Theodosia: The first movie that the crew traditionally shows when the last flight has left and they're starting their winter of isolation at the South Pole Station is John Carpenter's The Thing.

Nutty: Hey. That movie is like a training video for living at the South Pole.

1) Always hire a hottie to fly your helicopter. Check in advance to make sure he is still hot in full beard and silly goggles.

2) Dogs? Tie those critters up so they can't go spreading who-knows-what all over the camp.

3) If another group of hardy South Polers disappears? With signs they all tried to kill each other? Sweetie, that's a message for you.

4) Hey, what are you doing investigating disappearances anyway? Do I have to sit you down and make you read To Build A Fire ?

5) If a guy having a heart attack suddenly grows a second head, run away quickly, not slowly.

6) Never, ever leave Wilford Brimley alone in the radio shed. Nothing good can come of this.

Leigh, in Literary:

I caved in to the Potter phenomenon a couple of weeks ago (much to the horror of certain friends of mine, who I suspect, once they figure out that absolutely everyone has taken to this 'breathing' thing like fish to water, will soon die a sad un-oxygenated death)

Madrigal Costello: I got banned from the lab for a couple weeks since I was a danger to the test animals.

Betsy HP in Natter: Now I can hear Paul Lynde saying "Richard Chamberlain for the cock-block."

(Edit to add bolding)

Madrigal:

So at some point we're going to get a heart-warming movie about the triumph of the human spirit that features a multi-ethnic, mentally disabled hooker with a heart of gold played by Cuba Gooding, Jr.?

Steph, in Bitches:

My God. If there WAS a drug called Cheeritude, I *would* be hospitalized. "Nurse! Get me 500 ccs of Cheeritude STAT!"

"But Doctor! No one has ever taken that dose and lived!"

"Damn it, Nurse -- did you see the scowl on this woman's face when she was wheeled in? Get the Cheeritude and the biggest needle we have!"

Steph L:

(Look, I'm 32, and I've finally accepted that if I'm going to eat broccoli, it has to have cheese on it. Or a $100 bill.)

Bitches:

Hec: I mock a perpetual user of NasalCrom by pronouncing it with a heavy faux-Russian accent, because it sounds like something between a German order and a Iron-curtain era remedy: "You vill hav der NasssalKROM now, Herr Bond!"

erika: "I don't expect you to sniff, Mr. Bond. I expect you to DRY."

In Firefly: Daniel C. Jensen:

I'd love for the movie to come out with it's own title, not just "Firefly, the movie."

Sort of a whole "hey, here's our movie, it has the characters from TV, but stands on it's own" type of thing.

DXMachina:

They could call it Serenity Now.

Kirsten:

Setting up for the sequel. Insanity Later.

(COMMer's comment: these may be funnier if, like me, you automatically read these titles in the firm BBC tones of the shipping forecast.)

Anne W. on TTT, book 2.

Sam, Frodo, and Gollum endlessly. slogging. through. Mordor. It was like a production of No Exit. With midgets.
