I liked his easy slide into punditry: "The disputed islands lie HERE, off the coast of Argentina…"

Let's hear it for forestalling and regrating! Not to mention engrossing.

"Technically, I think it's called a voulge." If he'd managed to get the Bohemian ear-spoon in there he'd have had the polearm trifecta.

Dammit. Ezmo beat me to it, just when I was trying to google up a quote about how he was not going to submit to space-Nazi chastisement any more.

Definitely needs Pliny. Perhaps he could kill Sutherland's character by shoving his face in the pyroclastic cloud while sneering something witty.

Forgive me please for driving so …

It's New Orleans, so the choice is clear. The institution will be a brothel. The hauntedest, sexiest, voodoo-est, chicken-bloodiest brothel on the bayous! Murphy should also see how much of 90s Anne Rice he can rip off before anyone notices.

The missing four hours from Bondarchuk's 'Waterloo'. Also, a version of the Swans' cover of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' that doesn't cut out at 2:51, but not the Jarboe version or the five minute version with a drum machine screwing things up. But I then I heard that the cut-out version was the only one, and I was sad.

Agreed on B). When I was a teenager one of the (many) reasons I had for deciding 'not to be gay' was that I wasn't good-looking enough to make a go of it.

Which is why I found his response to be lacking a certain something.

I get the impression that he doesn't think Gomer is good enough for his baby. It's nice to see that hetero or homo doesn't matter: Dads hate boyfriends. And suspected boyfriends.

… and besides, the sheep is dead.

Yeah, that was bad. Note to Americans: Quebecois do not sound like French people. They sound like agitated ducks.

Pfffft. Like you ever listened to Fall Out Boy in your life …

Liked for use of "whilst".

A consolation of dildos it is. I think 'quiver' works better for vibrators.

"In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
