And I don't even know if I'm black with white stripes or white with black stripes. (upon arriving Grand Central Station) Grand Central Station! It's grand and it's central. Oh sugar honey ice tea!
At one scene, when Marty runs away from Alex in slow motion, he shouts out: "Sugar Honey Iced Tea!". Take the first four letters of those four words and they spell "Shit".
The crowd inquires about Marty's wish when he blew out the candles. He confesses that he wished he could go to the wild. All of Marty's friends react poorly. After the party, Alex goes to see why Marty is upset.
I'm gonna have a good time tonight. If we have enough good times together, I'm gonna get down on my knees. I'm gonna beg that girl to marry me. If we make a party on New Year's, I got a date for that party.
So anyway, he gives Marty an Alex the Lion snow globe for his birthday, but Marty is not cheered by the gesture. Marty is depressed because he lives in a zoo and has no freedom (not the funniest premise for a children's comedy).
Not only would this explain why Marty Mcfly hates being called a chicken, but it also goes a long way towards explaining other subtle changes in his character throughout the trilogy.
Nobody — calls me — chicken. Marty. "Chicken" was an insult that Marty McFly and others in his family — such as Martin McFly (Seamus's brother) — did not take lightly. The slang term for a coward would cause Marty to overreact in his efforts to prove that he was not a chicken, usually resulting in trouble.
Chris Rock as Marty, a plains zebra. McGrath explained the character: "Marty is a guy who thinks there might be more to life than what's in the zoo. We wanted his character to be energetic, so we listened to Chris Rock." David Schwimmer as Melman, a hypochondriac reticulated giraffe who is afraid of germs.
“We liked the idea of a friendship between a zebra and a lion and how that relationship changes when they're in the wild. But the theme of the movie couldn't be, “Don't eat your friend! ' What we came up with is that it doesn't matter where you go, it only matters who you go with. It's a parable about friendship.”
The power of friendship despite differences gets strong play in this film. All the friends go to great lengths to help each other, even to the point of endangering themselves.
The island's name, Madagascar, is of uncertain origin but historical documents suggest that the Venetian merchant Marco Polo, who did not even visit Madagascar, confused the island with the kingdom of Mogadishu in Somali, East Africa (located slightly north of the Equator), and named it based on mispronunciation and ...
A jury consisting of 1,500 film artists, critics, and historians selected "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", spoken by Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in the 1939 American Civil War epic Gone with the Wind, as the most memorable American movie quotation of all time.
Doc, I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that you invented. Now I need your help to get back to the year 1985. Listen, George, if you do not ask Lorraine out then I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life.
Plot. Marty Piletti is an Italian-American butcher who lives in The Bronx with his mother. Unmarried at 34, the good-natured but socially awkward Marty faces constant badgering from family and friends to settle down, as they point out that all his brothers and sisters are already married, most of them with children.
The low-budget 1955 drama “Marty” about a lonely middle-aged butcher who fears he'll never find love became a surprise commercial and critical hit, ultimately winning Oscars for Best Picture, director for Delbert Mann, actor for Ernest Borgnine and best writing, screenplay for Chayefsky.
It's a fine movie. It establishes its author, Paddy Chayefsky... as one of the country's foremost dramatic writers. And the performances by Ernest Borgnine [and Betsy Blair] are superb.
This acclaimed romantic drama follows the life of Marty Piletti (Ernest Borgnine), a stout bachelor butcher who lives with his mother (Esther Minciotti) in the Bronx.
Due to the permanently reddish tint of its bare earth, Madagascar has earned the nickname Great Red Island. Madagascar's major rivers rise in the highlands near the eastern coast and flow west through valleys to the Mozambique Channel (left).
