Jun 12 2007Hollywood Sequel Train Still Rolling
"Matt Damon!"
Alternate headline: Sequels Still Running Train on Hollywood
Sam Jackson recently told MTV News that he's working on getting together a sequel to The Long Kiss Goodnight with Reny Harlin. The Long Kiss Goodnight came out in 1996 and starred Geena Davis as basically the female version of Jason Bourne. Jackson played the lovable black guy.
I'm torn on this one. On one hand, making a second Long Kiss Goodnight is about as ridiculous as making a second Last Boyscout. On the other hand, as far as crappy action movies go, I'll take a LKG or a Last Boyscout over Jerry Bruckheimer any day - at least they're good for a one-liner every now and then. See my favorites, after the jump.
Favorite Last Boyscout one-liner: (Bruce Willis on the phone after waking up in his car and finding a dead squirrel that the neighborhood kids have stuck through the window) "What the happened to you last night?" "I don't know. I think I might have f***ed a squirrel to death."
Favorite Long Kiss Goodnight one-liner: (Sam Jackson, responding to Geena Davis' question about about whether he's ever bitten the ear of a virgin while making love to her to take her mind off the other pain) "Naw, I usually punch 'em in the neck and yell 'Pop goes the weasel!'"

Please God no, don't touch LKG. It would suck. Really.

Oh man, I secretly loved LKG so much that I'm not so disappointed about the prospect of a sequel.
"And what about your daughter? What's her name? Cathead?
"Caitlin."
You'll also see me first in line for Reindeer Games 2.

I remember liking this movie, mainly because of that thing she does with the shot glass. I need to learn that trick.

The Last Boy Scout:
Smart Thug: See Jake, here is a man who knows when a situation is untenable.
Joe Hallenbeck: Good word.
Smart Thug: You like that word? And you do have that envelope, don't you?
Joe Hallenbeck: Better give up, Jimmy. We're dealin' with a couple of geniuses here.
[Jake punches Joe]
Jimmy Dix: Hey man, just leave him the fuck alone.
[Jake kicks Jimmy in the balls]
Smart Thug: Leave him alone? Yeah, sure Jimmy. Whatever you say. Jake here takes his job with a certain exuberance.
Jimmy Dix: Shit, we're being beat up by the inventor of scrabble.
Best...movie....ever!

Alley Thug: Wrong place, wrong time. Nothing personal.
Joe Hallenbeck: That's what you think. Last night I fucked your wife.
Alley Thug: Oh you did, hah? How'd you know it was my wife?
Joe Hallenbeck: She said her husband was a big pimp lookin' motherfucker with a hat.
Alley Thug: Oh, you're real cool for a guy about to take a bullet.
Joe Hallenbeck: After fucking your wife I'll take two.
Willis is a god!

Um ...I hate a smartass as much as the next guy, but the quote goes: "I usually just sock 'em in the jaw and yell pop goes the weasel."
Still.. Love your work man.
