Is there a line from a movie that really resonated with you but when you say it most people don't get the reference? (lemm.ee)

Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky.

What's this one from. My old roommate used to always say it when we played first person shooters and he was being shot at.

It's from The In-Laws (1979)

Thanks bot! I didn't know about this.

I think it's from Generation Kill, where the Marines are bounding and when it's the journalist's turn, he runs back and forth instead of in a straight line and explains it with "Serpentine!"

[–] Tathas@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Generation Kill was referencing The In-Laws

I'm sure it's not the origin, but I remember it best from Metalocolypse.

An adult swim show that satirizes the metal culture of the time.

Dethklok, the band that is the focus of the show actually has some good tunes.

There have been several albums released.

A lot of talent behind this animated band.
