Adrock 0 #1 February 1, 2005 A topic of discussion recently has been the quoting of movies and why men seem to quote from movies much more than women. Where is the link between gender and movie quoting? Someone suggested that the competition that men have with each other is a factor, another said that it's cause guys want to be "cool". I just don't know. I mean, I quote movies, often, but I haven't met too many other women who do. Is this just a by-product of the fact that most of my friends are male? Discuss. p.s. and a post about movie quoting wouldn't be complete without a quote: Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when motherf**kers get scared, that's when motherf**kers accidentally get shot. But I don't want that. And you don't want that. And Ringo here definitely doesn't want that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because you don't get neat little phrases like "Yippee Kiayay - Muther Fucker" and the likes from Bridget Jones Diary or Terms of Endearment I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 February 1, 2005 I quote movies all the time, too, and I often end up quoting the same "classic" movies that the guys quote all the time ... "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?""There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something nelike, "I hear professional killing is a growth industry," comes next, right? BUT, no one's talking about WHY men quote more than women for the most part....other than Turtle's dumb comment Turtle, I've never seen Terms of Endearment.

NWFlyer 2 #14 February 1, 2005 Here's a theory. The kind of movies that get quoted are the kind of movies that people watch over and over and over again to the point where they can say the dialogue before the actors. Frankly, the average "chick flick" wears thin after one or two viewings. Soooo... chicks who watch "guy flicks" are more likely to quote from them. Just a theory, anyway.
