Do you know the way to San Jose?

One would assume that would be the mark of a fairly lousy Seeker.  Seriously, wouldn't his teammates give him a heads-up or something?

Good point.  I admit to enjoying the famed 'I have had enough of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!' line.

I am beginning to genuinely despise the 'cool story, brah' meme.  Let the man tell a story, for God's sakes.  Noone's making you read this stuff.

Ugh.  I was truly embarrassed by Joaquin Phoenix's attempt to act in that movie.  Considering that he was quite good in 'Walk the Line', I wonder whether he is a one note performer, or if that movie was a fluke, or what.

Yeah, I also liked Gladiator a lot less than I thought I would given the raves it was getting, but that scene was pretty great.  One clarification, though: the battle was against the Germanic tribes, not the Gauls.  Gaul had been long conquered by the tenure of Marcus Aurelius.

I also don't understand the hate given to 500 Days of Summer.  I find it perfectly good as to what it does and what it represents.

The scene where he gets shot in the eyeball is also pretty great.

Oooooh, The Avengers!  What an awful, awful, film.  Anyway, I would nominate that scene at the very beginning where Steed is a traditional Englishman on a brisk walk through a very traditional English country village.  Only it turns out that everyone is a special ops agent trying to kill him.  I found that the only

Interesting theory, and, if true, quite the fortunate paradox.

Maybe so, but Qui-Gon had a reputation for unorthodoxy within the Jedi Order, and Darth Maul was the living embodiment of rage.  They surely could have done something more than watching them engage in a passionless fight.

I agree with the Kelley scene, but would strongly dispute the 'Why does God need a starship?' scene.  That isn't an insightful question, it's an obvious one.    It should have occurred to everyone there as soon as the God-being asked it.  Instead, everyone (including Spock!) looks at Kirk like he's some sort of genius

Attack of the Clones.

While most of Obi-Wan's battle with General Grievous was tiresome, when he drops down and delivers a note-perfect tribute to Alec Guinness by saying 'Hello, there', I had shivers.

To defend the second Death Star, the first Death Star was a good idea ruined by bad execution; namely, neglecting to put a grate over the exhaust port.  No reason they shouldn't try it again.

I would argue that it was justifiable ham.  The guy had just pulled off the destruction of the Jedi, something the Sith had been trying to do for thousands of years.  Besides, watching him cackle with glee as he threw pieces of the Senate at Yoda was so damned entertaining to watch.

That was my great Christmas gift one year.  I loved the concept, but never had enough friends available to play it.  Such is the curse of the board game aficionado…

Fluttershy: Great gimmick commenter or best gimmick commenter ever?  You be the judge!

Someone who is deliberately trying to aggravate you, frequently by exploiting the game mechanics.  Examples of griefing include deliberately killing members of your own team, trapping other players elsewhere, or following you around with no other purpose but to insult you or ask you for money.

This…  This is beautiful.  I wish I could like this comment a quadjillion times.
