I suppose one can also carefully design one's insults to cause impact, though Rodney doesn't strike me as the type.

Don't credit me with careful design. It's just that if I want to hurt someone the insultt's more about them than me.

As for McKay, when you feel better than everyone, it's really easy to seem specifically offensive when it's really a broad spectrum thing.

Hell, I thought my father was sexist for years.

Uh, not that he was offensive. But, still.

So. Krull - thumbs up or thumbs down? Need something on in the background for a couple of hours...

If it's just in the background, it won't do much damage

Down, I suspect, based just on the name.

I think there's a weapon of some kind? With curved pointy bits? And possibly a chick who gets held hostage by a Dark Lord in a black stone castle with the weapon?

I think the Dark Lord wears a funky helmet.

So far, amusingly cheesy, but I'm flipping around.

And possibly a chick who gets held hostage by a Dark Lord in a black stone castle with the weapon?

Yes, this just happened. Well, the kidnapping part. She hasn't gotten to the castle or the lord yet.

Also slayers=bad guys in this world. Boo.

I LOVED Krull.

I was also, umm... (checks IMDB) 9.

Huh. Liam Neeson's in it? Dude, it's totally time for a rewatch-and-cringe.

Daniel ... thanks for that. The Tom Baker voice was spot on.

Oh, yes - that was funny. Dude looked eerily like Tennant, too.

Krull -- it's kind of like the story of a video game. Kind of fun. Our hero has a couple of quests to manage before he faces the beast that guards the place where the princess is, I think.

Oh, good heavens. There's a lava pit. It's Zelda!! (We wastedspent a lot of time on Zelda in college)

Daniel ... thanks for that. The Tom Baker voice was spot on.

On the web site for the Dead Ringers group, they have a "Candid Camera" type feature, where he arranges to baffle a tanning salon employee.

I loved the bit with the tinfoil, too.
