"Oh, I can't go on..."
Dec. 4th, 2004 09:52 pmOkay, Sleepless in Seattle is totally not one of my favorite films. I am all for chick flicks, but the whole dead wife, stupid son, annoying children, radio people, long distance, empire state building nonsense is a little much for me. (apologies to those who adore the film.)
However, I do know that Victor Garber is in it, due to my long time adoration of the man going back to '97 when I first saw him as the be-accented, suave, handsome, intelligent martyr Mr. Andrews in 'Titanic'.
Anyway, long story short, I remembered that he had dinner with Tom Hanks in SiS. So, today, while my sister was channel surfing, she landed on it, and after she left with my mother, she left it on.
So, I take my shower and come back and I'm on the computer when I hear the dulcet tones of my SpyDaddy on the television.
In the movie his name is Greg and he's married to Rita Wilson who, for some reason or another, start gushing about 'An Affair to Remember' (another movie I hated) and, in the process, starts crying. The boys tease her and SpyDaddy uses big words. He blew a kiss to Rita, too! It was so cute!
And then they start teasing her with mock crying and fake breath hitches and oh my GOD it's delicious.
And IMDB has a quote of it.
*sobs* I love when SpyDaddy is funny!
Sam Baldwin: Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg: She's, as you just saw, very emotional.
Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."
Greg: Who didn't?
Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin
[Begins to cry]
Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg: [Crying too] Stop, stop!
Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez...
Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!
Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg: Stop.
Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg: [Crying harder] Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.
