I was thinking about this line from Vanilla Sky last night, and I realised how spectacularly untrue it is.

For example: What is the capital of Kazakhstan? Money.
                   What is the square root of 12? Money.
                   What is the third stage of Karma? Money

It just doesn't work, does it?

Maybe "what's the reason behind 99 out of 100 actions" would be more accurate.

Oh well.

A rare cock-up from Cameron Crowe.

Okay, but let me turn this thread into something else

Is Cameron Crowe the most quoted writer (as in he writes the lines which are oft quoted) in the past 10 years?

Maybe that was intentional to make his characters try to sound intelligent but really aren't? Hmmmm?  I good you bid evening.

Was the line in Abre Los Ojos? If yes, then it was Alejandro Amenabar's fault!

its not on Abre los Ojos , the topic of David/Cesar's employment is hardly talked about in Abre los Ojos...

I dont think Crowe is quoted that often. I mean, aside from "show me the money" and "you had me at hello" there arent really many catch phrases in his movies, or at least one that have caught on...

Tarantino has him by far on that matter...

I've honestly heard a lot more Crowe than Tarantino quotes

meanwhile, tremolosloth u must live near the "Pat & Kenny Read Cameron Crowe Movie Transcripts" Theater. there's no way crowe has more than tarantino, in reality anyway.

it doesn't matter tho cos The Simpsons is unquestionably the most quoted thing since the bible.

I like how they change daily.

or even better:

Mel Gibson: I don't have much time, Homer.  Will you come to Hollywood with me?
Homer: You had me at "hello".
Mel Gibson: I didn't say "hello".
