...the scene in "Serenity" where we're made to believe Jayne is going to shoot Mal,...
What scene was that?
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Mal's going to meet Patience to sell the cargo he retreived, and Jayne sights his rifle on Mal's head.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I really wonder why [Rosebud-is-a-sled-level-spoiler] hasn't become a more popular catchphrase.)
Heh. I don't think it's that big a spoiler. Really, it's probably not a spoiler at all. But it's one of my favorite pieces of the movie, and I had no idea it existed, so I like to keep it that way for other people.
Does the remake have him play it on the computer? That'd be amusing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Heh. I don't think it's that big a spoiler.
That's what I meant, actually -- it's something of no consequence to the plot that almost everyone already knows about.
The remake dispenses with solitaire altogether, and uses a different verbal trigger.
(Whitefonted even though it's given away in the trailer because it is a very nice reveal moment.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I lurve lurve lurve the original Manchurian Candidate. Can't wait to see the sequel. I'm even planning on getting a babysitter and seeing it in the theater.
Really, it's probably not a spoiler at all.
Well, not once you've already seen the movie.

I had assumed as much, Jessica. Need to keep it fun for those who saw the first version.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So....I should see the first one before going to see the Denzel one?

It's pretty great, Steph, in that Cold War era kind of way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I vote seeing the original second, just on the principle that the original is always better, AND I think the re-make is going to be pretty darn good, so I wouldn't want to be sitting there comparing it unfavorably. You know what I'm saying?

It! Them! Who can tell the difference?
Heh. Pronouns were scarier back then.
