Worst Lines From Anywhere

[Generally Contrary]

Been to the Year 3000?  Remember, if the song succeeds in wooing the lovely ladies of Busted(?) in the romantic sci-fi drama manner that it emulates, her (great great great) granddaughter will not only be 'pretty fine', but will be HIS GRANDDAUGHTER TOO.

I'm not sure I follow that, GC, but you're the one with the Masters in genetics, so I'll take your word for it.

"Good/bad one from the hammer film on Saturday night.

"It seems to have the ability to defend itself. What if a plant was intelligent, knew who it's enemies were and could destroy them?"
"A plant like that could take over the world!" "

That wasn't a Hammer film! It was Dr. Terror's House of Horror, the first antology horror film made by Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg's AMICUS studios, and is basically a rip-off of Dead of Night, the 1945 Ealing portmanteau horror film.

I'm really offended you thought it was a Hammer film!

[House of Usher]

See?

[Gothmog]

Bah!  I would've got away with it if it weren't for you pesky kids!

I stand corrected and offer my humble apologies.
I joined it halfway through and I'm fairly sure ceefax listed it as a hammer film.  
It's all their fault.

"Get the hell out of our galaxy!"

The defining moment in Babylon 5, for me.  The definition in question being:

Babylon 5 noun A big pile of shit.

...regarding anime, there's a wonderful bit in the 1970s Captain Harlock where a character says "There's someone spying on us, Dad, but I don't think it's a person, I think it's a woman!"

There's a great bit right at the end of the film The Abyss, where the people at the bottom of the ocean have just been raised to the surface, improbably quickly, by the space aliens.  One of them wonders why they didn't get the bends and another says "I guess the aliens must have protected us."

As for bad lyrics, there's Starship's delightful song "We Built This City," every line of which is a nightmare.

it's time for you, for you to play the game,
people are coming, everyone's trying,
trying to be the best that they can,
when they're going for, going for GOLD!"

Except he doesn't say that. He says "not like *here*. Here everything's soft and smooth".

Still not exactly Shakespeare, but hey. There are so many genuine bad lines in Star Wars there's no need to make 'em up.

"It's like something out of a dream... or maybe I'm just going crazy" (Luke on Dagobah in the Empire Strikes Back)

"Many things will change when we reach the capital, Annie, but my caring for you will remain" (Queen Armadillo in the Phantom Menace)

"Yippeee!" (Anakin, ibid)

"The heat is on, the time is right,
it's time for you, for you to play the game,

trying to be the best that they can,

Very good memory - or maybe you have it on video  ;-D
