One of my favorite movie quotes. From Ridley Scott's The Duelists. Strangely enough, it reminds me of the last line in Orwell's 1984. "He had learned to love Big Brother". I could make a comment about today's political nonsense, but I'd rather stay out of trouble and just paint Boxers, Grenzers and Comanche. Anyway, feel free to add favorite movie or book quotes. Try to find 2 or more that are vaguely similar. |

From (the best) Three Musketeers
A background extra fishing & calling,
"Here Mackerell! Here Mackerell!" And I absolutely love how Sean Bean delivered this line:
"They have a cave troll." |

Major Strasser: You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American. Captain Renault: We musn't underestimate "American blundering". I was with them when they "blundered" into Berlin in 1918. -- Casablanca (1942) |
