Apocalypse Now

Quote
 

"If you're going to lead people, you have to have somewhere to go."

Thank you Cole...I never would have gotten it......So long gang, I'm jumpin' threads over to the new one now.

Time for a hint Brian... no takers so far.

IT's in black and white. And has a nice link to the movie with the quote I answered.

Okay, this one has been buggin' me....because I kept thinking of Streets of Fire...remember that one? I used to manage a video store in the 80's and watched it more than was good for me.....but I my nephew just lent me Sin City the other day, and the B&W (& Mickey) got me hankerin' to watch Rumble Fish, which I also watched alot back in the day (something about Diane Lane I guess)...so after watching it again, (after many years), I come to two conclusions about Rumble Fish...

#1 - now that I am almost 40, it just doesn't have the same 'coming of age' personal angst impact that it did when I was young.

#2. I am fairly confident that it is the the answer to your riddle.

Your right!
I'm 28 and it still works for me. It was on HBO or something the other night. I love the fight in the opening. West side story gone bad. Also it's sad to think how great micky was and could have been when watching this and pope.

You're turn for a quote.

Right on. Here's an easy one.

"...eroding.....EROOOODDDDIIIING!"

Real shot in the dark here....

Short Circuit???

Nope. Try again. It is from a comedy from the last couple of years. The scene from which this line is quoted is hilariously comical. I almost peed my pants when I first saw it.
-Jon

I'll elongate it a little bit by adding to it slightly to better reflect a fuller portion of the quote:
!
"eroding.....EEERODING! EROOOODDDDIIIING!!!"

just try speaking it in the manner it is written. If you've seen the movie, it will become clear very quickly.

-Jon

"robin hood: Men in tights"?

... extreme real shot in the dark :-)

Sorry. Try again.

I'll give it a few more hours, and if no takers, I'll add a few more sentences....but then it will be a total giveaway.
-Jon

Okay, time to give it away with a few more sentences from the referenced scene:

-- "I'm here with Katherine Hepburn's mom."

-- "Did you feel bad at all letting Leo DiCaprio drown, while you were safe floating on the big door?"

-- "You've been running Maid of the Mist for 23 years now. Tell me, why do you think I didn't get the anchor job?"

-- "Or, like the great falls, is the bedrock of my life eroding beneath me? Eroding, Eeroooding.....EEEERRROOOOOODING!"


Somebody has GOT to get this. If not, my next clue will be the name of the movie.
-Jon

say no more!

Bruce almighty.
