What if I call you Betty.
Betty when you're ready you can call me AL.

"Emotions are alien to me. I am a scientist." I could kick Roddenberry's ass for that line. Scientists are scientists because of the emotion called curiosity. An unemotional Vulcan would not become a scientist, he wouldn't wonder why things are the way they are.
I love Spock, but it set a persistent that bothers me.
I'm

Child actors are a pain, lots of union rules. If the plot doesn't need them, leave them out.

I'm desperately hoping that Black Magic Woman will drive that fish song out of my head.

I hardly ever see ZMF these days. He got a girlfriend or something.

Invisibility would be like the internet. It could be used for good, but most people would use it the look at naked women all day.

The split between reptiles and mammals was waaay back there. I'd have to drag out my Vert Paleontology textbook. I think it was the spilt between anapteds and diapteds.
What ever he is, I wish he would put some pants on. This is a kid's show, you know.

For a horror movie you should go with "The Guest of Nan Goldin". The part where her junky boyfriend goes apeshit is not for the faint of heart.

Its not a floor wax, its a desert topping!
Actually, Syfy would be a good name for a combo floor wax/desert topping.

The Hater, they were talking about trading cards.

I hate to tell you this, But gnomes are short.

So is that a real poncho? I mean is that a Mexican poncho or a Sears poncho?

Translation is more art than science anyway. How bad does a translation need to be to be unacceptable?

I've heard that Willie smokes some powerful weed. I've also heard that Snoop Dog's weed will put the average person in a coma.
Of course, Willie's weed would be natural and organic where as Snoop's may be chemically enhanced.

Wasn't there an interview with Bruce Dern recently? He came across as a grand old bullshitter who was a lot of fun if you didn't take him too seriously.

Amen to Vanishing Point. Also the Mad Max movies. Car chases in the desert are great. Its almost abstract: car, road speed.

The most intense finger I ever saw given was in Buckaroo Bonzi. Christopher Loyd's whole body shook from the force of it.

Moonshine these days contains lead. The stills are soldered together and old car radiators are used as condensers. There was a time when hillbillies took pride in their work, now they're as short sighted as Wall street bankers.

The opening music sounds like Fine Young Cannibals as covered by a homeless vet in a subway station.

If you don't have any fur, you can't have a furburger!
How can you have a furburger without any fur!
