lists, you say...

okay...

last week i commented on how bravo and vh-1 seem to be doing some pretty good business with these list shows; 100 scariest movies, 100 funniest, 100 one-hit wonders, etc. they seem to be nothing but mindless, mind-numbing...lists! and yet every time i happen upon one of them, i must admit, i'm intrigued. i pause and then look up at the clock to see that 3 hours have passed. maybe it's the trivia seeker in me, or the nostalgiast, or, as many other writers will tell you, more likely it's the procrastinator, but i get caught up in them so easily.

that said, i soon set to task a few of our regulars on the topics of five funniest movies, five favorite cartoons, and five favorite songs. i have to say, WE did some pretty good numbers with that ourselves--LOTS of people logged in with their choices--and i truly LOVE when you guys write in!--and scott suggested...nay, DEMANDED...more lists!

so as i am still juggling too much and unable to really talk about any of it, let's do some of that...

let's start with a rather broad topic and then see if we need to narrow it down...

five favorite catch phrases--lines or quotes--from movies.
(let's keep it to movies first and see if there's interest in doing tv later...)
i knew a girl once who could quote most of "the princess bride" to you in her sleep.
she often did.
maybe this category is still too broad--should we say five from comedies and five from dramas. yeah, let's do that...

five favorite catch phrases from film comedy

and

five favorite catch phrases from film drama

there ya go.




moving on, while i try my best to always be positive and not complain--both in life and here on the blog--i gotta tell ya that i'm pretty disappointed to report that both the TELLOS Colossal hardcover from image and the Perhapanauts:Second Chances trade from dark horse will be shipping a week or so later than originally scheduled. mike, craig, and i are all disappointed and frustrated by this and, while there are always feasible explanations...man, it just takes the wind outta your sails when you plan to have books at a show or wherever and you're left empty handed. craig and i WILL have copies of the second chances trade at heroescon in charlotte, but the tellos book has been bumped to >hopefully< the last week in june due to some production problems. (seems that even though the original files are only 7 years old, the process has already changed so much that all of the files needed to be reformatted for the book. it DOES look AWESOME, but still...woulda been nice to have in charlotte...)

we have absolutely no idea why the 'haps trade is late...

anyway, apologies. we're as diappointed as you are.

hope to see ya at the show anyway--just a week and a half away!! woo hoo!

and for those of you who thrilled to the magic of the perhapanauts choopie butt card last year, craig and i are workin' on a little something special for this year too! (although i think this one might hafta cost a buck or two...)

anyway, my time is up here--i gotta get back to work!
send in your lists!
and, as always, if you have trouble posting a comment and/or don't wanna register with blogger, please feel free to 'e' me your list or comments at todd@perhapanauts.com and i'll be sure that they make it into the comments section! c'mon! do it! we'd love to see ya and you know you want to!!

that's it for me! smell ya later!

That's too bad that the books are delayed. But, at least you'll have the Perhaps trade at Heroes. I'm SO psyched for Heroes.

Now for lists.

- "22, 23, Whatever it takes." - Mr. Mom

okay, so, here's 5 comedy quotes off the top of the head ... ( and in the spirit of todd's blog, i decided to leave out the movie name for a bit more fun... but i think they're pretty obvious)...

i'll post my drama quotes later.

"1.21 jigawatts? Great Scott!"

"No more yankee my wankie. The Donger need sleep."

"You're my boy, Blue!"

"Yooooooooow, Kelly Clarkson!"

"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand."

Brian said...

I'm bummed about the publication push back, but it does save me having to lug that oversized hardcover home.

Here are the comedies, I'll have to work on the dramas.

Comedies:

"It's In the Hole."

"Pool and a pond, pond would be good for you."

"You'll get nothing and like it"

"Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

And now the dramas:

"The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter, eh?"

Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon

"I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, its possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon."

Sydney Greenstreet as Kasper Gutman in The Maltese Falcon.

"When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it."

Spade: The Maltese Falcon.

"We didn't believe your story, Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, we believed your 200 dollars. I mean you paid us more than if you had been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it alright."

Spade: The Maltese Falcon

"I hope they don't hang you, precious, by that sweet neck. Yes, angel, I'm gonna send you over. The chances are you'll get off with life. That means if you're a good girl, you'll be out in 20 years. I'll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I'll always remember you."

Spade: The Maltese Falcon.

My favorite part about that film was that they used Chandler's dialogue word for word from the book.

.... and here's 5 drama type quotes that i've usually got rattling around in my head, ready at a moment's notice...

"It's a madhouse! A MAD HOUSE!"

"Does... he... look... like... a ...bitch?!" (this could've easily been any of dozens or great ones...)

"KAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!!!!"

"These aren't the droids you're looking for." (but of course you haveta say it with that wave of the hand)

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

todd said...

d'oh!
totally blanked on pulp fiction and ALL the many lines i use from that film everyday!
good one, craig!
excellent!

Brian said...

Okay, just one more:

Kevin Costner as Crash Davis in
"Bull Durham."

"Well, I believe in the soul, the c#ck, the p#ssy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

I use this for a looser curl and it works well. I like Moroccan Oil products and this is a solid one. It hasn't been life changing and I haven't used it

alone to really see what it does but it works well with the David Babaii Bohemian Beach Spray for nice loose curl.
