Cinematherapy: "If isn't one thing it's another."


From time to time I'll use a quote from a movie scene to give myself a little perspective on a problem. Sometimes I remember when Buck, faced with an invasion from another dimension and the imminent destruction of our planet, says, "If it isn't one thing, it's another" (or words to that effect).

I really don't care who originally came up with. I just really like it when HE says it.

I just got a kick out of the fact that it was a very "modern"-sounding line. I think Buckaroo himself would have known the source being an educated man with an interest in philosophy.

Agreed. Here's another thing of Doctor Banzai's sayings (I don't know or care if he said it first),"There are times when verbal ingenuity is not enough."

--From the novelization of The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzi Across The Eighth Dimension.
