Pop Culture for Fun

“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.” Star Wars:A New Hope

Guess “more powerful than you could possibly imagine” means ghost in the Jedi dialect. Sure, Obi Wan whispers to Luke from beyond the grave, shows up here and there as a vision, but all that power and it’s still up to Luke to kick the Emperor’s ass.

“In the words of my generation: UP YOURS!!!!” Independence Day

Randy Quaid right before sticking his plane in the mothership’s ass. Literally. Well I guess you could argue alien space ship anatomy but then again, I like to think of it that way.

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” Blade Runner

Of all the quirky characters in Blade Runner, I liked Roy Batty the most. Sure, he’s the villain, but when it comes down to it, he’s also the most human of the bunch. Plus, he’s the most badass person in that movie. Next to him Harrison Ford is a pussy.

“Is that the best you can do you pansies?” Sin City

Marv, the toughest, meanest wall of stone of all movie characters. Clive Owen’s speech doesn’t do him justice comparing him to gladiators. I mean, who can sit on the electric chair, take a hit, and ask that? The guy who hacked up Elijah Wood into pieces and fed him to a dog, that’s who.

“Mind the uniform Cleric. I plan to be wearing it for a long time.” Equilibrium

A long time being about 10 seconds. Definitely not something you want to say to a guy wielding a sword, unless you want yourself to end up with half a face (if you’re Taye Diggs against Christian Bale anyway). Well, at least the uniform didn’t get ruined.
