Have you ever watched a movie, tv
show, or read a book and thought really? You have to profess your undying love
now!
Of course No time for love Dr. Jones
comes from India Jones, but I think this phrase can be used for any movie, tv,
book scene in which the bad guys are about to attack, someone has just been
brutally injured, the apocalypse is about to occur…you get the picture.
So I thought I would go over those favorite
moment that make me shout “no time for love Dr. Jones!”
Post script, I really do like these
movies, shows, and books. Otherwise I don’t think I could be so ‘no time for
love Dr. Jones’ on minute, then that was awesome the next.
Orphan Black. You know the scene when
Paul say that Beth wasn’t the one I loved. Okay yes, he turned out to be the
hero everyone was hoping for. And yes I’m sure some people swooned when he said
that. But me I was thinking about the Castor Clones, Mother, oh yeah and the
fact that everyone is looking for Sarah.
Mockingjay, Part I when Gale talks
about how the only time he can get Katniss’s attention is when he is in pain. Actually
I guess the Hunger Gamer series in general. Okay yes, you can’t help but feel
bad for the guy. Who has not been there? When you like someone and they know
you like them, but they are not sure how they feel about you. But you still
hope they like you, they just haven’t realized it yet. But it’s not exactly the
same because you don’t have some crazy government trying to take over
everything.
The Delirium series by Lauren Oliver.
To be fair it is based on a society in which love is a disease. But is the
middle of a fight between the government and the rebels a good time to fight
over a girl? Yes she kicks but in her own right, but can we wait until after
everything settles down first, like the battle?
There’s even a ‘no time for love Dr.
Jones’ moment in WALL-E. Yes WALL-E. When WALL-E risk his battery life to save the
plant. Then EVE forgets about her directive to show WALL-E she cares about him.
Then WALL-E is insistent and says ‘directive’ and you’re already crying because
you keep saying “he’s gonna make it right?” Then EVE finally understands the
directive will also save WALL-E.
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the
Clones. Two words. Anakin and Padme. First let me say I LOVE Star Wars. But
when I watch this all I can think is if someone is out to get me, I think my
last thought would be of romance. Knowing me, I would be too busy asking, What
was that? Did you guys hear that? Do I know that person who is staring this
way? Can you go to the store for me? Cause I need to be incognito.
If all this has thought me anything.
It is I guess Indie should take a page from Han Solo’s book and kept it short
and to the point. Two words that’s it. “I know.”
