But I think it would have worked last night.
Part of me thinks I would have thrown something at the television at the sound of the first few notes, but part of me thinks you're not wrong.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Oh, I would have made noises of disgust (we watched Shrek Friday night — it was the first time I had seen it — and I was aghast that it used "Hallelujah"), but I still think it would have worked with the tenor of the show.

Heh, I think it was Shrek that started that trend. It's the first time I remember it being used, then it seemed EVERYONE was.

The most egregious use I can think of was in goddamn Watchmen. I actually started laughing loudly enough to annoy the people around me in the movie theater.

Same here. Plus Shrek used the John Cale version which astounded me at the time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Hallelujah" would have worked.
Steph,
I would have laughed out loud if they had used it. I'm glad they didn't.

That was so OTT that I would say it was a deliberate parody, except nothing else in the movie indicated anyone involved with making it had the self-awareness to make that kind of joke.

When Hurley asked Ben to help him with the whole protect-the-glowy-cave mission, and Ben accepted, The Boy said, "And now Hurley's going to whip a Hot Pocket at Ben's head!"
Don't ask me why I just recalled that.

Also, when Lapidas was getting ready to take off and saw Sawyer, Claire, and Kate, I was unreasonably happy that he got to say "What the HELL?!?" one more time.
I think that was the basis of casting him: ability to say "What the HELL?!?" repeatedly, without it ever getting old.

What also never got old -- Sawyer said "Sonofabitch!" at least three times last night.
