Yes. Everyone dies. Some in more predictable ways than others. One or two in meaningful, truly sad moments. But of course, as should be expected knowing we don’t see any of these characters in later films, everyone dies.

It’s basically the plot of Halo: Reach with a Star Wars skin. Sub Cortana in for the Death Star…

The China/Tibet angle boils down to the almighty dollar: China refuses to recognize Tibet as its own nation, claiming that they own it. Tibet disagrees. Also, China is becoming a HUGE market for movie releases. They add a massive amount to the worldwide gross figures for new releases, but they’re picky about what…

WOW I commented without realizing that this post was 3 years old. I wish kinja would let me delete instead of only editing.

“Taquería” is a real word. The suffix “-ía” on Spanish words tends to denote a place where something is sold. Tacos (and other similar foods) are sold at a taquería. Shoes (zapatos) are sold at a zapatería (shoe store), coffee (café) is sold at a cafetería, and books (libros) are sold at a librería. That last one…

Different word origins. “Douche” is French (meaning “Shower”), and in French single Es on the ends of words are generally silent (unless a diacritic denotes otherwise). “Douche” or “Meringue” or “Pastiche” vs. “résumé” or “fiancé, ” for example.

I REALLY want to see the one-man MacBeth. When the hell did that happen?

Since the chart dates of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Time After Time” don’t at all overlap with the the releases of “Spy Kids” of “X2,” and all of those happened after Mary Poppins, I’m with Burneko, It’s A Burner, and Welsman 13 on this one: There has never been a time where both Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper…

I agree 100%. To me it’s a lot prettier than the R32, taking the simple, elegant lines of the R32 and giving them a bit more character and flow. The R34 got a bit boxier and that appeals to me less.

FUUUUUUCK YEEEESSSSSSSSS

Hell yes. instead of a casket in the back, just the biggest engine that will fit.

I see it as pretty vulgar, in a way. It’s a Mercedes soccer-mom-mobile, so to me, it says, “I’ve got Mercedes money but I don’t give a shit about cars, since I picked the minivan-ish one of their lineup. I’m teaching my progeny to be brand whores and look down their noses at anything that doesn’t come from Germany…

I was thinking an R-Class would have a bit more room for the niños, along with whatever else might need hauling that won’t fit in the Miata. Not sure it meets the “fast” requirement, as I have no experience with Mercedes vehicles.

He could spend the rest of the budget on making it faster and end up with a muscle hearse. I love it.

THANK YOU. So much more informative than what’s in the main post.

I never understood the Emmitt Smith bit he used to put in here. Granted, I’ve only heard Smith actually speak a few times, but I don’t recall him butchering words enough to think a joke based on it would make sense. What am I missing?

You mean “in a yuuuuuuuge way.”

Or “bigly.”

It could potentially have opened studios and performers up to a lot of lawsuits. And it would have made their legal names and addresses a matter of public record. So it wasn’t just about the condoms, it was about the Superhero Registration Act as it applies to the adult industry.

This is the best idea I’ve read so far this morning. Then again, I’m a native South Carolinian, so maybe secession just runs in the blood.

Anyway, may I join you? I promise only to bring the delicious cuisine and warm hospitality of my homeland, and none of the…

It would be nice if a few other drivers made sure than he found it as quickly as possible.
