i'm shocked, shocked, shocked
Al Pachino-Dog Day Afternoon---"I'm dying in here"
i loved that phrase - he said (kiss me, etc) - he said it to the police negotiator...
Bobsmyth - you knew nothing of the sort!
um....I haven't seen the movie. Does this account for how it is I am standing here wide-eyed in non-understanding? I'm sure that now and again I've probably kissed girls while making love. Law of averages alone would suggest I had.
I'm dying in here was a pretty good phrase, too.
LOL!
It was a way of saying that your spitoon statement was full of it - ie you were f*cking with me!
So - my response to you was "kiss me!"
Oh !! For a moment there I was shocked into speechlessness - and that does not happen very often !
Good grief! You folk are slow on the uptake tonight!
blatham, Dog Day Afternoon is a classic....you have to see it....
The wonder of the "kiss me" phrase, and its conclusion, was that it was said loudly, to a male police detective, on the open street, in the full gaze and hearing of an enormous, New York crowd, who had gathered and made an afternoon's entertainment out of a bank robbery gone wrong.
Sonny was the lead robber - and, when the robbery was interrupted, the terrified robbers made the staff and customers hostages in the bank.
The negotiations were a miracle of fascinating plays of power, seduction, betrayal and loyalty.
I want to thank everyone for their explication of this work of filmic art. To Deb The Obscure specifically, I'd like to say...'make my morning'.
attica! attica!
(shocked, shocked i am at you, blatham! you will watch this movie, yes, you will watch the dog day afternoon, and you will say to yourself, verily, you will say -- if you have not already viewed the godfather thing and the serpico thing -- yes i say you will say to yourself, "oh! that al pacino could act, once upon a time! and that little guy with the big head, who died so young, yes, every movie he touched was golden, yes, made of gold, like certain eurasian desert calves but not like achilles' ankle on another shore.)
Don't f*ck with the bunny, guys........... you may turn into Al Pacino
Anyway, if you do you'll have a lot of little bunnies to pay support on
Um, I suppressed this question earlier, keeping in mind what my grandpa had hung on his wall: "It is better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a fool than to speak up and prove it."
Nonetheless: what did Lola mean by that?
m this reminds me very little of ratso rizzo (Dustin Hofman) in Midnight Cowboy when he said "Hey! I'm walking here"
Another briliant film that plays often in my mind.
That theme song!
