Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My claim would be as valid as yours, except I don't have the urges.

Inertia wins the day! Maybe I'll try to dig up my first cite on the boards and submit it to a higher authority: erinaceous.

She has access to several corpus which could probably establish precedence.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'd laugh my ass(pull) off to see that written up in her column.

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

I can't work out if this Transformers 3 review is positive or not. Qualifiedly so, perhaps. Clear enough, though, that I should stay away.

the Salon review of Transformers 3 was really funny: it's basically the quintessential terrible summer movie, and thus we should all go see it. I think.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Am I allowed to be disappointed that the feature film of War Horse was made with live horses?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yes. I mean, what's the point? No one wants to see HORSES. They want to see PUPPET HORSES.

INORITE? It's funny though. If it had never been a play, just a book to film, and they were doing it with puppets I'd be all: why puppets?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Man, there are some funny lines in the review ita linked.

The main emotion that comes off Shia LaBoeuf, from the first frame to the last, is a bitchy, indignant rage, interspersed with feeble attempts at ingratiation.

(Forget the Director's Cut. For movies like this, we need the Bathroom Attendant's Cut.)

New leading lady Rosie Huntington-Whitely — who makes Megan Fox seem like Katharine Hepburn — spends the final hour of the movie looking as though she's ready to have a nervous breakdown and give a lapdance.

OMG HA. Yeah, I am so not seeing this movie. Even (and especially) if Alan Tudyk "impersonates a gay ex-Nazi manservant in a weird suit."

Not that I was considering seeing it anyway. Being assaulted by the trailer the other night was plenty.

The story and the acting are not what I go to see a Michael Bay film for. Giant robots destroying Chicago? Yes, must see this on the big screen.

The lure of constant sensory battery is not usually enough to get me to buy a ticket, and neither Shia nor the chick are my idea of teh hott. I'd rather watch Inception. Again. And again. And again...
