Sweet, My Cousin Vinny is on again

[pokerfan]

Is there anyone who doesn't love this film?

"Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than anywhere else on the face of the earth? I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?"

1. I agree.. I forget til it is accidently on...

" Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A fuckin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch who shot you was wearing?

:rofl:

2. Yeah, it's one of those movies I've seen the second half

about twice as often as the first and the ending about 10x more than the start.

Lisa, I don't need this. I swear to God, I do not need this right now, okay? I've got a judge that's just aching to throw me in jail. An idiot who wants to fight me for two hundred dollars. Slaughtered pigs. Giant loud whistles. I ain't slept in five days. I got no money, a dress code problem, AND a little murder case which, in the balance, holds the lives of two innocent kids. Not to mention your (stamping foot) BIOLOGICAL CLOCK - my career, your life, our marriage, and let me see, what else can we pile on? Is there any more SHIT we can pile on to the top of the outcome of this case? Is it possible?

3. there is no way it could be that car!

Mona Lisa Vito: No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

good stuff!

:woohoo:

5. Academy Award win for Marisa

[bigwillq]

6. And I think she totally deserved it

despite some critics who said she did not. She owned that role. A great performance in a great movie, imo.

9. Having not seen all the other performances

My opinion is uninformed...

Other Nominees:
# Damage (1992) - Miranda Richardson (I)
# Enchanted April (1992) - Joan Plowright
# Howards End (1992) - Vanessa Redgrave
# Husbands and Wives (1992) - Judy Davis (I)

11. I saw all of them.

And I thought Tomei was best followed by

Davis
Richardson
Redgrave (limited screen time)
Plowright

7. I've been looking

and having a blast, but i can't find where she speals the "posit traction"

:D

8. imdb/quotes

Lisa: The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!

Vinny: And why not? What is positraction?

Lisa: It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
