You won't believe who you have to sleep with to get that three-star rating. (A: Ernest Borgnine)

Don't forget Black Hitler.

Yeah, he had a few good moments, like after the montage of Actors Being Very Serious About Acting. He just stares into the camera, stone-faced, and says "I've never felt any of those things." Then he just stares, right up to the point of being uncomfortable, and it's pretty well done. Then he ruins it by laughing at…

Dave Thomas is another high point of "Rat Race."

DDB, I think some of us thought you were trolling because of the somewhat adversarial nature of your first post. I apologize if I read it wrong.

RumblingJoker, I think you (and DDB) are right about SW creating this industry phenomenon of the spectacle blockbuster. But it's not as if 2001, or even Star Trek: The Motion Picture, was the typical sci-fi film before that. Those kinds of films were rare then, too, is what I guess I'm getting at.

Add me to the list of shameless GBII lovers. But it can't be helped. The first one was the first movie I ever saw in a theater; I was five! I was scared shitless of it, which then translated into an intense love, as objects of great fear often do. So, when I saw the sequel a mere five years later, I loved it. I think,…

I am not really a fan of Star Wars, and am obsessed with Kubrick in general and 2001 in particular. And I don't really get the point of DDB's post (other than trolling). 2001 was better sci-fi than Star Wars? Stop the presses!

Yeah, I love the first "Oh my god" from Jerry, then the second one from George takes up a level. He suddenly goes from being embarrased and having to explain a weird situation to not knowing what the hell is happening/suddenly realizing what's happening.

Move along, Sally.

That sounds right, from what I remember. And I'm guessing it has other movie-related functions that may or may not be useful to those who make films. But this kind of nonsense is getting tiresome.

Actually, Ugly Truth, have you read a Spider-Man comic? 'Cause that guy has kind of a fucked-up life.

Yeah, if some group of people wants to get together and count how many times "fuck" appears in a movie and inform the public, let them. It gets dumb when they're making decisions for other people's kids, or telling theaters what's acceptable to what age group.

Or, we could just not have an MPAA. That seems like kind of an easy fix.

To be fair to the MPAA, MarkInTexas, the human body is a shameful thing that should be hidden at all times, and certainly never referenced in a sexual manner.

And, of course, the shout of "Plum!" as the phone is hanging up is great.

Yeah, I always just thought the kids harassing Kramer were just kids who lived in the building. This isn't exactly that difficult to piece together.

Use the beeps!

I'm not sure how Newman imagining Kramer as a cooked turkey is different than Kramer imagining Jerry being executed by the feds for stealing cable.

"I can hear you."
