"I want a horn here, here, and here.
You can never find a horn when you're mad.
And they should all play `La Cucaracha'."

"I have also been retained by the Department of Justice in its investigation of the INSLAW matter. In 1992 (and later in 1995) my task in that engagement was to investigate alleged copyright theft and subsequent cover-up by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the National Security Agency, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the United States Customs Service, and the Defense Intelligence Agency."
Holy fuck, how'd this guy avoid ending up dead in a ditch somewhere?!!!
I can't believe nobody's put up a website to document how hollywood movies in fads like that. I bet you could find plenty of examples back to at least the 40's.
Strangely, the 1953 WotW is one of the 50's sci-fi movies that I feel has better withstood time. The effect still seem to work for me. The only problem is the 1950's society and technology they use, but then, I look at it as a period piece, so that doesn't detract from the movie.
Most of the people that acutally went out looking to drive off the invaders with their shotguns assumed that the radio reports were incorrect and that the US was actually being invaded by the Germmans.
Actually, I think RA Heinlen got the last one of the basic dramtic plots with "Boy meets girl, boy gets girl pregnant, boy runs off, girl has baby, learns that she is a hermaphrodite, has sex-reassignment surgery, gets job in the time patrol, runs into her former self and impregnates her, recruits former self into time patrol".

Let's not forget broadcast != cable.
What is that, a guy on a catapult?!!!
ehhh, at least he didn't say he wanted a Trojan space program...
Of course, looking at broadcast, apparently giving them truckfulls of money and letting them lead the high life also has the same effect. Go figure.

That should shut up all you pansy liberals that whine about "preemption"!
Yeah, I saw him speak at our college commencement. His comment was : "It's just a movie. Get a life!"
Have any of the obsessive Star Wars geeks published a comprehensive changelog?
Oooops, wrong Lucasberg!
Maybe we just need a few more hurricanes to finally put the spam problem to rest!
Yeah, like:
"Han shot FIRST!" post.
That might make one decent gross-out stunt, but a whole show?!!!
It was on a removable HD tray that jammed, but the story's better when I leave that part out.
You believe me, right? I posted it on slashdot!

Always remember to mount a scratch research assistant.
Apparently with our own shovel. Wouldn't that be ironic, the communists use capitalism's short-sightedness against it.
I's sorry, but I think these pictures tell a hilarious story! Photo 1 with the helicopters overlooking the carnage is quite good!
