I SO Just Got That!

Me three! What an eerie resemblance.

Yeah, Chris Walken used to be a pretty good loooking guy, huh?

I know this thread is about movies but I just had to parade my shame somewhere! You know how on this site, the title of the thread is Musical Notes? Well... Yes, I so just got that...

Okay, I've popped out of my void of non-hipness to ask another question. "Flames, flames on the side of my face" is a reference to...what, exactly? ::ducks::#nosmileys

It's from "Clue". I believe it's said by Mrs. White when talking about how she hated the woman who had an affair with her husband.

Ooohhhh. Thanks, I would have been confused about that for all eternity.

It took me forever to realise that the younger brother from Legends of the Fall is the same kid that stashed ET in his closet.

Slightly OT, but I just realized that the line, "I could buy you some art - a Picasso or a Garfunkel" from the song If I had a Million Dollars refers to two kinds of art - a painting and the guy, Art Garfunkel. Duh. And all this time, I thought there was some famous artist named Garfunkel who painted something I had never seen or heard of.

ETA: I just realized after watching the Behind the Scenes stuff from Jason X (shut up!) that the chanting from the Friday the 13th movies actually says, "Kill, kill, kill, kill... Ma, ma, ma, ma." It was such an epiphany that I can't even remember what I used to think it said. The memory has been erased from my mind. I know it wasn't "Kill, Mama", though.

Here’s an “I So Just Go That” on behalf of someone I know. She had just seen the musical Evita and I heard her quietly singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina. She was singing, "...the truth is, I never loved you..." (instead of "left you"). Just as I'm wondering whether to say something, she continues, "I kept my promise, you keep your distance..." (instead of don't keep your distance).

Well, at this point I just had to point out that she had the lyrics so wrong that it was actually changing the meaning of the whole song. She fought me on it: She explained that Evita's up there on a balcony with the crowd far below, thus reinforcing the command to "keep your distance" and she explained that the "the truth is, I never loved you" was why she was telling them it's not worth crying for her, because she doesn't really give a damn about them.

Well, good thing for the internet because, for once, I knew I was right, and I went and looked up the lyrics. She was blown away. She had a definite "I So Just Got That!" moment.

We watched Evita in my senior year Spanish class in highschool, and about halfway through that song a girl in the next row had an "I so just got that!" moment. It was pretty hilarious, because she just burst out, like "OH! Crying like yelling, not tears. She's saying 'don't shout for me, I'm just like you!'"
