At Least the Commies Didn't Catch Us This Time
Can anyone tell me why the Air Force is still using a fifty year old jet to run recon? And haven't we had some problems with this model before?
And last night the AFI released it's list of Top 100 Movie Quotes. I'm such a sucker for shit like that. I called "Here's lookin' at you, kid" for number one. I was only four spots off.
Top 10:
1. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," "Gone With the Wind," 1939.
2. "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," "The Godfather," 1972.
3. "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am," "On the Waterfront," 1954.
4. "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," "The Wizard of Oz," 1939.
5. "Here's looking at you, kid," "Casablanca," 1942.
6. "Go ahead, make my day," "Sudden Impact," 1983.
7. "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up," "Sunset Blvd.," 1950.
8. "May the Force be with you," "Star Wars," 1977.
9. "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night," "All About Eve," 1950.
10. "You talking to me?" "Taxi Driver," 1976.
Notable omissions, in my humble opinion:
"You gonna bark all day, little doggie, or are you gonna bite?" - Resevoir Dogs
"This means something" - Close Encounters
"I was born a poor black child" - The Jerk
"When you got it, flaunt it, baby, flaunt it!" - The Producers
"Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs..." - Rushmore
Eh, what can you say? It's the AFI.
In other news, Billy Corgan ran a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune saying, "For a year now I have walked around with a secret, a secret I chose to keep." The secret he refers to is, of course, that Zwan sucked and he wants to reunite the SHITTIEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Apologies in advance to Chris Kornman for that last sentence.
