Waiting for Guffman

For 3 years I have used the classic lines "you're bastard people!" and "i hate your ass-face". But on my 2304987425th viewing of the movie, I decided to dig deeper and examine the other layers of the movie. I first moved on to "Corky we love you! We want you to live!" as well as "Just drive up and get a coke."

Now I pretty much just mine the final scene with Corky in his new theatre shop:

Those are mah big heads.
Kids don't like school, but with a Remains of the Day lunchbox.....
The part of 'enry 'iggins.....the stern taskmaster....

etc. etc.

I'm convinced there are still lines to be found. Though I'm not sure where since I can recite the entire movie from beginning to end. I need the DVD version with extra footage. When will they release it and complete my life???

How about, "We'll put a rifle here, a rifle there..." or "Being a Fabin...is not easy. I definitely know how the Kennedys feel."

Which brings me to the next point. Security.

I forgot:

"there's only one other person who can do that, and that's miss barbra streisand"

and

"blaine is the heart of Missouri...."

and

"But you're strong, Ron! you're strong!"

i just watched it last night. well, parts of it. my new favorite scene is when they're at the chinese restaurant-*what's it like being with a circumsized man?*

another good line: *one of those guys who wears those hats-with the sweeping ::hand motion:: brim...and chaps*

OR...*i was shopping for my wife, bonnie...*

yay!

I love the restaurant scene -- the part where she's all drunk and goes "psh psh sh sh sh -- girl talk." I should start saying that more often.

And then I look away. And then I close my eyes. And then I look away....

i think dr. pearl will come around. and he'll see, as ron and shelia and i see, that corky has a vision.

my favorite line in *best in show* is:

*couldn't have ordered up a better day...*
*i woke up. i was so glad.*

my God! people who like waiting for guffman! maybe even more than i do!

i swear. there are layers. keep digging. each time i watch it i appreciate a different line. not everyone gets past a certain point in understanding the humor.
