"We must never seek control of the motherland"

It's a pretty good movie for most of the running time, until the end, which dissolves into a shoot-out.  Similar to the ending of LA Confidential or Collateral: you've got cat-and-mouse games played between 2 guys, battles of wits, but then who wins is just determined by who shoots the other guy first.  The things…

In the opening credits sequences, the initial line is "See you on some other channel," which at the time there was no hope of but eventually came true, and the clip on the big screen that the Planet Express ship crashes into at the end, which before had always been some classic cartoon from the 40's or whatever, is of…

I would never say SF is restricted to any subject, but politics is incredibly pervasive as a subject or subtext in SF.  I would say it's probably SF's single most common theme.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Yeah.  The only reason I'm still watching it is I was promised it would get put out of its misery soon.

Yeah, but it's a good thing that disco-fied Star Wars theme existed, so that the guy who made the fake trailer for grindhouse Star Wars could use it: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Actually, I was going to try to cut back on the number of times I say that.

The world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.

You see what he's doing there, yes?  I haven't read any of these books, but it seems the zombies will be presented as a super-unstoppable force that'll kill everyone, but then it'll turn out that just killing a few of the zombies' masters will cause all the zombies to kaput.  It's a way to have a danger that seems…

The worst part was watching that old guy say, "I guess I've pretty much wasted my whole life, just frittered it away.  Still, I don't know know what else there is to do with a life except fritter it away."  Because it was like looking into some occult mirror or science fictional time-viewer that shows yourself into…

Y'know, in the original draft of "The Fly", Brundle-fly transforms back into a human being when Geena Davis uses the Power of Love on him.

You can't copyright a title.  There's actually nothing stopping you from making a film called "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" or "Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle" as long as you don't steal any of the elements from those movies and also were an idiot who wanted to give your film a stupid title.

Nick Nightingale?  Sydney Pollack?  The Master of Ceremonies?  The two Asian guys who are fooling around with Leelee Sobrieski?

God didn't die, but he does have high cholesterol.

"Abdul may be a world-famous multi-millionaire surrounded by flunkies, but she sees herself as relentlessly victimized and mistreated, abused and taken for granted. "

So one starts with the idea that the show MUST be realistic, then interpret each scene in light of that fact?

I liked him in that movie where he played a troubled teen.

I've never heard "Somebody I Used to Know" or "Call Me Maybe" and have no idea what they sound like.  They *can* be avoided if you never go anywhere, which I don't.
