For my audition tonight, I had to read the last half of Quint's monologue.
I AM NOT ROBERT SHAW! THAT IS NOT FAIR.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Robert Shaw wasn't Quint. He had to act like he was Quint.

I would have just said "Dollllllls eyessssss" over and over again for a minute or two.
Except maybe somewhere in there I might have said "But y'are, Blanche! Y'are in that chair!" Just to mix it up.

You could have added, "You see that fella in the red sweather over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd. Because if he ever finds out I can be beat by one lousy grifter, I'll have to kill him and every other hood who wants to muscle in on my Chicago operation. Ya follow?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know we've talked about Keanu here before. Here's a giant thread on Reddit about what a cool guy he is: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I knew a girl who was best friends with his sister in high school. When you're playing that game where you say one false thing and three true things and one of the things is "I've slept in Keanu's bed" you get heads whipping round.

Have you ever heard a Keanu story, greedyiguana, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to verify that story? How would you know the difference between the dream Keanu and the real Keanu?

I have liked Keanu ever since I heard the story that when he got his percentage of the profits from Matrix, he gave a whole bunch of it to the wardrobe crew. Sounds like he does stuff like that all the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is it weird that I want to see the T.I. movie more than the A-Team? I mean, is it weird that I'm thinking of it as "the T.I. movie"?

Uh, I think so.
What movie are you talking about?
I think I want to see the A Team because a) I need to know if it's more fun than The Losers b) Bradley Cooper is hawt c) Rampage can act? d) A Team show was fun.
Which, really, if it gets me to buy a ticket, who cares, but that's totally the wrong order.
