Anyone else have the Fight Club soundtrack? Isn't this drivel a cousin to that preceding Brad Pitt's rap at the end of the CD?
"You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. "You are the same decaying bits in a Lucasfilm renderfarm as the rest of us. "You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the galaxy. "You are not the speederbike you fly. "You are not the brown robes you wear. "You are not the temple where you are trained. "You are not your seeker ball. "You are NOT your FUCKING LIGHTSABER!"
"Carter quarters." A boon to vending machine operators throughout the late Seventies owing to the carelessness of the spending public.
Actually, someone deployed one of the Sacajawhatsis dollars at the low-stakes poker game two weeks ago, and it drew suspicious stares when it landed in the pot. I recall quipping that someone must've been to one of the local Indian casinos recently.
Who are your notable casting exceptions? Mine would be MacGregor and McDiarmid. I would say Lee also, but I can't get past the pain of hearing him mouth such shitty lines to soak in his performance.
Also, continuing bonus points to Andy "Watto" Secombe's voice talent.
and your Death Stars and whatnot. I and my lesbian flying circus are mounting this atop a van, carving my way into Fort Knox, irradiating the gold therein, and kicking back on a pile of profit. Or should I say, "Profit!"
Do I expect you to mod this down? No, I expect you to DIE!
These guys sound like the twentysomethings Brad Pitt was trying to teach poker in Ocean's Eleven, in which one of them was convinced he had George Clooney's quad 9s (IIRC) beat with "all red."
After that, knocking over three casinos with Clooney must have seemed irresistible to Pitt. And anyway, everyone knows you can only beat quads with all black.;)
F&LILV has accompanied me on both prior Vegas expeditions and it will be in my bag for number three. Something about sitting at the pool behind the Flamingo, knowing what was happening mere feet away just three decades ago... now where's that Dwarf with my pink telephone?

Between this fine book, the recent publication of Andy Bellin's Poker Nation, a biopic on fallen poker legend Stu Ungar in the can, and the World Poker Tour program now showing on the Travel Channel, popular works on poker have been coming faster than ever.
If there are any regular poker players out there, either in home games or casinos and card rooms, can you comment on whether this has brought a tide of newbies into the game? If so, have these fish provided any sort of windfall for the more experienced players?
I don't care about cancer... does this increase my chances of getting superpowers? Then I'd just have to find a tailor who can provide rip-proof purple pants....
If there's one thing that I hate about George Lucas, it's that he seems to purposefully release slightly better versions of the same movie every few years, just to make sure that he can get his fans to repeatedly buy the same film.
I agree -- Episode II is indeed slightly better than Episode I, but both are essentially alike.
I always imagine that the answer to the secret of the three seashells occupies the same lost, mystic text as an explanation of what the "dreaded Rear Admiral" from Milhouse's traumatic childhood might be. No clue on either count but quite curious.
fremen are nothing if not skinny. It has to do with the whole living in the desert without water thing
THANK you. At numerous points during the show when Fremen were depicted, I would see something that made me want to yell, "Water discipline, people!!" Half of them looked like they had just bankrupted several lemonade stands.
I have seen very few Family Guys, but someone showed me this one, in which the father dispatches Hanson via about 8 shotgun blasts, and I spent the next 15 min on the floor laughing. Fortunately the guy who recorded it did so on TiVo, and I was able to repeat the scene.
They absolutely do trim the eps for syndication (read: more wretched commercials). The episode descriptions at snpp.com provide the missing bits for most eps.
Some of the cuts are maddening. Out of the "Deep Space Homer" ep, they cut the sequence during Homer and Barney's space training in which they face off against each other in a spot-on homage to the old Trek ep "Gamesters of Triskelion," down to the same Trek action-y music and one of the scientists saying something like "I wager 400 quatloos on the fat one."
Piss-yer-pants funny and I haven't seen this scene since 1994. Bring on the DVDs!

My 80-year-old granny is a con artist, you insensitive clod!

What goes on NintendoBucks?
Who else? Mario of course!
For that kind of money and exposure and cavorting with Kirsten Dunst? Hell, break out the sigmoidoscope while you're at it!!
Yes, but he was dating Gimli, so he kept the job.

with the hours of special features on many special edition movies, there simply isn't time to watch it all on a normal rental agreement
What, your company doesn't give you sick days?
Sure. It's 12345. Just like on my luggage.
I hosted a bachelor party at Searle's Chinese Room. Excellent catering, a great price, and never an empty glass. Might I recommend the Scorpion Bowls.

Then Nelson Muntz ran up, jumped on it a few times, and yelled, "Ha-haah!"?
Maybe it's the 12-hour days I've been working this week, but I found this hilarious. Ah, the days when "The Simpsons" were well-written ....
