It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

The Swarm is wonderfully bad. The scene on the train is classic.

I liked The Swarm so much when I was a kid, I read the novel on which it was based. I had the wonderful movie tie-in paperback edition with the photos in the middle that used to be so popular.

This may not be the best movie ever made, but it did create a catchphrase that is still in use today. TGIF!!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

But here are some SWARM quotes

I know a challenge when I see one, Borstal. TGIF is now at the top of my Netflix queue.

Unless I decide to watch it on my computer. Anyone do that via Netflix?

Nothing is. I just watched that again last weekend (okay, skimmed through it)... and the finale has crazy people in it:

Carol Channing
Dame Edna
Chita Rivera
Gwen Verdon
Peter Allen
Keith Carradine
Yvonne Elliman
Leif Garrett
Tina Turner
Frankie Va

It's a 1978 orgy of OMG!
