Roger Ebert’s quote of the following exchange from A Sound of Thunder:
“What’s that?”
“The molecular structure of brontosaurus blood.”
“No Way! Cool!”
reminded me of my favorite line from the positively awful movie Congo:
“I’m not a pound of sugar, I’m a primatologist!”
I don’t know why, but that line’s always stuck with me. I’ve tried very hard to block the rest of the film from my memory. (Ebert, of course, gave it three stars, which I can’t agree with, but which I guess I understand. Most of the actors, particularly Ernie Hudson, were clearly having fun making it, so that’s something.)
I’m not really sure where I’m going with any of this.
