"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wait, they are making a movie of Miami Vice ?? Complete with teal neckties and everything?

I don't know how I feel about Jamie Foxx in a teal necktie. And, does he get to play the Don Johnson character, or is he stuck as the sidekick?

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

does he get to play the Don Johnson character, or is he stuck as the sidekick?

Colin Farrell is Crockett.

Don't feel bad for Jackie Chan, ita.

Is he still the #1 star in the world? My sympathy is limited -- just that he's incredibly fun to watch, whatever language he's speaking, no matter the quality of the movie. I feel bad for me not getting more movies to watch.

So Hollywood has run out of new ideas completely, then?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

How can you say that when Snakes On A Plane will be coming out next year? Snakes! On a motherfucking plane!

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

I liked Starsky & Hutch, and was looking forward to this too. But apparently it's an out of control behemoth of burgeoning costs and is way late too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm totally seeing that Miami Vice movie. Due to being a sucker, and loving both of those guys!!

I have to do the analysis and recommendations part of my paper now, and I don't wanna!!! WAH.

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

Well, it's being made by Michael Mann-- if he's completely out of ideas, at least he's using his own.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember a while back there was a controversy where some claimed that the US military intentionally targeted reporters in Iraq? Non-Iraqi reporters?

Blair 'convinced Bush' not to launch strike at Al-Jazeera

TONY BLAIR had to persuade US President George Bush not to launch a military strike on the studios of TV station Al-Jazeera.

New reports claim the two leaders debated an attack on the station which has broadcast video messages from al-Qaida head Osama bin Laden and leaders of the insurgency in Iraq, as well as clips of dead British and US soldiers.

...

"If it was the case that President Bush wanted to bomb Al-Jazeera in what is after all a friendly country, it speaks volumes and raises questions about subsequent attacks that took place on the press that wasn't embedded with coalition forces."

it speaks volumes

Yeah, but they're volumes we already own. Murdering villain who thinks he's Above The Law, has no concern for his allies nor common decency, and is a shame to his country? No, I got that one last year sometime. Is there a new edition?

What do you have to do to get impeached in this country? Oh, wait. I know the answer to that one. Well, could we arrest him then? Who's in charge here?
