And the guy in the row in front of me said every line of dialog just before the actors did.
I thought that was par for the course whenever anyone, anywhere, is watching a Monty Python film. Even if you're watching alone in a cave in the remote desert, That Guy will show up and recite each line before the actors do. I seriously don't think I've ever watched a Monty Python film where it wasn't a competition among the viewers to see who could quote the most lines, the fastest, with the most accuracy.
(I also have a friend who does this with Caddyshack. I just don't watch movies with him anymore. It saved the friendship.)

Well, I can't read about her without hearing a duck quack (coin-coin being the French quacking sound), so you've still got one up on me.
If I weren't already keen on seeing The Avengers, Mark Ruffalo would have won me over tonight in his Colbert Report appearance. After an impassioned warning about the dangers of hydro-fracking to extract natural gas, Colbert latched onto his quote ("If I'm the person I say I am, I have to get out in front of this issue") and asked "But aren't you also the Hulk?"
Ruffalo's response?
"Don't make me angry."
'Twins' Sequel 'Triplets' in the Works for Arnold, DeVito...and Eddie Murphy:
The story would reteam Schwarzenegger and DeVito as brothers Julius and Vincent, conceived experimentally, who discover they have third sibling.
This is the world we live in.
