anything the Drill Sargent said in Full Metal Jacket…

Charley Malloy: Look, kid, I – how much you weigh, Slick? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.
Terry Malloy: It wasn’t him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, “Kid, this ain’t your night. We’re going for the price on Wilson.” You remember that? “This ain’t your night”! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn’t have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Charley Malloy: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.
Terry Malloy: You don’t understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it. It was you, Charley.

  • On the Waterfront. Best dang movie about a boxer ever made. Too bad Elia Kazan didn’t practice what he preached, that backstabbing piece of crap.

Classic Hong Kong film lines:

“You are killing me to death”
“These bullets a so hot. Why am I so cold?”

“Allow myself to introduce…myself.”
"Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Small hands. Smell like cabbage. "

To paraphrase A Few Good Men “I think he’s earned it.”

Fear and Loathing

how long could we maintain, I wondered. how long before one of us began raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family. Would he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manterays coming down on the car?
If so, well, we’ll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere. Cos it goes without saying that we can’t turn him loose. he would report us at once to some sort of outback law enforcement agency and they’ll run us down like dogs.
Gees did I just say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? did they hear me? :stuck_out_tongue:

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fu(king big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disk players and electrical tin openers… Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose DIY and wondering who the fu(k you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on the coach watching mind-numbing , spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in amiserable home nothing more than an embarassement to the selfish,fu(ked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself… Choose your future. Choose life… But why would i want to do a thing like that?
I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? there are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?

(FBI warning before Fight Club)
If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all those who claim it? Do you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think everything you’re supposed to think? Buy what you’re told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned…

“I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived – an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; or they’re slaves with white collars. Advertisements have them chasing cars and clothes, working jobs they hate so they can buy $hit they don’t need. We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to believe that we’d be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars – but we won’t. And we’re learning that fact. And we’re very, VERY ****ed-off.”

"I came here for two reasons: to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum…and I’m all out of bubblegum!!

“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock …”
