I can think of only one scene that actually made me throw up a little, and one that made me so uncomfortable and disgusted and sad that I never need to see the movie again.

"When Grand Moff Tarkin die, nobody cry. But when Feyd Rautha die, everybody gonna cry!"

"And this is ultimately my problem with doing all special effects with
CGI - how can you achieve that same gritty look, if it's not an actual
object that's been sitting out in the sun in Tunisia, getting
sandblasted?"

"Caught this live last night by accident."

I can at least defend the "I hate that I have to get up for work so early" joke, which was accompanied another such remark just a moment before and was about getting people who have outstayed their welcome on Thanksgiving to please get the hell out of your house.

My wife and I lost two cats on the same day this past July, one 20 years old, the other 16. (The former was in end stage renal disease, but the latter was a complete surprise, with a sudden diagnosis of untreatable intestinal lymphoma.) We have another cat at home, but we could not bear the thought of taking both…

Ay-yi-yi! No es bueno! "Mysterious Voyage" is easily in my Top 20 of All Time. Even if, story-wise, it's not the greatest, the lines and the jokes are so great, you almost don't notice. Consider:

I know, right?

History once removed
The house my wife and I bought in 2007, in Cleveland Heights, OH, was previously owned by Bella Siegel, first wife of Jerry, and their son Michael. The two of them have almost completely disappeared from the Siegel biography in favor of his second wife Joanne.

You have your story and I have mine. We'll let the courts sort this out.

It blows my mind that anyone ever think they are anything but super advanced robots. The statue by the sign outside the company looks EXACTLY like those robots. (see, e.g., http://www.dvdtalk.com/revi… When David first exits the elevator in the apartment, he's shot unfocused in a way that makes him look EXACTLY like…

The lake scene genuinely is absolutely terrifying, for as short as the actual violence lasts. Especially because once he starts stabbing the female victim, Cecelia Shepard, he seems to go into an absolute frenzy before the camera cuts away. Most people don't remember that BOTH victims survived the attack, but she…

Missed meta-joke opportunity
When Segel said "and one rock opera" I really wanted him to finish off with "about Dracula, with puppets."

A great current practitioner of this sound
Cleveland's Afternoon Naps are very much in the sunshine pop mold, specifically calling out Yellow Balloon and the Left Banke in their band bio. They've built quite a nice little local following and have gotten some regional exposure as well: http://www.facebook.com/Aft…

And also, Rick Springfield did your song better than you did, so there.

This fuckin' guy
"What happened was when Eddie heard my vocal range, he got inspired and started busting out keyboards. . . . Dave was great with screaming over the top of a good hard riff—that's his forte and where his limitations were. Whereas I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song,…

Orr sang Just What I Needed, Bye Bye Love and Drive from among their most popular songs, but Ocasek sang pretty much everything else that people know: Shake It Up, My Best Friend's Girl, You Might Think, Magic, Since You're Gone, Good Times Roll, You're All I've Got Tonight, etc.

I saw them just a couple of weeks ago in Cleveland and Chauntelle stuck with one guitar throughout. But at the very beginning of the show, Sherri dropped her guitar, breaking a string and injuring her foot, so they had to open with "I Wasn't Prepared" while their roadie restrung her guitar. Irony!

Some day we'll find it, the Jar Jar connection . . .
Along with some action bits from The General, Lucas's ILM team used portions of this film to come up with business for Jar Jar Binks during the Battle of Naboo scenes in Episode I. The portion from about 2:00 to 2:05 may as well have been rotoscoped for the scene in…

Time Travel!!
The method of time travel used by Steve was either subtle mockery of or subtle tribute to Jack Finney's novel, "Time and Again," right down to the hotel room lit like a movie set and the self-hypnosis. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
