" - Field of Dreams

[Marc Vaughan]

"Thats just a flesh wound ...."

[ShagVT]

From Batman Returns?

Michelle Pfeiffer: "After all, it's not like you can just kill me."
Christopher Walken: "Actually, it's a lot like that."

[John Galt]

Just reading that quote makes me think of the Snickers commercial with the football player who had a concussion. That is still one of my all-time favorites. Good times.

[Ben E Lou]

The media don't understand the kinds of problems and pressures 54 million come wit'!

[cuervo72]

I know it won't be on the list, but...

"I...am in a world....of shit".

And related:
"Well baby, me so horny...... me so horny... me love you, long time..... you party?"

[cthomer5000]

I'm already sad thinking about how all those killer Army of Darkness and Evil Dead quotes won't make the list.

[Radii]

"Say hello to my little friend" - Pacino, Scarface

"I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody" - Brando, on the waterfront

Brando's from On the Waterfront will be top 10 I would be willing to bed.

I think someone else mentioned it already but "There's no place like home" from the Wizard of Oz, and also "I'll get you, my pretty" seem likely candidates.

What about something from 2001 "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave" or something from that scene?

"Goooooooooood Morning Vietnam!"

Damn, I'm looking forward to this list :)

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get"

"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me?" - The Graduate
"What we have here, is a failure to communicate." - Cool Hand Luke
"I am Spartacus." - Spartacus
"This one goes to eleven." - Spinal Tap

[Hands to the Face]

"Here's looking at you, kid."

[QuikSand]

Radii, I agree with you about "On the Waterfront," and I fear you may also be right about "Forrest Gump."

[Grego]

This will be a top 5, I would think.

"Here's lookin' at you, kid"

[Grego]

also from Casablanca, I can think of a couple more that should crack the top 50 or so

"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. "

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. "

"Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects. "

On a related note, I wonder which movie garners the most entries.

2 of my favorites that will never make any list, but just worthy of a good laugh..

If they allow multiple entries from the same movie, I expect Casablanca will lead the way. To your list, I'd add the "hill of beans" quote. Of all of them, the "usual suspects" would probably be the highest, since in addition to being memorable it also marks a major plot point in the movie.

I wonder if the non-existent "play it again, Sam" will make it in.

"I will rip your eyes out and skullfuck you," is my favorite.

Also, "Didn't Mommy and Daddy love you as a child?" is pretty good.

[oykib]

I can't believe that no one mentioned any lines from "Cocktail," a spectacularly mediocre movie that's chock full of great lines:

"Talking is overrated as a means of communication."

"Everything ends badly or else it wouldn't end."

Of course, the AFI isn't gonna pick any "Cocktail" quotes, anyway.

I'd have to agree with "Frankly, my dear..." as the likely number one.

This one would ahve made it twenty years ago, but won't, now, in this P.C. era:

"A woman's charm is fifty percent illusion" -- A Streetcar Named Desire

Other various quotes:

"They're here..." -- Poltergeist

"{Surely, you can't be serious.} I am serious-- and don't call me Shirley" -- Airplane

"I am not an animal...!" -- The Elephant Man

"Rosebud" -- Citizen Kane

"My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse" -- The Godfather

"We need guns-- LOTS of guns..." -- The Matrix

"I'm king of the world!" -- Titanic

And that really long quote of the crap Crash Davis believes in from "Bull Durham."

[GrantDawg]

I would have to think if they did this it would be the "Top 100 Qoutable Movies" and they would be listed by most memorable qoutes. Just a guess.

[Easy Mac]

"One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck up his ass, true story, he bought it at our local mall so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all but the next week he did again, a different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room. So I run into him a week later in the mall and he's buying another cat. So I say to him, 'Jesus, Walt what are you doing? You know you're just going to get this cat stuck up your ass.' And he said to me, 'Brodie? How else am I going to get the gerbil out?' My cousin was a weird guy."

An excellent movie and an excellent line which Welles ad libbed!!

My favorite movie line (outside most of Pulp Fiction)

"We're going to need a bigger boat."

The group my friends and I came up with have been well represented here in this thread - reaffirming, somewhat.

My group of top contenders would be something like:

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
(what I meant to mention in my opener, by the way)

"I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody."
"[Make] him an offer he can't refuse"
"Rosebud"
"I am Spartacus"
"We don't need no stinking badges"
"Here's looking at you, kid"
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?"
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
"May the force be with you."

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father: prepare to die

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you. ... Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.

Well, my name's Dewey Oxburger. My friends call me Ox. I dont know if you've noticed, but I got a slight weight problem.

My Blue Heaven

Richie loved to use 22s because the bullets are small and they don't come out the other end like a 45, see, a 45 will blow a barn door out the back of your head and there's a lot of dry cleaning involved, but a 22 will just rattle around like Pac-Man until you're dead.

Of course you have a sense of humor. Everyone thinks they do, even people who don't.

I don't know if this should be at the top, though clearly many Casablanca quotes deserve to be. This one is my favorite, though.

[mckerney]

Mr. Blonde
"Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"
"Wow, that was really exciting. I bet you're a real Lee Marvin fan, aren't you?"
"If they hadn't done, what I told 'em not to do, then they'd still be alive."
"Torture you, yeah, I like that, that's a good idea."


Mr. White
"You shoot me in a dream and you better wake up and apologize."

[Kodos]

"Surely, you must be kidding."

"I'm afraid not. And don't call me Shirley."

===========

"Maybe you're not up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked!" - Pvt. Hudson, "Aliens". Bill Paxton had a ton of great lines in Aliens.

I also think Casablanca should get a ton of quotes in the list.

On a side note, something I was watching the other day had Arnold saying that "I'll be back," was not planned to be the big catch-phrase that it became. It caught the makers of Terminator by surprise.

If this list was for television, the Simpsons would clean up, as evidenced by the recurring Simpsons quote threads.

[Wolfpack]

Speaking of that Khan quote...

"I've done worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I want to go on...hurting you. I will leave you as you left me...as you left her. Marooned in the center of a dead planet...buried alive! Buried alive!"

FMJ was full of great ones:

"How tall are you anyway?!"
"Sir! Five-foot-nine, sir!"
"Five-foot-nine? I didn't know they stacked * that high!"

"What's your name fatbody?"
"Sir! Leonard Lawrence, sir!"
"Lawrence, what, of Arabia? Sounds like royalty to me! I hate the name Lawrence! Only f*ts and sailors are named Lawrence! From now on you're Gomer Pyle!"

"Private Pyle, whatever you do, don't fall down! That would break my f*ing heart!"

Some others that spring to mind:
"With all due respect, sir, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me."
--"Heartbreak Ridge"

"Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes?"
"Asps...very dangerous...you go first!"
--"Raiders of the Lost Ark"

"Aren't you gonna read me my rights?"
"You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to have your balls stomped on by me. You have the right to have your face kicked in by him."
"I'll waive my rights."

There's just waaay too many to list 100. So rather than going with Casablanca, On the Waterfront, Gone With the Wind, etc, I offer the following lighter fare:

"There's no crying in baseball!" League of Their Own

"I'm not quite dead" Holy Grail

"And in the morning, I'm makin' waffles!" Shrek

"I'll have what she's having" When Harry Met Sally

"I live my life a quarter mile at a time"

[Barkeep49]

Can't believe no one has said

"Me... You're talking to me?" from Taxi Driver
"No one's perfect" from Some Like It Hot

I think in the end funny movies will get the short end of the stick and the "classics" will be heavily represented. I agree with the thought about Casablanca leading the list but I would cast my vote with "Frankly I don't give a damn" being #1

[Bonegavel]

Spaceballs:

Your helmet is so big.

Major League has a few memorable lines. None of which will make the list.

"Hey bartender, Jobu needs a refill."

"You saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball."

"You tank another play and I'll cut your nuts off and stuff 'em down your fucking throat."

"Too high? It wasn't too high. It was too hard."

"They're still shitty."

"We're out of towels and I'm too old to go diving into lockers."

"It's my kinda team Charlie, it's my kinda team."

"She said she had a better body than you and I HAD to defend your honor."

"One hit? That's all we got is one godd*#@ hit?"
"Hey, you can't say godd*#@ on the radio!"
Aw, it's ok. Nobody's listening anyway."

"Ball 4. Ball 8. And Vaughn gives up his third straight walk. How can they be laying off pitches this close."

[Buzzbee]

Some other more likely candidates:

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

"Ignore that man behind the curtain."

"I'll get you, my pretty."

"I'm melllllting."

"Follow the yellow brick road."

And from some other movies:

"Luke, I am your father."

"O captain, my captian."

"Go ahead, make my day."

"You come to me on this, the day of my daughter's wedding...."

Alright, here are some of my favorite movie lines. I doubt any of them will make it onto any AFI list, but these are fun.

Ian: The Lone Rangers? How can you pluralize "Lone Ranger"?

Tony D'Amato: On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is -- can you win or lose like a man?

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: Easy. I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

Narrator: This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

Tyler Durden: We are a generation of men raised by women. I'm beginning to wonder if another woman is what we really need.

Gen. George S. Patton Jr.: Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Navin R. Johnson: I was born a poor black child.

Marie: Because I just heard a song on the radio that reminded me of the way we were.
Navin R. Johnson: What was it?
Marie: "The Way We Were."

Tony Montana: All I have in this world is balls and my word and I don't break 'em for no one. You understand?

Van Wilder: I know Ms. Pac-Man is special. She's fun. She's cute. She swallows.

[Airhog]

Oooooooooooooh Billy!

Sorry if any of these are repeats:

"Juh-ussssssssst a bit outside."

"I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation! It's a quest. It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our godamn smiles! You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!"

"Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh, it looks good on you though. "

"It's not how far you go, but how go you far."

"Times have changed in the past thirty years, Tomas. We no longer swill sherry and screw goats for fun anymore."

"I'm your Huckleberry."

Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.

And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement.
Neal Page: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.

Neal Page: Eh, look, I don't want to be rude, but I'm not much of a conversationalist, and I really want to finish this article, a friend of mine wrote it, so...
Del Griffith: Don't let me stand in your way, please don't let me stand in your way. The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth... You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowderhead that doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut... If you catch me running off with my mouth, just give me a poke on the chubbs...

Del Griffith: We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in a nick of time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neal Page: Everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate between things that are funny, or slightly amusing. You're a miracle. Your stories have none of that! They're not even amusing accidentally!"

Neal: Sir, please.
Del: Just let me know. I'm here. I knew I knew you!

If you want memorable quotes for every single movie, go to www.imdb.com

[cthomer5000]

this has no chance, but is one of my all-time favorites.

"as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection, while at the same time, experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!" - Austin Powers

[Kevin]

Badges? We don't need no stinkin badges.

[mrsimperless]

Not a word for word quote, but from Dazed and Confused:

"That's the thing I love about these high school girls man. I keep getting older - they stay the same age."



And from American Pie:

"This one time, at band camp..."

[Sybot]

This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

[mrsimperless]

The price is wrong, BITCH!

[cuervo72]

Could be worse. Could be raining.

[mrsimperless]

I saw Old School when it was out at the theater and it had a great line in it. The main character enters a taxi and is fussing with his seatbelt. He notices it is broken and mentions this to the driver.

Cab driver: "Why don't you stop being such a *****?"


(Note: Post edited for insensitivity and rudeness. Please feel free to insert your own non-offensive insult into the space provided.)

[mrsimperless]

Dola

And who could forget the scene in South Park where Cartman whips out the megaphone.

"I said, why don't you suck my balls, Mr. Garrison."

I literally fell out of my seat in the movie theater I was laughing so hard at that. priceless.

[korme]

"You're a thief and a liar."
"I only lied about being a thief, and I don't do that anymore."
"Steal?"
"Lie."

"So that makes 10. Do you think we should get one more? Do you think we should get one more? Alright, we'll get one more."

Just watched Ocean's Eleven for about the 10th time... great dialogue in that movie.

I enjoy that movie more, everytime I see it. for some reason, I like the line, "A whiskey...and a whiskey"

OK, I can't remember the exact words, but the little exchange between Brad Pitt and the bartender in the beginning always makes me laugh.

I also like at the end when Tess says, "We need to get Rusty a girlfriend." Rusty replies, "There's a women's prison up the street."

Also, at the very end when Clooney get's out of jail, him and Pitt quip about each others clothes. A minute later, Clooney remarks how Pitt has 15 million and this is the piece of crap he drives? Pitt responds, "I spent it all on the suit." Love it.

[korme]

I think my favorite scene just for the lines is between Clooney and Roberts when he sees her waiting at dinner for Andy Garcia (Benedict).. I know like that whole scene.

"You remember the day I went out for cigarettes and didn't come back? You must have noticed."
"I don't smoke, DON'T sit."

"Now they say I paid my debt to society-"
"Funny, I never got the check."

"Does he make you laugh?"
"He doesn't make me cry."

"I'm not joking, Tess."
"I'm not laughing, Danny."

"And I always confuse Monet and Manet. Now which one married his mistress?"
"Monet."
"Right, and then Manet had syphilis."
"They also painted occasionally."

"You know what your problem is?"
"I only have one."

--

more great lines ....

"Phil Torenteen..."
"Dead."
"No kidding. On the job?"
"Skin cancer."
"Send flowers?"
"Dated his wife for a while."


"You're Bobby Caldwell's kid...from Chicago. It's nice there, do you like it?"
"Yeah."
"That's wonderful. Get in the Goddamm house."


"Tess is with Benedict now? She's too tall for him!"


"How's it going in there? "
"Longest hour of my life."
"What?"
"I'm running away with your wife."
"Great!"


"You look down, they know you're lying and up, they know you don't know the truth. Don't use seven words when four will do. Don't shift your weight, look always at your mark but don't stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side. And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't, under any circumstances...."
"Russ?"
"Yeah?"
"Come look at this?"
"Sure.."
Leaving Matt Damon (Linus) with a blank stare.


"Who is this?"
"The man who is robbing you."


Yen's only line.. "Where the fuck you been?"


"You scared?"
"You suicidal?"
"Only in the morning."


"Why do they always paint hallways that color? "
"They say taupe is soothing."


"There's a ninety-five pound Chinese man with a hundred sixty million dollars behind this door."
"Let's get him out."


"Watch it, bud."
"Who you calling bud, pal?"
"Who you calling pal, friend?"
"Who you calling friend, jackass?!"
"Don't call me a jackass."
"I just did call you a jackass."


"I know everything that's happening in my hotels."
"So I should put the towels back?"


And of course, the trailer line.. "You're either in or you're out."


"Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes. The house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet big, then you take the house."
"Been practicing this speech, haven't you?"
"Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt like I rushed it."
"No, it was good, I liked it."


"Apparently, he's got a record longer than my... well, it's long."


"What's with the orange?"
"My doctor says I need vitamins."
"So why don't you just take vitamins?"

By the way, they are making an Ocean's Twelve. Probably will suck.

Just heard about it today. In a way, I kind of wish it would not happen because it cannot be nearly as good.

Who knows.

It is odd that when I posted about gay-bashing and gay-baiting on FOFC, it was suggested by several people that a general topic was inflammatory and the best way to deal with slurs was to post in the thread itself. Now, I post in the thread itself and am being told that it does no good.

It seems like the preference of a lot of people here is the "grin and bear it" effort to attack discrimination. I've been quiet about this for a while, but I'm not sure I will anymore. The level of slurs and attacks has increased again (even without skippy here to provide half of them). These comments do nothing but hurt people without any redeemable value. I just ask that people think before they post something that is considered a slur to other members on this board.

Sorry to threadjack, but I didn't want to start a new big thread and I'm growing frustrated at the lack of care some people have shown.

[Anrhydeddu]

Thanks Shorty, I was going to do the same thing. Two questions. The signature is only said once in the movie (at the Chicago pub), is that right and how did that become the line? Second, Yen's only line doesn't make sense. They both put the charges on the door and then he gets snagged, but the door don't blow fortunately. After finding batteries, he finally unsnagged himself just in time to take cover. So why did he act like he was waiting too long for them?

[korme]

I think Yen was glad that the first time the door didn't blow, obviously.. but he was probably waiting in there longer than expected.

I don't know how the in-or-out line became the trademark line for the movie, probably just because it was easy to figure out what the movie was about, a bunch of guys getting together for this ultimate plan.

I forgot to mention, I love the card that Danny gives Linus that reads "NICE PULL!" :)

In this thread, it was a quote from a movie. I think you thread and your various posts have gotten your point across. Some people will respect your request, some will ignore it. Anything from here on out might be considered overkill, and particularly annoying.

[Anrhydeddu]

John, it is curious why this simple quote from a movie puts you over the edge? It is a funny line in its context because it was in a movie scene. Wouldn't a personal attack in this forum be considered far more serious? Or perhaps you are only responding to a particular type of "attack"?

That was what I thought as well but the sequencing of events appears to have been done on time. I can't think of any significant delays, esp. when he only had 30 minutes of O2.

[korme]

it was a funny line, atleast :)

True enough. All things considered, it was not the worst. It was definitely more of a cumulative effect. I guess I also felt that the quote was a little odd, because it was only funny in so far as it was a slur. I guess a quote that justs says "Don't be a [insert slur here]" is not just lame, but also particularly offensive.

As for the concern of Marmel that this overkill and annoying. I think I'm pretty quiet about the issue and certainly less so than lots of people about their pet issues. Still, I've been particularly annoyed lately because it seemed to start with new members (who may or may not have been around during my big post) and then subsequently encouraged by older members. People may not listen, but it is frustrating reading such offensive garbage on this board that I like a lot.

Fair enough.

just don't get your wings in a bunch on me. ;)

[Ufer]

Too many favorites, so I'll throw in a few that might have a chance to make the list:

“Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown.”

“This here's Miss Bonnie Parker. I'm Clyde Barrow. We rob banks.”

“Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.”

“Follow the Money”

“Is it safe?”

“I’m ready for my closeup Mr. Demille.”

I disagree.

First, in this thread's context - it's clear that everything being volunteered is getting a sort of imprimateur from the offeror: saying, in essence, "I think this was great" or "I think this was memorable." If someone picks out a quote that is particulary offensive... or even particularly lousy and/or forgettable... I think that appropriately reflects back on the person who offered it - even though it's not that person's original statement. You offer up a bigoted remark as a line that you endorse - you properly face the consequence for doing so.


Now, should there be a consequence? Somehow, we allow a sickening double standard on the issue of sexual preference, as it is still looked upon as an acceptable form of bigotry and discrimination by many. Remember way back when our buddy Bragg posted a series of racist and anti-Semitic items on our board? Lots of people were up in arms about it - and rightfully so.

Would you defend a person offering up that kind of thing today? (Posting swastikas, that sort of tripe?) At one point, people were told that this was unacceptable. Wouldn't you want and expect the FOFC community to stand up and say "get rid of that shit" - wouldn't you even be one of the people doing so? What does the fact that this happened once before (and somebody objected) have to do with it?

However, because some people cling to the belief that this sort of thing (a bigoted statement about homosexuals) is okay to state, to embrace, and to glorify - then this becomes John's little quest. Everybody else is free to ignore him as they please, and John just ought to shut up about it - he's just being too sensitive.

Bullshit. John is absolutely right about this issue, and shame on me for not being there to back him up each and every time he's ever said anything about it.


In the same manner that I'd be offended if someone offered up a quote from a movie that was blatantly racist, I'm offended by this quote being offered here. I'm not suggesting that the person shouldn't have the right to do so... just that I think it shows poor judgment, not only in his beliefs about life, but in his beliefs about what's funny. A shame.

They are also making a sequel to Seven, I reported all of this in the threadkill, but I'm sure so many of us read there ;)

[Marmel]

I am not in disagreement that John's point is the correct one, I am saying he is wasting his breath (or his typing) on this any more in this forum. It has been stated in its own thread, and in many other threads, yet it continues to happen against his wishes. When will he take the hint that some people don't give a crap (which they have every right to).


The only way he is ever going to make any headway into this is to PM a person if they what they posted offended him. John and quiksand campaigning around the forum everytime a homosexual slur is used is not going to do one bit good, as already shown.

[Anrhydeddu]

But my argument is that it should be expected, not because of the level of humor but because of the diversity of people we have here. Personally, I find any posts attacking followers of Christ and their beliefs sad but I expect that. If I wanted to be in a community of all fellow believers, I would certainly know where to find them. But I choose to be here for several reasons and expect anything that comes with the territory of a very diverse community. This is not condoning such posts as what triggered Galt's response but such thing seems to be an easy target whereas more subtle personal attacks are more challenging to point out. Or something like that.

[sabotai]

Me and my friend's use racial slurs and "hate speech" all the time. No, not to everyone, just to each other. It's the way we are. It's our kind of sense of humor. I don't care if anyone finds my sense of humor offensive or stupid or immature or whatever. It's your right to think that just as it is my right to think you're a moron for judgeing based simply on the words I use. I'm not big on the PC stuff and I'll use whatever words I want. People will judge me based on the words I use. It has happened before. Some people think I'm an ignorant bigot, racist and homophobe. Fine, I don't care. And I don't care if you care that I don't care.

However, me and my friends do our best to not uses words we know to be offensive to others. Whenever we are out and about we don't call each other nigger. We don't call each other fags. We don't call each other jews (using in a bad way, like "I'm such a jew with my money."). Sometimes it does slip out from time to time. And we get the occasional judgemental types thinking we are anti-semites or racists or whatever.

But everyone does it. You hear a woman snap at her child, and you instantly judge them to be a bad mother, but what you don't know is she was just kicked out of her apartment and she's being sued by her ex boyfriend. And she just snapped this one time. People will judge other based on one thing they said in their lifetime.

So what's my point? Two thing. Don't judge people based on one thing they said. 99% of the time they are just harmless comments made without thinking about it first. And the second, if I ever do slip (and I have) and use a racial slur or "hate speech", just know that I don't beleive it. I'm sorry if you don't "get" my sense of humor (most people don't), but it's not going to change. So whatever happens, just know that I mean no harm.

(And please spare me the "but it does do harm by doing" speech that sometimes follows that statement. I've heard it before)

k?

Also, I would like to add that I have not seen so much butchering of great quotes in my life! If you're not not sure on how the quote actually goes, please, look it up. :)

[sabotai]

dola,

And I agree with what A said. TO be a member of a diverse community such as FOFC and expect (or even demand) that you will not be offended in some way is insane. (Unless you're like me, and don't get offended by anything).

If John feels offended by something, then go ahead and speak up. But don't complain when people choose not respect your oipinions on something because it will happen. It's a guarentee that it will happen.

So basically, yeah, I am saying "grin and bear it". Because frankly, it's about the only thing you can do.

[sabotai]

double dola,

I really hope that "Life is like" line from Forrest Gump is at least not in the top 10. OMG, I'm sick of that fuckin line!!

[Maple Leafs]

Three random observations:

1. Buc is right about the religion-bashing that goes on around here. I cringe every time someone says anything vaguely religious, because you know they're going to get hammered.

2. That said... John Galt is right, too: posting material that could be offensive is dicey, and "it's only a movie quote" isn't a very good excuse.

3. His position would be a lot stronger if he hadn't previously posted "I will rip your eyes out and skullfuck you" as an appropriate quote.

[mrsimperless]

I hate to beat on this issue even more, but since my post started all this mess I feel the need to say something.

1) First off, I'm sorry that this thread ended up being threadjacked. If I had thought that was going to happen I never would have posted that quote. The first two pages had some good stuff in them and it was enjoyable reading.

2) I have never intended to humiliate, disparage or otherwise belittle anyone of any given sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity or console allegience at any time on any post that I have ever written on this board. However, I am also not blind to the fact that certain remarks I've made have had the potential to offend people on this board. I just don't think about it at the time that I am posting them. My problem is that it is really difficult for me to empathize with people who are offended by remarks made on a message board because I am never myself offended by any remarks that anyone makes to me at any time. Ever. Stuff like that just doesn't bother me. Let alone comments made on an anonymous board by a total stranger who may or may not be a complete and utter idiot. I'm not trying to sound harsh here, I'm just trying to put things into perspective. I guess my point is that I'm not trying to upset anyone. I do not share any of these sensitivities towards things that people say on this board, so when I am concoting a post possibly offending someone is not at the forefront of my mind. I will do my best to be more sensitive to these things from now on when posting and will try not to step on any toes in the future.

3) I'm all about the funny. Life is too short to be serious all the time, and I have enough stress in my life. I like to keep things light-hearted in order to help keep my spirits up and to keep my heavy heart from sinking into the abyss. In doing so I don't doubt that I am able to find humor in things that may offend other people. If you are easily offended by what others say my advice to you is this: learn to deal with it. Seriously. You are not going to be successful in constantly trying to conform everyone to your will your whole life. People will say what they want and there is no way that you can stop them. Sure you might stop some, but you will never stop them all. In fact there are those who would even intensify their efforts once they know that they are able to get to you. Don't give them that pleasure. Worrying and fussing over things other people say is only going to cause you much stress and unhappiness. You will be a healthier and happier person if you learn to let it all roll right off your back.

4) Far from wanting to offend, if you happen to be of a different race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion than me - may God (or Allah) bless you. Release your insecurities and embrace your individuality. For you are the foundation of the fabric of this wonderful diverse world.

Not to threadjack, but...

I don't see people getting hammered all the time for religious stuff, but I also don't see why some people wear find the need to constantly invoke their "higher power" beliefs. There's a fine line between it being a part of your value system and waving religion around like a flag. Nothing pisses off a non-believer like "I'll pray for you". It's a total slap in the face to their belief system and is condensending to boot.

For a non-believer, the "my God told me to and said I'm right" response in a debate is just like a bulls-eye - it's akin to "I'm taking my ball and going home now". It shows little objective or rational thought. The comeback of "this is my personal value system" is a different story and isn't usually attacked.

Bart reaches into waistline as crowd gasps and screams. Bart pulls out paper
Crowd: Ahhhhh!

To two members of the KKK
Jim: Oh Boys, Lookee what I got heyuh.
Bart: Hey, where the white women at.

Taggart: I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots.

Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications?
Applicant: Rape, murder, arson, and rape.
Hedley Lamarr: You said rape twice.
Applicant: I like rape.
