Do you ever find yourself blurting out 80s movie quotes while having a conversation with someone? Sometimes they get it and sometimes they dont.
For example, my sister and I were at a three year olds B-Day party. My niece who is also three was running for the cake. We knew she wanted to stick her fingers in it, so I yelled to my sister "Get her!"
She laughed and said "that was your plan? Get her?"
I cracked up cuz that was a line from Ghostbusters, but apparently nobody else there got the joke.
Anyway, I got tons of other quotes I use, an was jsut wondering if anyone else suffers from this same problem?

All the time at work. However, they know me, and so they just smile and then move on.
Mind you, I got very strange looks when I used the line 'You look good wearing my future' in a meeting...... Posted by Obscurus Lupa (Member # 2700) on :
Heh heh, no one gets my references. I was at the dentist getting my braces fixed and said, "We can rebuild her." I think she actually got it, though.
I should just call pizza "za" one of these days and see if anyone notices.

Ali, this is a great topic. I live my life by the quotes in 80's movies actually. That is why it is fun here, because most of the people on The Rewind get what I'm saying.
There is nothing funnier than watching the look on someone's face when you do a 80's movie quote and they totally don't have a clue about it. Luckily most of my friends are from the 80's, so they get most of what I'm saying....kinda.
However, the people at my work must think I'm stuck in a time warp though. Try telling your work buddies that "Valley Girl" is your favorite movie. The looks that day were priceless....

Not just 80's quotes, all kinds of quotes...
My faves at the moment seem to be Little Britain and Shaun of The Dead...
Noms Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Yeah I use some quotes that are from newer films as well. One that always makes me laugh but is kind of crude is one from "Not Another Teen Movie".
It's the scene where they are spoofing "The Breakfast Club". The Principal says something to one of the kids, the kid says something back and the principal says "Well cry me a river D**Kface"!
Anytime one of friends starts complainig about something too much, I tend to blurt it out. Sometimes it hurts their feelings, but if they've seen the movie, then they get it.
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
Let's get this back on the *EIGHTIES* track (No offense, Val and Ali, but let's remember that this IS an *EIGHTIES* board ).
I always quote "The Wild Life" and say "It's Casual" whenever somebody apologizes to me or suggests something for us to do.
Whenever somebody mentions guns or cocaine, I always quote dialogue from "Scarface".
I'll often use the line "Go Ahead...Make My Day!" from "Sudden Impact" when I hear an annoying song and pretend to point a gun at the radio.
Sometimes I'll quote Mel Gibson's "Lethal Weapon" speech when he talks about what's preventing him from commiting suicide. I quote it because I can relate to it.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff
Posted by Obscurus Lupa (Member # 2700) on :
I quote The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra quite a bit, which is a 2004 movie made to spoof 1950's monster flicks. Especially the "horrible mutilation" banter.
"Well I've never been horribly mutilated, but I don't want to start now thank you."
"I don't mind sitting sometimes."
"Yes, you'll find most Earth sharing works this way. In fact, it's really like I'm sharing, with myself!"
"Well, I guess in my time I've seen a bear do things that even a bear wouldn't do."

I do it constantly...probably ever day...and my mom and my Aunt-who was just here visiting are really the only people who actually "get me"(in the real world).
When my Aunt was here...she took a picture of me on her digital camera...and of course I hated it, so I said...delete it, and she said...no way dude, I need it to blackmail you with it...and I said give it to me...and she shoved it in her pocket...it was one of those tiny cameras about the size of a lighter...and I started jumping up and down...and I said...don't make me hurt you...and she said...bring it on, so I grabbed her, and held both her arms together...and she started yelling I was hurting her bad arm...but she lied...she just wanted to get away, but the whole thing made us laugh so hard...we couldn't breath...anyway she's telling people about the whole "incident" later...and said what a maniac I was...and she says.... "Leroy...give me those shoes!!! Give them to me!!! That's from the Bad Seed...and I just cracked up laughing...it was one of those...I guess you had to be there moments.
But...me and my mom quote Arthur all the time...we always say " Don't you hate Perry's wife...when we don't like something...and when we bump in to each other...we'll say..."awe...it's just a hedge". We think it is funny...nobody else would get it.
I always say..."Don't you wish you were me...I know I do." from Arthur.
I always say "I know you are, but what am I?" from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
I use Spiccoli's line "Don't hassle it" alot and I've said "Aces" like Samantha in Sixteen Candles on more than one occassion. I know there's more. I need to think about this. But I agree with you guys, most people don't get it. It doesn't stop me though. I live for quotes.
Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
Oh yes, when someone makes me mad or ****es me off I say, "You know, you're really acting like...an a**hole" just like Ginny in Sixteen Candles.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I always here guys trying to pull off a terrible accent while saying "Say hello to my little friend!"
I also here guys quoting the Godfather movies alot.
I always have a habit of saying things from Goodfellas. There are so many good lines in that one.
If I tell a joke to somebody and they laugh I like to say "Am I here to amuse you?"
I can hear Joe Pesci saying that as I write this. Posted by Earth Angel (Member # 3301) on :
Yeah im glad to see Im not alone....people invariably dont get it and look at me like a freak...although when someone does get the quote...especially if its obscure....you know youve met a kindred high spirit Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I find myself saying 80's quotes often, even when I don't realise it, it's only when younger people give me perplexed looks as to what exactly I'm talking about. The one I use most is when someone is asking me what I'm doing, I say I'm going crazy, wanna come? It's from a scene in the move that was then... this is now. I also use some Spicolli too, like I went into this convenience store, and my friend was working there, and I said in this fake stoner voice, "hey, I know you, you used to work at All American burger right"? God, Sixteen Candles and Fast Times are just so quotable aren't they?
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
Let me see if I can think of some more *EIGHTIES* quotes I often use (being as that is supposedly the purpose of this thread )...
When you push carts outside all day, you need to do something to keep yourself entertained all day, so I string together various *EIGHTIES* quotes. I'll often use:
-Mel Gibson's suicide negotiator speech from "Lethal Weapon"
-Eddie Murphy's exchange with the second team cops about the banana in the tailpie from "Beverly Hills Cop"
-The Eddie Murphy/Gilbert Gottfried bribery exchange from "Beverly Hills Cop 2"
-The "106 miles to Chicago" speech from "The Blues Brothers"
-The "I don't condone fascism" speech from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
-Lyrics from "Little Shop Of Horrors", especially the "Dentist" song
There are plenty more that don't come to mind at the moment, but I use them.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Well since I started this thread I really don't care if quotes from newer movies are added. This is a friendly forum with people I like to talk too, and if the content tends to stray from *EIGHTIES* now and then thats ok.
Don't get all bent out of shape and correct people because frankly I find it rude.

I'm tempted to use non-80's quotes just to spite him now.

Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
I was only going by the fact that you didn't say anything about modern quotes in your first post. You should've specified it beforehand. Sorry for following your first post to the letter.
Let me guess...You're going to call me "the Gestapo" again, right?

Christ, what's wrong with following the outline? Ali did say the following:
"Do you ever find yourself blurting out 80s movie quotes while having a conversation with someone?"
Nowhere did I see anything in there about modern quotes.

I don't have one. Work and the Internet is all I have. I was just going by your first post. How come it's okay for all of you to go off-topic, but I get strung by the hands trying to keep on-topic?

Who gave you the right to monitor our posts? Last I heard Devo, Paul and Nick were the only moderators here.
Posted by Obscurus Lupa (Member # 2700) on :
I think what Ali means is . . . It's a given that unless she says "NO NON-80's QUOTES PLEASE," it's a given that straying to quotes that are non-80's is perfectly acceptable and, in fact, not wrong. Unless someone has a problem with the non-80's quotes (that someone being Ali or a mod), then I don't see what the big deal is. Just don't take it so seriously. Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
It's all part of my 80s Avenger routine...I created that alter-alter-ego because I noticed back when this was only an 80s message board that many 90s topics were being bought in.
I was wrong to do this. I'm sorry.
As you'll testify, I've been acting like a jackass in the thread about quoting 80s movies.
I'm not using this as an excuse, but I've been too exacting over the years in trying to follow the rules. This is a self-inflicted problem. I've always believed that everything should be in a certain category or a certain section. I often believe that when a person writes certain words in a post that those phrasings are the set-up for the direction.
I've gone after quite a few people for what I feel is going off-topic, so if you read this, ali, then please believe me when I say you're not the only one I've gone after.
I was instilled from a young age to always follow the rules. I obviously didn't display that decorum in the movie quotes thread. I just don't know when to quit or shut up. I just thought I was trying to be funny, considering that many people here are familiar with my routine. Had I known you would be this angry, I wouldn't have done it.
I can't promise I won't stop this jackass behavior, but I do want you and Obscurus to know that I am sorry.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff

I thought it was all implied that the order of the day was 80s quotes. I guess I thought the idea would've been picked up on. Once again I was wrong and once again I'm sorry.

Hey, no prob with me, dude. Believe me, there are folks who act a LOT worse. This is nothing.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
Well to quote a famous *EIGHTIES* cartoon, you were being a "Smurf". I'm sure that is clear for everyone.
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I was joking so you know. Posted by Obscurus Lupa (Member # 2700) on :
lol I didn't know that you were joking at first and I was like, "Well THAT insult was kinda lame."
Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
LOL, I used to get frustrated as a kid because the smurfs called everything smurfs. LIke if one was fixing something and needed a wrench, hed say "please hand me that SMURF" over there.
Surprisingly everybody knew what "smurf" he was talking about. When everything is a smurf how do you distinguish things from eachother? I'm getting really upset now!
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"SMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURF!
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
Okay by me, ali. Now let's get the Smurf away from this topic and back into talking about usage of movie quotes...No matter what decade they come from.
I'll start off with a favorite 90s quote I often use as an olive branch for my "Smurf-like" behavior.
I often find myself quoting "New Jack City"...To be specific, the line said by Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown:
"Money talks and bull(bleep) runs a marathon, so see ya and I wouldn't want to be ya!"

Awww shoot, what was that cats name anyway? Wasn't it like Azrael or something? I cant spell but I think it was something like that.
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
I think it was Azrael. I haven't seen it in a long time, though. Reruns of it air every morning on my local UPN affiliate, though. I'll be Smurfed if I get up to watch it, though. I need my sleep.

Devolution here,
Everything, and I mean everything, I say goes back to a movie. Or to television. I quote alot of different things. Lots of Married with Children. Lots of Raw. Lots of Hughes. It all depends on the situation. When we are playing basketball, I tend to break out "I'm gonna try out for a scholarship" from the breakfast club. It all depends on who I am with, and who will get the joke. Random lines when no one is around to appreciate them is a waste of humor.
