    I speak on behalf of the minority when I say I feel your pain about having to endure that very last number scene.

    i have to go through it again and check it if I have time, but since I ma one of the Gen X geeks, I think it is correct.

    This was on IMDb’s news roll (the one at the bottom of the page) a few weeks back. It was fun, but much like everyone else I presume, there were so many quotes I would have loved to see in there. Alas…

    “These go to 11″ will never stop being funny.

    So, I’m the only one who got the Alonzo Mosely reference?…

    Mutinyco,
    Let me tell you something, asshole. I’ve been working on this Jimmy Serrano thing for about six years; Mardukas is my shot. I’m gonna bring him into federal court, and I don’t want any third-rate rent-a-thug who couldn’t cut it as a cop in Chicago bringing him to LA on some bullshit local charge. Do I make myself understood?
    [so If you mean Midnight Run, okay. Otherwise I apologize for calling you an asshole.]
    Camel…I never noticed it on the newsroll, but saw it on the board.
    My favorite is 11, but the Galaxy Quest “I died in episode 81″ was hilarious. and of course 43, Monty Python.

    What’d you just do, go cut and paste from the IMDb?…
    Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up

    Is it just me or did they miss what would have been a great “69″? Of course, I speak of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

    Of course I cut and paste from the IMDB…I’m not an actor and can’t remember long tracts of dialog…except one long segment from A Tale of Two Cities.

    Palm
    I think, judging from the selection, that the person/persons who did the splicing were raised on Han Solo and John Hughes and Ghosbusters, so Bill & Ted(which is late 80s-89?) might not be foremost in the memory recall.
    Plus there are so many old cult-type movies and landmark movies as well (what kind of freak would remember the number 10 is in Citizen Kane) that we are not talking about a “normal” movie goer.

“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
