‘It Follows’Bill Simmons

Don't have sex with a guy named Hugh

‘It Follows’Joanna Robinson

Jokingly amends it to 'don't have sex with a Jeff' too, since you can't rule out all variations of the name

‘Friday the 13th’Bill Simmons

Don't reopen 'Camp Blood' / don't take a cook job at a camp without reading the Yelp reviews first (i.e., heed the warnings about the camp's deadly history)

‘Friday the 13th’Van Lathan

Listen to the people in the diner warning you about the horrible history of the place where children get killed routinely

‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’Bill Simmons

The gas station attendant's line 'there's just something you do for to do it, you don't have to like it' - but the real lesson is don't pick up hitchhikers

‘Law Abiding Citizen’Bill Simmons

Quotes the line 'lessons not learned in blood are soon forgotten' as the life lesson pick

‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’Bill Simmons

Just kill Rambo/take him out immediately instead of letting him linger through drawn-out torture (electrocution, sewage pool) after already committing horrible acts — don't let the villain dangle, just kill him.

‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’Kyle Brandt

The scene at Murdoch's makeshift office/hangar in the jungle — the vibe of that hangout spot (free cold sodas from the Coke machine, playboys, foosball, karaoke, decent coffee) makes him want to hang there instead of being in the jungle; it's about how any workplace can be cool if you make it that way.

‘Aliens’Bill Simmons

Don't go back to your personal hell

‘Aliens’Chris Ryan

Sometimes you just gotta nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure

‘Aliens’Sean Fennessey

Just maybe don't participate in cryo sleep, because you never know when you'll wake up (could be 57 years)

‘Speed’Bill Simmons

"Luck runs out sooner or later, guts only get you so far, little cousin" - the line about luck being the biggest thing in the movie
