Worst Movie Dialogue Ever?

'X-Men' and 'Sin City' nominated for worst lines in film history

EW.com recently ranked the "15 Nominees For Worst Movie Dialogue Ever," and a trio of films near and dear to science-fiction and comics fans made the list.

Among the 15 lines of dialogue, the much-maligned piece of dialogue offered up by Storm (Halle Berry) in "X-Men" to Toad (Ray Park):

'You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else.''

Also on the list are two lines of dialogue that were meant to be romantic, but ended up just sounding silly: One of the many ill-scripted romantic moments between Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Amidala (Natalie Portman) during "Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith", and a moment shared between two violence-prone lovers in the big-screen adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City.

Personally, I'm shocked by the absence of MY choice for worst line of dialogue in film history.

Does anyone remember the brilliant observation made by vampire-killer Blade (Wesley Snipes) upon vanquishing the villain of the first film? In case you subconsciously willed yourself to forget it, here it is:

"Some motherf*ckers is always trying to iceskate uphill."

Beat THAT, EW.com.
