comments

"He is not Judge Judy and excecutioner!"
-Nick Frost

Yeah, that's a good *Hot Fuzz* quote, too. :->

What? You didn't include "Yarp"? For shame...

I like to have the quotes I choose make sense outside the context of the film. "Yarp" doesn't. But if I were going to pick a quote regardless of context, I'd have gone with "Narp...?" That's much funnier than "Yarp."

"Excuse me, I have to defuse this bomb."
--Emma Roberts.

Which reminds me...There's a Michael Bay movie coming out soon, isn't there?

I belive the quote you attribute to a French doctor was actually from the British MP describing the genesis of the NHS.

Could be...

Just FYI, the boombox in Transformers is named "Frenzy".

If I'm not mistaken, Bart is writing:

“I will not illegally download this movie”

in the Simpsons movie

Could be. But I did dash that down during the movie and I think I got it right.

If I can confirm that "illegally," I'll change the quote, of course.

"Fuck me sideways" will always be a quote from Melusine by Sarah Monette for me. The extended version being: Fuck me sideways till I cry. I dunno, just something about the way it flows.

Maybe, but it's funny and notable when Paul Giamatti says it because of, you know, *Sideways.*
