Seriously? "I'm kind of the world!" is cheesier than "I will never let go"?
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." IJS.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Probably, but it's famous cos it's the line Tarantino misquotes (as "you can ride my tail anytime") in the gay Top Gun speech in Sleep With Me.
Such a fabulous movie moment, that.
(Signed, has owned Sleep With Me on VHS and DVD, and still knows all the lines.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." IJS.
I think this line has been rescued from cheesiness by the fact that it can be turned into so many different kinds of wrong. My favorite being "Love means always having to say you're sorry." Or, "Love means never having to say you look fat in that dress."

Calli, Frank.... If they make A Lion In Winter with Pauly Shore and an Olsen twin, I'm blaming both of you.
I haven't seen the film, but I feel "They wore hats," which had me collapsing in giggles every time I saw the trailer, deserves at least an honorable mention.
Oh, Jess.... You need to see it for the BADNESS!
"I'm the king of the world" is so immediately identifiable -- I never hear it without thinking of Titanic.
Actually, even having seen Titanic several times, whenever I hear the line, I actually think of Jimmy Cagney's line in White Heat (where he plays a hard core killer), just before he EXPLODES.
(Actually, Cagney's line is "Top of the world," but both characters dedicate their declarations to their mothers. I never understood why Cameron chose to echo that particular line. I suspect he'd never seen White Heat)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, Jess.... You need to see it for the BADNESS!
Oh yes. So many scenes are laughable.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I've only seen the parody on The Simpsons. Lisa walks by a demo of the DVD's "director's commentary" function. The entire commentary is Costner saying: "I am sorry. I am so, so sorry..."

The entire commentary is Costner saying: "I am sorry. I am so, so sorry..."
Then it turns out that it's not a commentary on the DVD, but Kevin Costner standing behind the TV.

Hee! I forgot that part.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Usually I'm not too intense about minutiae when casting for comic book films. I allow for liberties to be taken. I didn't expect the actor playing Wolverine to really be five-foot-three and I didn't require Wilson Fisk to be white (I did require the movie not to suck, but that's another rant entirely). However, John Constantine needs to be really sarcastic, blond (his look was modeled after Sting), and most important, English. That they couldn't be bothered to give us any of the three shows a distressing lack of intelligence. Keanu can do smoldering and that's about it.

I still think Callum Keith Rennie would have been a perfect Constantine.
