What´s your favorite movie phrase?…


  • ‘Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It’s the world’s most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn’t break, jam, or overheat. It’ll shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with sand. It’s so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people’s greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars’

    ABW,

    Hello again, my friend. I’ve been busy of late. That and I got somewhat disenchanted with some immature people on here that only wanted to argue.
    How have YOU been? I’m afraid that “Allworkandnoclay” has been busy with other clients work for awhile. The last things I received from him were my FMG Italian Desert Infantry and my Major Factories. I imagine you’ve seen pics of them already. He’s still working on the Minor Factories(from Risk game).

    I see, you are all warming up…let´s go a head with this one!

    Persian: A thousand nations of the Persian empire descend upon you. Our arrows will blot out the sun!

    Stelios: Then we will fight in the shade.

    AAAHHUUUU � AAAHHUUUUU

    In a documentary on “300” one of the Classics Professors said that is pretty much lifted right from Herodotus.

    I remember reading that line as a kid, LONG before the movie was ever a -thought-.

    Ah, how I loved her, but she had her music. I think she had her music. She’d hang out with the Chicago Male Chorus and Symphony. I don’t recall her playing an instrument or being able to carry a tune. Yet she was on the road 300 days of the year. In fact, I bought her a harp for Christmas. She asked me what it was.

    the quote or the story of the movie? :? :?


  • In this instance he was referring to the quote.


  • Tim McCracken: Dunlop, you suck c$^k.
    Reggie Dunlop: All I can get

    I’m listening to the f$$king song!!!

    Puttin’ on the foil!

    Reggie Dunlop: She underlines the f@#k scenes for ya? Jesus, if she underlines the f@#k scenes for ya, she must worship the ground you walk on.
    Ned Braden: They teach you how to underline in college.
    Reggie Dunlop: Not the f@#k scenes, they don’t. Braden, you gotta learn to put out more, you know what I mean?

    Johnny always says you can just drink so much and screw so much.

    That my friend is a test we all experience here. Good to see you on here.

    ABW,

    Thanks for the kind words. Here’s a couple of pics for you in case you missed them before.

    “That reverend stands in good with the Lord,…and I’m going to decorate him!”

    George C. Scott as Patton in Patton…refering to the “weather prayer” that he told the reverend to write for him to temper the adverse weather.

  • My favorite “Patton” line is, “They’ll do it because they’re good soldiers.”

    What’s the quote where he fires a Colonel, and put’s his second in command in charge?  And says if he doesn’t take that hill by noon, he’ll be fired too! :P

  • The Chaplain’s sermon from the movie Battleground:

    “Now it’s nearly Christmas, and here we are in beautiful Bastogne enjoying the winter sports. And the $64 question is: “Was this trip necessary?” I’ll try to answer that. Let’s look at the facts. Nobody wanted this war but the Nazis. A great many people tried to deal with them, and a lot of them are dead. Millions have died, for no other reason except that the Nazis wanted them dead. So, in the final showdown, there was nothing left to do except fight. There’s a great lesson in this. Those of us who’ve learned it the hard way aren’t going to forget it. We must never again let any force dedicated to a super-race or a super-idea or super-anything become strong enough to impose itself upon a free world. We must be smart enough and tough enough in the beginning to put out the fire before it starts spreading. My answer to the sixty-four dollar question is yes, this trip was necessary. As the years go by, a lot of people are going to forget. But you won’t. And don’t ever let anybody tell you you were a sucker to fight in the war against fascism.”

    I agree, (Sarcastic) when do we go and fight American Democracy?


  • Otto: You know we don’t stand a chance. Why not surrender?

    Capt. Hermann Musk: You know what would happen if we do.

    Otto: Do we deserve any better?

    Capt. Hermann Musk: Otto, I’m not a Nazi.

    Otto: No, you’re worse. Lousy officers. As I told you before at Brest Litowsk, but you didn´t listened. You went along with it all, even though you knew who was in charge. Hermann…


  • This is the President.

    I’ve just been informed that our mid range military bases at Beta Durani and Proxima 3 have fallen to the Minbari. We’ve lost contact with our bases at Io and must conclude that they too have been destroyed by an advanced force.

    Our military intelligence believes that the Minbari intend to bypass Mars and attack Earth directly, and the attack may come at any time.

    We continue to broadcast our surrender and a plea for mercy. They have not replied. We can therefore only conclude that we stand at the twilight of the human race.

    In order to buy more time for our evacuation transports to leave Earth, we ask for the support of every ship capable of fighting to take part in a last defense of our homeworld. We will not lie to you. We do not believe that survival is a possibility. Those of you who join the battle, will never come home. But, for every 10 minutes we can delay the military advance, several hundred more civilians may have a chance to escape to neutral territory. Though Earth may fall, the human race must have a chance to continue elsewhere.

    No greater sacrifice has ever been asked of a people but I ask you now, to step forward one last time, one last battle to hold the line against the night.

    May God go with you all.


  • It didn’t occur to me until now how nicely that Presidential speech from Babylon Five resonates with the one from Independence Day, even though they express completely opposite outlooks on the prospect of human extinction.

    It wasn’t as “cheesy” as ID though….for a low budget series, they did pretty damn well… here’s my other fav Pres speech from a movie (since I can’t go with Battlestar)

    I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day “Armageddon”-the end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us need to know that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster is being called into service.
    The human thirst for excellence, knowledge, every step up the ladder of science, every adventurous reach into space, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, even the wars that we’ve fought have provided us the tools to wage this terrible battle. Through all the chaos that is our history, through all of the wrong and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, through all of our times, there is one thing that has nourished our souls, and elevated our species above its origins, and that is our courage.
    The dreams of an entire planet are focused tonight on those fourteen brave souls traveling into the heavens. And may we all, citizens the world over, see these events through. God speed, and good luck to you.
