For me, Netflix is validation for my habit of not being in the mood to watch a particular movie for the entire four or five days that I'd normally have it rented from a video store. I'm saving money in late fees every month! (Giving the finger to Blockbuster also factors in to my enthusiasm for the service...)
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Is this anything like The Five Deadly Venoms?

I'm somewhere between that and being too lazy to remember what I wanted to rent at the local video store.

It's a comic about how Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla tried to save the world from the evil machinations of Edison and J.P. Morgan.
And there may or may not be a Yeti.
I'm a little bit excited about it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And there may or may not be a Yeti.
Schrodinger's Yeti?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure I saw Sixteen Candles twice in the theater when I was 12 or whatever, so very impressionable. FYI.
Edit: Good lord, I was 10 when it came out. That can't be right. Looking at the dates, I guess it was Pretty in Pink I saw twice in a row.
Anyway.

That "my brother just paid $3 to see your underpants" line and Molly Ringwald's reaction will always be one of the comedy highlights to me.

Favorite Hughes: The Breakfast Club. Because I am a brain, a princess, a jock, a basket-case, and a criminal.
erika, this should totally be your tagline. And if not, can I have it?
I always hated the Perfect Crush Guy. My step-sister was all about Jake Ryan (and I typed Jack Ryan three times there) and whatever Andrew McCarthy's name was in Pretty in Pink. I was traumatized by PiP. I thought it was supposed to be a feel-good, happy-ending, teen-romance movie, and yet she and Ducky didn't get together. Total tragic ending.
Dobler is Oz, except if you asked someone to oz-ize what they said on the internet, they just be more terse.
I think I wanted to date John Cusack starting with Better Off Dead, but I wanted to be Martin Blank. In fact, I quote Blank pretty much every day.

I think I've done that, Raq. But better you should steal a tag than a screw. The world is an imperfect place. Yeah, Matt, "OMG, I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek." But my favorite line from 16 Candles might just be: "A lot can happen over a year. You might come back next fall and be a completely normal person."
