Lieutenant Dan Returns to be Forrest Gump’s First Mate

By Leave a Comment

There are so many great scenes in 1994’s Forrest Gump. The entire movie is one excellent scene, but one of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Lieutenant Dan shows up on the dock and Forrest Gump jumps off his shrimp boat to swim and greet him. This one scene contains two of our all time favorite lines from Forrest Gump, “Thought I’d try out my sea legs.” “But, you ain’t got no legs Lieutenant Dan.”

Then, at the end of this scene, when his boat crashes into a pier, “That’s my boat…”

Enjoy this look back at a classic scene from 1994’s Forrest Gump featuring Lieutenant Dan and Forrest Gump!

The X-Files D.P.O. Episode Intro featuring Jack Black and Giovanni Ribisi from 1995

By Leave a Comment

I love the X-Files, and I vividly remember this episode from 1995 called D.P.O. It featured a young Jack Black who wasn’t yet a household name as well as Giovanni Ribisi, who had appeared in a number of TV shows at the point, but also wasn’t a household name yet. In the opening scene of this episode, a bully picks on Ribisi’s character, and when Jack Black’s character says, “Oh man, you shouldn’t have done that”, and James’ Ring the Bells starts playing, chills still run up my spine.

Enjoy this look back at Coach D’Amato’s pre-game speech in Any Given Sunday from 1999!

Al Pacino – Any Given Sunday Speech: Inch By Inch

I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today.

Either, we heal as a team, or we are going to crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Till we’re finished. We are in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light.

We can climb outta hell… one inch at a time.

Now I can’t do it for you, I’m too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I’ve pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that’s… that’s… that’s a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football.

Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the f%#&@! difference between WINNING and LOSING, between LIVING and DYING!

I’ll tell you this, in any fight it’s the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I’m gonna have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That’s a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That’s football guys, that’s all it is.

Now, what are you gonna do?

The Making of ‘Dumb & Dumber’ from 1994

By Leave a Comment

Like so many iconic movies from the ’90s, Dumb and Dumber almost never was. At the time, the Farrelly brothers were basically broke and almost every studio in Hollywood had turned down the script for Dumb and Dumber, which was originally called A Power Tool is Not a Toy. Once they found a studio to greenlight the film, they were turned down by almost every famous actor at the time to play the lead roles before landing Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, but as we know now, Carrey and Daniels were perfect together, and the legend of the Farrelly brothers was born.

After Dumb and Dumber, they either wrote, directed, and/or produced so many hilarious movies including Kingpin, There’s Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal, and Dumb and Dumber To. Enjoy this look back at the making of Dumb and Dumber from 1994!
