Memorial Day double-feature
Christopher, during Pirates of the Carribbean:
“Is he dead? Why are they fighting him if he’s already dead and can’t be killed anyway? Oh—now he’s alive ‘cause they turned upside down and—wait—dead again. Right? And are those two in love or are they not in love? They were in love, right? And why crabs? And why are there two little Johnny Depps? And a great big lady? I just can’t deal with everybody shrinking and growing all the damned time—and whose side is he on again? First one and then the other? And does the great big lady love the squid face or hate the squid face? I hate the squid face. And also the lady. All of them, actually. Except Chow Yung Fat. Where are you, Chow Yung Fat?”
Me, during 28 Weeks Later:
“Don’t look out there! Don’t open the door! Don’t go up the stairs! Don’t leave your wife! Don’t get in the motor boat! Don’t sneak across the bridge into the restricted zone! Don’t go up the stairs! Don’t hug your mother! Don’t go in there! Don’t kiss her! Don’t get separated! Don’t lock hundreds of civilians into a stadium! Don’t go into the airshaft! Don’t shoot at all those people! Don’t go to the deserted carnivale! Don’t get in the car! Don’t get out of the car! Don’t drive into the subway! Don’t go down into the subway! Don’t point the gun at the children! Don’t let the bloody kid into the helicopter! Don’t go to France!”
