Via The Movie Blog I found out that Entertainment Weekly has compiled a list of 15 nominees for the worst movie dialogue ever. Some of them are indeed too corny, but a couple don’t belong on this list at all. Here they are in no particular order:

Notting Hill – “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”

While it’s not the greatest dialogue and is cheesy as anything, remember the setting and who’s saying it. Julia Roberts plays an actress who falls in love with a simple bookshop owner (Hugh Grant). Of course, that lines is supposed to be cheesy. The character is an actress, playing out her very own love scene. The line is perfect for this movie.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith – “Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo.”

I can’t argue with this. Almost every single line in those Star Wars prequels were cringe worth. The worst one though in my eyes has to be: “Anakin, you’re breaking my heart! And you’re going down a path I cannot follow!”

Ever After – “A bird may love a fish, signore, but where will they live?’”

I love Ever After, so I might be a bit biased on this one. That line in particular though doesn’t deserve to be on the list. It’s followed by the best line of the movie delivered by Leonardo Da Vinci: “Then I will give you wings.”

X-Men – “You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.”

Ooh, worst line of that movie. At the time I thought Halle Berry was a bad actress, but I’m now I think no one could ever possibly make that line work.

Sin City – “My warrior woman. My valkyrie. You’ll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It’ll burn us both. It’ll kill us both. There’s no place in this world for our kind of fire.”

I don’t understand why this line is in the list. Sin City was brilliant. If you think the dialogue is clunky, than you just don’t get the film.

Pretty Woman – “And she rescues him right back.”

I hated this line in the movie. She’s going to rescue him? Because now he won’t be lonely anymore?

She’s All That – “I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You know, except for the whole hooker thing”

This line in itself doesn’t seem so bad, but it’s the moment in which she says it that makes it so horrible. They’re supposed to be dancing romantically with each other and then she says this? Awkward…

City of Angels – “We were made to fit together.”

Yep, cheesy line in a cheesy scene in a cheesy chick flick. But, hey, I still love the film.

Four Weddings and a Funeral – “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed.”

Of course, it’s still raining! You’re standing in the freaking rain, getting freaking soaked!

Here are the rest of the quotes:

Jerry Maguire – “You complete me.”

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me – “I’m gone, like a turkey in the corn. Gobble gobble!”

Love Story – “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”

A Cry in the Dark – “A dingo ate my baby! “The dingo’s got my baby!”

As Good as it Gets – “You’re why cavemen chiseled on walls.”

Dirty Dancing – “I carried a watermelon.”

Most of these movies I haven’t seen (I know, I know, I call myself a movie lover and I haven’t even seen these films yet) or just don’t remember that particular line. So what are your most cringe worthy movie lines?

Until about a year ago, I didn’t really have a daily morning ritual. I wasn’t so addicted to my computer that I had to check it the moment I woke up. At the time I didn’t even follow any blogs or other news sources. Since I got a laptop though that kind of changed. My laptop is with hand’s reach of my bed and every morning I sit at least half an hour in bed, slowly waking up and reading all the items in my news reader. Among those items are a great collection of geeky web comics. I’ll share with you a couple of my favourites.

xkcd

Every geek should read xkcd; it’s a weird mix of humor, math, romance and language.

Geek and Poke

Cute comic with some great humor on blogging, Twitter and other “social media”.

Applegeeks

Surprisingly it’s not always Apple related.

Sinfest

I mainly like the cat and dog comics here. The rest can be funny at times, but the cat and dog are always hilarious.

Real Life Comics

Funny comic about a geeky couple, Greg and Liz.

PHD Comics

While I’m not doing a PHD, I am still trying to finish my master’s and this comic sometimes captures exactly how I’m feeling.

Interesting links for February 2nd through February 3rd:

• Top 15 Clever Adverts – Some very interesting advertisement campaigns. A couple I had seen before (the camera lens is a bus wheel and the jaws of a shark bus doors), but most of them I had never seen before.
• 20 of the Best Evil Lairs and Criminal Hideouts | Geek About – Great list of the lairs and hideouts from villains of movies.
• Forbidden Kingdom Posters – Ooh, this posters from the Forbidden Kingdom are pretty! I always like those promotional one-sheets, featuring only one character. The image they make when they’re hung up together is much more convincing.
