Dustin Hoffman's character in the Graduate annoys me, for instance, even though a lot of people relate to him
No, I can go with that. I mean, I love the movie, LOVE IT, but his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
his character is just so aimless and clueless . . . .His own fault, for failing to appreciate plastics.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
His own fault, for failing to appreciate plastics.
I really don't get why that line is so famous. I finally saw the movie a couple months ago, and I thought it would be a big deal, but it's just this random throwaway line that's never followed up on. I don't get it.

It's, like, all symbolic of the artificiality of corporate culture and of our society as a whole 'n' stuff....
I think that "plastic" had more of a negative connotation then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pardon the sudden delurk, but is there really going to be a Highlander movie with Methos in 2005, or were y'all inadvertantly yanking my chain?
Becuase I'll pay to see it, even though I'll cringe as I buy my popcorn, knowing it will suck. Alas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll be there too. Especially if there's the promise of more than five minutes of Methos this time.

While I'm here:
- Lucious Fox
- James Gordon (okay, he looks great, but he's all wee and stuff)
- Alfred (he's all not-wee)
- Obi Wan
- Bruce
Ashtareth, a quick google makes it look like Highlander: The Source is a go, with Lambert and without Adrian Paul, and with Methos. Which makes little sense, but still.

With Lambert?
But...with Lambert?
I thought he wanted out of the movies or something. Huh.

This is google. Could be all one rumour spun out of control. You know how those weird Internet people are.
