Call It

A stupid New York Times article about all the one-liners disappearing from movies.

The obvious thing is that it takes some time for one-liners to be solidified into the verbal lexicon. But just off the top of my head, "Are you afraid of violence?" "I'm a fiend for mojitos," and "We can get down if the play calls for it." And that's just one movie, sucka.

And much as I love Chinatown - "Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown" isn't exactly quoted very often.

Lame, NY Times, lame.
