Just watched History of the World Part One. Fucking hilarious movie. Every other line is a great quote. Any favorites out there?

The job that was a very light hold as grip/electric/camera assistant for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday as of last week turned into gaffer/photographer at the last minute ( Read more... )
