In Royal Tenenbaums, there's this scene near the end, where Ben Stiller and his son's dog has just gotten run over. Ben's down on his knees next to the new dog Royal has just bought them the dalmation from the fire fighters, he pats the dog and says "I've had a rough year, dad." and it just kills me every time.

Since we didn't have cable until I was in high school, the only place I could watch MST3k was at my grandparent's house. Whenever we visited them I would come up with any reason possible to avoid leaving the house if MST3k was going to be on.

How could I disagree with an LL comeback?
Ladies love cool james, fellas, ladies love cool james.

Just piling on more "Yeah, seriously, Babe: Pig in the City" etc.

At some point in my woeful teenage junior high years, I picked up Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters and later Witches Abroad. These books changed my life because I had finally found female role models in a fantasy book that were realistic and inspiring. In an ode to MacBeth, no less.

As a huge The Cure fan, even I can admit that lately they're not doing anything I want to listen to (Wild Mood Swings had some good stuff on it, I think.)

I have a couple of friends who have a serious aversion to cringe-comedy (which is probably not an actual genre name). I think it helps to have some some emotional context for those of us who aren't affected in the same way.

I enjoyed Planet Terror far more than I enjoyed Death Proof.

I think Rollen has a fair point up there - a lot of people I know are willing to go for either sci-fi or fantasy but not both at the same time.
