I should concede that I'm not really sold on that part of my argument either. The important thing is that Gary stands by his mates rather than abandoning them, which, regardless of why he does it, is a step in the right direction.

Another thing I hate that World's End delightfully subverted: when the horribly insufferable protag gets the girl. Not in this film!

It seems like every time Raising Arizona is mentioned on this site, a quote thread inevitably results.

I love Band of Brothers and have watched it many times over the years, but not for some time. It's due for a rewatch, especially since I bet I'll recognize many more faces this time around - Simon Pegg for one, as apparently he was in two episodes!

Good man! You'll teach your progeny well.

I fed a wallaby once - such a delightful creature. Emus, not so much. They'd peck the food out of your hand and then stalk off without so much as a smile.

My god, this story is the most incendiary business to happen in Chicago since the Great Fire! I hope everything goes ok, and that perhaps the Douchebag's utter grossness will cause him to collapse in upon himself like a neutron star.

Garlic fries? Yes ma'am!

Ah, what the hell:
