My fave Arizona line:
"Hi, I need a baby in the worst way."
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

LOVE Raising Arizona. I'd forgotten about the "Not lessen round is funny," line. It made me crack up.
I haven't looked at the AFI quote list yet, but here's one I haven't seen people quoting here that I'd expect to be on there:
"Hey buddy, can you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?"

I just read an excellent review of Jarhead by James Berardinelli. Sounds like an interesting take on the war movie genre:
But, instead of accomplishing what they were trained to do, they wait, and Godot is nowhere to be found. Portraying these personality transformations is where Jarhead excels, and the reason why this isn't just another of the growing number of dramas about the Gulf War.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So, I'm thinking about renting a some silly "scary" movies tonight for a possible party. I was inspired by the discussion of Alone in the Dark here a couple days ago. Anyone have any suggestions for something ostensibly "scary" that will 1, not horrify and 2, please a bunch of comedians?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, returning to an old topic, I rediscovered a movie last night that scared the crap out of me. It's the Tony Shalhoub remake (I think it's a remake) of 13 Ghosts.
