@avclub-7c3fc7b36ca0b50e93de38d73329b7cf:disqus Yeah, in the circles I run in a Niemoller paraphrase is usually a gesture of solidarity.

I thought maybe @avclub-5c3b44401b674811b5e8088e1a24e7a5:disqus had your back there? I don't know, I'm from New Zealand and live in Australia so this is all fascinating to me. I now know never to call a Jewish girl 'princess'!

Hank used to be now he's too cool for that sort of thing. He used to be all "Go Team Venture!" but now he's all "Go Team… Boobies!"

@avclub-85d8ce590ad8981ca2c8286f79f59954:disqus , in @avclub-6d632b0a3481511636328c61155681b4:disqus 's defense I have seen every episode of the show and did a rewatch before the Halloween special last year and even I was a little confused at the start of this one because it started the morning after Operation…

There is no clip of that quote on youtube, alas.

All I want to do is listen to Contact for the rest of my life but the rest of my life keeps getting in the way.

I hope Patrick Warburton gets a new regular paycheck to make up for however much this gave him. Spade, however, is richer than he rightfully should be due to the baffling success for/sequel of 'Grown Ups'.

This was beautiful, 100% agreed.

Songs whose unexpected changes threw me the first time:

The book initially had a passage that expalined what happened to the girls (and the teacher), I think it was published as a stand-alone novella. From memory there's a sypnosis of it on Wikipedia, it's suitably creepy but both book and film are better without it.

She could write the sequel to the Big Butt Book: The Awesome Ass Omnibus

Yeah, I once read an interview with Barbara Cartland where she said that Qadaffi was a huge fan and would write to her frequently… I really want someone who can corraborate that story to add an 'influenced' section to her Wikipedia article with his name only.

In my curmodgeonly opinion, there is little to nothing that is 'cool' about Vin Diesel.

Grew up in New Zealand

Via the linked Wikipedia article:

Paraphrasing Simpsons quotes on film reviews is a young man's game, @avclub-72a8ab4748d4707fda159db0088d85de:disqus … and it also helps if the review pops up at 3pm when you're bored at work.

If he's so great, how come he's dead?

Well, the NZ Government put heaps of money into (and gutted certain employment relations laws for) The Hobbit, which arguably paints New Zealand in a worse light than Australia does for Oz.

@avclub-9349e20458f64c9bfb83b5221e145937:disqus My 'sudden hate' for Moulin Rouge occured about 30 minutes into the film. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm not one of the people with a need for self-conscious, over-the-top stylised camp so there's that.

Damn, I was sure we'd get a Spoiler Space on this one… how else am I going to find out how the film ends?
