Movieokie

Fox News ( via Slashdot ) has coverage on Movieokie - the idea with Movieokie is just like Karoake, except rather then singing a song, you act out your favorite movie scene.  I *love* this idea, in fact Prashant, a fellow 'softie, said he was interested in opening up a Movieokie place in Seattle [Aside: If I ever open a bar in a geek-town like Seattle, I would name it “Foo“]. Below is a list of classic scenes I would love to act out:

• Benicio Del Toro in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the elevator scene)
• Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction (Army “debrief“)
• Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction (“Say what again“ scene)
• Mel Gibson in Braveheart (Pre-battle speech scene)
• Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross (ABC scene)
• Jamie Kennedy in Scream (moviestore scene)
• Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs (“you kids shouldn't play so rough“ scene)
• Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs (any scene)
• Jeff Bridges in Big Lebowski (“the carpet really made the room” scene)
• Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now (boat arrival scene)
• Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now (Napalm speech scene)

and of course Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men - “You can't handle the truth“ scene

What scene would you want to do?

  Dan,
  
  Having seen you (and Prashant for that matter), I get the feeling that you would be perfectly suited to play any role that John Cusak has played.

  Personally I favor Viggo Mortensen's "Never seen a wild thing sorry for itself" rant from G.I. Jane.

  I would like to do the part of Tom hanks, where he walks away from the airport "Viktor's leaving scene" in the movie The Terminal and Mr. Thurman gives Tom his jacket, saying "its snowing in the city, you might need this". The camera by januz which walks along with Tom out of the airport, WOW. Music by John which intensifies itself adding value to the scene, WOW. And whe Viktor comes out at the other end, the bustle of Newyork city, WOW. (Well i have never been out of India, thats apart). But i would love to do the scene when it comes to movieokie.
