So, are you saying that classical music is a higher or more enlightened form of music than rap? 'Cause there are some people out there might disagree with you, just as we are here, and that is what caused you to get into a hissy-fit in the first place: being unable to accept that some people might not share your opinion.

Let's see 50 Cent make something on the level of Beethoven's 9th and then we'll talk.

I am saying to each his own. There are amazing rap songs just as there are incredibly powerful classical songs. Just as the same way there are amazing comedies (say Duck Soup), just as there are great classical dramas (like Citizen Kane).

Wow, the count for the 1 rating keeps rising.

My airplane quote:
Ted Striker: I flew single engine fighters in the Air Force, but this plane has four engines. It's an entirely different kind of flying altogether.
Rumack, Randy: [together] It's an entirely different kind of flying.

Actually I was rather enjoying the Airplane quotes, and I'd quite like it if they continued.

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

Railroader, you try too hard. It's beginning to annoy me.

Please stop.

OK, you sure told me.

Elaine Dickinson: You got a letter from headquarters this morning.
Ted Striker: What is it?
Elaine Dickinson: It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important.

Rex Kramer: Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. It's a dumb question... skip it.

I like this thread now.

What is it like having sex while dressed like a monkey?

BlueSky · Mar 8, 2007, 05:04 PM

How do monkeys usually dress?

Because no one here (unless they know Cyrillic AND movies enough) would know what you were you were talking about. You just come off as pretentious. Easy mistake.

Making yourself understood is more productive than being a snob.

Get with it, erik:

Airplane.

This thread is about quotes from Airplane.

"Excuse me, Miss - I speak Jive."

Railroader · Mar 8, 2007, 08:55 PM

First Jive Dude: **** man, that honky mus' be messin' my old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head. You know?
Second Jive Dude: Hey home, I can dig it. You know he ain't gonna lay no mo' big rap up on you man.

Second Jive Dude: Eh. Yo knock yourself a pro slick, gray matter live performas down now take TCB'in man.

First Jive Dude, Second Jive Dude: Leg 'er down 'n smack 'em yak 'em
First Jive Dude: Cold got to be. You know? Shiiiiit.

:dragonflypro: · Mar 8, 2007, 09:16 PM

Johnny: …and Leon is getting Laaaaaarrger!

Or the best possibly the best recap ever:

Rex Kramer: 'What happened so far?'

Johnny: First, the earth cooled and then the dinosaurs came but they got to big and fat and then they died…and then the arabs came and they bought Mercedes-Benz's…'

I think that brings us up to 2003

analogika · Mar 9, 2007, 11:54 AM

Not an Airplane quote, but pretty funny nonetheless.

Clerk: Do you swear on the Constitution of the United States to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Jive Talker (Witness): Ain't no thing.
He slaps the clerk's book and the clerk uses his book to slap the hand back as if "giving fives" to each other (This always gets me)

olePigeon · Mar 9, 2007, 01:54 PM

Kramer: Standby Striker. Our one hope is to build this man up, I've got to give him all the confidence I can. Striker- have you ever flown a multi-engine plane before?
Striker: NO, never.
Kramer: ( TO McCrosky thinking that the radio to Striker is off) SH*T! This is a God damned waste of time, there's no way he can land that plane.

Damn it, I'm already laughing my ass off at work. My absolute favorite scene.

Young Boy with Coffee: Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.
Little Girl: Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.
Young Boy with Coffee: Cream?
Little Girl: No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.

Highlighting and clicking 'B' can indeed be complicated using a mouse.

This would be handy time saver, and could add 5.31 posts per day to my count.

Would anyone object to this being implemented? Could it be implemented?

Thanks.

Ah yes, bitter and torn. Though I'll be somewhat surprised if yours has the dried hooker blood too. That was unrelated.

Gossamer · Mar 9, 2007, 03:06 PM

For the record I did recall that post of yours when I was typing my reply, and I originally had typed "I've never actually used those buttons" but decided that "noticed" would make my post more exciting.

Dakar² · Mar 9, 2007, 03:09 PM

I appreciate the effort, but I was bound and determined to make a bitter vindictive post no matter what your reply. It's the nature of my charm.

It's even funnier because they got the actual two people from LAX to do that.

ironknee · Mar 11, 2007, 10:34 PM

i just finished watching babel

it was good but i wanted it to tie things up in the end.

the mexican nanny and that story didn't add up to much

the japanese girl: why did she lie about her mother's death? why didn't thefather say anything after coming home and seeing his daughter naked? was that normal? what was in the note she gave the police officer?

the brad story: i agreed with the other tourists that they should leave. maybe go get help?

the 2 brothers: the younger one spying on...who was that his sister?
