    Love it when parents prank their kids! They so deserve it. Always wanting to be fed!

    Great, now when I watch The Simpsons and Homer says he is going to Moe's, it is going to take on a whole new connotation!
  4. Think Adam Baldwin wants to trade Vera for that?
  5. Yep, seems to be some movement in getting a movie made about the ubiquitous search engine

    Y'know what? I am actually intrigued and interested by the Facebook movie, so I can't rule this project out yet.

    I just feel bad that the AskJeeves movie probably won't get off the ground.

    C'mon, quit pulling my leg. That sounds like someone in the third grade would write. Based on his experiences with a bully. Surely, the Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Gray Goblin, Goblin Queen, Dobby, Ricky Bobby, and Bob Dole were all involved some how?

    (By the way, I am just kidding around and rolling my eyes to the explanation).

Then MJ decides they should be together forever, but never marry because he'd be just like her abusive father.
    Bwahahahaha...

    But seriously, what really happens?

    "This is the Captain, we are experiencing some reentry problems, there might some turbulence and then we'll explode."

    Jayne's reaction: "We're gonna explode? I don't wanna explode!"
    Isn't that from the movie, though?

    When I rewatched it, I found myself like Bart and Milhouse when watching Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie:

    "When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?"

    Except, sub-in Chaos Theatre for Fireworks Factory and Scott and Gideon for Itchy and Scratchy.

    Also, I want Todd's Number 3 t-shirt and Gideon's 3 G/Inverted Triforce t-shirt.
  11. Dharma Van goes for $47,000, Oceanic Water Bottles for $1,680

    And that just goes to show why I didn't want to participate. When the opening bids were suggested at $200 dollars, my wallet closed.

    Still very jealous though!
  12. The AV Club invented the term Manic Pixie Dream Girl which describes the female part in a romantic movie that is carefree and drags the straightlaced, no fun male character out of his rut and teaches him to enjoy life. Basically, this female character is supposed to serve as a lesson giver for the male protagnist and doesn't exist in the real world. A walking, crazy plot device, in other words.

    I feel like Ramona in the movie sorta subverts that trope. While she is the literal girl of Scott's dreams and does serve a pseudo-plot device to get to the fighting, she isn't changing Scott's lifestyle. She isn't carefree, comes with her own problems, and isn't bubbly. She's realistic. In fact, it can be argued that Scott is her "Manic Pixie Dream Guy" in that he helps her break free of her own dating trappings and, as Ramona herself says, is someone so unlike who she has ever dated before.

    I am so glad this is a reboot (It is, right?), because I am so confused right now! Marvel's editorial staff isn't even this bad. Close, but not this bad.
    Oh, you know, just like in the comics, Xavier gains and loses the ability to use his legs at the drop of a hat.

    He's the John Locke of comics.

    The Expendables

    The bad guys always lose/die in these sorts of action films.
  15. Once you are done with the series watch the Extended Gag Reel

    My favorite thing from the whole series comes from it: Nathan Fillion running around during the pan around the coffin. Especially Alan Tudyk's reaction to it.
  16. My best friend, who loves that type of music and that song, always thought Thom Yorke was saying "Widow" as well. He was like, "Why would he say he was a widow? That doesn't make any sense!"

    I had to sit him down and say that the lyric is "Weirdo." Then a light went on over his head and he got it.

    A sniper rifle, like a Boombox, is not a toy.

  24. Series first. You don't exactly need to see it before the movie, but the movie was pitched as a pseudo-second season, so there are some character relationships that you come in halfway through their progression.
