> [@Lucas\_Jackson](#): > > When we are watching a movie and a character launches off into a soliloquy before attempting to kill his opponent, I always yell this at the screen. The old James Bond movies were the worst offenders. When a bad guy had James tied up - or whatever - and was going shoot him, he would always break off into a 10 minute diatribe. STFU, and just pull the trigger already. I think [The Incredibles](https://youtu.be/iRlh_w6uRds?feature=shared) has the best meta-reference to that particular trope. Sam Jackson’s character actually mentions villain monologuing in an earlier scene than this, in an anecdote he tells Mr Incredible, but this shows the main villain actually referencing it too. ---

One of the things I dislike about _Skyfall_ is the monologuing in reverse. When Silva is excaping through the Underground, Bond has his gun aimed right at him and doesn’t fire a shot. Instead, they start talking and Silva gets away. Just shoot him! ---

I’ve still got this one hanging out there: “Yeah, well fuck you, Gus! You know what I feel like doing? I feel like breaking your broken leg! That’s what I feel like doing!” Another line, same movie: “Hey, you know you assholes almost broke my pussy finger.” ---
