I may be imagining this but have you noticed how a lot of mainstream films seem to go through periods where they contain common phrases?
A few years ago, I noticed several films would include the phrase, "now that's what I'm talking about."
Now the current line seems to be, "it is time," usually spoken by a grizzly wise old man. You'll notice the phrase mentioned featured in pretty much any trailer with a historic or fantasy tint.
I'm starting to wonder whether it's an in-joke for scriptwriters, where they choose a line then try and jam it into as many films as possible. Or it could just be lazy writing
Can you think of any other examples?
