20E Friday, January 29, 2010 The Daytona Beach News-Journal GO 386: ENTERTAINMENT Say it loud and say it proud! I was sitting on my couch watching TV this past week when I caught a very intriguing trailer. It was for the new film ‘‘Extraordinary Measures’’ starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser. Now when I say intriguing don’t mistake that for good. Actually, I think the movie looks quite terrible. But in this mediocre trailer was placed a diamond in the rough, one of my favorite aspects of film: the yelled line. Yes, that brilliant moment where a character’s dialogue cannot be expressed in pure spoken form. It must be overacted and screamed at the top of one’s lungs. And if it can be done in a very gruff voice, a la Harrison Ford, that makes it that much better. In ‘‘Measures,’’ the example can be heard when Fraser’s character, having employed Ford to create a medicine that might save his sick children, urges him to work longer hours. Ford’s response is a gritty and wonderful shout, ‘‘I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK!’’ And while this line brought sheer joy to my heart, it’s not even in the top 20 yelled lines in film history. Which lines are on that prestigious list? I’m glad you asked. . . 20. ‘‘To infinity . . . and beyond!’’: Tim Allen in ‘‘Toy Story,’’ 1995 19. ‘‘Attica! Attica!’’: Al Pacino in ‘‘Dog Day Afternoon,’’ 1975 18. ‘‘As you wish!’’: Cary Elwes in ‘‘The Princess Bride,’’ 1987 17. ‘‘This . . . is . . . Sparta!’’: Gerard Butler in ‘‘300,’’ 2006 16. ‘‘You shall not pass!’’: Ian McKellen in ‘‘The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings,’’ 2001 15. ‘‘Hey you guys!’’: John Matuszak in ‘‘Goonies,’’ 1985 14. ‘‘Get off my plane!’’: Harrison Ford in ‘‘Air Force One,’’ 1997 13. ‘‘Give me back my son!’’: Mel Gibson in ‘‘Ransom,’’ 1996 12. ‘‘I am a golden god!’’: Billy Crudup in ‘‘Almost Famous,’’ 2000 11. ‘‘You’re gonna eat lightnin’ and you’re gonna crap thunder!’’: Burgess Meredith in ‘‘Rocky,’’ 1976 10. ‘‘You don’t come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Green like that!’’: John Cazale in ‘‘The Godfather,’’ 1972 9. ‘‘Say hello to my little friend!’’: Al Pacino in ‘‘Scarface,’’ 1983 8. ‘‘Father. Noooooo!’’: Mark Hamill in ‘‘Star Wars,’’ 1977 7. ‘‘Show me the money!’’: Tom Cruise in ‘‘Jerry Maguire,’’ 1996 6. ‘‘Are you not entertained?!’’: Russell Crowe in ‘‘Gladiator,’’ 2000 5. ‘‘Adrian!’’: Sylvester Stallone in ‘‘Rocky,’’ 1976 4. ‘‘Stella! Stella!’’: Marlon Brando in ‘‘A Streetcar Named Desire,’’ 1951 3. ‘‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!’’: Peter Finch in ‘‘Network,’’ 1976 2. ‘‘You can’t handle the truth!’’: Jack Nicholson in ‘‘A Few Good Men,’’ 1992 1. ‘‘Freedom!’’: Mel Gibson in ‘‘Braveheart,’’ 1995 PPP Here’s what else is happening this week: PPP A while back we told you that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was in rehab for an addic- tion to painkillers. After this story, I’m not sure how well that rehab is working. Seems that Liv and Mia’s dad- dy was doing some shopping at a California Home Depot last weekend when the singer de- cided to bust out some a cappella versions of his hits, namely ‘‘Dude Looks Like A Lady’’ and ‘‘I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing’’ over the store’s intercom sys- tem. According to TMZ: ‘‘Steven also swallowed a few mouthfuls of gas from a helium machine, for blowing up balloons, and kept singing in a high pitched Bee Gees style. He was very re- laxed though, and happily signed autographs for anyone who asked.’’ Yep, rehab is awesome. PPP Inflation not considered, James Cameron’s ‘‘Avatar’’ is set to become the highest gross- ing film of all time. This week it became the highest grossing film worldwide with a whop- ping $1.85 billion. Here at home, the film finds itself just $45 mil- lion short of Cameron’s other cash cow, ‘‘Titanic,’’ which it should pass this week or next. But still, with all its high praise, I just don’t have much interest in seeing it. What do you think, Fanboy readers? Is it worth my $10?

Stella!’’ (Marlon Brando, ‘‘A Street- car Named Desire’’); and ‘‘You shall not pass!’’ (Ian McKellen, ‘‘The Lord of the Rings: Fellow- ship of the Rings’’).
