That was contributed by a completely different writer whom I had never heard of before and had nothing to do with the weekly Robot Chicken reference here. Do you see this site as written by one guy with one viewpoint?

This is why I hate having any real conversation on this site. It inevitably devolves into someone coming in with no real point to name-call. Your post to me reads: "I'm not particularly clever and I don't like you." Congratulations.

I guess the joke here is that you invented a super obscure origin for the phrase and thus subverted our expectations.

No, you didn't have a reason to do it until I mentioned it. But your story is that you never did, even after I told you there was a connection. It took Jay S. to tell you before you stopped feigning ignorance. When, if it were me, I'd have googled that stuff myself because I hate to be caught unaware.

This new crop of reviewers are a bunch of Negative Nellies.

You're kidding, right? It's not like it's a time-honored turn of phrase. And I assume that at the very least, a person who makes a living writing for the internet would be tech savvy enough to google "what a twist" and "Shyamalan" long before someone had to comment to you explaining where the phrase originated.

Every week, twice a week. Did you think you came up with the phrase "what a twist!"?

Why, it's Q-rating is up 200%, man! Have you been living under a rock?

Super agree.

That description sounds brilliant! How meta.

I don't think you know what "below" means.

Gosh, I can't wait for the three other Newswires about Arrested Develpement today!

Amy just knows she's going to hate The Great Gatsby? Why?
Because Mr. and Mrs. America are excited to see it and she's (hand movements) different.
Also special.

And a painting can't compare with a photograph. That doesn't mean that there are some paintings that are great, if not photo-realistic. Realism is overrated. Especially in film. If you want a movie that is real, go see a documentary.

It isn't actually the worm; it's the blue microscopic creatures that are the mental hook-up. They're midi-chlorians, basically. And the beginning is the human testing phase. They make it look like a cool new drug so the kids will try it, but it's just a group study. Which is why the kids do the synchronized dance

If you had already heard of that flatworm maze study, Upstream Color was a pretty straight forward film.
