Go Ahead, Waste My Time

Yes, my title is a really lousy rendition of the "Go ahead, make my day" line as uttered by Clint Eastwood in Sudden Impact. But it's relevant because this post is about a website dedicated to some of the cheesiest lines ever spoken in action movies. The Quotable Action Hero blog is guaranteed to waste at least fifteen minutes of your life. So what's weird about it? It may just be a matter of opinion, but these are not your typical quotations. In fact, if the blog author didn't include the movie's name along with the quote, I would have no idea where most of these lines came from. What do you think?

I remember some of them. Can't remember what I had for breakfast but I can remember some of those lines! :long:

Wow, I can't believe how many of those movies I have seen (or own). Not the good ones either, but the ones that future generations will mistake for B-movies, like Timecop and Hudson Hawk...

I've seen most of the movies on his list but those lines don't stand out to me. Course I'm like you Expat and can't remember what I had for breakfast. Then again it could just be that some of those movies are so bad I've blocked them out on purpose.

i remember several of them too, but then my hubby lovingly refers to me as a font of useless information so that's not a suprise.
