I don't know how many remember the movie "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, well there was a scene in it I always get a kick out of. It is the scene where the new phone book arrives and Steve Martin starts running around yellin 'the new phone book's here, the new phone book's here' and as he opens it, he says now this is the spontanous type of advertising that can REALLLLY make some one!!!!!.......................... Well my new H.A.M.B. alliance plaque arrived TODAY!!!!....... you get the picture
you need to get laid!!!!! when mine arrived all i did was grab a towel and some lotio.......umm....nevermind
I just bought that movie about 45 minutes ago! I haven't seen it in years, i know what I'm doin' tonight. "this thermos, this remote control and this book of matches, I don't need one other thing... I need this," love that movie!
"I found out what my Special Purpose was for" "I should be able to send some more money home soon, she promised me a blow job" There's some classics in that movie...
One of the five movies that shaped my childhood: The Jerk, Blues Brothers, Mad Max (and Road Warrior), Animal House and American Graffitti. I always snuck listens to my parents' Steve Martin albums. I saw the first Saturday Night Live and have seen all of them since...SNL, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, John Belushi and Dan Akroyd shaped the sense of humor in my then innocent little brain. Neat note: Growing up in SoCal and having jobs closely associated with movie, TV and rock stars I have never really been star-struck. Steve Martin has always been one of my heores and I think I'd totally geek out if I met him. In the last year I have found out that one of my good friends is his nephew! I didn't believe him at first. I have been to his house near Ventura...amazing. He's one of the few people I can say that about. A few others who are still alive would be: Dennis Hopper, Crispin Glover (met him a few times), Tom Waits, Christopher Walken and Ace Frehley.
My fav parts were the Job Patty promised him so he could send money home... and the "defetive" oil cans and the buffer running him off the car and on out the shop door and the handles on glasses that ended up getting him rich the gettin him sued! Hell its so good its hard to pinpoit one thing.... I will say it requires watching at least 3 times to "get" all the humor-he is very crafty that way.....
Shit...Shinola....Shit...Shinola.....a true classic....just like my new HAMB goodie that also arrived today...bitchin!!!
BEST movie of ALL time! "You mean I'm gonna stay this color?" "Don't name that dog live saver....name him shithead!" "Wow....I could do so much with this place....I could tear this wall down and move it over here, put a book shelf here....wait no...over here...and it would make it flow so much better...and I could sit over here so I wouldn't get in the customer's way." "No, this ain't where you're atayin', its in here" "Oh, I could never afford this place anyway." "My name is on your ass?...Wow I bet more people see that than the phonebook!"
what about the part when he calls the cops to report the stolen credit car & he says something like" its a blue 64 chevy!It'll be easy to spot its pulling a small house"!! JimV
".....and I need this slipper. And its aaallll IIIIII nneeeeed..... But I need this remote control. And its aaalllll IIIII nneeeeed...... But I need this....." -Bigchief.
Crispin Glover (met him a few times), hello, mcfly!!!wow awesome..is he as weird as he is on tv??? after hollywood nights, back to the future is my fav movie ever!!!! then steel magnious
This reminds me of the Disney cartoon with Cinderella sitting on Pinnochios face screaming "Lie to me, Lie to me"
Bernadette Peters was a hot piece when you were a horny 12 year old. "Lord loves a workin' man; don't trust whitey; see a doctor and get rid of it." Those are still words to live by these days. ~B
Bless the internet....a place of higher learning....for movie mavens. http://www.pottymouth.org/humor/shinola.html Mutt
"Nathan Johnson typical Bastard" and after that the oil cans were producing bullet holes and Nathan yells out "these cans are defective" fucking hilarious.
For some reason, just last night I said to my wife: "I want new wine, no more old wine. I want wine from this year!"
