Why the sarcasm? The hoo-hah-toothed space dong was clearly indicating that it was friendly by showing its teeth, and inviting them to play by rearing up and hissing  The only mistake that guy made was that he neglected the balls when he grabbed the shaft.

I hope he's not in the sequel - he should stop while he's a head.

You know what I'm doing now?
I'm doing nothing.
I'm talking to nobody.
Because there is a dead man on the other end of this phone.

Also, it's been a while since I saw this, so I can't speak to the quality of the dialogue, but I don't remember the female characters being "just there to be bitches". Kilmer, Pacino and Dennis Haysbert (the driver from the robbery) all have wives that want them to stop doing the ridiculously dangerous things they do…

Without women… what are you, a monk?

I almost get what you mean about T2. I mean, the effects are pretty much flawless, and the image quality (film stock? lens filters?) are clearly 90s… but the clothes and hairstyles feel kind of anachronistic. Then again, rewatch Terminator 1 (1984; sequel was 1991) and then you remember what 80s hair really looked…

Hey. Give the man his jelly.

That sounds more Movie Logical than the actual film. Say one of the people near the scene has one of those fancy-schmancy 90s "cellphones", and their first thought, in the days before Twitter and reality TV, is to call directory assistance and contact a news network. For some reason the network takes this cockamamie…

I'd call it perfect if it didn't have that lame cliche about "the flipside to that coin." Ooh, I'm cringing just thinking about it. I will never understand how a line so childishly shitty was allowed to stay when everything else about the film is so fuck-off fantastic.

In many jurisdictions the statute of limitations doesn't apply to criminal charges; only to civil cases.

This. I'm a sub-editor on medical journals, and I've had a medic send in a paper which not only represented a 6/2/1 split as a percentage for no good reason, but then decided to round it off to 70/20/10%.

I pity Emma Freud, the only known person to have a name that rhymes with "haemorrhoid".

@avclub-4062ca1a9a61557b7f985ee3e22b8d2c:disqus No it didn't. That story is old as hell, and the unnecessary detail of the African-American vernacular doth protest too much. I'd say it was never true to begin with even if the "quote" wasn't clearly made up by someone who didn't know what AAVE sounded like (the…

It'x xeriously difficult talking like xhis, all updated for the 90s.

*gasp* Media as a plural noun? 
*fans self with hands to mitigate wet-knickered hot flush*

@avclub-2a3e953a5e3d81e67945bce5519f84c8:disqus I think this whole argument may be territorial. I'm guessing you're American? Dahl's books are known there, but in the UK (and probably elsewhere too), they're a sacred cow. Burton's movie would totally have been made if it weren't for Wilder's; it's like saying the…

Yeah, me too. There's something about Campfire Headphase that feels just too same-same for me, and I feel bad for thinking that, because it's such a dismissive attitude. But it did make me start to think maybe I just didn't "need" another BoC album.

So far I haven't seen one page (paper or Web) about this album that hasn't mentioned John Carpenter somewhere.

@avclub-349b4d0760cb85b962fa79800c168927:disqus * whence they came
"Whence" already means "from where".

I suppose it's the inevitable result of pasting a cartoon character into an otherwise un-cartoony show.
