Fister Roboto posted:Does "news at 11" or "film at 11" count? Because that's a thing that people reference all the time despite not actually being a thing that was ever said. Well huh. Here's one: A few years back there was a movie quote that people were trying to track down. The characters are looking at a weird device and have an exchange like this The first character asks: "What does it do?" The second replies: "It doesn’t do anything. That’s the beauty of it.” Everyone seems sure it came from Willy Wonka. or Hitchhiker's Guide or Weird Science or The Big Lebowski, Real Genius, Back to the Future, Buckaroo Banzai, or hell maybe Gremlins Eventually two sources are found, an old tv show and a play, neither of which were hugely well known. Which doesn't help explain why everyone (including me) seemed so sure they knew exactly where they'd heard it. Brains really are weird. Here's an article about it, with a cameo from our very own forums for good measure. https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/21/14952294/what-does-it-do-thats-the-beauty-of-it-movie-quote-source a kitten has a new favorite as of 20:18 on Sep 3, 2020 |
