Godzilla.

I remember Steve Martin doing a spoof of the Billie Jean video, and the Quaid brothers' "Naughty Lady" sketch where they play two bumpkins trying to score a credit card for phone sex ("We got jobs!  … At the chem-minical company").  Aerosmith lifted the punchline for one of their videos.

Little girl with pizza cutter might be "Don't Go to Sleep."

Best line reading of all time : "The son of Jor-El will be my slave… FOREVER…"

It's what I do for a living, so the answer is yes, she would have been supervised.

As someone with a firsthand knowledge of hyperbaric chambers, I was alarmed when I saw Chekhov's hyperbaric chamber last episode, and relieved when they Didn't Go There.

Yeah but it's one in a string of fantasy films where the theme is YOU ARE SPECIAL and YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE and WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO FIX EVERYTHING JUST BY SHOWING UP.  Twilight series, Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, even LOTR and Star Wars to a degree.  Ugh.  This isn't Mr. Rogers' fault by a damn

Michael Caine and the Cider House Rules was the first person I thought of in this thread.  I can't comment on the accuracy of his Maine accent. But listening him to speak anything but his thick Cockney took me completely out of the movie.  Should established actors/stars not even bother?

I thought it was good, but after all the hype about a great villain and "best Bond in ages," I thought they were finally building to something truly epic in the third act, after the last two films.  The Shanghai-Macau-Whateverisland sequences seemed to suggest this.

SPOILERS For some reason, my 11 year old self was cool with there being a Boogeyman, and every door in the house blowing open during a storm so he could creep in, and three infant deaths sort of being written off… but the Boogeyman pulling off wearing a psychiatrist mask in an office building through a whole session?

I love that story because it neatly sums up human nature.  There will never be a perfect crime, because at some point, you'll have to blab!

The Boogeyman was the worst.  Even hearing a friend tell the story before I read it was nightmare-inducing.
