Re: Overused Movie Lines
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Hero: Why me? Government official: Because you're the best. [/ QUOTE ] To quote Adam Carolla: "I want this to happen to me once in my life, someone coming to me on my porch and telling me they need me, cause I'm the best." "I love how the guy always has to think about it. Just once I want this to happen. "Hey Jack, we..." "I'm in, what's the job?" [/ QUOTE ] Lol, this is what happened in The Office where Dwight is goes to recruit Creed after he suspects Jim is a vampire. Really loved that scene!

Re: Overused Movie Lines
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Someone is at a restaurant and gets some bad/worrisome news and immediately orders a strong drink, e.g., "Waiter! I'll have a Manhattan!" or if they've already ordered one, "Better make it a double," etc. This was even done on The Office, which really annoyed me. [/ QUOTE ] On a bit of a tangent, what about when someone goes up to the bar and says, "I'll have a beer." The movie bartender always just nods and goes to get one. WTF? What kind of beer? In their efforts to go out of the way to avoid unpaid product placement, now we have to endure scenes where you can just say 'beer' and have to live with whatever they bring you. Even worse, sometimes they show up with a product placement anyway. If I say beer and I'm given Budweiser, I'd be pretty pissed. I want to be able to say 'beer' and be handed a [censored] Newcastle. [/ QUOTE ] I have to agree with this. If you're trying that hard to avoid product placement, which sounds better? A: "Whatdaya want?" B: "A beer." A: "Whatdaya want?" B: "Whatever you got on tap."
