The disappointments, for me, are that (a) there isn't a single line of dialogue on this poster I'm not sick of, and (b) the creators could have thrown in at least four or five half-obscures.

"There isn't a single line of dialogue on this poster I'm not sick of."

Exactly what I thought.

Same damn quotes over-and-over. Same damn clips over-and-over. Oh, I've got an idea, why don't I write a book about Gone With the Wind! Cause you can never have enough books about Gone With the Wind. To tear up and line bird-cages with.

With 11 Oscars including Best Screenplay the least they could do with the best Best Picture winner of the new Millenium was to throw in "Frodo!" You LOTR haters are about as much use as chump change for a chimpanzee tea party.

What a mess. I can think of at least a dozen quotes better, one being from Dodsworth - "Love's got to stop some place short of suicide!"

Indeed. Just saw UNFAITHFULLY YOURS again last night, which has one of my all-time favorite Preston Sturges lines: Edgar Kennedy telling symphony conductor Rex Harrison that "nobody handles Handel the way you handle Handel."

"I can get you a toe with polish by 3:00." "You see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?!"

So many to choose from. Yet missing from that poster. Shame.

Hey Walter: There can be no doubt that your everyday ejaculate is worth far more than most of those. But I'm also sorry they forgot maestro Eli Cross: "If God could do the tricks that we can do, he'd be a Happy Man!"
