Thread #6 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."  Gone with the Wind

Although when Rhett Butler sweeps Scarlett into his arms and carries her up the stairs to have his wicked way with her, that's pretty hot, too.

Almost any scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

See, I never got the appeal of Ferris, and so many people quote it as one of their favourites. I might have to watch it again...

*whispers* I'm with you on this. He is very annoying. 

Here's something to brighten our day:

It seems to be working now....

Ok so it's not The Office spread over 8 books. That's good, just checking. I'm weary of FF authors taking their FFs and trying to wring every last penny they can out of them...I never read the FF version of Gabriel's Inferno but I thought the first book was just fantastic, then the second book was just so so and I'm now reading Redemption and it's so weak I can barely fathom that it's by the same author! I'm struggling to finish it to be honest, so sad 

Definitely not the office spread out over 8 books, all can be read as stand alones though a few have follow up novellas.
I've only managed to read Gabriel's Inferno the others in the series are on my (never ending) TBR. 

So I'm now off from work for Christmas, whoop whoop! And as is tradition I've just finished watching Funny Girl for the 100th time...The scene when she's (Barbra Streisand) on the tug boat trying to catch-up with Nick Arnstein singing Don't Rain on My Parade is one of my favourite scenes in a film ever! I still get goose pumps. Anyway I was thinking I so loved hearing who everyone's first TV boyfriend was I'm now wondering, what everyone else's favourite film scene is.

Twilight films not allowed!..  :D

I could do that for the Wizard of Oz. And maybe the Sound of Music.  I love musicals, but my husband doesn't. So I don't watch them much any more.

Is it wrong that I've never watched Funny Girl or the Sound of Music (or Star Wars) . 

But I can quote every single line from The Panic in Needle Park and My Own Private Idaho, which turns out isn't very useful at all. 

Gabriel's Inferno was great, the rest? I'd say skip them if you don't want to be disappointed.

Funny Girl was on BBC2 on Saturday and I Tivo'd it....but you can get it online...

I've not seen any of those films...but I know I really should as its a fail on my part. Loop you have to give your favourite scene/s

I'm gonna make that my mission this Christmas to watch FG and TSoM.   

Fave scene from MoPI: is when Scott (Keanu) and Mike (River) are sat around a fire talking about their pasts and how it's okay for them to sleep with other guys as they're getting paid for it but two guys can't love each other unless they're getting paid for it when Mike admits that he's in love with Scott and wants to kiss him.
Kills me every time and it's such a typical Gus Van Sant scene. 

For TPiNP: it's gotta be when Bobby (Al Pacino) and Helen (Kitty Winn) take the ferry out to the country and buy a puppy, which jumps overboard and drowns while Bobby and Helen are getting a fix in the ship's loo.   
Random scene to choose but it's one of many that shows that even though they try and be "normal" the drugs win out every time. 

TPiNP definitely isn't for everyone as there's a real long scene involving shooting up and OD'ing etc - it's a great film about love and drug addiction. If it wasn't for this film Al Pacino wouldn't of been casted as Michael Corleone in the Godfather. 

You asked for fave scenes and I went the "lighter" faves from both of these. 
They're the sort of films you can sit down and watch after a lovely sunday roast, not.  :P

I  Funny Girl!!!

First thing that popped in my head:


"Where shall I go, what shall I do?!?!"

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

**SWOON** Clarke Gable... My favorite story of all time 

I could do that for the Wizard of Oz. And maybe the Sound of Music.  I love musicals, but my husband doesn't. So I don't watch them much any more.

Same here... Although, he's a trooper sometimes and will stick it out for me. Majority of the time though I end up alone on the couch *aahhahahaa!

Almost any scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero."

"You killed the car"

 

"My name is Jeanie, but most guys call me Shawna"

Great scene from FB, love that film. 
Actually I just love pretty much any film John Hughes made, especially his earlier stuff .
