When you’re a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do.

Your twenties are a blur.

Your thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, ‘What happened to my twenties?’

Your forties, you grow a little pot belly you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother.

Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You’ll call it a ‘procedure’, but it’s a surgery.

Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn’t matter because you can’t hear it anyway.

Seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale, you start eating dinner at two, lunch around ten, breakfast the night before. And you spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate in soft yogurt and muttering ‘How come the kids don’t call?’

By your eighties, you’ve had a major stroke, and you end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse who your wife can’t stand but who you call mama.

Any questions?”


Which movie is it from? And, which actor said it?

I can picture Billy Crystal standing in front of a class room saying some of these lines, not sure about all of them. Right now I'm processing all the data in my mind for the title of the movie, it may or may not come to me!

Well, hey, Kobi, good to see you over here in homoe's movie lines thread!!

The quote I used was from the movie Trouble With The Curve and it was a scene between John Goodman and Clint Eastwood! I can't state exactly how far into the movie when the quote occurs but that was the movie I was quoting or thought I was quoting I should say........

Ohhhh, hey, another movie to watch, yes???

See, I think you're on the money with hearing Billy Crystal, and I think I may have watched this movie too, but it's been YEARS ago, that I saw it.....can't think of the title either. But yesh, Billy Crystal came to mind too!!

I'm think he's talking to like elementary students for some darn reason and they are like clueless to what the hell he's even talking about, but I could be mixing it up with another one of his movies!


Sidebar: I recently hear or read somewhere that it isn't old age or forgotten memory when we're having a hard time recalling a specific bit of info, but because we're older we have WAY more data that our mind has to process before we come up with the information we seek!

Miss Katz, I HIGHLY recommend Trouble With The Curve........

Oh, homoe, I think you're SO right about the brain as it ages.... AND, I like how you process that particular strand of thought.

<<<<<~~ struggles with information over load, alllll the time.



AND, I LOVE LOVE LOVE movies that star Billy Crystal. What type of actor would you sat he is???? Method actor????

I'm also a huge fan of early movies starring Dan Akroyd, Eddie Murphy, and Bill Murray and most of the SNL crew of the 70s Era and beyond.

Dawn, homoe you are both correct. It was Billy Crystal and it was years and years ago.

BTW, thanks for the suggestion on Donnie Darko. That has got to be the strangest, most bizarrely intriguing and creative movie I have seen in a long time. Half way thru and hope I get to finish it before I have to head out.

[homoe]

OK now I'm getting REALLY bugged, I know the title isn't The Meaning Of Life because that is Monty Python but I think its about life and what's the point of life.... blah blah blah!

Damn if only I were younger and didn't have so much data for my mind to process....

[homoe]

OMG Kobi is it City Slickers????? The first one? I only saw it once and it really didn't make that big of an impression on me at the time so maybe I should re-watch it???

Yes, correct! The original City Slickers. 1991 I believe. Classic Crystal, classic one liners.






And, when Donnie Darko haunts my sleep tonight.....you are on the west coast, me on the east......remind me to bug you cuz you will still be awake. LOL.
