WHO YOU GONNA CALL???
GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

not sure who played gozer

love the internet...a czech model named Slavitza Jovan...found a funny story about her and Bill Murry

In rehearsal, Bill Murray (Venkman) teased Czech model Slavitza Jovan (Gozer) about her pronunciation of the line "Choose and Perish", which sounded to him like "Jews and Berries"(!) and he'd say "There are no Jews and Berries here!"

And it was uttered by Louis Tully (aka Rick Moranis)as the Keymaster. Classic movie!

Okay, another easy one for the blog.

"I've always been kind of a pacifist. When I was a kid, my father told me, "Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it." I don't know what kind of soldier I'm gonna make, but I want you guys to know that if we ever get into really heavy combat... I'll be right behind you guys. Every step of the way. "

Movie, character, and actor playing the role.

Bill: I knew "Stripes" was the movie. Had to look up the character "Ziskey". Harold Ramis was the actor. We are dating ourselves here...aren't we!?!?

Maybe just a little bit, but have their been any movies out recently that have stuck in your mind as much as the classic comedy movies of our generation. Animal House "They took the bar, the whole *^$&@(% bar" "Can I buy some pot from you?"
Caddy Shack "Hey everybody, lets go get ____!" (Trying to keep it clean as I know this is a family blog)

While yes, there have been good teen comedy movies out recently, they just don't seem to stick into the old noggin the way these used to. American Pie, Euro Trip, etc. are pretty funny in their own but just not as memorable with the really witty humor or one liners that when you hear them again you know exactly which movie they came from.

Well, I think part of that is at our "age" we have no short term memory functions any longer. I call it dad-nesia. My wife suffers from mom-nesia.

Stripes has a ton of great lines. To wit:

John Winger: We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans. With a capital "A", huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts.

John Winger: [to the soldiers in his platoon] We're soldiers; but we're American soldiers. We've been kickin' ass for 200 years. We're 10 and 1.

Sergeant Hulka: Okay, Mr. Push-ups, let's hear your story.
John Winger: Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual. But now I know why I have always lost women to guys like you. I mean, it's not just the uniform. It's the stories that you tell. So much fun and imagination.
[points to the soldier next to him]
John Winger: Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it. I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka is always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka.
[the soldiers start clapping]
Sergeant Hulka: Well, okay, hotshot. We're gonna see what kind of soldier you are.

General Barnicke: Where is your drill sergeant, men?
John Winger: Blown up, sir!
Soldiers: Blown up, sir!

John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like we're going into *Wisconsin*.
Russell Ziskey: Well I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

And my fav....

Psycho: The name's Francis Sawyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

Lighten Up Francis

I think I use that line once week....all of those movies have become part of my everyday vocabulary....most of the kids that I work with don't know where they are from...lol...its funny trying to explain it to them....caddy-what?
