I don’t know how old this is but Liquid Generation has assembled a 200-second Oscar-telecasty video featuring 100 of the best known (which is to say the most overused and over-referenced) movie-dialogue lines. It’s very depressing to think that some think that these lines represent the best that Hollywood screenwriters have churned out over the last 80 years. The mentality behind this video is so Broadway tourist/shopping-mall/shmuck-level.
I’d love to see…I don’t know, a ten-minute video of the 100 wisest, wittiest and most penetrating (or pithy or dazzling and emotionally resonant) lines. I’ve come to really hate lines like “you had me at hello” — fuck you! Although I found it fairly satisfying, truth be told, when I first heard it in Jerry Ma-fucking-guire.
