You forgot to mention the round robin phone messages those not in attendance (usually me) are subjected to.

I will say that my own personal proudest(?) moment was my racially controversial, "You'll just be hungry again in a hour!" line when one of the zombies is about to eat an Asian child in Night of the Comet.

Too scared to watch Predator, you buncha slack-jawed faggots?

Big Trouble in Little China and Buckaroo Banzai is a fun double-feature. After that I pass out.

Ben, I totally blanked on some of the other classic lines so I only listed the one from Todd. But that was a KILLER. Another good one: Rickey on the old farmer discovering Swayze's sweet ride in Road House: "This boy's from the future!" And yes, I forgot to mention the phone-bombing. Dammit! Actually, haven't we not done that at the past couple? You would know...

Jim, we've actually discussed including Predator at length, especially early on, but the thinking was we've all got the movie memorized already and it might be less fun. But since then we've gotten more comfortable with doing movies we've all already seen a million times, and plus it's a rad flick, so it's a likely candidate for the next one (esp. since that should go down around Halloween and it's a good time for monsters and gore). Also, passing out is the best part.

I have not been phone bombed since the last Goshen MMM when I threatened that Justin that I would call the Goshen PD and get the party shut down if I was bombed.

And in an ironic twist, it was actually me who invented the Phone Bomb during MMM3 with, I believe, Jesse Thompson as the original target.

My personal favorite MMM still has to be the original one with the Road House/Road Warrior/The Warriors viewing. I can't remember the exactly line, but someone (probably Jesse or Zach) yelled something out in the scene from Road House when Swayze walks out and sees the stop sign through his windshield.

Can anyone remember the line?

I resent the implication that NOT watching a movie about well-oiled, half-naked men running through the jungle somehow makes us gay, while watching a movie about "Pretty Lips" Peter Weller and his band of singer-surgeon Duran Duran rejects is totally okay.

I mean, I love "Buckaroo Banzai," but manly? Very few movies based on books are manly. "Running Man" and "Starship Troopers" don't count, because they threw their source material out the window. And I'm still not sure if we should have even watched "Nightbreed."

nd I'm still not sure if we should have even watched "Nightbreed."

Considering that that whole movie is a metaphor for being gay, moving out of your podunk hometown, and letting your freak flag fly in the West Village, I'd say the answer is a big YES!

NIGHT-BREED! NIGHT-BREED! NIGHT-BREED! [To the tune of the MMM Nightbreed themesong.]

I don't know if the line was mine, but the stop sign wasn't through the windshield, it was hanging out the passenger-side window, and it looked like it had been driving. Someone said something like, "Dammit, stop sign -- that's the LAST time you borrow my car!" And the sign was all drunk, like, "Shorry, Dalton!" It was funny at the time, but not as funny as "This boy's from the future!"

Did we really watch that movie twice? Did any good lines come out of the second viewing?

No CONAN. Or CONAN THE DESTOYER?

You're dead to me, man.

WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?

If I recall correctly, the stop sign was Rickey as well. He was on fire that night!

As for other memorable lines, my memory is awful, so MMM jokes are always ephemeral for me. At best I can remember some of my own jokes from the past one or two. I seem to recall referring to Crank as the heterosexual equivalent of Moulin Rouge, which I only remember because it's so very apt.

For my money, the absolute height of MMM hilarity so far was King Kong Lives.

Man, we must have watched King Kong smash his face into that rock 20 times.

And it is strange that we haven't done "Conan," although I suspect that "Conan the Destroyer" might be more fun to watch. Maybe the next one just needs to be an Arnold night? We've been deficient. Predator, Conan and... Red Heat? Commando? Terminator 1 or 3? Last Action Hero?

I've long advocated for Conan, under several possible rubrics:

1) Sword and Sorcery (or Sword and Sandals)
Besides Conan and/or Conan the Destroyer, this could include 300 (sorry, Alejandro, you blew your veto on that one when you skipped out on MMM12), Willow, Excalibur, Beastmaster, Gladiator, Braveheart, Krull, Red Sonja, Clash of the Titans...

2) Schwarzenegger Night
This could include Commando (though there was some hesitation because it was part of the proto-MMM that they threw in Justin's honor when he revealed he hadn't seen it), Predator, Red Heat, Raw Deal...

3) Planet Hollywood
Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis. Conan, Cobra, Die Hard. BLAM!

This all looks about perfect to me, although I'm baffled by the choice of Steel Dawn over the greatest film of all time, Next of Kin.

There was some debate over that, but since we were doing a sort of "greatest hits" tribute to the MMM's ailing patron saint by re-watching Road House and Point Break, Steel Dawn's callback to our Dystopian Future roots (The Warriors (sorta), The Road Warrior, The Running Man, Escape from New York) gave it the edge.

How the heck have you dudes watched point break twice now and I managed to miss both showings??

Man I miss that ravioli pizza.

I actually just looked down and realized that I'm wearing my T-shirt from the first MMM and the date reads November 11, 2005. Holy crap, we've been doing this for a long time. That was a little under a month after I moved to NY and started at the Wiz.

I vaguely remember a great line and I'm trying not to sound arrogant because I said it. But it was during the first viewing of Point Break (MMM8) where Utah finished sleeping with his androgynous young looking "girlfriend" and I said something like, "Honey, did you tape Duck Tales for me?" The line got me a free copy of Tango & Cash as a prize!

It saddens me to realize how many MMM's I've missed (I only stuck around NY long enough for the inaugural one, after all), but I have very fond memories of us laughing our asses off at the very end of "Road House," when we realized Dalton's crazy old man landlord ("Sunshine" Parker!) was watching him swim naked. From a lawnchair right next to the lake, no less.
The first time you guys phone-bombed me in TN was one of the most surreal joyous/painful experiences I've ever had. Tears were shed, bitches!

Man, I miss Manly Movie Nights, so much so that I may have to start the tradition out here on the West Coast! But alas, it won't be the same, not without Todd, Rickey, Zach or anyone else spewing those hilarious one-liners at the TV screen. Those were some treasured moments, fellas.

And yeah, I miss that ravioli pizza, too. If I only I knew how to make it, I'd make a killing out here in LA.

Sean, thanks for this trip to the past. And Rob, thanks for tweeting the link!

Dammit, Sean, now I'm all riled up for the next MMM!

Mission accomplished!

Can we get one in before Halloween? A horror-ish one? I'm thinking The Lost Boys/They Live/Predator?

This is awesome beyond belief. The T-shirts are a nice touch. Almost makes my upcoming SACK FEST '08, a two-day tribute to all things John Cusack on three screens indoors and out, seem lacking. ALMOST.

I mean, I love "Buckaroo Banzai," but manly?

I guess I'm just not intimidated by males who are smarter and better looking than me. I've learned to get over it, since all of them are.

Those MMM titles are a trip.

"Sack Fest" was actually an early, rejected name for the MMM.
