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.

RE: mutant fruit flies, I apparently don't watch enough bad movies.

Maybe make up a thermos of hot chocolate the night before or some other sort of fun stuff to eat in the car?

Well, it's only an hour drive, so it shouldn't be too bad. The length of the drive only bugs in the sense of it being an hour less sleep.

When we were kids, I used to drive my siblings nuts because they were up at the crack of dawn, ready to open presents and I would sleep in until I was dragged out of bed. (Which was generally around 7am when my parents couldn't deal with them fidgetting anymore.)

Still, I can't imagine doing the family Christmas two days before. It's just not right and worth getting out of bed early for. (Though I wonder if I'll think so as I sit in the cold car Christmas morning.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm confused. When do the Swiss peeps come into all this?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

In a world where street fruit vendors struggle to survive, and only the craftiest glass-pane-carrying guys escape destruction (of their glass), one man rose up to end the chaos....

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

Not until the final few seconds of the movie. Everyone (who lives) is happy that they've killed the last of the mutant fruit flies - then we cut to a shot of giant fruit flies eating a giant Peep.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The spunky kid has to suffer from a rare disease which requires a special operation, so the fruit stand HAS to make money before it is...too late. Luckily the estranged wife of the handsome plate glass carrier is a surgeon who specializes in this disease.

She doesn't have her surgical kit with her, and the hospital is overrun by the fruitflies, so she uses broken shards of plate glass for the procedure... and one of those fruit dehydrator things they advertise on TV to sterilize the glass.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think someone needs to be moving a piano in the middle of this movie. Also, a car should crash and catch on fire.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hoisting it up the sixth floor through the window, and it's halfway up before the plucky kid notices a huge fray in the cable.

This might have to be a miniseries.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

If there are to be as many crashes as were present in the originally presented concept, I think the car whose crash caused the whole incident needs to have its brakes cut.
