Hey, brando -- smart and accurate. (That wasn't on Google was it?
)
What is Google?
Person A: "Did you know Murphy checks his sanity with a wristwatch?"
Person B: "What do you check yours with, a dipstick?"
"Blue Thunder"
What is Google? Surely you are being facetious. Or are you living on a moon of Saturn?
Incidentally, that is a painting by Chesley Bonestell who was a good friend in Hollywood college days.
Blue Thunder is correct. That line struck me as hilarious when I first heard it many years ago.
I have admired Chesley Bonestell since childhood, and am very impressed that you knew him.
Life is good here on Saturn.
I did a show for him at the World Science Fiction Convention in L.A. I owned one of his early paintings of a space ship that looked remarkably like the shuttle flying over San Francisco at night. I learned the glaze oil painting technique a great deal from examing his paintings. I also did a lot
astronautical art and did a slide show package that was in vending machines and stores of a trip to the moon before in 1960.
You have certainly done a lot of cool stuff. My first sci-fi convention of any sort was the first "Trek" convention in NYC in.....about 1973.
I met and still know a lot of people in the sci-fi realm.
Here's a new one:
'Course you know about it. . . its . . . It's a
painful memory. And I can't help remembering
that you put the finger on me, and you took me
out there to whack me. . . I know you didn't. .
. I know you didn't shoot me. . . but. . . but--
Oh, Equus, I sh yould have known you'd pick up on that one. (I checked to see if it would pop up in Google so I know you interpreted the key plot scene).
All members of the Soprano family should watch "Miller's Crossing" as a warning to always go through with whackings.
This may not be word-for-word, but is generally correct:
"So there I was, laying in a ditch, looking at my leg lying in the middle of the road next to a beer can, and I'm thinkin, 'I wonder if there's any beer still in it?', and then I think, 'I bet they can sew that leg back on me,' but then the ambulance comes and runs right over it."
Equus wrote:"So there I was, laying in a ditch, looking at my leg lying in the middle of the road next to a beer can, and I'm thinkin, 'I wonder if there's any beer still in it?', and then I think, 'I bet they can sew that leg back on me,' but then the ambulance comes and runs right over it."
That's a great quote. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea where it came from. It sounds like a David Lynch type thing, or maybe something Hunter S. Thompson might say
No.
hint: This was a 1980's drama. The main characters are about half a dozen troubled teens and adolescents, an adult crazy (speaking), and his inflatable girlfriend.
Not Rumble Fish, but you are very very warm...
"The Outsiders"
"On the Edge"
Oops. I thought this was adapted from an S.E. Hinton novel, but apparently I am mistaken. It was DIRECTED by a guy who had also directed a S.E. Hinton adaptation, and SEEMED like a Hintonesque story and that's were I got confused.
Sorry for the unintentional deception.
It isn't Hinton. It's based on a true story, apparently.
new clue: Keanu Reeves' biggest role before Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Well, in that case it's "River's Edge"
Yup. River's Edge. Line spoken by Dennis Hopper, typecast as one-legged loser Feck, who allegedly shot his girlfriend and now carries around an inflatable substitute. he keeps having to remind himself that she isn't real.
Sorry for the misdirection.
And I haven't seen that film since it's premiere!
Didn't even remember the Dennish Hopper character. Probably time to rent the movie!
