Utopia Talk / Movie Talk / Movie Quote of The Day

Hot Rod Member	Fri Jan 07 05:08:56 A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. ~ Stanley Kubrick
milton bradley Member	Fri Jan 07 17:46:07 Once again quoting people whose views, if uttered by anyone else on UP, you spew your lame 1920's buster keaton flames interspersed with swear words over? Are you trying to get into the guiness record book for laughable ignorance and hypocrisy?

Cock Vomit Member	Mon Jan 10 15:56:03 Freddie Lee Cobb: You can't blame a nigger for being a nigger, no more than you can blame a dog for being a dog.

First, it'll just be bugs eating at ya. One day, maybe two. That sun's gonna be cooking you. And animals... they're gonna pick on your stink. They'll come looking for something to eat.

Cthulhu Tentacle Rapist	Tue Jan 11 18:32:22 'Conan! What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women' I prefer the original version of the quote. â??The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.â?? -Genghis Khan
