Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A man was showing his friend a new set of matched golf clubs he had just bought.
“Doctor’s orders,” the man told his friend. “My wife and I have been gaining too much weight
and we went to see the doctor about it. He said we needed more exercise, so I joined the
country club and bought myself this set of golf clubs.”
“What about your wife?” the friend asked. “What did you buy her?”
“A new lawn mower,” the golfer said. 😳
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“And the answer to your question is, yes – if you fight for me, you get to kill the English.”
“Excellent!”
Answer: Braveheart!
In the events leading up to this scene, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) attempts to unite all the individual fighting groups in 13th-century Scotland into one big army in its battle to overthrow English rule. In this scene, Wallace is trying to persuade Irish fighter Stephen (David O’Hara) to join his army and answers his question with line one. Stephen is satisfied with his answer and replies with line two. This movie tells the mostly true story of Wallace (although documentation about the details is sketchy, at best). In the 1996 Academy Awards “Braveheart” won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Mel Gibson for Best Director and was nominated for five more. One significant deviation from history is that the Battle of Stirling Bridge was shown in the movie as being fought on an open plain. In actuality, a narrow bridge separated the English and Scottish forces. The Scottish waited to attack until the English were only partially across, and the bridge was too narrow for the rest of the English to rapidly cross once the fighting started.
When asked by a local why the battle was filmed on an open plain, Mel Gibson answered, “The bridge got in the way.” “Aye,” the local responded, “That’s what the English found.”
Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
“I don’t know how you’re holding up, but everything is just beautiful.”
“Yeah, we put on a great funeral here.”
“Maybe I’ll have mine here.”
“Well we give first priority to those who kill themselves in one of our bathrooms.”
