I watch a fair amount of movies, so that's one of my primary sources.
For example, the blue-faced Braveheart rallying cry (link).
Or the Herb Brooks "beat the Russians" peptalk from Miracle (link).
But right now, I'm really taking to heart this motivational speech from a favorite childhood movie, UHF.
Side note: Awesome that "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is playing at the climax of his speech. I'd never verified it before, but the version used in the movie just so happens to be sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (source) with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Pretty cool, huh?
And so, friends and random readers, consider this my virtual standing up, going to the window, and yelling, "These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
Anybody got a spare toothbrush?
A favorite?? Really? UHF?? Apparently it is the same for my husband and his family. I'm forced to watch it occasionally. I do, however, use the phrase "spatula city" quite often.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not THE favorite, but definitely a favorite. We're kind of a silly family. And good call on using the "spatula city" reference :)
