Guest El Satanico Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 I thought it was a good idea. GodDAMN that was hilarious, even if I was the only white dude in the theater and kept getting funny looks. heh...i know how that is. Me and a friend were the only white boys in the theater for Higher Learning. A truly awful movie, but I got some funny looks when i hollered out "bullshit" when some fatass black kid knocked out this huge muscular skin head. I sorta forgot where i was at when saying it...but come on there's no way some out of shape fat fucker is going to kick the ass of some huge muscular skin head.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Silly rabbit, Attica was Dog Day Afternoon!
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 How some one can mention Ben Affleck's little speeches in Boiler Room and not mention Alec Baldwin's in GLENGARRY GLENN ROSS is totally beyond me. Shit, that was the whole vibe they were *coughrippingoffcough* going for. Boiler Room is good, but essentially it's just a Glengarry for you teenyboppers. ...and the age gap becomes more and more apparent.
Guest Nevermortal Posted October 31, 2002 Report Posted October 31, 2002 Silly rabbit, Attica was Dog Day Afternoon! Fuck, you're right. Sorry, Pacino's been in so many good flicks that they are hard to account for.
Guest converge241 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 "How some one can mention Ben Affleck's little speeches in Boiler Room and not mention Alec Baldwin's in GLENGARRY GLENN ROSS is totally beyond me." baldwin's coffee's for closers seems too dependant on the others' involvement to be considered a true monologue.. a great scene still Al pacinos in that movie are great too
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted November 1, 2002 Report Posted November 1, 2002 the "pop music" monologue at the beginning of 'High Fidelity'... the Magic Bullet speech from JFK
Guest kingkamala Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 Michael Richards monologue in UHF Stanley Spadowski: Life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and hairballs and things and you gotta clean it out. You gotta stick it in here and rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes life sticks to the floor so much that a mop, a mop, it's not good enough. You gotta get down there with like a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta really scrub 'cause you gotta get it off! But if that doesn't work, you can't give up! You gotta stand right up! You gotta run to a window and say, "These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more!"
Guest spiny norman Posted November 2, 2002 Report Posted November 2, 2002 Come on! Why hasn't it been posted yet???? As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again! No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again! - Gone With The Wind Heathens
Guest Dmann2000 Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 Well while we're on the subject, I'm surprised no one (including me till now) mentione Orson Welles Cukoo clock speech in "The Third Man"
Guest cabbageboy Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 Drat I was about to say the 3rd Man too. How about the Bogey speech in Casablanca about the hill of beans and all that. I dunno if it technically is a monologue since Ingrid says maybe one or two lines though.

Guest DARRYLXWF Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 There are several monologues in Chariots of Fire that I love, in fact, the entire movie is awesome.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 My choice goes to a couple of fairly good examples of angst at it's finest. "Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." "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." Both courtesy, of course, of Mr. Tyler Durden. There ya go Ravenbomb. (didn't see it was your choice at first look) BTW: Yes Renton's finishing speech that just about sums up materialism in the modern world is pretty damn good: "Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaing up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you.The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die. " I sincerely hope they manage to make the sequel.
Guest godthedog Posted November 3, 2002 Report Posted November 3, 2002 i thought renton's opening monologue was a lot better, actually. it grabbed me, was different & funny.
Guest converge241 Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 the music really adds to renton's ending as well "born slippy" -underworld for the uniformed (noW go buy 2nd toughest of the infants RIGHT NOW!")
