    You know the times when you see a movie clip and it makes you seeth with jealousy?

    What's yours?



    Mine is that bit at the beginning of the first Pirates of the Caribbean where Sparrow is riding that sinking ship into Port Royal.


    Everything I love represented in that scene: adventure, travel, never staying in one place too long, diversity and negative liberty.



    Brings a tear to my eye does that scene.


    :(

    When Julia Roberts beds Richard Gere in Pretty Woman after the night out at the opera wearing THAT red ress (I'd be Julia obviously!)

    I'm envious of her body too!! LOL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Any given scene from any given porn movie.

    Seriously, the bit in Arthur 2 when he walks into has mansion and yells enthusiastically, "honey, I'm home!!! We're poor!"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Actually, I frequently find that scenes from my own life and my friends/colleagues are like damn movie moments with their sheer ridiculousness and hilarity.

    Also, what the hell, people on this thread with close to 1000 posts since joining in 2008.
    Maybe I need to post more...

    I think that was the only ghostbusters toy I didn't own. I'd love to know what happened to them.. such a shame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭St Bill


    One of my 'damn movie moments' is a classic.....girl drops papers and while girlishly gathering them, John Cusack/Jake Gyllenhaal/insert your own (name) comes along to give her a hand.
    In real life, when you drop papers, people give loud, exasperated tuts and walk around you.
    And in real life, I don't girlishly gather papers...I'm usually cursing like a docker.

    Lost in Translation - the relationship that Bill Murray and Scarlett J have.

    Yep pretty much any cool martial arts stuff. I remember watching the Bruce Lee films when I was a kid, then everybody going out kicking the tar out of each other.

    Esp. where one lad just mills throw 100's of lads like this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=K06wDn3XsZE

    Batman Begins had some nice gadgets too.

    Jackie Chan, not the fight scenes but the way he just bounces off wall to hop over a gate, or the free running at the start of Casino Royal

    Remember the poster for the movie,
    And most seem to forget/overlook a very important point in that oh so romantic film, Julia Roberts was a dirty whore!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭St Bill


    :D

    A dirty whore with a heart of gold.
    Richard Gere was the gigolo with deep pockets.
    What a movie!

    Her heart was gold, but her arse was baboon red. Gere paid the extra fiver.

    Lol, that's not what I heard!

    I'd love to drive a cop car through a mall like in the blues brothers, with a cool soundtrack playing in the background!

    Great Movie that.

    My girlfriend tried to get me to watch the notebook, ended up compromising and watching the 'tearful' ending. She wasnt amused by the jokes of the old-people sex scene in the deleted extras. Hopefully shes given up on getting me to watch it now.

    What is the world coming to. Am I the only one that wants to be a Jedi when I grow up?

    Lightsabres, mind control, moving objects with your thoughts and saving the universe at the same time.

    What can there be that is cooler than that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Transformers, Optimus Prime driving down the alley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I wish I had a Terminator to look out for me, I could start fights on anyone then!

    I could dodge bullets like Neo, great for a party trick!

    Go to war with Rambo. Ah, the fun we'd have!

    Had Gizmo from Gremlins as my pet.

    Had retractable claws like Wolverine, handy for cutting the hedges.

    I wish I had a Terminator!! :mad: Bah!!

    Wouldn't fancy having Opitmus Prime, though. Would be quite painful if you're sitting in the truck and he suddenly decides to transform..........*squish!*

    Nope, i'm just biding my time till you least expect it. You will watch it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,708 ✭✭✭allybhoy


    Eh Tony Montana in Scarface, except the end bit.
    Or Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    I wish I had Superman's super powers.

    I also wish I was a Jedi.

    Super Jedi, that'd be great. :(

    Definately! Can't believe nobody had said that till Fred. I mean NOBODY f**ks with a Jedi, unless you're Sith of course, or Natalie Portman, but you get what I mean!:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    When Brad Pitt gets to ride Claire Forlani in Meet Joe Black. Don't care if that's a gay movie to like, she's f*cking smoking.


    Ooh, when Hunter S Thompson procures his pharmaceuticals in Fear & Loathing, man the rush of knowing what lies ahead of you...

    +1 to Jedi.
