Monday Movie Melee

After Groover's Lyrical version of Fracas Monday Melee we come at last to the Movie Melee.
I know I should have posted this yesterday but Blogger's been a pain in the ass so it's a Monday Melee on a Tuesday.

This melee forced me to spend the greater part of Sunday half-buried in DVDs with a bottle of wine and a pause control. Now I know why those nutjobs who do the Insane Christian Movie Ratings are so fucked up.


1: The Misanthropic.
(Name something - about humanity - you absolutely hate).

"Deterrence is the art of producing, in the mind of the enemy, the fear to attack!"

Peter Sellers as Doctor Strangelove: "Doctor Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."


2: The Meretricious:
(Expose someone or something that's phony, fraudulent or bogus).

"There are worse things in life than death.
I mean, if you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know exactly what I mean."

Woody Allen as Boris Grushenko: "Love And Death".


3: The Malcontent:
(Name something you're unhappy with).

"You're not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fucking khakis.
You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."

Also, from the same movie:

"Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."

Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden: "Fight Club"


4: The Meritorious.
(Give someone credit for something and name it if you can).

"I want to thank you guys.
You could have given us help, but you've given us so much more."

Bill Murray as Grimm: "Quick Change."


5: The Mirror.
(See something good about yourself and name it).

"I shovel well."

The totally splendid William H. Macy as The Shoveller: "Mystery Men."

6: The Make-Believe:
(Name something you wish for).

"Survival kit contents:
Check:
In them you will find:
- One forty-five calibre automatic;
- Two boxes ammunition;
- Four days concentrated emergency rations;
- One drug issue, containing:
• Antibiotics;
• Morphine;
• Vitamin pills;
• Pep pills;
• Sleeping pills;
• Tranquilliser pills;
- One miniature combination Roosian phrase book and Bible;
- One hundred dollars in roubles;
- One hundred dollars in gold;
- Nine packs o' chewing gum;
- One issue of prophylactics;
- Three lipsticks;
- Three pair o' nylon stockings …

Shoot! A feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Slim Pickens as Major Kong: "Doctor Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

or mebbe:

"No, no, no! No food, no food. Bring me sex, I want sex, bring me some sex! No, no, no! That one. Being me that one, over there. That one, the sultry bitch with the fire in her eyes! Take her clothes off, take her clothes off, and bring her to me!"

Elliot Gould as "Trapper" Mc.Intyre: "M.A.S.H."
