Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Only two quotes here, one ("you sunk my battleship") isn't at all original and the other ("Melivin"), well, I don't know what that means, but it's rare for a single word to make for a unique or memorable quote, and I think it falls well short here. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC) * Delete per nom Even speedy.--Poetlister 16:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC) Now has quotes.

 * Keep. Most excellent improvement, dude! But lose the wrack — it's maximum geek. Wikiquote is a most serious project, and deserves only truly bodacious quotes. (Translation: Let's get rid of the unoriginal, context-less, and not especially memorable quotes, as those only satisfy fans of the film, and are not what we collect.) Party on! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, I thought I already did that. Which ones do you want to dump? (OK, I'll admit I like "You sunk my battleship". But not because I love Bill and Ted, but because I love The Seventh Seal --Ubiquity 20:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Ubiquity. I got a little carried away with the joke. I don't think the taglines are all that memorable, but then again, somewhere along the way we've picked up a habit of including them all regardless of quoteworthiness. (It's hardly a copyvio, but isn't focusing on excellent quotes, either.) Another problem is that the quotes require a lot of cultural context and/or explanation. I've added a couple of links to provide some of that, but it makes me realize how badly some films translate for a worldwide audience. With no real solution to this, I'm afraid my Bill&Ted-speak suggestion isn't worth much. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
