It’s amazing how one little thought, idea, or action could have seriously shortened some of my favorite movies and solved most of the characters’ problems. Examples:
It’s amazing how one little thought, idea, or action could have seriously shortened some of my favorite movies and solved most of the characters’ problems. Examples:
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure:
“oh well, heh heh. I’ll just take up skateboarding.”
That’s one of my all-time favorite movies, and the fact that Frances doesn’t even keep the bike drives me up the wall. Poor Pee-Wee.
Star Wars:
Uncle Owen: No Luke you can’t come look at the droids with me. Clean the fucking condensors like I asked.
Pulp Fiction:
Meh. . . it’s just a watch.
Oh, man, don’t give George Lucas any ideas. He may want to add that line and then re-release a five minute Star Wars.
I love it when you do this
Pulp Fiction – Jules to Vinnie “kill Marvin in the apartment to and let’s not stop food.”
Haywire – “Yeah, dude, I’m not taking the overseas gig”.
Spiderman – “Aunt Mae, this radioactive spider bit me. I need to go to the doctor”
Reality Bites – “I’m going to go work and the Gap with Janeane Garafalo and be more responsible”
“With great power you can do whatever you want, including nothing with it.”
Man, I haven’t seen Reality Bites in forever. I saw that movie twice in the theater and owned the soundtrack. I was a junior in high school when it came out and even then I thought Ethan Hawke’s character was a complete dick.
You were in high school?! I had been practicing law for four years when that came out. Can we still be blog friends if, you know, I’m OLD?
Of course! I was pretty much born an 80 year old. So really, I’m probably older than you.
Cindy – I’m an OLD lawyer, too, and she still likes me, so I think you’re good! 🙂
Yup!
The BIG one kills me! So funny. But then again, that bitch probably would have turned him into a super tall giant, then it would be a movie about him being a teenaged basketball star or something.
Princess Bride – “As you wish . . . Hey, let’s get married, settle down and raise some goats. Fame and fortune is for losers!”
Yeah, I guess he actually needs to specify the exact height since Zoltar really doesn’t have much else to do but sit around and figure out ways to misinterpret people’s wishes.
I love these! I wish I could think of one-line movie-enders. But the only things I think of are actions or non-actions, not lines. But I’ll enjoy reading these!
Thanks, Red!
Do some more! You are saving me HOURS of endless movie watching!
Oh no! I want people to watch MORE movies.
Trust me, as long as there is video I will be watching movies. But you’re more entertaining than quite a number of them.
Well, thank you , Jo.
The Birdcage: “I already told them I have two dads.”
Also, “That’s clearly a dude, what the hell is going on?”
I love that you included “Stand By Me” because I’m in that movie. 🙂 They filmed it outside of my hometown and all of the extras in the barfing scene were from my high school.
Did you get vomited on? I know it wasn’t real vomit, but I imagine that set started to smell after a while.
You picked a great still for Psycho. I can’t stop looking at her face and giggling.
That’s the moment when she decides to commit to her bad decision. I always try and make that same face when I’m making bad decisions.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind:
“Maybe these mash potatoes don’t mean anything. Pass the gravy please.”
Ha! Good one. “I decided to make glazed carrots instead of mashed potatoes for dinner.”
All these are awesome, but the Stand By Me one is perfect!
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: “Skipping school is wrong.”
Raising Arizona: “Maybe we weren’t meant to have children.”
The Big Lebowski: “Oh, so sorry. We have the wrong Lebowski.”
Ha! Ferris Bueller: “I’ve realized that education is important, I’m gonna go to school today.”
Wow. You’ve given me a whole new perspective. But now I’m scared to make choices. What if I make the wrong one? So…much…pressure….
Oh, don’t worry, if you don’t get it right you could always do a re-boot.
Haha I love this!
The Dark Knight:
What’s that son? You’re afraid of bats? Chill the hell out we’re watching opera. No one’s going into the dark alley.
Yeah, if there was just a “no dark alleys” rule across the board, that would shorten a lot of movies!
