These are so hilarious but I feel obligated and embarrassed to admit a good handful of the more melodramatic lines were ones I rather liked when I first saw them.
Some of these movies I almost want to watch now. Not Wicker Man, though. The bees were great, mind you, but even getting it free from my library, I still wouldn’t want to put myself through it. I also see why Travolta’s revolting love song to L. Ron Hubbard got panned, too. Yikes.
Love how almost every word Arnold said in that Batman movie was included. Of course, I don’t find some of these cheesy at all. You can take any climactic words in a love story out of context and it’ll sound pretty damn cheesy. I think about 25% of this is fairly good writing and is just taken out of context. No one writes for those who aren’t engaged in the characters or love story, only for those who are.
What the hell was that at the end? “I’m exhausted.” “Yeah, me too. But, I’m wired. Whattya say we go to my place and I eat your pussy?” hahaha. what!?
Some of these are amazingly cheesy and unintentionally laughable, yes, but others are INTENTIONALLY funny. The screenwriter was clearly attempting to be funny there.
Why did they include things that were MEANT to be wisecracks? :S
They also included a lot of things that were meant to be goofy, like Samuel L.Jackson’s immortal “I’ve had it with these mother—ing snakes on this mother—-ing plane!”.
Dan Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and is an adjunct philosophy professor at five universities this semester (Fordham, Fairfield, Hofstra, William Paterson, and Hunter College). Hear him overview his ideas about the blog's main topics (ethics, religion, atheism, and the atheist movement) in this definitive half hour interview (given to the podcast "Whatever Whatever Amen"). You can also watch him introduce some of Nietzsche's ideas in a ten minute video. Dan was a devout evangelical Christian until he grappled with The Portable Nietzsche while enrolled at one of America's most conservative Christian undergraduate institutions (Grove City College). He went on to write his dissertation on Nietzsche. Learn more about his deconversion and his views on how (and why) to have civil dialogue with religious people in his hour long interview with the Angry Atheist podcast. Also read his article Apostasy As A Religious Act (Or "Why A Camel Hammers The Idols Of Faith"), which explains why those who want to respect religious people and their experiences should stop trying to silence former believers for speaking out against their former religions. (This article also contains the key to understanding why this blog is named "Camels With Hammers".)

Why did they include things that were MEANT to be wisecracks? :S
Because they are not funny as wisecracks but as lame attempts at wisecracks.
They also included a lot of things that were meant to be goofy, like Samuel L.Jackson’s immortal “I’ve had it with these mother—ing snakes on this mother—-ing plane!”.
the most memorable movie quote that i could think of is the one on Forest Gump ,,”
