Movie Clips

On my way to Europe I started watching Slumdog Millionaire. And damn was it good! And just when those guys take Latika from the train station they cut the movie because of the landing. Can you imagine a worse spot? Then I was busy BUT…on the way back I could continue watching it.

If you haven’t seen this movie, go see it. Now. It’s fantastic. Plus the music is written by the same guy that wrote the music we used for the belly dancing at the Absolutely No Decorum concert in Växjö. I give you two clips here. I just loved the Bollywood style ending, totally out of context and still not at all.

And above is my view for the day – in front of our ginormous TV watching the only thing I watch on TV.

I try to have as a rule to do absolutely nothing work-related the first day at home after being away for longer time. So, yesterday I made this little pointless collection of funny movie quotes. I don’t know myself yet which one I prefer, but I would like you to vote on your choice.

Emma, thanks for those words…I have actually been followed by a camera some years ago, which resulted in the film Solisten. I know the same guys are making a film on Ola now.

Congratulations Majsan, it looks good for SSK, no? Växjö didn’t make it, but we are very proud of the team anyway for sure.

Christina, I was in extremely busy days when you sent me the Liszt videos, would you give them to us here again? I’d love to have some opinions on them.
Ok, on to the movie clips!

Paul: “If I talk to you and you turn me into a fag, I’m gonna kill ya, understand?” Ben: “Could we define fag? Because some feelings may come up ” Paul:” I go fag, you die.”

Bluto: “Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no.”
Otter: “Germans?”
Boon: “Forget it. He’s rolling.”
Bluto: “And it ain’t over now.”

Bobby: “Ya know, Quasimodo predicted all this.” Tony: “Who did what?” Bobby: “All these problems, the Middle East, the end of the world.” Tony: “Nostradamus… Quasimodo’s the hunchback of Notre Dame.” Bobby: “Oh, right. Notre Damus.” Tony: “Nostradamus… and Notre Dame. It’s two different things completely.”

Lloyd: “Why you going to the airport… Flying somewhere?”
Mary Swanson: “How’d you guess?”
Lloyd: “Ah, I saw the luggage. Then when I noticed the airline ticket I put two and two together.”

Jimmy: “They’re laughing at us.”
Chazz: “Hey, they laughed at Louis Armstrong when he said he was gonna go to the moon. Now he’s up there laughing at them.”

Reg:”They’ve bled us white, the bastards. They’ve taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers’ fathers.”
Loretta:”And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers.”
Reg:”Yeah.”
Loretta:”And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers.”
Reg:”All right Stan, don’t labor the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!”
Brian:”The aqueduct?”
Reg:”What?”
Brian:”The aqueduct?”
Reg:”Oh, yeah yeah they did give us that. That’s true.”
Terrorist:”And sanitation.”
Loretta:”Oh yeah, the sanitation Reg. Remember what the city used to be like.”
Reg:”Alright, I’ll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation. The two things the Roman’s have done.”
Terrorist:”And the roads!”
Reg:”Well obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don’t they. But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct and the roads…”
Terrorist:”Irrigation?”
Terrorist:”Medicine?”
Terrorist:”Education?”
Reg:”All right, fair enough.”
Terrorist:”And the wine?”
Francis:”Yeah, that’s something we’d really miss Reg, if the Romans left.”
Terrorist:”Public baths?”
Loretta:”And it’s safe to walk on the streets at night now, Reg.”
Francis:”Yeah they certainly like to keep order. Let’s face it. They’re the only ones who could in a place like this.”
Reg:”All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Brian:”Brought peace?”
Reg:”Oh peace? Shut up!”

  1. Per, since we (those of us who write here) are fans of Per T I think we all have a copy of Solisten. We do our homework! :)

  2. I have the english text of JCS in my head today since we sang some of those songs in our Passion play this past Sunday…
    I was Pontius Pilate so as a Roman I have to vote for “Life of Brian” but I also did like
    Blades of Glory

  3. Always look at the bright side of life:)

  4. Thanks Christina. Somebody voted for The Sopranos, I see, that’s nice.

  5. I vote for “Life of Brian” of course – one of my favourite movies! (It did not become less funny after JCS, rather the opposite. :lol: )

    I think I’ve better send you the Liszt clips over Facebook again, I don’t think I can do it here anyway. Yes, I also want some opinions on them, I thought the different interpretations were very interesting.
