"Cigarette?"
"No thanks, I don't smoke."
"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Cigarette. Cigarette, prepare to pleasure me."
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just recalled the scene from Clone High where an entire audience is befuddled by the meaning of Joan of Arc's clone's expressionistic student film...except Freud's clone. "You love Abe! You love Abe!"
I saw maybe two episodes of that show and they were both great.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
- The "Fujisawa Monster Kick" sequence from the anime El-Hazard. Literally fell out of my chair laughing the first time and my friends and I had to rewind and re-watch about 5 times.
- Many, many moments from Red Dwarf
- Likewise, many moments from Animaniacs, though the Warner's going to hell and Wakko fetching a snowball to note forlornly "They were right, it never had a chance" sticks out.
There's a lot more, stuff from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Army of Darkness, The Boondock Saints, etc that I know have struck me as absolutely hysterical, but I can't summon the exact moments to mind.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can't believe I forgot to mention a bit that literally almost had me falling off the couch, which is the Medieval Times scene in The Cable Guy.
When they started playing the Vulcan battle music in the background, I just about died.

Which reminds me: everything set at the convention in Galaxy Quest. EVERYTHING.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, I admit I didn't appreciate it enough when it was on. How can MTV not even rerun it? I saw a rumor it would come out on DVD soon-- not that that's particularly credible. If it does, however, I recommend it.

"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
Oh, Galaxy Quest also gave us that scene with Sigourney Weaver's and Tim Allen's characters having to run that gauntlent of random chomping presses, with Sigourney saying "Whoever wrote this episode should DIE!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah, that one one of the funniest TV moments ever. Along with the attack of the godless communist tornados.

Yes, this.
I remembered two more while flipping channels tonight and catching an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway?
- British version. Game is Superheroes. Ryan Stiles as "Tight Underwear Boy".
- American version. Game is Green Screen. Colin Mochary (sp?) in front of the screen, which is (unknown to him) displaying a collection of clips of him from the show. The best part is early in the bit, he says the reason for the "news" he's supposedly reporting is "A bald joke gone horribly wrong" or some such.
Really, I think the British Whose Line is probably the most consistantly responsible for unable to breathe bouts of laughter than any other program for me.
