Thinks: Aaagh! I just said "slaves" to my new black girlfriend!

"both of them screaming in unison as they realize they’re driving on the wrong side of the highway"

I laugh at your pain.

I have seen the airplane version of this movie, which has the car rental scene, much briefer, with much milder dialog - and different jokes. It was too long ago for me to remember what the jokes were, sadly.

Yeah, haven't you seen Wolf Creek? Don't be fooled by the roguish smile and the way they call you "mate". Look at them the wrong way, they'll glass ya.

Comedy porn, that's what we want. Let's get some decent writers in there!

So, your whole life is just based on a bunch of movies?

All together now….

I was going to mention that! I only saw My Blue Heaven once, when it came out, and I remember being weirded out at Martin not playing to type. I also remember his telling line, "Everybody THINKS they have a sense of humour."

"Metallica will do anything for money."

A character who is super-awesome is not necessarily a Mary Sue. The label only applies if the character is a thinly disguised avatar of the writer.

Also apparently World War Two has been made into a film.

Triumph of the Will is VERY BORING. Great film maker, my arse.

Weird, it's a very short book already.

American Tabloid > Libra.

Decriminalisation.

A political message can be READ INTO anything, but whether the message is INHERENT is quite another matter. For instance, I could rouse up a decent argument that Two and a Half Men is an allegory about the social traps of economic dependency - but I wouldn't, because that would be stupid.

MY LEGS! YOU'VE BROKEN MY LEGS!

Internet says Hedwig is an owl. Hermione killed an owl? What?
