Going to have a be a quick one tonight. My laptop is on batteries and draining power quicker than an Investment Bank loses money.

If we could stick a tracking a device on those memorable slogans and lines that some films generate and then see if they'll thrive once they've been released as it were into the wild. I'm thinking here of a strip of dialogue between Steve Evets and Eric Cantona in Looking for Eric:

Steve Evets as Eric Bishop, a deeply depressed Mancunian Postman:"...Eric, you're the man....

Eric Cantona as lui-meme: "I'm not a man....I'm Cantona..."

Come on, that has to find life outside the confines of a great script and terrific film. It's imbued with a "Four score years and seven...." quality
