I didn't expect THAT
So does this end in one of the three ways every other Star Trek story ever produced does?

A taint can apply to either sex. If's it's specifically a female taint it can also be described as a "bunt".

I resent the white Russian quip. White Russians are the euphemism for the Czarist Russians that lost the civil war with the Bolsheveks. I was the head of the KGB! You don't get that being a monarchist counter-revolutionary lap dog toady!

I'm not sure if they made it to the final cut, but the answers are 4 and yes.

I want the Jay Leno one!
Just so I can melt it's face with a blowtorch and reenact the ending to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I've enjoyed watching UFC and its ilk and do have to admit that a lot of the time it looks pretty homoerotic (especially when they go to the ground and one guy is in "bottom guard", hee hee hee!). But if you still find it erotic when some guy catches a crescent kick to the head and goes out like a light with blood…

Actually with the "W"-shaped pattern in relation to age and mortality, it's only all the 20-40 year olds that are going to die. The world will be entirely populated by teenagers and middle-aged people!

A remake of Brazil would be the final provocation that would make me go full Unabomber on Movie Studio execs.

I for one would pay $9.50 to see Katy Perry burn her tits with lit cigarettes.

Ha! My girlfriend is 1000 miles away so I get to masturbate alone in a dark room AND get asked if I think of her while I'm doing it!

Ellison is notorious for holding grudges for years. As an example, a friend of mine met Ellison in a hotel bar years ago and without knowing who he was, got in some esoteric conversation about sci-fi authors that ended with them screaming at each other and getting kicked out.

I'm torn
At first glance a Rodriguez Predator reboot could be overwhelmingly kick ass. On the other hand, this does encourage Hollywood's bankruptcy of new ideas by remaking any movie that made more than a few bucks.

Murderers! Assasins!
For some reason my friends and I thought screaming that in the middle of a crowd was the height of hilarity.

If his roles are making him sick….
Miami Vice must have given him the raging shits for months.

I WHIPPED IRONMAN"S ASS!!!

Lots of pot and beer did make it so I was too inebriated to claw my own eyes out.

Technique is nothing more than failed style

flogging the horse's bones
Noel, you touch on the reason I don't read superhero comics anymore either. Both Marvel and DC's attempts to shoehorn increasingly cryptic backstory into most of their titles seems to only dissuade the casual reader. It seems that with very few exceptions (some you mention) the story…

And you even provide a pull quote. A professional to the end, ZMF.
