He Said WHAT?! – Reverse Shot’s Favorite Bits of Non-Classic Dialogue

“This isn’t life, it’s just stuff. And it’s become more important to you than living. Well, honey, that’s just nuts.” (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty)

“I don’t want you blowing it up my urethra.” (Elias Koteas, prying gum from an airport parking garage hooker’s mouth, Crash)

“I’ll see you in another life… when we are both cats.” (Penelope Cruz to disfigured Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky)

“It’s not what I want, it’s what you want, and how bad you want it. ‘Cause it’s gonna cost you. Can’t show it to you right now, but it’s about 5’5”, 115 pounds, three or four of that just pure tit. Nice curly brown hair, upstairs and down.” (JT Walsh, Breakdown)

“Buy me lunch? I eat light.” (Bob Wuhl in Batman)

“Most times, I keep the memory far in the back of my mind, a distant cloud. But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor wholly man, but an unstable combination of both. As unstable as anything Moreau created. And I go… in fear.” (closing monologue of The Island of Dr. Moreau, accompanied by images of L.A. riots)

“Ey’ yo, yo why you trippin’? We’re just fuckin’ with ya. In fact, I’m gonna show you what I mean with a little demonstration. Toss me the burner. [Oldman is tossed a shotgun]  All right, peep this. Pretend this is that fine centerfold bitch, y’know what I’m saying’? And you’re you… [“Floyd” shrugs. Oldman cocks the shotgun and shoots Floyd] (Gary Oldman with dreadlocks, True Romance)

“When she is having her little titties squeezed, do you think she ever has any fantasies about what handsome Dr. Bill’s dickie might be like?” (Nicole Kidman, Eyes Wide Shut)

“Listen, punk. To me you’re nothin’ but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!” (Clint Eastwood, Sudden Impact)

“I feel like 9/11!” (Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone)

“Stu, don’t do this. Please, come on. My sainted mother used to do this. She used to dish this out… Stu, please don’t this. Stu, you’re bringing back my unhappy childhood. Stu, talk to me, please!

-anything to add?

Let’s be honest . . .

. . . about this week’s new releases.


- Many people will see Hunger only because Michael Fassbender is hot. 

- Alex Proyas probably has a career because Brandon Lee is dead. So, thank you for dying, Brandon Lee, so we can see Knowing.

- The only way Paul Rudd can regain artistic credibility at this point is to have unironic, pleasurable, dirty actual gay sex on screen with an irrefutably attractive male costar.

- Fernando Meirelles has made going to the movies so much worse than it should be. This week’s evidence: Sin nombre!

- The Edge of Love is coming out, effectively hidden, with no fanfare. Factory Girl‘s Sienna Miller is officially a film’s kiss of death.

- The Great Buck Howard needs to coast on the charms of a character actor people only pretend to like (John Malkovich), a cameoing movie star people people are told they have to like (Tom Hanks), and the unlikable son of said movie star who’s the acting equivalent of a booger (Colin). Good luck, Buck.

- The thirteen-story anthology film We Pedal Uphill has twelve stories too many.

- You know that little tiny voice in the back of your head that tells you that maybe, just maybe, anyone who feels the need to see Watchmen (which, judging from the picture below, might have been called Douchebags) more than once, or discuss it with any type of reverence, is basically a humongous baby-man, but then you tell yourself, no, no, you’re being really judgmental and uppity and a snob and there are all sorts of types of artistic expression and some of them are popular and it’s ok to take comic books seriously, but then the little voice again says, no, this is just a culture of infantilized twits who wouldn’t know culture if it hit them on the head, but then you’re, like, geez stop it, this is why nobody likes you? Listen to that little voice.

The Final Nail in the Coffin: Putting ‘08 to Bed

. . . and on to better things.

But first:

The Good, the, Bad, the Ugly, and the End of It All. Say goodbye to 2008 with the annual Reverse Shot “ceremony,” which awards filmmaking in all its permutations and mutilations. Among those fêted this year include Zhang Yimou, Rosario Dawson, Jacques Rivette, the Wachowskis, M. Night Shy, Baleful Christian, Nazis, Spike Lee, Natalie Portman, and Samantha Morton. If you’re sick to death of 2008 already, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
