Guess that movie quote

[pcumby]

I hate the snooty guys who always proclaim how vastly superior the book is to the movie, but in this case they are right.

I agree Price.
When posed with the question "which did you like better the movie or the book" a friend of mine always replies "which do you like better 'The Starry Night' or "Vincent' "

he's often met with a puzzled look but for the ones who understand it brings the point home pretty clearly

To him comparing a book to a movie has no more "merit" than comparing a song to a painting

I'd give him the same puzzled look. The painting or the really bad song by Don McLean?

I think that's exactly the point. The name of that really really really bad song is actually "Vincent".

[dklaiman]

I know that. That's why i'm puzzled. Sometimes there's a question of whether the book or movie is better. I don't think anyone would like the song over the painting.

Now, if I only knew the name of the movie you were quoting, I'd be in bidness.

Superbad

Superbad

Yep.

(Just like "Vincent". )

His point being that the brilliant painting by Vincent Van Gogh inspired the insipid song by Don Mclean

A book inspires a movie script

There's no liking one over the other..they're two completely different things

[dklaiman]

oh. Now I get it.

I must be more tired than I thought.

[pcumby]

I really wanted to quote something from "lust for life" but I can't remember a single line from it so here's a Maclean Tie in...

"My mom reckons I'm going to be a star. And stars don't fall from the sky."

[Price]

I was certain you were going to drop an American Pie quote next.


Don't remember this one.

[DrColossus11]

La Bamba! Great movie!

[pcumby]

La Bamba! Great movie!

Good job DR
Over to you

Price ..It was kind of an "American Pie" quote

[the_edski]

don't die thread!

[TAP119]

To keep the thread going, may I post one?
How about:
"I have got to get me one of THESE!"

From my all-time favorite movie

[pcumby]

Independence Day

[TAP119]

Yep.

Your turn.

[pcumby]

"Somewhere around 25, bizarre becomes immature."


LET'S NOT LET THE THREAD DIE HERE

[the_edski]

sadly I do not know the answer...

[TAP119]

no idea.

[pcumby]

It's from "Singles"

Somebody else have a turn
