While CancerAIDS has not been a sufficient deterrent, this might be going overboard.

I ate a cheeseburger at Arby's once as a child. It was so bad that I felt guilty for my parents having to pay for it.

I don't know, as I remember it at least half the original film is about people receiving guests and telling them where the bathroom is.

And how does she keep tripping over that one couch? She's lived there for years and it's never moved, yet each week over she goes! Completely absurd.

Ooh, stalkers writing books is an underexamined niche. "A Life From 500 Yards Away", "1001 Ways To Let Your Soul Mate Know You Care Without Getting Arrested"…

Ooh, that's a good one. I think they were intentionally trying to make Tom Hanks greasy and unappealing, which makes it one of the strangest moments of miscasting since Tiptoes.

I want to chop that off and hollow it out to make a canoe.

How on Earth did they film it in the 1700s?

Nerd is as nerd does.

They couldn't think up enough ways for George Bush (that's what the "W" means, right?) to be menacing in that room to fill an episode, so they went "ah fuck it, we'll use what we have and slap together something to get him out and about with Denise. We got way more psycho's tour material than bottled maniac material.

My mother always said that life is like rolling a twenty-sided die.

It is indeed a one "fuck" limit for a PG-13, so long as it has no sexual connotations. I remember the makers of The Bourne Identity talking about it in a commentary track.

Yeah, everyone knows Jesus's mutant power is to turn the wine you drink and the cracker you eat into his blood and flesh while it is in your stomach. Tricks You Into Cannibalism Man away!

The thing is that like Dune, no adaptation can hope to capture the intricacies of the world and what's going on in it, while still making it interesting. You'd have constant little digressions giving piecemeal information about all the factions and languages and places in the world. And watching a movie, you can't put

Rabin should be ashamed that he makes this film sound so much like a fun slice of misguided insanity, instead of the dull misguided slog I've heard it to be. Now I'm going to watch it, and I just KNOW it's going to be a horrible mistake, and it's going to be all his fault.

Oh I hate the synth bits. Not only do they sound awful, but they're tied to the action like it was Scooby Doo. I feel that they were added in during editing, when some producer said "The audience can't possibly understand that this is an action scene! Bring in Knopfler and chain him to a Casio keyboard!" For

It's a slippery slope. First he's sterilizing little kids, next week he'll be searching for genitals in the toaster. "We cannot risk the danger that the defective genes that make it burn on one side while the other side is left raw will be passed on to future generations! Also what devilry has made it so that we have

We can only pray to the gods that they all be so. If there comes a mime that doesn't conform to the bounds of the invisible box or can't be beaten back by imaginary wind, there'll be no limits to their mayhem.

The book ended very similarly to the film in the original submission to the publisher, before the coda with Snitter was added. It'd be nice to know if Adams ever talked about what was going into that and why he didn't want that coda (the film change certainly came about from Adams talking to Rosen), but I feel that it

The Plague Dogs is incredible, a huge leap on every front from Watership Down, and it makes me so sad Rosen never made another film after 1987 (though I do need to check out his live-action work). But the very first scene is a dog paddling in a pool with no exit and slowly drowning, and it goes down from there.
