Oscar and Snake D. Plissken

It is again that time of the year when Hollywood dresses up as your typical glamorous starlet and kisses its ass. Yep, it’s Oscar time. To celebrate in my own way this cinematic “joyful happening” coming soon to a Kodak Theater not near you, I’ve compiled some of my favorite quotes from movies for you to enjoy. Perhaps you have some of your own to share??!!

From Escape From New York:

SNAKE PLISSKEN
"…I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president. Get a new president…"



HAUK
"…I'm ready to kick your ass out of the world, War Hero…"

From The Thing:

MACREADY
"…Anyone messes with me, the whole camp goes!…"

PALMER
"…I was wondering when "El Capitan" was going to get a chance to use his pop gun…"

CLARK
"…I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is…"

From The Terminator:

REESE
"…Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.…"

A “classic” (!) from The Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood:

CALLAHAN (aka Dirty Harry)
"…Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one…"

From Aliens:

HUDSON
"…Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!…"

HUDSON
"…What do you mean, they cut the power? How could they cut the fucking power, man? They're fucking animals!…"

From Total Recall, Arnuld "arrggggghhhhh" Schwarzenegger to a mutant:

DOUGLAS QUAID
"…Relax…You’ll live longer…"
(in fact this could be a great t-shirt!)

From Bad Santa, Billy Bob Thornton talking:

WILLIE
"…Are you off’ your fucking meds?…"
(another great t-shirt idea!)

Finally from a DOP - not a dope, a director photo – that I used to work with, Bert Tougas:

BERT TOUGAS (answering the director)
"…Well, it was badly framed, out of focus and the dolly jumped. Other than that, I think it’s a keeper…"
