Two things
One
Here’s a good Blogliners idea:
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Movie quotes in retrospect can be such amusing groaners, so c’mon folks… let’s trot out your favorite cheesy movie lines.
Shall we open this up to include all the lurkers who might be a bit too shy to leave a comment – come and dip a toe in the water, it’s lovely and warm I promise!
Two
A photograph of me has been sitting on this site for days and no-one has spotted it. Shame on you!

“Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn!” We were all terribly shocked at the use of profanity back then and now I am sure the phrase could be rewritten to update it. “#$%@#!!, Scarlett you moth#$#%@@er, I don’t give a shite (as Brits say it)!” P.S. Daisy, have you tested your site in Firefox or Mozilla? Your elements are not positioned correctly – two boxes overun the top image. Kind of like – Pssst, oh say, you’re slip is showing.

Nice one Mary!
Now about my petticoat, would it be possible for you to take a screenshot and email it to me? I use Firefox 1.0 and it looks fine (all three column tops are aligned) but I tested it only in FF 0.9 and Explorer 6 (shame on me for not testing it elsewhere but I knew you guys would come up trumps!)
Then of course I’ll spend a week trying to fix it before asking for help on that too :-0))

1. Damn. Why is it in moments like this that I can’t remember any of my favourite cheesy movie quotes. The only thing that comes to mind right now is the “to me, you are perfect” cardboard message in Love, Actually. Which was sorta cute. But not my favourite by any shot.
2. Where, where?!
PS. Site looks fine in Firefox 1.0-PR.

The top 10 popcorniest lines
LONDON – Actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Titanic” declaration “I’m the king of the world!” has been voted the cheesiest line in modern movie history, according to a survey of 2,000 moviegoers.
Patrick Swayze’s famous line in “Dirty Dancing” – “Nobody puts Baby in the corner” – came in second in the survey, conducted by the BBC.
And “Is it still raining? I hadn’t noticed,” uttered by Andie MacDowell at the end of “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” was placed third by the Brits questioned.
Swayze makes another unenviable appearance at fourth place in “Ghost.” “I love you,” co-star Demi Moore says, to which Swayze replies: “Ditto.”
“Top Gun” landed in fifth for the moment Val Kilmer tells Tom Cruise: “You can be my wing man anytime.”
Julia Roberts’ line from “Notting Hill” – “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her” – was voted sixth.
Bill Pullman is seventh, as the U.S. President vowing to fight off alien invasion: “Today we celebrate our Independence Day.”
Eighth went to Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” declaration: “They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!”
Renee Zellweger was ninth on the list for the line in “Jerry Maguire” when she says to Tom Cruise: “You had me at hello.”
And a line delivered by Kevin Costner in his flop “The Postman” rounds off the top 10.
“You’re a godsend, a savior,” a blind woman tells him. “No,” he replies. “I’m a postman.”

I wondered the same as Allan.

My favorite movie quote is from the dolph version of the Punisher…
“Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is punishement? Or have you already answerd, have you already said to the world, here is justice, here is punishement, here…in ME!”

…my wife is known to often quote in my wake “he’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy…now piss off” :^)…this normally occurs when I am talking to my adoring fans – who have been many this week as I have been impressing my work mates with stories…stories like “this redhead went to see a doctor…..” :^)…

Ding Dong, well done Allen and Katherine. That podgy little madam never far from a pen and paper is indeed yours truly.
Andrea, I’ve not yet seen Love Actually but hoping to watch it when it’s screened at Christmas – I’ll be thinking of you when that line comes up!
Anan & Sallie, I’m not speaking to you any more ;-0))
Thanks Morgaine, there are some crackers in there.
Timula, I think that’s reason #322 to avoid that film.
Billy, you have adoring fans across the world without my really bad jokes but I’m glad you enjoyed them.

BTW the site’s now looking a lot better in AvantBrowser than it used to (and perfectly credulant in Firefox on my machine)

Daisy, the site looks fabulous!
I’ll have to ponder movie quotes…

John Cusack in The Sure Thing: “We speak each other’s unspoken language… fluently.” I love him, but talk about a cheesy line!

“You’re a real cowboy, ain’t ya?” Debra Winger in Urban Cowboy. I love to sling that one at my husband whenever he gets too full of himself.
