    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: A Bigger Boat Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonMarch 28, 201611 Comments1 Min Read

    There are a great many movies and TV episodes that I can quote over and over (as anyone who’s ever heard one of our many lovely podcasts can probably attest), but there are a select few that have multiple moments of dialogue brilliance.  ‘Jaws’ is a noteworthy one, from Quint’s Indianapolis monologue to “You go in the cage?” to the immortal “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”  Heck, it even originated ‘That’s some bad hat, Harry,” leading to today’s eminently quotable query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) favors the films of Kevin Smith, since they include many of the best ‘Jaws’ quotes built-in along with their own dialogue, asking: What film has the greatest number of quotable quotes, i.e. “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      For me, easily Star Wars. Many of the famous ones, like Yoda’s lines are from sequels, but still.

      The Star Wars film franchise as a whole. I quite literally haven’t gone a day in the past decade or so without saying at least one Star Wars quote a day in various conversations, even if I didn’t intend for it to come out as a direct Star Wars quote, such as “Never tell me the odds”, “I have a bad feeling about this”, “I find your lack of faith disturbing” and the over-exaggerated “NOOOOOOOOOOO”. I also use variations of several quotes frequently, but I’m not counting those in my usage.

      For single movies, I’d have to go with “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie” (I’m not counting the series itself because, well, then I’d have an ever harder time choosing). I’ve lost count how many times I’ve responded to something with “I’m feeling a sensation altogether new to me, and frankly, I love it!” or sang “Normal View” over and over.

      Far as my family is concerned, there could be no single answer, though we do seem to prefer spoofy comedy type movies to pull from.
      Mel Brooks stuff (‘specially Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs), Princess Bride, The Addam’s Family movies, and Master of Disguise (don’t judge us! It’s dumb, but seems to hit the right tone of dumb…) would be tough to beat as a quotable collection for us.

        I just watched “Master of Disguise” today (first time I’ve seen it since about a year after it came out) and realized how many quotes from it my adult nephew uses.

      Between the Big Lebowski & Animal House, I have a quote for just about every occasion.

      I realize “Like that’s just your opinion man.” “You’re on double-secret probation.”

      There are great movies with great performances that lend themselves to be quoted. And then there’s Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. Terrible movie with a hall-of-fame terrible performance that has a terrible script.

      “I did not hit her. I did not. Oh hi Mark.”

      “So anyway how’s your sex life?”

      “It is not over. Everybody betrayed me. I’m fed up with this world.”

      Princess Bride, no contest. No one can watch this movie and not come out without a handful of awesome quotes. “As you wish”
      “I am not left handed”
      “My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.”

      Inconceivable… that it is not Princess Bride.

      Big Trouble in Little China is definitely up there, at least in my group of friends.

      Airplane! “Surely, you can’t be serious!” “I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley!”
