> [@Darkhold](#): > > Someone mentioned **Titan AE** that movie always makes me sad…not for the destruction of earth or anything else that happens in it only that they so obviously tried to make it cool and failed so totally. I loved nearly every line from Gune in that movie “Do you know what this is? Neither do I. I made it in my sleep. I made it out of ‘somethingsomething’ VERY unstable. I put a button on it. I want to press it, yes. But I don’t know what will happen if I DO!” the few people I’ve seen that movie with always love that line as much as me. Heh, I’m a closet **Titan A.E.** fan. It’s a fun movie. Not ihgh art, ro anything, but not bad. But there are soem great liens in it, though, especialyl by Gune (Goon?) I’m partial to: “I finished my nap!” ---

Night Shift has a lot of funny lines, which pretty much save it from the stupid movie that is basically is. However, my favorite is Michael delivering one of his “ideas” into a tape recorder, so he doesn’t forget them later: “Feed mayonaise to tuna. Cut out the middle man.” ---

> [@LonesomePolecat](#): > > There was a really lousy horror movie called Gator, which involves a giant, mutant gator roaming around a small Florida town eating anybody. The thing hid out in the sewers. Police scoping the situation had this to say: > > First cop: How many people have been killed? > > Second cop: We’re not sure. We think the first victim was a sewer worker named Ed Norton. > > The rest of the film was a complete waste of time, but it was worth for this one line. The message “Harry Lime Lives” was also painted on a sewer wall. I like that movie. Watching with beer helps, but Robert Forster is a lot of fun in it. Only the beginning is set in Florida, and it’s actually called _Alligator_. _Gator_ is an unrelated Burt Reynolds movie. ---
