“Life comes from life; it doesn’t come from non-life,”

"If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker and you were walking on
the sidewalk with him, and he fell… that would be completely
unacceptable."

And the companion:

When I answer, you will know you've dialed enough.

Wow, you get to experience all his jokes for the first time. I'm jealous.

And then one I think about all the time:

'Xylophone is spelled with an “X”. That’s wrong. Xylophone “Zzz” “X?”. I
don’t fuckin’ see it. It should be a “Z” up front. Next time you spell
xylophone, use a “Z”. And if someone says “Hey, that’s wrong,” say “No
it ain’t.” '

Wow, Star Destroyers are really small.

"George R.R. Martin, whose A Song of Ice and Fire novels are the basis for Game of Thrones, is currently writing a companion guide to the books, called A World of Ice and Fire."

I don't know, I just copy and paste stuff.

The upcoming Hunger Games movies will probably feature someone being Philip Seymour Hoffman's character that couldn't even begin to bring the same gravitas or pinnacle to the role.

This whole procedure is the most complicated thing I've ever tried to figure out. And I have a Ph.D. in physics.

Emmy award winning screenwriter (I think) and yet he rightfully gets more praise for his portrayal of basically the definition of a minor character in a tv show that ended 11 years ago.

To my (very limited) knowledge it was only in one or two comic book runs. Luke also turned to the dark side for a while, Boba Fett came back, and I think I remember that the empire had a new star destroyer that could blow up anything, anywhere in the galaxy at any time. You can try to ignore all that crap, however…

I remember when I lost my faith in some aspects of nerd culture. I was discussing the EU and how I really didn't like that they brought back the emperor and the biggest nerd I've ever met explains to me in great detail that it was ok because yada yada … and then explains the plot of the story and how it made sense. …

It's pretty sad, but I think I learned more about the basics of storytelling and film from those reviews than I ever did in school or anywhere else.

Remember in the original trilogy when Lucas was such a perv that he had Jedi potential siblings making out? And then in the prequels he'd become such a prude that Jedis were celibate and Natalie Portman wouldn't screw Anakin because, quote: 'I'm a Senator'. What happened there? I know this doesn't really relate to…

'OK Harrison, here's my directorial advice for shooting. Can we replace your weed with coke for a month or so so that you can, like, emote maybe?'

'One other person is typing…' I'm assuming 'No, it was the slackers who needed to eat lead.'

No, he just floats upright next to people as they walk around in very poorly done special effects. And nobody comments on it and it has no plot purpose. That's my new dream.
