Things Sanders Sides Characters Absolutely Have Said

Remus, with a headache: Advil me up, daddy.

Logan: I will short out the language centre of your brain if you say anything like that ever again.

Logan: Janus, this morning, I called you abhorrent and reprehensible, and I’d like to withdraw that statement-

Janus: Aww, thanks-

Logan: But I can't. Those are the 2 words that best describe you.

Roman: Enough! How dare you mock me in such a manner!?

Janus: Well. How would you like me to mock you? I take requests.

Logan: How long do you think it'll take?

Virgil: I don’t know, three or four.

Logan: Three or four what? Days? Weeks? Months?

Virgil: Yeah, maybe five.

Logan: Five what?!

Virgil: So are you gonna explain how the hell you crashed my car?

Logan: Well we were driving and there was a deer in the road, so I said "Patton, deer!"

Virgil: ...And what did Patton do?

Logan: ...He said "Yes, Honey?"

Roman: There's no way he cares about any of us.

Thomas: Remus would throw himself in front of a moving car for us!

Roman: Remus would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.

Patton: Where the devil is Janus?

Virgil: Well, it is raining outside... Maybe he melted?

Roman: Shall I look outside for a pointy hat?

Patton: That's it, you're grounded! Roman, no adventures for you! Logan, no debating for you! Janus, no stealing for you! And Virgil... oh my god, is there anything that you love?

Virgil: Revenge.

Patton: No vengeance for you.

Virgil: I was going to say "I'll get you for this," but I guess that's off the table.

Incorrect Quotes/Story Starters: Rythian and the Boys play Monaco

youtube

This video is wonderful. A while back, I pulled some particularly quotable quotes from it. Feel free to use these as incorrect quotes or story starters!

“So you’re, like, the dumb brute, sorta.”

“I clean up!”

“So you’re basically a janitor, is what you are.”

“Do you have a monkey.on your back, literally?”

“No, he’s in a bag on my back.”

“No, talk your ass off, man, just go for it.”

“Are we in Monaco then?”

“This guy was a transfer from Texas, so that’s why he’s sounding like that.”

“I love how you still have your monkey with you.”

“Why do we need to lockpick that bush?”

“He’s actually French, oh fuck!”

“Worst prison break ever.”

“We need passports.”

“Money.”

“Friends.”

“I need a cheeseburger.”

“How do I shoot?”

“Let’s not, I recommend not shooting.”

The Departed - Noah

“Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself”

Perhaps the type of attitude that we should all employ in our daily lives. There is an unbelievable amount of content to try to get through in this movie but damnit I’m going to do it because “I’m the guy that does his job”

Directing

Martin Scorsese may very well be the best director there is right now (perhaps ever). For me, it’s probably him and Tarrantino at the moment who are at the top of the list. The fact that Scorsese has a legit argument for 3-4 of the top 10 movies of all time spanning across 5 decades is pretty remarkable.

Is this his best movie?

Maybe the toughest question you could ask someone. I would argue that it is probably his 2nd best, because it is too difficult to put this ahead of Goodfellas. I don’t know that you can go wrong choosing either one because, well If you know anything about movies than you know what I’m talking about. Both are all time greats and neither answer is incorrect.

Casting

His choice of casting in this movie may seem like a stupid thing to compliment him for because it may seem like he just called up all the best actors he could find that would do it and then placed them in the according roles. The fact of the matter is, for each character I can’t think of anyone else playing their role. Which means probably a combination of damn good acting but also damn good casting.

Looking back on the movie now, and seeing possibly the two biggest movie stars of the 21st century (Pitt and Damon) pit against each other in a blockbuster movie in the beginning of the century seems absolutely genius. But, I’m here to tell you that it was the choice of all the other actors that made this movie the all-time great that it became.

Acting

I’d like to open with what may seem like a bold statement to some, but in actuality is 100% a fact. The 3 old guys out acted the 3 young guys and it’s not even close.

Leonardo Dicaprio

Some people forget that this movie is still a part of Leo’s crasging onto the scenes. You could argue thatb it was this movie that cemented his place as one of the true Hollywood stars that would be a player in the film industry for years and years to come.

However, I like to bring up this movie when I defend the argument that Leo is not one of the all-time great actors. He has a habit of finding himself in movies with great directors, where he gets out acted by at least one, if not more than one, of his co-stars. This movie is no exception to that. Leo does a good job of playing a scared shitless undercover cop for most of the movie, but there are certain points where I just get the feeling that he doesn’t belong. Where everyone else in the movie seems like local Bostonians hardened by their environment, Leo does not. I just don’t buy the fact that this is a guy who is half Boston thug and half “lace-curtain fucker” to quote Wahlberg. There is no element of a hard core background or any elevated level of toughness that would have been passed down from his father’s side. Maybe that’s the way he wanted to play it, but I would have loved to see it go the other way. But once again, he is completely overshadowed by all 5 of his costars time and time again.

Matt Damon

Much like Leo, this movie was at the end of the beginning for Matt. He had already done Good Will Hunting, Oceans 11 and started The Bourne trilogy, but once again I would argue that it was this movie that cemented his place as it did Leo’s.

This is the kind of role that we don’t often get to see Matt Damon play but I would love to see more often. The scumbag, morally corrupt, ass hole role really suits him in my opinion. We get to see a little bit of it in Interstellar, but other than that he often plays the crowd favorite. Much different from Leo’s performance, I fully believe Damon in his role and background. Some of that may be able to be attributed to the fact that he is Boston born and raised, but he still makes me believe every aspect about his character throughout the movie. However, as much as I am a fan of his, his performance fails in comparison to the other four on this list.

Martin Sheen

One of those actors that I really wished was in more stuff because quite simply put, he just delivers. Time and time again he is great in whatever role he is cast in. His role for this movie may not have been the most fun to portray, but necessary none the less. He is fully believable scene after scene as a straight shooting, Catholic good guy from Boston with high morals. There is not much more to say about his performance other than the fact that the pairing of him and Mark as a team is an absolutely perfect contrasting duo.

Mark Wahlberg

Talk about a character that just delivers quotable quote after quotable quote. For a guy who was still trying to come on to the scene as household name actor, this performance was an absolute home run. It’s a crime that he didn’t have more screen time because I could have watched 6 hours of him telling people to fuck off. The energy he has in every scene is unmatched in this movie by everyone except maybe Alec Baldwin. For me, this is definitely one of the 5 movie roles (The Fighter, Invincible, Four Brothers, Lone Survivor) that I can point to for Mark Wahlberg and say that, “yeah that guy is a damn good actor”.

Alec Baldwin

“Patriot act! Patriot Act!” I’m convinced that nobody else could have played this role. He is electric in each and every scene he is in and truly plays off the other actors perfectly. His acting when it’s him and Damon is different from when its him and Wahlberg is different from when it’s him in a larger crowd of people. Perhaps my favorite short clip from this movie would be where he attacks the Tech guy that was responsible for having the cameras installed in the warehouse. His acting throughout that entire scene really wakes the audience up and gets them ready for the last 30 minutes.

Jack Nicholson

Widely considered one of the best actors of all time and deservedly so. He’s produced some of the most memorable characters in cinema history and this movie is no exception. The fact that he was able to take Whitey Bulger and then implement some Jack Nicholson in order to produce Frank Costello is pretty remarkable. His entire performance could be summed up in his attempt to resemble a rat. In fact all of his facial expressions and hand gestures are what truly make this performance. The next time you watch this movie, I implore you to focus on his facial expressions and body movements in all of his scenes.

Quotes and Scenes

Other than the ones I have already mentioned. Here are a few more of my favorites. The reason why I love some of these quotes are more situation based. So please go back and watch the movie and watch the scenes with these quotes.

“What are you delivering cannolis or something?” – Leo to the two Italians from Providence

“Situations like these, back in the day. I would have killed everybody. Everybody that worked for me.” – said by Jack definitively while nodding his head in a calm assuring manner

The whole scene with Jack and the Chinese.

I Know Because I Was There

One of my not really resolutions is to write more. I miss it and I’ve been thinking a lot about my college days recently (tbh I’ll probably write about that! I am very very navel-gaze-y in my writing because my default is the essay, I’ve never been great with writing fiction nor have I liked it, but anyway), and I wrote much more in college. So expect to see more of these.

I know because I was there

I first watched Clue in college.

I first played Clue in oh, must have been elementary school, because I remember we were in the sunken living room (the house had been constructed in the 70s. There was still red shag carpet in the den). But maybe I’m making it up - I remember the friends we were playing with so maybe we were at their house as we were so many sunny Saturday afternoons. It was a long time ago. But I’m pretty sure it was the living room, with its goldenrod carpet. I once hid a slice of American cheese in the corner and forgot about it because it blended in and came back to find it all hard. That was probably before we played Clue but I couldn’t tell you for certain.

No one solved Clue because someone accidentally mixed up the cards and so there were two weapons and no culprit. People don’t kill Mr. Boddy. A wrench and a rope do.

In third grade there was a Clue-themed mystery book you could read, like Encyclopedia Brown but a little … my instinct is to say ‘sexier’ and I don’t mean that in the sense of there being anything remotely sexual about it, but Encyclopedia Brown was in small town idyllic America and dealt primarily with obnoxious preteens who wore weird crown-like hats to signify they were the bad kids and committed misdemeanors. Clue was at a dinner party in a mansion. There was murder involved. Come on.

(I looked up those hats just now and while Encyclopedia Brown was written in the early 60s, those hats hadn’t been popular for years. The author took a memory of his childhood and superimposed it on the current world.)

I first watched Clue in college. I was in a co-ed program house in college which meant there was a sense of camaraderie among students of different ages, but also this kind of institutional memory that led upperclassmen to forget that younger students didn’t know members who’d graduated a year or two ago. Sometimes around finals we’d have informal movie nights. There was one guy who’d graduated before my time who (allegedly) knew most of Clue by heart and would scream along with Madeline Kahn’s famous line at the end (flames….flames...on the sides of my face) which in retrospect is funny because her delivery is...flawless but not screaming, not at all. It’s as if she’s so furious but calm about it that her mind is shutting down as she tries to convey the enormity of her vast feelings of betrayal.

It may not sound like it from the last line but Clue is a cult comedy.

Clue is a cult comedy and a goofy one at that. Once this past summer as I was walking home along a busy Manhattan street I swear I heard someone blasting Sh Boom Sh Boom and I burst out laughing there, in front of a barber shop, across from the indie coffee shop I like but don’t love as much as the other indie coffee shop.

(I just looked up to confirm that yes, the street I walk on with some regularity does feature those two businesses in that configuration).

Clue is a lot of things - a murder mystery, a cult comedy, social satire, a film adaptation of a board game, and a Tim Curry vehicle.

When Clue was shown in the theaters - you probably know this if you’ve read this much about Clue - only one of the three endings was shown. So people would go and presumably say “Oh my god, and how it ended!” to their friends who’d seen it separately, and then they’d say “yeah, can you believe it was ______?” and the friends would say “What? No! That’s not how it ended at all!”

I first saw Clue on DVD where they give us all three endings, which is good because you get to experience and get all the jokes.

Clue is very quotable but I take my title from one of my favorites. It’s from the scene that leads up to this triple-denouement, with Tim Curry hamming it up as few can as he recounts the events of the evening before he reveals the murderer. He, as Wadsworth, pauses his motor-mouthed explanation for just a beat to say as an aside, “I know because I was there.”

It’s so absolutely perfect (Kahn’s line is probably the only one that’s as perfect in the same way) and yet it’s something that’s taken on a lot more meaning for me than the writers probably ever intended.

I’ve found myself recently explaining why I hold my political beliefs or have the fears I do. I’ve explained why I think the casting in movies matters, why certain news sites are not to be trusted, why people are dangerous. And usually I’m either preaching to the choir, or preaching to the opposite of that (the damned? The tone-deaf?).

When it comes to the opposite of the choir, I make arguments. I find people who fall between us in terms of beliefs in an attempt to nudge them along. I point out how these hypothetical policies may affect me, or try to illustrate how minorities or women may feel, and they fall on tone-deaf ears. At some point people are not interested in hearing your argument and they will write it off.

And I want to scream that line. Not flames on the sides of my face though I feel that too, a lot. But the other one. I KNOW. BECAUSE I WAS THERE. I sometimes think about adding the line YOU GASLIGHTING FUCK but unlike Kahn or Curry I’m not much of an improviser so I should probably stick to the script.

Wadsworth isn’t asked how he knows (though truthfully is there time for anyone else to draw breath to interrupt), he just offers it. I’m thinking about doing that. I’m not terribly optimistic that someone who ignores my concerns about the likely hypothetical will give a damn about my actual, real experience, but at least it gives me a phrase to lean back on, to remind me that yes, yes, yes, I fucking know. I was there.

I don’t have anything going on neurologically or psychologically that really plays with my memory, fortunately, and I’ve always had a pretty good one too - the cosmetic details may erode or even be incorrect (I still don’t know whether I played Clue at my house or my friend’s house or how it relates chronologically to that cheese incident) but it’s something I am usually confident in. I will place bets on my memory. I trust my experience. But it’s been a rough couple of months and this isn’t an argument with my friend over whether our college put on a particular play our junior or senior year, or whether or not I’ve met someone who graduated when I was a freshman, or the location of a barbershop I never go to. This is life or death.

I will take a fraction of a second. I will not scream nor will I shut down. I will look them in the eye before they even ask and tell them, “I know, because I was there.”
