Impressed it found this. Less impressed at early cut-off.

While it’s fun to look up your favorite lines, this actually is a useful tool to demonstrate the sameness of writing in popular entertainment.

There is a movie dialog at the beginning of the song “Miaaaw” by Mr. Oizo (on his 1999 album Analog Worms Attack).
I’ve wanted to know where it comes from for the past 10 years, at least.

That website didn’t help… I’m heart-broken.

No hits for “the video word made flesh” so this site is dead to me

It’s got “‘Twas beauty killed the beast,” but only from Family Guy and American Dad.

Army of darkness but not Eraserhead? Hmm. Whatever, I love it. And this was the last result for the phrase. Oh well. 35c71553-6ad7-4b91-b405-72c76f59aca1_text
