How many of you have a connection with a movie that is the same as friends and co-workers, so much so that you can communicate, meaningfully, in movie quotes?
I worked with a guy who lived and died by Cool Hand Luke quotes. I think I may have gotten a promotion by replying to a numerical question with "it just seemed like a good round number".
More recently, a group of us took a hankering to "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". The big Chinese buffet at the end of what used to be Loehmann's Village in Hoover (it's the only part still standing) was our big slop the hogs buffet place. They had grilled chicken strips on a wooden skewer that were grilled and misshapen and a little burnt sometimes, but tasty. They looked just like the gopher family grilled by the guys. Our clarion lunch cry became simply, "gopher?"
My boys are fluent in anchorman, but bilingual for their old man in Forrest Gump.
RTR,

). It's our favorite to this day still, the movie, not the practice wife.
