“A Comedy about Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Two Ex-Presidents”
It’s a fantastic movie with a really quick, witty script. Has anyone in the peanut gallery seen it before?
A few quotes
- Mrs. Kramer: (after Kramer fills a liquor bottle with water to make it seem as if he didn’t have any) “Don’t do that with the liquor, Russ, it’s so George Bush”
- Kramer (commenting when Douglas wants to borrow $5 for a bacon burger): You want five dollars to buy a $1.99 hamburger and you wonder why the Democrats are in trouble?
- Kramer: It’s a kick in the balls. Sorry, sweetheart.
Mrs. Kramer: Please, I’m a politician’s wife, I have a set of my own. - Kramer: I was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year.
Douglas: So was Hitler.
Kramer: Not twice. - “Hail to the chief, he’s the chief and he needs hailing, he is the chief so everybody hail like crazy.” (Kramer’s lyrics for “Hail to the Chief“)
- “Hail to the chief, if you don’t I’ll have to kill you, I am the chief so you’d better watch your step you bastards.” (Douglas’ lyrics for “Hail to the Chief”)
- Kramer: How’s Mrs. Douglas?
Douglas: We’re in the middle of a divorce.
Kramer: Oh yeah, I knew that didn’t I? Yeah, I guess life in the White House put too much of a strain on your marriage.
Douglas: No, it was being out of the White House that Katherine couldn’t stand.
Kramer: Well gee, that’s funny, your being out of the White House went over so well with the rest of the country.
Douglas: Oh yeah, you wanna compare popularity polls?
Kramer: Yeah, let’s talk about popularity. There was only one assassination attempt on me. You had three.
Douglas: Two! The woman in Phoenix doesn’t count…she only had a starter pistol.
And speaking of movies… what is your favorite movie to watch on Thanksgiving? Christmas? Or are you movie-free on holidays?
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and brand new stay at home mom. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate on a budget, and keep a happy home. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
Every year near the holidays I watch Love Actually. It’s kind of a new age Christmas love story
We also watch the classics such as A Christmas Story and Santa Claus is coming to town.
We don’t have tv either. I should have gone to the video store and picked out something semi political. Maybe the American President
When it comes to Thanksgiving, my extended family watches “Its a Wonderful Life” each year.
We are very big into Christmas movies. For as long as I can remember, my family has watched “A Christmas Story” on Christmas Eve while eating an appetizer dinner. Then we watch the Grinch or Scrooged, or more recently, Elf.
