Interesting. All I know is it brought a shit-eating grin to my face when it dropped on screen.

There's no way the ipod fight scene in Ant Man set to the lovely opening keyboard wash of Plainsong off of The Cure's Disintegration wasn't Edgar Wright.

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that Mario Weinerroither's got a sick sense of humor.

"You know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2-D2 make a sound, like this…"

But is Chevy Chase back? After that SNL40 appearance, I have a feeling he needs that hot tub most of all!

I have never not bet on black since I first saw this in the theater.

The Rich Hall monitor forces you to stay after class to read the latest book of Sniglets!

Oh yeah. I mean my scenarios were more to do with overactive imagination rooted in pure fun - very much the opposite spectrum of what I imagine the Teabaggers et al envision when they think of this stuff. At least I hope so. Damn, that just made my 14-year old self shiver with repulsion.
