The old text-only Infocom games from the '80s always had pithy and sometimes lewd responses for vulgar inputs. They were designed to inspire frustration so always had a snappy response ready for the inevitable "fuck you" sent their way.

I think Balk was about 14 or 15 when it was filmed. That whole storyline works better than in Dangerous Liaisons because Uma Thurman is too mature and graceful — she'd just played Venus in Baron Munchausen fercrissakes.

Far from being a liability, Biden is about the perfect VP. He doesn't mind staying in the background most of the time; he's happy to be butt of the jokes that VPs are usually expected to be; he's not so ambitious that he's seen undercutting the President's authority; he's a great team player; and he could step right…

I think Duluth, MN, followed by a Q&A by the director is even odder. I like Duluth just fine but it's hardly an alt-cinema destination.

Juice was also the one who Photoshopped the fat city council member's eyes open after the deal with the trans prostitute a few episodes ago. Any time they need a computer guy they call on Juice.
