I’m glad you posted this. I’ve been reading about all the onions and how this movie ends ad nauseam on this board for years.

There’s pretty much a whole separate thread on this line and it’s still not enough. It’s just so bad it kills the moment for me. Takes me out of the movie. In the other thread it was said this is a northeast phrasing so I guess a lot of people aren’t bothered by it.

How about an entire exchange? I’m just going to go ahead and leave this gem from Rob zombies Halloween here :

https://youtu.be/2kZUcjdEReI?si=2_zqJUbqTTGX8jpF

Deborah Myers : Jesus Christ, Ronnie, you know I have to fricking work tonight. Somebody around here has gotta make some money.
Ronnie White : I'm all broken up here, bitch. I can't work.
Deborah Myers : Yeah, and whose fault is that?
Ronnie White : frick you.
Deborah Myers : My God, you're pathetic.
Ronnie White : You know that new waitress over at the Bingo Lounge? She's been giving me the freaky eye.
Deborah Myers : Oh, the whore the big tits hanging down her knees?
Ronnie White : Maybe I'll choke the chicken, purge my snork all over those flappy arse tits.
Deborah Myers : Good. Well, have a good fricking time!
Ronnie White : I will.
Deborah Myers : I hope she likes cripples.
Ronnie White : Bitch, I will crawl over there and I will skull frick the shite out of you!
Deborah Myers : Oh, I'll get the crutches for you!
[Baby Boo starts crying]
Deborah Myers : See what you did, fricking loud mouth?
Ronnie White : Waah! Waah! That's all that fricker does is cry. Waah! Waah! Cry and shite, cry and shite. Waah!
Deborah Myers : Just like you; that's all you do is cry and shite.
Ronnie White : Oh, frick you. Sit on my pole right now, bitch.

Never seen the movie, but that reads like some realistic conversation from your average trashy family situation.

Great movie. And that was supposed to be bad and delivered poorly. He’s making fun of Jamal and “how you talk out there.”

Rob uses this phrasing in Always Sunny whenever he fantasizes about meeting Chase Utley.

Nearly anything in Star Wars, all episodes (but some of the newer ones are much worse than others)


I was about to comment this. People love star wars for many other reasons but the dialogue has always felt hollow and robotic. There isn't any nuance or hinting, they just flat out say everything.

pretty sure this is a troll but if anyone thinks this is bad dialogue you simply don't understand the movie or conflict resolution. this is the quintessential moment of a movie that helped define the greatest pop culture decade ever, a coming of age story set during the transition of a nation from its previous greatest decade into a turbulent new age.


I'll take Overthinking Brain Dead Writing for $500, Alex. Dirty Dancing is a garbage film lifted up by Gen X teenagers out of nostalgia more than legitimate fandom.

I agree with this.

However, there are two dialogue exchanges that are truly iconic: "I love you." "I know." In ESB, with the callback in RotJ.

there is some clunky dialogue in the original trilogy, for sure, but some of it is pretty good - i like most of Vader's "coaching" Luke during their duel at the end of ESB. most of the scenes with Han are pretty good as well, in general. Mark Hamill, on the other hand, is very mediocre throughout the series. but not sure really any of it makes it into a "worst of" list.

now, everything post 1983 is another story.

I’m sure you know, but the “I know” was improvised by Harrison Ford. Apparently the line was “I love you too” but it wasn’t working during the takes.

Also, Carrie Fisher is on record from even the earliest of interviews being critical of the dialogue that George Lucas wrote. She said she read the original script and told him, “George, no one talks like this.”
