I had an interesting conversation with a buddy of mine last night over dinner. He insisted that Predator should be on the list of Most Influentila Movies because it spawned two future governors and such classic lines as “I don’t have time to bleed” and “Forget about me and get to the chopper.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t argue. I don’t know if it was the mad genius of his argument (which I have hacked down to a couple of statements) or the number of Pale Ales consumed, but I couldn’t come up with any kind of rebuttal.
Mind you, this was the same guy that went to the Star Wars convention in Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago and had Billy Dee Williams sign a can of Colt 45. Billy Dee was not happy. He also puts stuff on Ebay that people leave behind at his apartment and insist they bid on it before he gives it back. It is pretty funny, unless it is something you need, like your keys.
