But Peter immediately gets his come-uppance-- about ten thousand times worse than the crooked promoters – after saying it, which to me diminishes the value of Peter’s remark. The point of the sequence is that Peter’s refusal to stop the thief, however justifable it may have seemed, was WRONG.
Again, we don’t know it’s going to happen. It sounds cool.
I was planning the witty reply, “Guess I don’t read enough funny books”, but I used my futuroscope and saw that you came over to my place and beat the snot out of me, so I didn’t. 
That wasn’t me; it was one of my Life Model Decoys. And it’s not programmed to beat the snot out of you so much as it’s programmed to give you a devastating series of atomic wedgies.
No snide remarks from me, and I’ll keep the 'ol futuroscope running right there by the TV. 
::sighing:: carnivorousplant, if you’d bothered to read the futuroscope manual, you’d know that it cannot be used to change the events viewed. the best you can POSSIBLY do is to track me down, knock me out, drag me to your house, disguise me sufficiently so that viewed through the futuroscrope I appear to be you, and allow me to be the recipient of the wedgie.

I love the scene in THe Color Purple when Celie finally leaves her husband. No death or dismemberment, but she scares the living crap out of him, making a hex sign at him and declaring “Everything you do to me will come back to you.” She left him standing there, unharmed but terrified. Priceless.
“FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MONTRESOR!”
I’m not sure what Fortunato did, but he certainly got his.
So, you’re sayin’ I did this already?
Will do that already.
Sometime. Whatever.
…gotta be able to do somethin’ with the race track…don’t have to change shit…
I imagine that given “the thousand injuries of Fortunato” an internet message board was involved.
Sleepers, where all of the perv guards get theirs…a few scenes in the entire movie make it extra pleasurable to watch.
Sure! Put Antonio on a treadmill, and let him run off a pounds’ worth of calories (about 3,500 food calories - cite). Hook the treadmill to a drive shaft, and you might get some useful work out of it. Unless Portia says you can’t take sweat from Antonio either. Lawyers - picky, picky, picky!
As a matter of fact, I am Jewish. Why do you ask? ;j
Re: the orignal Mechanic. Best movie ending of all time. The re-make pussied out.
Great mini-series!!! Kudos for remembering it.
Band of Brothers, from the ep. “Why We Fight.” Early in the episode, one of the Americans breaks into a fancy German home, looking for booze (iirc). He finds a picture of the house’s master in the uniform of a high ranking SS officer, and smashes it. Bur his wife is still at home, and she catches the guy in his minor act of vandalism. She doesn’t say anything, just gives him this withering, contemptuous look.
Later, Easy Company finds one of the Nazis labor camps. Orders come down from on high that the local citizens are to be pressed into service burying the dead. The same soldier sees the German woman again, still in her finery, struggling to haul emaciated corpses into a mass grave. The look she gives him this time is… much humbled, to say the least.
135 posts in a 6 year old thread, and I’m the first to mention Snatch?
Or the final scene of The Replacement Killers?
How about Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg’s comeuppance in The Fifth Element?
I loved how Don got his in Sexy Beast.
I still laugh whenever I think of Roritor’s just [del]desserts[/del]coffee in Brain Candy.
And of course, two of my favorite such scenes are the endings to both Escape From New York and Escape From L.A..
…ha! What a bump!
And since we have time traveled six years into the future, through the magic of youtube here is the scene!
I hesitate to mention this among all the macho moments cited, but I’ve always liked the scene in “Shine” where everybody in the diner is laughing when the goofy homeless guy sits down at the piano, and then he proceeds to play “Flight of the Bumblebee” like the concert pianist he used to be.
Another vote for “Slingblade”. Dwight Yoakam’s Doyle needed that killin’.
