I think my favorite Simpsons quote comes from Mr. Burns: Homer: You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny. Mr. Burns: Oh, yes. But I'd trade it all for a little more.
Honestly, I've never been so bored and intrigued by a film at the same time. From the random doorbell bomb at the beginning then Bogarde's glassware, the bomber pilot sketch that goes nowhere to the weird Arab beach landing at the end. Also, I guess Fothergill is still out there.... somewhere.
“That’s a problem for Future Homer, man I don’t envy THAT guy!!!” and “Ooh, they have the internet on computers now!!!” plus “a wizard did it” are my go-to’s most days
The Simpsons quote I always want (and fail) to deploy in everyday conversation is from the Mr Sparkle episode. "There's your answer, Fishbulb." There are so many opportunities to say "there's your answer" to someone, but if I could only remember to add "Fishbulb" to that, it would really sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Tbh I probably use more Simpsons quotes in daily life than I'm aware of, but the one that springs to mind has to be "Everything's coming up Milhouse!" whenever something goes right. So rarely.
the best part about Anton Chigurh is that he isn't just an evil man. An evil man would flip the coin and kill the guy no matter what. The only time Anton shows any emotion is when he flips the coin and doesn't have to kill the guy. He is genuinely happy. That makes him even more scary, because of his twisted sense of morality
Spider Pig, Mr. Plow, those songs pop up in my head with alarming frequency. Also the many variations of Marge saying " Homer " depending upon the situation. We named our first English Springer Spaniel 'Homer ' because he was literally the fattest, roundest, pudgiest puppy that spent most of his time sitting in the food dish, eating.
The whirler is to speed up the top by getting it to go around the center disk. Then turn it horizontal next to a horizontal flat surface by squeezing the tongs. The top flies off and spins for longer than a string or by hand can.
Another fine episode you fine basement folks but did you know that in 2004 there was a direct-to-DVD release called My Name Is Modesty: A Modesty Blaise Adventure "presented" by Quentin Tarantino and directed by his friend and Evil Dead II co-writer Scott Spiegel!? It's an interesting curiosity that whilst not that good at least clocks in at 78 minutes!.. :)
And here's a Seen It suggestion, because of the Losey / Bogarde / Pinter connection... I watched 'The Servant' (1963) recently and thought it was a knockout. Tense, provocative, beautifully shot, and perfect for a double bill with Nicolas Roeg's 'Performance' (1970). Have ye seen it?
I would say that Michael Crichton's Sphere is among my favorite book-to-film adaptations that holds incredibly close to the original work. It came at a time before i really tracked actors in their roles and it is still an enjoyable experience even now later in life
I saw this film when i was 12. And proceeded to learn knife throwing and reading the novels by O Donnel. I just watched it again, maybe for the last time. I'd love for Tarantino to do a serious treatment of I, Lucifer. Give it a read.
When ever I drink something tasty I'll use the quote. "Whoa, that's a good squishy". Thought of another one that I've used for so long I forgot it was from the Simpsons. Thanks to Moe, I call the garage "the car hole"
Hey gents! I was wondering if you've seen John Milius's The Wind and the Lion. If you can get past the oddity of the ever-Scottish Sean Connery playing a Moroccan revolutionary, it's a fantastic adventure epic and my favorite film depiction of Theodore Roosevelt. If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend giving it a watch!
You've got to check out _Fathom_ (1967). It's right up your alley. Basically the same movie as MB - but cut more for American audiences. The opening credits - with Raquel Welsh packing her parachute - is simply not to be missed. Fathom Harvill: Delightful dental hygienist by day, sexy superspy by night. Incredible scenery in this one. Shot in Spain, I think.
My regular Simpsons quote is from the same episode, and its also a Jasper quote. When they run to him after realizing Smithers shot him, and his response is "you shot who with the what now?" Thats my response pretty much anytime I don't hear someone the first time
Seen it: "The Blind Menace" (60). 2 years before the Zatoichi series, Shintaro Katsu stars as an evil blind masseuse. An interesting supplement after completiing the series.
"This movie should've been 40 minutes shorter. But there's just so many pointless and long scenes and talking scenes and they talk so slowly. Everyone has a different accent from different countries that don't exist." "But you know what you just described there? Every single spy movie ever!" Brilliant! LOL
Not sure if the 40s girl on the postcard over Craig's shoulder is Deanna Durbin, but one of her films would provide subjects for fruitful commentary. Depression-era escapism - One Hundred Men and a Girl. Comedy - It Started with Eve. Goin' West musical - Can't Help Singing. Screwball comedy with an operatic duet - Something in the Wind.
The quickest way to understand why Alan Moore is so grumpy is to watch an adaptation of one of his books, think it’s brilliant, then go read the actual book.
I kinda grew up reading Modesty Blaise! My parents had about all of the comics and I got into them as well. They're kinda campy but still much more sophisticated than this movie. I mean, that opening theme song is just dreadful!
Have you guys seen 2019 Indy film Color Out Of Space staring real life crazy person Nicolas Cage? It’s based on a short story by H.P. Lovecraft and it’s about a space entity that lands in this family yard and makes them slowly go crazy. It’s a great movie if your into the horror of H.P. Lovecraft
Joseph Losey was a great director and not totally humorless, but not someone you would associate with lighthearted capers. Same with Harold Pinter and Dirk Bogarde. Monica V. seems "heavy" for this kind of role, or maybe she's just struggling with English. If only Quentin Tarantino had made it -- MB obviously inspired some of his films. Maybe he'll make a Modesty film, someday. Terence Stamp is beautiful.
@@craigjohnson6423 I did the play. I played McCann. It was in college. The cast was a student directed production. The director got all sophomores. All of us had been studying for a year together. THE Director was a juniot.He said he was so happy to get a sophomore cast. We flicking killed it. We all trusted each other, and it was a great production. One of my favorites to work on
This is the same impression I've got from the comic every time I've tried to read it. Way too many characters in scene after scene planning an incomprehensible plot involving people and/or objects you don't really care about.
My favorite Simpsons quote, "Alcohol, cause of and solution to all life's problems." It fits perfectly for Beer & Board Games.
“Stupid sexy Flanders.” is mine.
13:12 that dude in the yellow boat was NOT ready to hit the shore.
My favourite Simpsons quote of all time comes from Ralph Wiggums: "Me fail English, that's unpossible!" Still puts a smile on my face.
"I for one welcome our new insect overlords" gets the most play around me. But when I see the tram pass by my house I can't help but chant "Monorail!"
Terrance Stamp Threatens the Ocean. An instant classic. Lmao
I genuinely laughed out loud at that
One of the quotes that i use is from Kent Brockman: "Strong words from a strange man!"
Little girl... LIKES her brain. What's... your opinion?
I think my favorite Simpsons quote comes from Mr. Burns:
Homer: You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny.
Mr. Burns: Oh, yes. But I'd trade it all for a little more.

Simpsons quotes I always think of: "grease me up, woman!.. Okey dokey"
And: "Ohhhhh, a gyyyymmm"
Anytime there is anything even remotely related to protective equipment, you know the Simpsons quote comes out... "The goggles do nothing!"
I thought that was an Indiana Jones quote?
“That’s a problem for Future Homer, man I don’t envy THAT guy!!!” and “Ooh, they have the internet on computers now!!!” plus “a wizard did it” are my go-to’s most days
I watched this movie yesterday and it was a mixed bag. Just hearing Monica Vitti speak English was totally worth it.
I've never heard Matt so unequivocal about his hatred for a film.
He seems to consistently hate films that I happen to really like. I'm not sure what that says about my taste in movies.
@@linkfan160 Says you like different movies than him. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
The Simpsons quote I always want (and fail) to deploy in everyday conversation is from the Mr Sparkle episode. "There's your answer, Fishbulb." There are so many opportunities to say "there's your answer" to someone, but if I could only remember to add "Fishbulb" to that, it would really sort out the wheat from the chaff.
Craig checking on his baby is more endearing and entertaining than anything in the movie.
Tbh I probably use more Simpsons quotes in daily life than I'm aware of, but the one that springs to mind has to be "Everything's coming up Milhouse!" whenever something goes right. So rarely.
The "Oh, my life!" line was brilliant! :D

Hey! You used my comment. Thank you guys so much for the show, it's the best!
“...let’s go to the place where they have the constant deafening calliope music.”
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
My favorite quote "Sax-a-mo-phone"
My favorite Simpson's quote "Flanders You Suck Diddley Uck"

The Simpsons is credited for the invention of the word "Meh."
Sounds perfectly cromulent to me!

More like "Modesty Blechs"! (That joke brought to you, probably, by MAD magazine)
I would say that Michael Crichton's Sphere is among my favorite book-to-film adaptations that holds incredibly close to the original work. It came at a time before i really tracked actors in their roles and it is still an enjoyable experience even now later in life

The only thing that keeps me happy in this lockdown is this show lol
When ever I drink something tasty I'll use the quote. "Whoa, that's a good squishy". Thought of another one that I've used for so long I forgot it was from the Simpsons. Thanks to Moe, I call the garage "the car hole"
I feel this movie inspired Hudson Hawk, what with its strange comedic villains, singing, and country hopping heists.
4:07 "London? That looks more like Amsterdam to me!" "Quiet! Americans won't know the difference!"
4:11 You can see a sign that's even in Dutch lol: 'Wees fris en vrolijk'

Anybody else have the Gorillaz stuck in their head after this episode? I don’t know about you but I’m just about ready to Rock the House.
I was literally going to ask if the sountrack was sampled by Gorillaz. I knew I had heard it somewhere.
I didn't know I needed to hear Matt imitate Dutch in my life, but here we are

So Harold Pinter was actually known for prolonged pauses in his plays. So much so that they were referred to as "Pinter Pauses".
Beats, Pauses and Silences, if I recall. And there is a difference between the three. Thanks for the reminder.
one of these days i hope in the top secret envelope will be 1984. movie Top Secret! xD it always comes to my mind when i see that damn envelope...
My regular Simpsons quote is from the same episode, and its also a Jasper quote. When they run to him after realizing Smithers shot him, and his response is "you shot who with the what now?" Thats my response pretty much anytime I don't hear someone the first time
"I hated it because it was" is how I feel about My Dinner with Andre
Terrance Stamp is a shoe-in for Welcome to the Basement hall of fame.
Seen it: "The Blind Menace" (60). 2 years before the Zatoichi series, Shintaro Katsu stars as an evil blind masseuse. An interesting supplement after completiing the series.
9:09 suddenly Philip Glass has taken over the soundtrack
"This movie should've been 40 minutes shorter. But there's just so many pointless and long scenes and talking scenes and they talk so slowly. Everyone has a different accent from different countries that don't exist."

Aw Craig shaved his moustache, I was hoping he would have a full Lemmy style drop handlebar-sideburns combo by the time the quarantine is over.
Who would win in a fight, Lemmy, or God?
Trevin Taylor trick question, Lemmy is God!
Liam Winfield He’s a cop!
Is Craig just watching the TV screen in the basement? Or does he have his own copy of the movie playing?
"I'm seeing double -- _FOUR KRUSTIES!!"_
You guys should check out Buster's Mal Heart it's a good movie
I’m pretty sure Craig just went through a wormhole and that’s actually Lorenzo on the camera
The quickest way to understand why Alan Moore is so grumpy is to watch an adaptation of one of his books, think it’s brilliant, then go read the actual book.
Shades of The Prisoner crossed with Barbarella.
Shades of LSD crossed with coke.
now we are knights templar
Hello, just wondering if anyone has any Drive in Classics as a suggestion to watch
Modesty & Man is definitely a title for something.
1670 views and only 169 likes?! C'mon guys, you watch the video, you give it a like.
This show is getting to be a habit with me
By the way - this is the new face of Welcome to the Basement! (Think how much more GREEN it is!)
Matt: the SMRT one.
When a joke I make doesn't hit people like I want it to, I often find myself saying "Nobody's gay for Moleman" in a sad voice
I'll keep asking, for animation month and sci-fi month; Mobile Suit Gundam: The Movie. Seen it?
5:53 gorillaz sampled that horn section for rock the house!
This movie is Star Wars before it was cut down
Have you guys seen any of Steven Segals terribly lazy recent films like sniper special ops or Beverly hills ninja 2?
4:08 London looks a lot like Amsterdam
It was Amsterdam and set there and stated in the movie. Our host on the laptop is incorrect.
Yay, Craig's mustache is dead!
Also, there's opportunity for a "Modesty Mouse" joke in here somewhere~
If I recall, there was...but not all jokes make it through editing.
@@craigjohnson6423 Ayy, thanks for the reply Craig!
I'm not sure what I expected from this movie, but it wasn't Christopher Nolan's Zabriskie Point.
I kinda grew up reading Modesty Blaise! My parents had about all of the comics and I got into them as well. They're kinda campy but still much more sophisticated than this movie. I mean, that opening theme song is just dreadful!
Harold Pinter, the Nobel Prize winner, wrote the screenplay...
But like...what was the point of the robot bird?
Read it: Finnegan's Wake?

Read the Birthday part by Harold pinter
I remember nothing from that play except for the greatest line of all time: "He's sweating. The bastard sweat-pig is sweating."

Reboot starring Margot Robbie and directed by Quentin Tarantino, anyone?
Gal Gadot and I'm in.
RIP Craig's mustache.
Gentleman, to evil. I'll have to start using that.
Hopefully we don't get to the point where quarantine lasts long enough for laptop Craig to make it into the 1:00 intro.
15:08 Apparently, Italy is not a real country.
Ohh! Piece of candy. And also by homer. Stupid ( insert noun here).
I half-suspect that this movie was just an excuse by the cast to take a paid vacation and wear neat outfits.
wow Gorillaz just straight up stole the riff from rock the house from this
Wait... Craig has another bebe??
Tried to watch this movie before because I'd read the comics, but soon started to fast forward and never stopped. TERRIBLE!
This is the same impression I've got from the comic every time I've tried to read it. Way too many characters in scene after scene planning an incomprehensible plot involving people and/or objects you don't really care about.
No way that guy has my last name. Tahir
I had tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time...
HELLO
I AM FRIENDBIRD
BANG
You should cinema immersion tank this
All I hear is the Gorillaz
meh film, brilliant soundtrack.
