Quotes

• “You ain’t my partner, rook.  You’re just the ass in the other seat.”
• “RIPD don’t and don’t sleep.”  –  “So why do you eat this?”  –  “I enjoy the mouthfeel!”
• “I thought you were some kind of rebel, Roy.” – “I fought for the North.”
• “Total humiliation.  Just a pants-down spanking in the supermarket.”
• “You agreeing with me… that’s weird.” – “Yeah, feels strange…kind of tingly.”

Viewer Quotes

• “What’s this thing called?  Ripped?”
• “As a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, this is a disaster.  But as a smaller, no expectation, weird flick, it’s not bad.”
• “So time freezes anytime anyone dies?  Nobody would get anything done!”

Things We Learned

• Indian food transforms dead people into monsters, specifically cumin.
• RIPD don’t eat or sleep, just kick Dead-O’s ass.
• Dead people still live among us (some of us knew that all along)
• Jeff Bridges likes a nice turn of an ankle.
• How to billy-goat somebody.

Final Take: Not as bad as some will have you believe.  If your expectations are as low as ours were, you will likely find this movie just fine, and Jeff Bridges character in particular was pretty entertaining.
