Paraphrased line from last night's Blood Ties-

Vicki (to Mike): You're the one who keeps banging his head against an open door.

I have yet to be able to watch this show....too many freaking shows on for Sunday.

Since The Last Starfighter was on television the other day, I've pulled the following quotes off of imdb.com:

Grig: I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.
________________________________________
Grig: Death is a primitive concept; I prefer to think of them as battling evil - in another dimension!
________________________________________
Centauri: [to Grig] But I saw him fight! He could be the greatest Starfighter ever!
Alex Rogan: That was just a game, Centauri!
Centauri: Well, you may have thought it was a game, but it was also a test. Aha, a test! Sent out across the galaxy to find those with the potential to be Starfighters. And here you are, my boy! Here you are!
Alex Rogan: Right, here I am, about to be killed!
Centauri: Killed! You don't really think it's dangerous, do you? Don't be silly! Trust me!
________________________________________

Grig: Remember, Death Blossom delivers only one massive volley at close range... theoretically.
Alex Rogan: What do you mean "theoretically?"
Grig: After all, D.B. has never been tested. It might overload the systems, blow up the ship!
Alex Rogan: What are you worried about, Grig? Theoretically, we should already be dead!
________________________________________
Alex Rogan: One gunstar? Against the whole armada? It'll be a slaughter!
Grig: That's the spirit!
Alex Rogan: No, MY slaughter!
________________________________________
Centauri: [voice in video game] Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada.
________________________________________
Alex Rogan: Teriffic. I'm about to get killed a million miles from nowhere with a gung-ho iguana who tells me to relax.
________________________________________

Alex Rogan: Where are you taking me?
Centauri: Centauri told you, it's a surprise. Hey, are you the kind of kid who reads the last page of a mystery first? Who pesters the magician to tell you his tricks? Who sneaks downstairs to peek at his Christmas presents? Noooo, of course you're not. [singsong voice] That's why I'm not gonna tell you!
Alex Rogan: Oh, God.
Centauri: Besides, I just love surprises, don't you?
________________________________________

Rylan Bursar: Return the money, Centauri.
Centauri: Return the money! Are you delirious? Do you know how long it took to invent the games? To merchandise them? To get them in the stores by Christmas?
________________________________________
Beta: Oh, save the whales but not the universe.
________________________________________
Centauri: Alex! Alex! You're walking away from history! History, Alex! Did Chris Columbus stay home? Nooooo. What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Galoka think that the Ulus were too ugly to save?
Alex Rogan: Who's Galoka?
Centauri: Never mind.
Alex Rogan: Listen, Centauri. I'm not any of those guys, I'm a kid from a trailer park.
Centauri: If that's what you think, then that's all you'll ever be!
________________________________________

Alex Rogan: So... how many Starfighters are left?
Grig: Including you? One.
________________________________________

Alex Rogan: Hey, you look like me!
Beta: Of course I do. I'm a beta unit.
Alex Rogan: What the hell is a beta unit?
Beta: A beta unit is a simuloid. An exact duplicate, only not as loud!
________________________________________

Grig: [Alex is worried about the upcoming battle] Don't worry, Alex, I'll have it all figured out by the time we reach the Frontier.
[alarm sounds and Grig's face falls]
Alex Rogan: What's that?
Grig: The Frontier.

The Last Starfighter was on?! When?! Where? No one told me

I think it was on Sci Fi on either Saturday or Sunday.

Any way, because Quintin Tarantino and Danny Trejo (among others) were here the other day for the local premiere of Grindhouse, I'm borrowing some quotes from the first From Dusk Til Dawn movie (the handful of cleans ones I could find):

Kate: Are you okay?
Seth: Peachy, Kate. The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory.

Seth: Do you have a cross?
Jacob: In the Winnebago.
Seth: In other words, no.
Scott Fuller: What are you talking about? We got crosses all over the place. All you gotta do is put two sticks together and you got a cross.
Sex Machine: He's right. Peter Cushing does that all the time.
Seth: Okay, I'll buy that.

Jacob: Has anybody here read a real book about vampires, or are we just remembering what a movie said? I mean a real book.
Sex Machine: You mean like a Time-Life book?

Seth: [to Hostage Gloria] You. Plant yourself in that chair.
Hostage Gloria: What are you planning on doing with...
Seth: I said plant yourself. Plants don't talk.

Seth: Let me explain the house rules. Follow the rules, we'll get along like a house on fire. Rule number one: No noise, no question. You make a noise...
[holds up gun] Mr. .44 makes a noise. You ask a question, Mr. 44 answers it.

Seth: [puts a gun to Sex-Machine's head] You touch my brother with that stake, biker, and vampires won't have to suck your blood. They'll be able to lick it up off the floor.

Ahhhhh, now there's a movie i haven't thought about in a longgggg time.

Resident Evil was on yesterday. SciFi seemed to have a zombie thing happening. Once again I've borrowed some quotes from imdb.com:

Kaplan: [surrounded by zombies, Kaplan contemplates suicide and finds one bullet left in his gun] That's lucky.

Spence: [points the gun at Matt] Please, I wouldn't wanna shoot you. I might need the bullets. Back off!

Rain: All the people that were working here are dead.
Spence: Well, that isn't stopping them from walking around.

Alice: I'm missing you already.

Cryostar

The I'm missing you already one is always good. SciFi's been weird lately.

Chynna Princess

Awww, I haven't seen The Last Starfighter since I was little.

"Do or do not, there is no try."

"If anyone gets nosy...you know, just...shoot 'em....politely"

"Oh no, not again." - A bowl of petunias hahahahaha

"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

"You guys distract the were-car, and I'll kill it by plugging its exhaust pipe with this silver potato."

Cryostar

Where's the were-car quote from?

"There is no spoon."

Chynna Princess

Futurama. It's kinda sci-fi.

Cryostar

Now why didn't I know that....I love that show.

The NeverEnding Story aired over the weekend (I've only seen bits and pieces of it):

Mr. Koreander: The video arcade is down the street. Here we just sell small rectangular objects. They're called books. They require a little effort on your part, and make no bee-bee-bee-bee-beeps. On your way please.

Engywook: Next is the Magic Mirror Gate. Atreyu has to face his true self.
Falcor: So what? That won't be too hard for him.
Engywook: Oh, that's what everyone thinks! But kind people find out that they are cruel. Brave men discover that they are really cowards! Confronted by their true selves, most men run away screaming!

Falcor: I like children.
Atreyu: [nervously] For breakfast?

Morla, the Ancient One: We don't even care whether or not we care.

Cryostar

The Morla quote is the best. I loved that movie. I wonder if it's on DVD.

In honor of Roscoe Lee Browne who just passed away, quotes from his character, Box, in Logan's Run:

Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started.
Logan 5: What other food?
Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...

Box: Overwhelming, am I not?

Box: Fish, plankton, sea greens... protein from the sea!

Box: Welcome Humans! I am ready for you.

Logan 5: Who are you?
Box: I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two. Don't you agree? Wait for the winds. Then my birds sing. And the deep grottos whisper my name. Box... Box... Box...

Logan 5: This place is a link to Sanctuary, isn't it?
Box: Link? Hmmmm...
Logan 5: How do you think we got here?
Box: Same as the others. Don't you remember?
Logan 5: Why do you think we're here?
Box: [very confused] Why? Why?
