Because I never saw it.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Star Wars script. Spoilery. And funny.
INT. SOME WEIRD OPERA THING
IAN MCDIARMID You seem worried about Natalie dying. Also, you're confused about being a Jedi.
HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN (furrowing his brow) They don't want me to fuck Natalie Portman. That's insanity. Did you see her in Closer? Holy fuck.
I don't have to whitefont that, do I?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, YAY! The Editing Room hasn't been funny in far too long. Good to see it back in form.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I like how the script refers to the character as SAMUEL L. MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON.

This is the line I wanted to hear:

Ian, you're under arrest for being
a manipulative motherfucker.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Crash and Longest Yard last night. The later was tedious.
Crash had some terrific performances, but the writing felt awfully forced and the author's hand was everywhere. I felt that characterization and dialogue were always being sacrificed to make a point. And since the point is "racism is bad" which, hey, is something I already knew, not such a great movie-going experience.

I think I'm lucky because I haven't really spent enough time in non-D.C. cities to be able to tell them apart. You want to say Chicago is New York? Toronto is Los Angeles? Whatever. I probably would notice if someone tried to pass Alberta off as Honolulu, but in general I am extremely non-picky about geography.

I'm always amused when watching Wayne's World, and seeing the palm trees in "Aurora." You can dress up the set with all the Chicagoland trivial bits (Empire Carpet commercial, drive by the Car Tower in Cicero), but you can't hide the trees!

What does this bit from The Editing Room mean?
NATALIE has her twins,the order of which creates a completely unnecessary continuity error for no reason other than the fact that DIRECTOR GEORGE LUCAS must really enjoy watching his obsessive fans rationalize obvious flaws. She DIES.

Saw Batman tonight, and I take back everything I said about Gotham being like Chicago, because DH was wrong, and it's not. It's very much its own city in this film (to a fault, at times -- the CGI aerials are distractingly fake).
The directing and performances are all fantastic. Katie Holmes is easily the weakest, but even she's not bad, just...she's Katie Holmes, and the rest of the cast is Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman.
The main thing that makes this movie so good is that, finally, it's a Batman film about Batman. The movie doesn't assume that you know who Bruce Wayne is going in, or that you know why he becomes Batman, or that you know what being Batman does to him.
And since this was a BAFTA screening, Christian Bale was there in person to introduce the film. OMGSOHOTT.
