I felt the scene where he first meets ol' whatsherface and his head turns into a wolf's head and his eyes bug way out and steam shoots out from his ears was a pretty touching depiction of young love.

There are actually a surprising number of topless women scattered throughout Waldo books, so.

We also sometimes wrote the number 58008 in our calculators and turned them upside down. This represented the word "boobs", but we had to be careful not to let our math teachers see us use classroom tools to such lewd ends.

Hey, are you me?

No, they kidnapped her once already so they'll be overconfident this time.

His career has really exploded lately.

In fairness to Pierre Morel, that was in the third movie, which he did not direct. Lay the blame at Olivier Megaton's feet for that one.

A French/Albanian stereotype, though…

That's a shame, since the actual action directing is really the worst part of Taken. The staging is pedestrian and indifferent, which makes sense given that they were working around the physical limitations of a man in his 60s but still doesn't exactly jazz me up to see more.

Okay, "Hugh".

As a kid, my parents would always get on my case for my smile looking phony in pictures, and I was always like "THAT'S BECAUSE IT *IS*, JUST TAKE THE FUCKIN' PICTURE!"

If Black Bolt doesn't have the tuning fork on his face, how will we the audience understand that Lockjaw is his dog???

They don't usually get into it much in the comics, but Black Bolt was also "The Gimp" in Pulp Fiction.

Humans may once have been just like the Borg, except for the technology, the collective hive-mind, and the ability to assimilate others into their collective! So, not terribly much like the Borg at all, really.

They're great because they rock pretty hard but they still have that love for Jesus in their hearts, brother!

Whereas the guy playing Black Bolt looks like the dad who is way too into his son's intramural baseball team and is willing to get right up in a 3rd grader's face about it.

They look like if The Addams Family was created by Ed Wood.

He made an arm pose kind of like the Notre Dame mascot and leprechauns are notorious douchebags, so.

I don't buy the versions before the 1980s, tbh. The concept of the "douchebag" seems so rooted in a specific sort of entitled rich white-boy thing (see: pretty much every villain in an '80s movie) that really only came to prominence in that decade. The closest is the '70s guy, and even he is clearly a "sleazeball",

The movie is full of great actors doing the best they can versus what seems to be five or six different script revisions mashed together.
