Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

(Even the movie cites aren't helping with lots of these, becuase I've never seen a lot of the movies.)
Let's see, I've quoted an old Barbara Stanwyck movie, "Maltese Falcon," "Victor Victoria", "Lilo & Stitch", "The In-Laws", "Robin Hood," "Ghostbusters"--heck, if anyone remembers one they wanted cites, ask.

I'm getting the pig!
Witness Exhibit A: My 8th Grade science project - a working rain forest. Mike Dexter threw it out a third story window. It rains here no more. Witness Exhibit B: An eye patch I wore for a month after Mike beaned me with a raisin in home ec. My parents took me to a 3D film. I saw no third dimension. And of course, how could I forget the pudding incident? I know no one else has. Well gentlemen, tonight, Mike Dexter will know humiliation. Tonight Mike Dexter will know ridicule. Tonight is the night we fight back. Tonight is our independence night.

I think this game is more snappy without attribution.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Come with me if you want to live.
I think this was also in the movie Casper - when he pulls Kat out the window by her ankle.

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.
Aaah... How shall I do it? Oh, I know... I'll turn him into a flea. A harmless, little flea. And then, I'll put that flea in a box. And then I'll put that box inside of another box. And then I'll mail that box to myself. And when it arrives, [laughs] I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant! Brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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