Jeez, you destroy ONE galaxy and that's all they talk about.

Jedis, I don't know… they do okay if they make it past the youngling stage. Otherwise…

I'll go further - I think even if you DON'T like wordplay and puns you would still like it. [Well - you can't HATE them, but…] That is, certainly they're there, but Milo's whole journey is heartfelt and, well, realistic in a way. The puns are gravy, but if you don't lean to that kind of humor the story still works.

Love this book (because I'm not a terrorist) and smiled at the illustration in this clip for the car that goes without saying…

Best thing about Bubbles' well-deserved happy ending is that it DOESN'T come when he wants it, a few episodes before — a Thanksgiving, or Christmas dinner, something like that?  There's some occassion, and he thinks things are going well enough for her to invite him upstairs - she knows better.  Then when finally in

The absolute saddest word spoken in the whole run of The Wire was when Dukie's asked about "that time when" with the other gang, and the piss balloons, and "remember that..?"   There's an achingly long, searching pause, and Dukie says "..no.."

..bet he can…!   I'm pretty sure his radar sense, which can detect newsprint (through gloves, on occasion, unless those were colorist mistakes) can get down to pixel level.

Zack - you're right about HPL - a ton of his stories deal with this.  I'd go with Arthur Jermyn, which is kind of cheating.. the protagonist, upon finding out what's going on, is only just about to go crazy when the story ends…as I recall.  And now I will get back to my project of re reading all my Lovecraft, because

See Thin Red Line, conor c.   It's pretty great.

I never liked Imagine much (and I was alive and about 13 when it came out) and disliked it more when it seemed to be the only Lennon song ever played in the years following his death (I know, they played a lot more, but jeez). 
However….
I'm too lazy to look up actualy dialog and scenes, but the song was used to great

Robocop is real though, isn't he?  I've seen him on the tv, he must be!

"Those who demand pure objectivity from their documentaries"  — I've never been able to understand this.  I can't think of one documentary that didn't have some point of view.  Maybe I'm missing something?  It's a work of art, and ANY piece of art has a slant of some kind.

I met a gentleman recently, an MLK scholar of some kind, who for years has performed the I Have a Dream speech (very well, if mutual friends are to be believed) at various commemorative functions.  I asked him how he got by the whole King copyright thing.  He said, as long as he wasn't being paid, no recordings were

End of the world?  Looting, for me!

I have the most difficult time believing this is not a mess of joke photos.  Maybe I'm not doing sex right.

My favorite aspect of this is the sheer savings involved.  You couldn't film a movie at a fifth-rate amusement park without paying hefty rentals, working on their timetable, etc.  And you could NEVER pay Disney enough to film in their parks, without at the very least their script approval, tons of money, and their

Sorry.  Warn me next time.

He's got extra President experience, if you count The Groove Tube, and who doesn't?

I've only seen a couple eps of SVU, but… Belzer is the reason I ever started watching Homicide.  At the time I (and I guess most people) only knew him from his standup and a few comedic roles, and I was curious to see what kind of tv cop he'd make.
He was great.  Part of that was how well the role was written, part of

I've seen Prancer several times (have it on dvd, have daughters) though it's been a few years.  It's treacly, predictable, manipulative…. and good.  Elliott really does put in quite a performance, much more emotional than you'd expect.
