I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Flying cars. Clothes made out of mylar. Vacations on Mars. Galactic colonialization. Free fall sex. Alien pets. Neural implants. Immortality.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then there's wacky futuristic sci-fi stuff like an end to wars, poverty and disease....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

if you're a Crusader who's doing the doe-eyed Orlando Bloom thing in the real world, you probably get the medieval equivalent of a wedgie from your fellows every day.

This point has been lost in all the Blues Bros. love. I feel the need to repeat it, because, frankly, I feel that Orlando Bloom could use a couple of wedgies now and then.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd add Blues Brothers love for Sister Mary Stigmata, the car chase through the mall to Sam & Dave's "Hold on, I'm Comin'", and Jake's "It's good to see you, sweetheart1" after being pinned down by Carrie Fisher's suppressing fire.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I just saw Closer. I think Clive Owen was the only one who managed to elevate the text beyond it's staginess. Julia Roberts inability to convey an inner life for her character made me question if she herself has an inner life. (I suspect robot.)

And the scene were Clive is barefoot...Gah! I'll be in my bunk.
