A thread elsewhere had a couple of Schmoes posting some funny quotes, so I thought it'd be a fun topic of its own.
So, here's some of my faves from my man Ebert:
Little Indian, Big City
"It is not in French with English subtitles, however. It has been dubbed into English - a canny move, since the movie is not likely to appeal to anyone who can read."
Charlie's Angels
"Eye candy for the blind."
Christopher Columbus: The Discovery
"Brando has phoned in roles before, but this was the first time I wanted to hang up."
Clifford
"There is something extraterrestrial about it, as if it's based on the sense of humor of an alien race with a completely different relationship to the physical universe."
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
"Cheap, but not inexpensive."
Dice Rules
"It could not be more damaging to the career of Andrew Dice Clay if it had been made as a documentary by someone who hated him."
Last Rites
"Was there no one connected with this project who read the screenplay, considered the story, evaluated the proposed film, and vomited?"
Pearl Harbor
"Although you may walk out quoting lines of dialogue, it will not be because you admire them."
Emmanuelle - the Joys of a Woman
"The characters wander from one encounter to another like wife-swappers at a post-lobotomy ball."
Jungle 2 Jungle
"The plot has been removed from a French film called Little Indian, Big City. The operation is a failure and the patient dies."
A Place for Lovers
"The screenplay was written by no less than five writers, who were possibly locked into separate rooms and forbidden to communicate."
Psycho (1998)
The most dramatic difference between Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and Gus Van Sant's "shot-by-shot" remake is the addition of a masturbation scene. That's appropriate, because this new Psycho evokes memories in an attempt to re-create remembered passion."
Guyana - Cult of the Damned
"[It] has crawled out from under a rock and into local theaters, and will do nicely as this week's example of the depths to which people will plunge in search of a dollar."
