Top 10 Movie Lines #5- Saw- "I Want to Play a Game"


Number 5 is from all the Saw movies. It's the tight part where Jigsaw always says "I WANT TO PLAY A GAME". FWIW the "all your life" and "the choice is yours" are also on par with this. It's tight because whenever Ronnie comes over we always talk in the saw voice even when it's not on the tv.

"pass the doritos. pepsi or coke, the choice is yours" LOL

Top 10 Movie Lines #6- Old School- "Maybe Bed Bath & Beyond"


WGBW, #6 is from the tight movie Old School. Frank is getting peer pressured into drinking at the party and explains his busy day with his wife that he's anticipating.

"Actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."

Top 10 Movie Lines #7- Eastbound and Down- "I'm not an ass man"


Alright blog world, I was on the fence about including TV shows, but the countdown wouldn't be complete without them. #7 is from Season 2 of Eastbound and Down. Kenny is leaving Mexico and has to say goodbye to Vida by finally coming to terms with his true identity. Only one line long but he gets to the point. "not an ass man. I'm a tit man."

Top 10 Movie Lines #8 - Notting Hill- I'm Just a Girl


Whats good blog world. #8 on the countdown is from the hit movie Notting Hill. Now I know it's super girly and all, but it's some good stuff. One of the best RomCom lines of all time. "After all...I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Top notch

Top 10 Movie Lines: #9 - Supertroopers "Hey Farva, what's that place you like"


This part's pretty much self-explanatory. The cops are all sitting around smoking and get Farva to say shenanigans and it's tight.

"I swear to god I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says shenanigans. Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks? You mean shenanigans?"

Top 10 Movie Lines: #10 - Road Trip "Oh We Got It Kyle"


#10 is from Roadtrip. It's when they're in the process of explaining all the ways you can cheat without actually cheating. Kyle has that sick line where he goes BECAUSE IT'S YOUR DOG. GET IT? OH WE GOT IT KYLE.

Top 10 Movie Lines: Explanations for Rankings

Just a few thoughts and how I'll probably be ranking these:

a) Historical significance- for me more so than anything. A bunch of these lines have made it into my vocabulary over the years and obvi those will be highly ranked.

b) I'll try to limit the Bad Boys/8 Mile lines that I've rehashed on the blog so many times.

c) I don't care about actually famous lines. The 'here's looking at you kid/you can't handle the truth' stuff is fine and all but I'm not going to read up on what Roger Ebert thinks is good.

d) I've realized that there's more than 10 actually good quotes- it'll be lucky if any of your favorites make the list.

e) TV appearances possible but not likely- they might just make another countdown- I'm not quite sure yet.

Wgtf, as I'm sitting here watching the KU game we thought of a new countdown. We'll be counting down top 10 movie lines of all time. Hopefully it'll be a good one TW

Horrible Bosses


1) Uhhhhhh. This movie was pretty bad. The plot was pretty unrealistic and even at just over an hour and a half it was too long.

2) I think most of the problem starts with the cast. That Charlie guy from It's Always Sunny always tries to be way over the top and it gets annoying. It's kind of the reason that Stephen Colbert annoys the hell out of me. If you google image search either one of them they always have these goofy looks on their face that they think are funny. If nobody laughed they'd just look stupid lol. Even look at his face in the movie poster, it's like why is he looking at the camera like that? #smh

3) Jennifer Aniston was super tight in this movie. Charlie shoulda made moves with her. For how much she's aged since Friends she's still a looker.

4) Sounds like the better solution is just to get another job lol,

Anchorman


1) It was pretty funny but just way over the top most of the time. I think this and Talladega Nights are really when Will Ferrell movies went bad. Like Old School and what not were super tight but this one was pretty ho hum.

2) Maybe it's just the whole story line to begin with. I mean, the movies about a TV station from back in the day. Who managed to come up with such a boring storyline? Even the end drug on and on. What was so important about the pregnant panda? #smh

3) Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd are pretty tight, but I think I'm more influenced by their appearances in Friends than anything else lol.

4) I know I'm in the minority here, but this one was below average,

How Do You Know?


Wgbw, sorry for the delays. School is getting busy again lol.

1) Man was this boring. She gets fired from the softball team (who gets fired from a softball team??) and has to go hang out with her chick loving boyfriend Owen Wilson. Then Paul Rudd, whos facing some white collar crime charges, calls her to not take her out on a date.

2) The whole movie just repeats the above paragraph like 1400 times with no real progress. She comes home to Owen Wilson, who's still seeing other chicks, and then calls Paul Rudd and they don't make love. Rinse and repeat again.

3) Then there's the chick from A Lot Like Love and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days who's randomly pregnant and intertwined with the story somehow.

4) I wonder if during their downtime on the set Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd just talked about how tight it was to be on the best show of all time Friends.

Despite the promising cast, this one was a sinker,

Bridesmaids


1) Wgbw, sorry for the delays, last week has been busy as nuts. Don't worry though, you didn't miss much in the interim period (this movie lol).

2) I'll preface the review by saying I'm not really wild about weddings generally so that will obviously influence where this is going. It's good to see your friends get married and I like RomComs and all, but I never understood all the months of planning over a one night party, and why they make you take so many pictures.

3) That said, this one was a stinker. The whole plot of the movie is some girl is mad that another girl gets to plan her friend's wedding. It's like, who cares who plans the wedding? Why would you care if the wedding was French themed or not? And why would you get mad that it ended up being French themed but you just didn't get credit for it? It's not like she invented the lightbulb, she just came up with the theme of a party for christs sakes.

4) And it just keeps going and going. When I looked at how long this movie was it befuddled me that it could be longer than 2 hours. And now I'm still befuddled how they could drag this mundane plot line out so long. IT'S ABOUT TWO PEOPLE FIGHTING OVER WHO'S PLANNING A WEDDING. It's like if they made a movie called "the passenger seat" and the whole movie was about who could sit up front. It's like who cares, just let somebody sit there, and let's get the hell on the road.

5) It had it's funny parts, but the last hour just TKO's this,

Crazy, Stupid, Love


1) It was really tight. Top notch stuff all the way around. It had the pretty usual RomCom framework but had that sick ending where you didn't realize everyone had all those connections to everyone. Good stuff.

2) There was just a bunch of small stuff that was tight about it. I'm not a big fan of really anyone that was in the movie but they all made it rain together. Those references to the Karate Kid were super tight.

3) Besides the whole 'put everything back together thing' I don't think it would've been the end of the world if Steve Carrell just took off with the good looking school teacher. I mean,

a) Julianne Moore just does cheat on him and divorces him out of nowhere.
b) She gets mad after he makes it rain after she dumped him- why should she care?
c) The other girl was tight
d) I can't stop thinking about Julianne Moore being from the tight movie HANNIBAL. I'm not sure she's real suited for RomComs.

4) It gets kind of drawn out in the middle when Ryan Gosling starts courting that girl but whatever.

No wonder Alan saw this in theaters (lol),

A-

Bad Teacher


1) It was super raunchy which I'm always a big fan of. All the general immature humor is generally top notch too.

2) Justin Timberlake was kind of a n00b the whole movie. I get that he was supposed to play a n00b but I thought he was still pretty mediocre. Jkasten42 kept saying that movie Friends With Benefits is top notch, but I think the jury's already reached a conclusion about this one.

3) They really shoulda let Jason Segal make it rain more. He was real good in Knocked Up and I Love You Man (which I'm unsure why I haven't reviewed) but for some reason he didn't really have a huge role in this one.

4) Me and Roger Ebert are generally on the same page ranking movies, but I'm afraid he was out to lunch here.

Toy Story 3


Wgbw, coming at you on one of the worst days of the year :(, but it was a hell of an october. Hopefully it's even better next year!

1) I'm not terribly wild about any of these animated movies but this one was better then its counterparts.

2) It's been like 15 years since I watched the last toy story movies, and I used to dig them back in the day. Obvi I'm not wild about them now, but this was pretty much on par with all the old ones.

3) It seemed like it was a little over the top at the end where all the unbelievable stuff almost killed them all like 400 different times. I get that it's an animated kids movie and all but give me a break.

4) I guess the ending was kind of sad when he ends up moving off to college.

It was good, but I'm not sure I could sit through it very many more times,
