My favorite lines from the new King Kong movie are spoken by the preening B-movie action actor Baxtor.
The fictional screenwriter says: "I just never figured you for a coward."
To which Baxtor replies: "Hey pal; hey, wake up! Heroes don’t look like me; not in the real world.
In the real world they got bad teeth; a bald spot; and a beer gut."
"I’m just an actor with a gun; who’s lost his motivation."

I like that quote too.. thanks for posting it. I was looking for the exact thing so I could post it myself đ
I should make clear my convention in quotes. When I’m pretty sure I have the exact quote, I use the usual double quotation marks. When I’m trying to get close to the exact quote, but am less sure I’ve got it, I try to use single quotation marks. In this case, I wrote it down after I exited the theater, but am not sure I got it exactly right. (I’ll try to remember to check when it comes out on DVD.) Art Diamond
