10 things I can say to my son

So now that we've officially decided that our son's name will be Luke, I have come up with a list of quotes that I can say to him.
  1. LUKE! We’re gonna have company! – Han Solo
  2. That’s great kid, don’t get cocky! – Han Solo
  3. No, I am your father! – Darth Vader
  4. Aren’t you a little short for a Storm Trooper? – Princess Leia
  5. Do, or do not………….there is no try. – Yoda
  6. What an incredible smell you’ve discovered! – Han Solo
  7. It’s pointless to resist my son. – Darth Vader
  8. Impressive………….MOST impressive. – Darth Vader
  9. Don’t make me destroy you. – Darth Vader
  10. You’d better watch yourself. I’ve got the death sentence in 12 systems. – Guy in Cantina

I know they're all from Star Wars, but I couldn't think of any from Dukes of Hazzard. I'm sure there's others.............what else can you come up with?

Movies referencing Movies

Have you ever noticed how many movies make reference to other movies? A comment to a post that I left over at David Amulet made me think of this. Here are some examples of what I’m talking about:

  1. Cannonball Run referencing Smokey & the Bandit - “We could get a black Trans Am! Nah……….that’s been done.” (Not to mention the black T/A that's in the race)
  2. Twister referencing Star Wars (A New Hope) – “That’s no moon. It’s a space station.”
  3. Strange Brew referencing Star Wars (Return of the Jedi) – “I am your father Luke. Give in to the Dark Side of the force you nob. He saw Jedi 17 times, eh.”
  4. Last Action Hero referencing Terminator 2 - Arnold Schwarzenegger walks past a movie cutout in Blockbuster with Stallone as the Terminator, instead of himself.
  5. Die Hard referencing First Blood – I can’t remember the exact quote, but someone refers to John Mclaine as Rambo.
  6. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls referencing Scarface – “Say hello to my stinky friend!”
  7. Billy Madison references The Godfather II – “I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart.”
  8. Saturday Night Fever references Dog Day Afternoon - After a woman kisses Tony, she says that she just kissed Al Pacino. Later while looking in the mirror, Tony starts chanting, "Attica! Attica!"

    Can you think of any others?
