'I'm Too Old For This Sh**' Mash-Up, In Honor Of 'Lethal Weapon's' 25th Anniversary (Video)
6 March 2012 1:10 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
You're getting too old for this: 25 years ago, on March 6, 1987, "Lethal Weapon" was released. The buddy-cop thriller not only cemented Mel Gibson's status as a household name after playing good-natured loose-canon (as opposed to now) Martin Riggs, but also created a social phenomenon still relevant to this day: "I'm getting too old for this shit."
The catchphrase, said numerous times throughout the "Lethal Weapon" series by Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover), has appeared in many movies over the last 25 years, often times in reference to the put-upon police detective himself. (The recent trailer for "Men In Black 3" features Will Smith uttering a PG variation on Murtaugh's famous one-liner.)
What you might not know? That "Lethal Weapon" wasn't the first film to utilize some form of the defeated turn-of-phrase. From "North by Northwest" and "The Sting" to Murtaugh himself, enjoy a mash-up of movie characters getting too old for this.

Meet the 2012 SXSW Filmmakers #2: Martha Stephens, 'Pilgrim Song'
1 March 2012 8:20 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Martha Stephens hails from Eastern Kentucky. "Pilgrim Song" is her second feature; "Passenger Pigeons" premiered at SXSW 2010 and won the We Believe In You Award. She is a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, School of Filmmaking, but says she earns her wages teaching at a rural middle school in West Virginia. As a child, she was "inundated with tall tales and folk songs," and knew she wanted to be a storyteller before realizing she wanted to be a filmmaker. The people of Appalachia, she says, are known for their storytelling. She remembers her grandmother, Memaw, singing songs like "Frankie and Johnny" with a "graveled twang that would make your heart melt." The songs were full of murder, hell, fire and brimstone; "I fell in love with the raw quality the people from my home possessed, and I knew I wanted to create films celebrating »
