I like this dialogue they have in the fridge in the Movie Go, I can't quote in detail what they say but I like it that after they were try to figure out a famous guy whose name starts with an X. The stoned one (sorry his name doesn't come to my memory) sees this cat in the dealer's appart and the cat is telling him what he wanted and then ends it with "you're gonna die" I liked those.
Other than that I absolutelly loved that dialogue over life and death Ricky and Jane had in American Beauty.

Humm Dogma? it's in that movie where the silent guy says, he didn't pay the tickets? (sorry only saw that one once! :() if so, that sentence was cool!

You mean, "No ticket!"? I guess it was cool...when it was first said in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".

actually, satanism doesnt really have anything to do with worshipping the devil. "satan" in this case is more of a symbol, about mans pursuit of pleasure, and that its this constant pursuit of pleasure that seperates us from the animals (ie: animals will eat because they have to. we humans eat because we have to, but also just for the sake of eating because we like the food. we also get to (somewhat) choose what we want and dont want to eat). unfortunately what i dont get is why satanists have to do everything in excess. for example, they dont have to do drugs, but if one would, one would have to use them in excess.

Awesome :roll: ... it said "brilliance in dialogue", and very clearly stated not "hip" dialogue. Trying to be cool dialogue (which I like most of the time) is a too-cute kinda writing to fit in this category. So Kevin Smith does not belong here. As I said, Tarantino dialogue and the Swingers stuff and Smith, they're a different beast.

We're talking Brilliance here. Like the scene between the two detectives and Fink in Barton Fink.

Damn it....
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

The funny thing about great dialogue is that the only people intelligent enough to speak that way are the people who write it. Most people are nimrods and couldn't shape their thoughts so eloquently. It's sometimes difficult to accept idiot characters speaking witty dialogue.

Agreed.


But good "dumb" dialogue is wonderful as well.
