No, no; just split the last one into two movies. Problem solved.

Hey, also the unemployable, drunkards and decaying nerds.

I dunno, he looks pretty South Carolina.

Exactly, this and Manimal.

It's a way to spend a few hours with your awful relatives that doesn't wind up as another drunken series of accusations, crying jags and fistfights. What are you, against Christmas?

Well, I'm already bent over in pain.

Sure; not everyone has to function logically. Emotions, temptation, illness - all kinds of perfectly good reasons. It's the "whose sole purpose is to advance the plot" that's the problem.

Not TMZ, that's for sure. You gotta keep the clearly-provable supernatural stuff under wraps, because otherwise they'd bring in scientists and researchers and then your movie is just boring lectures.

We call those "years".

And Gozo is the best name any of them could come up with?

I'd say suspicious tread tracks and odd, grasping bruises that appeal almost to have been caused by metal would count as "natural". Happens all the time to older folk.

I wonder how hard it is to get that permission? Can you just send a letter to the commission or something?

If there's evidence somehow of them actually using his text or narrow plot beats, maybe? Probably just a quiet settlement of what winds up being not that much money.

People always say "don't date robots", but you know it's gonna happen, and happen a lot, so why fight it? Clearly no human will ever love you, why not find out if metal is better than meat?

There was probably someone who saw Predator II and that alien skull and didn't think of an Alien vs Predator movie, but I've yet to meet them.

No, he's post Perestroika, so the new system is monarchy-led barter.

Imagine if telepaths took over and they said you can do anything you want, so long as it's not stupid (and they'd know, being telepaths). We'd die out in a month.

You might get sued for copyright violation if you charged anyone a nickel to see it, if that's what you mean?
