I just call it “Taranto”, and pretend I’m in Italy.

Wait, there’s a dead body in Rope?! Spoilers!

...Is *that* what “The Oogum Boogum Song” is about?

This is clearly just a rip-off of my as-of-yet unfinished script, “Dial T For Time Travel”, which is about Owen Wilson (played by himself, hopefully) keeps receiving time calls from his future self which hint obliquely at some terrible fate which may befall him if he doesn’t act now, but whenever Wilson tries to pin…

You know, ‘the Losers’ totally should have won the HCBMGM Best Picture Award, but they gave it to ‘Satan’s Sadists’ instead. What a rip-off!

Yes, I know you already explained how it happened, but I’m still sticking to my version of events.

Ew, no. Have you seen his Nexus? It’s all hairy.

Blander Jimmy Olsen? Shit, he’s a blander Snapper Carr!

Come up to the lab, and see what’s on the slab.
