"You came to me for answers. It's not my problem if they're not the ones you want."

"I can tell everything about a man by looking at his wallet."

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) dir. by Brian Yuzna

What happens when you take the greatest choreographer the world has ever seen and put him with the second greatest choreographer the world has ever seen? And then you give them sticks.

You get this fight scene.

I can narrow down a number of favourite weapon fights when it comes to kung fu cinema and this would definitely be in my top five. Maybe even top three. And best of all? It’s not even an old school fight. It’s a fast, modern fight that just so happens to be with old school poles. Lau Kar Leung was 55 years old in this scene. That’s only 9 years younger than Jackie Chan is now. He never got enough credit for doing bananas shit while being an old man. Unbelievable fight. And the crazy thing is that there’s a good two minutes of empty handed fighting before this bit.

Anyone wondering what film it is, it’s Pedicab Driver. Do yourself a favour and pick up the DVD here. It’s the only remastered version of this film out there and while it has terrible subtitles, if more people buy it, Warner might actually dig in their vaults and release the other classics they have stored away.

Genius Sentences

(Sentences for genius muses and those talking to them. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"Where the hell are you going with your mind?"

"They say I'm the smartest man in the world, but the truth is I've often felt stupid at being unable to relate to anyone."

"You're far too clever for your own good."

"I can't tell you how relieved I am to know you're just as brilliant now as you ever were."

"Why are you asking this if you know it all anyway?"

"Maybe there are one or two things that I know that you don't."

"You hide behind your intelligence."

"Don't be smart. I'm the smart one."

"If you seem slow to me, can you imagine what real people are like?"

"Look, I know there's a thin line between genius and madness, but do we have to show everyone which side we're on?"

"Oh, you're really not as smart as I thought you were. I guess I gave you too much credit."

"For a genius, you can be remarkably thick."

"As you think you're so clever, perhaps you'd like to suggest your own answer to that question?"

"Your problem is that you think you're smarter than everyone else."

"You prove how clever you are on your own patch. This is mine."

"Genius doesn't mean you can treat people any way you want! It means shutting up and doing good work!"

"I'm living in a world of goldfish."

"They say you're a genius. Are you?"

"How can someone so smart be so stupid?"

"I suppose you think you're very clever."

"People tell me I'm not great when it comes to talking to people. You have no idea what it's like being smarter than everyone you know!"

"I won't insult your intelligence by explaining it to you."

"Everyone's so stupid. Even you."

"It is no easy thing for a great mind to contemplate a still greater one."

"You have what I would call forensic intuition developed to the point of genius."

"How hard do you find it, having to say 'I don't know'?"

"I'm smarter than everyone I meet. I know it's bad form to say that, but, in my case, it's a fact."

"No one ever talks about how exhausting it is to be right all the time."

"You're quite smart sometimes, aren't you?"

"You're a smart man. You could be anywhere doing anything. Why do you do this?"

"People don't like it when you're smart and you do things they don't understand."

"I can see the cogs whirring in your mind. How would it be to try an answer without calculation?"

"Sometimes genius is just hard work."

"What's the point in being clever if you can't prove it?"

Sex is cringe. "Hey do you wanna come over and play boners together?" What naked bullshit. They have played us for fools.
