i honestly don't think a movie has impacted the way my family speaks more than "O Brother Where Art Thou."
Bob always liked to ask the cats, "is you is or is you ain't my constituency?"
if anything goes missing, it "R-U-N-N-O-F-T."
an of course:
oh, see at chez ninja-bitch "dapper dan man" is for when you can't find your fave brand, bonus if it's a personal care product. usually soap here.
we also have a lot of affection for "we thought you was a toad" and very little occasion to use it. EXCEPT, in spring and summer when frogs and toads mate in our yard. and even then, it's a sort of meta-joke where we talk about Pete out there trying to get laid.
I regularly use "well ain't this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere!" when facing literally any kind of delay
yes good
You absolute queen, my family LOVES this movie and NOBODY else I’ve met knows about it! Literally last week I went on a ten minute monologue to convince my kids’ piano teacher to go watch it. Anytime we have to leave with expedience we tell each other it’s time to r-u-n-n-o-f-t. When we see cows on the road we are compelled to announce to each other “oh George, not the livestock”. I have sung pretty much every song off the album as a lullaby for my children. It is one of the defining movies of my childhood. That and The Three Amigos. Literally such a gem of a movie I could gush FOREVER
no, but listen. it isn't even really "loosely" based on the Odyssey. it is a pitch-perfect retelling for the time period in which it's set. right down to everett grooming his hair with pomade (odysseus has several plot relevant instances of washing/being annointed with olive oil).
and the soundtrack SLAPS.
