Movie Quotes

[Heid the Ba]

This film opens with the sound of rotor blades, over a view of a ceiling fan revolving. The lead character (off screen) says:

"Saigon . . .shit".

Later on in the film someone says the Disneyland quote.

So we have a view of Viet Nam, the sound of helicopters and the smell of napalm.

Some times you want to go where everybody knows "Charlie don't surf".

[Heid the Ba]

What the hell do you know about surfing, you're from goddam New Jersey!

Correct Lance.

[Lance]

We can do TV shows too, right?

"There is a legend that tells of an eldritch race, more foul and loathsome than the putrid slime that clings to the walls of hell - twisted creatures, half man, half beast, who move with the rustling sound of predatory rats, carrying with them the stench of the charnel house . . . wretched mutations who live deep beneath the earth in dark tunnels, surfacing in the dead of night and returning before dawn to practice their unspeakable acts . . . and breed their filthy spawn . . . until the day arrives when their swollen numbers will finally emerge and ravish the earth like a noxious plague."

As I think you all know, Cyndi and I both do Desktop (PC) Support for a Big Evil Oil Company. I sent her that quote in IM yesterday and she replied: "otherwise known as End Users".

ROTFLMAO!

If it was a film I'd guess "Zombie - Dawn of the Dead", as it is tv I have no idea.

[Lance]

It's from an old TV show.

[KLA2]

How old?

Old for thee? :wink: Old for me? Or old for squee?

[Lance]

Old for Scotch.

[Heid the Ba]

Another clue?

[Lance]

It was a show that told several short stories each week. Creepy stories. And hosted by one of the masters of creepy stories. This was his next stop. Bonus points for the name of the story, but not required.

When I first heard the bolded part of the quote, "more foul and loathsome than the putrid slime that clings to the walls of hell", it just stuck with me. I still use it to this day, to describe all sorts of things. Most recently, soup.

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna steal that. just as soon as I learn where it came from ... :?

That Stein guy that wrote children's horror stories? Goosebumps!

Tales From the Crypt

I used to watch some of that, but I don't recall the quote...

I somehow missed these clues, which discount my guess. Instead, I'll guess Night Gallery - it's older, fits the format, and was hosted by Rod Sterling, if I remember correctly.

Did you get the "his Next Stop" one? I tried hinting that it was Rod Serling's next TV show after The Twilight Zone.

I'll guess Night Gallery

Yessiree!

Night Gallery: Pickman's Model

[MM_Dandy]

Woot!

Can you blow me where the pampers is?

[KLA2]

Twister?

Clue, please.

[Heid the Ba]

Bump.

[MM_Dandy]

Sorry about that, folks. Been fairly busy over Thanksgiving.

A character in the movie is writing a thesis on the "Caine-Hackman Theory." He attempts to prove the theory by watching television for some unknown length of time. When he discovers that A Bridge Too Far is playing, he becomes very excited and attempts to get up, but finds that his legs are useless, and the sensation of blood circulating through them nearly overwhelms him.

More hints:

The movie stars David Spade as an antagonist, but Chris Farley makes no appearances.

You cocky, pointy-nosed little Reaganite! If you hadn't provoked them, we wouldn't BE in this mess!

[MM_Dandy]

Well, then. A couple more hints before I give it up...

Ok, now it's true, the majority of students today are so cravenly PC, they wouldn't know a good time if it was sitting on their face, but there's one thing that will always unite us and them. They're young. They may not realize it yet. They've got the same raging hormones, the same self-destructive desire to get boldly trashed and wildly out of control. Look out that window! That's not a protest! That is a cry for help! They're begging us... "Please have a party! Feed us drinks! Get us laid!"

Besides David Spade, the movie also features Jeremy Piven (who, interestingly, had less hair then) as an undergrad on the 10-year plan, Jon Favreau as a dreadlocked stoner, a cameo by Jake Busey, son of Gary Busey as a frisbee football playing hippie, and an appearance by George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic.

Seems like the kind of movie I'd instinctively avoid like the plague....

And the only movie I can think of with David Spade is "Joe Dirt"

[MM_Dandy]

You're not the only one. I think it did not do well at the box office. Personally, I like it, but I'm not sure that I would have paid for a ticket to go see it in the theater.
