Movie Quotes in Everyday Life

[glitterbug]

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. I fart in your general direction. I blow my nose at you, you English pig-dogs.

Not one exactly for everyday use but still very effective in the right situation.

[duskwolf]

Mr. Wolf and I are constantly quoting this one from Point Break, especially during other Keanu movies:

"You're going down, it's gotta be that way."

And somehow, it never fails to amuse us.

I like to roll around on the floor with my legs in the air as Premium Fantasy Woman from Lost in Translation:

Lip them. Hey! Lip my stocking! Oh Mr. Hallis! Don't touch me! Mr. Bob Hallis! Just lip my stocking.

[MrsCatHead]

MrCatHead and I like to say, when children aren't near, "Now, let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet" a la The Wolf, with an occasional, "I'm on the MuthaFucka, Jules" from Pulp Fiction.

We constantly quote from our favorite movies. Even my 7yr old daughter will say, "No no, that's all I have to say" from Romy and Michele. Once, when we were searching for our rental car in a parking lot whilst traveling, she laughed and said, "Where's your car, Dude?" Gotta love that kid.

Lip them. Hey! Lip my stocking!

This is constantly used in my house. Along with references to "black toe."

Also frequently used, just because we're childish idiots? "You know how I know you're gay? [Insert random annoying thing the other person has done here]." You know you're a giant nerd when you find yourself using that line on a friend who is, in fact, gay. And doesn't know what the hell you're talking about.

My 3-year-old niece is fond of quoting "Spider-man:" "God speed, Spi-er-Man!" and "Hello, my dear!" are favorites (when you ask her who says the latter line, she answers, "Green Goblin says it to MJ!"). It's way too cute. Of course, yesterday I got concerned because she turned to me and said in a faux-Indian accent, "Leave me alone, I'm eating my Ramen Noodles!" a la Apu from "The Simpsons." My brother's response? "Great, we let her watch one episode of 'The Simpsons' and she's doing racially insensitive impressions."

I often call people I can't stand "Frau Bleucher" from Young Frankenstein. I also have a tendency to mutter the "This is Hell. And there is a Crucifix in it," which is paraphrased from "Birdcage" whenever I hear news about some fundamentalist group or ultra-conservative religious group.

But my biggest thing is that I quote "Mommie Dearest." A LOT. Mostly because I worship my mother and she's the furthest thing from Joan Crawford. But sometimes, when she's nagging me about something like skin care for the umpteenth time, I just reply, "Yes, MOMMIE DEAREST." And she just laughs because it's a inside joke between us.

I also have a bad tendency to respond with "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS! EVER" to things I don't want to do or like. It doesn't matter what the subject is, but that's how I show my refusal or disgust.

My problem? Just mentioning "Mommie Dearest" gets me in the whole Joan Crawford/movie quoting mood. And I end up walking around with "no wire hangers" going through my head like a broken record on repeat. It's already starting to happen now....

"Mommie Dearest" used to be a family favorite in our house. My sister gets really irritated with me whenever I hear her bossing her husband around (which is often), because I'll shout "CHRISTINA! BRING ME (insert object here)!!" a la the "bring me an axe" scene. She's also obsessed with cleanliness, so "We'll clean it together!" is used frequently, and of course, "No wire hangers!"

My boyfriend gets hysterical/really freaked out by the littlest thing, so I'll hear him gasp or exclaim from the other room and I'll mock him by shouting, "Aaaah! I've pierced the toast!" Oh, "The Birdcage," I love you.

Also frequently used in my house: "It's not a mundane detail, Michael!" from "Office Space," and a new one is "No, Robbie, not like Europe!" from "War of the Worlds." Yes, it's a weird house.

My problem? Just mentioning "Mommie Dearest" gets me in the whole Joan Crawford/movie quoting mood. And I end up walking around with "no wire hangers" going through my head like a broken record on repeat. It's already starting to happen now....

"Showtime!"

There is not enough time in the world for me to use all the Mommie Dearest quotes I want to my satisfaction.

I also used "That's no moon... it's a space station!" before Twister co-opted it, dammit! (Or, in tribute to Mommie Dearest, make that "DAMMIIIIIT!")

[gemstone]

From Fight Club - "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken!" and, of course, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school." and, "Just slide."

From Pulp Fiction - "It's the one that says Bad MuthaFucka." I love it....Jules's "duh" tone of voice cracks me up.

I also often raise my fist and say, "I rule." ala Lester in American Beauty.

From the ever-quotable Point Break, Patrick Swayze explaining the deep meaning of his former relationship with Lori Petty:
She was my lady, man. We shared time.

Never gets old.
