I like Shoot 'Em Up as long as I remember to turn off my critical-thinking and feminist modules first. Then, it's freakin' AWESOME.
Yeah, this. Even I thought Shoot 'Em Up was ridiculous silly fun. Death by carrot!
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

I'd like to point out that Colin Farrell killed somebody with a peanut in Daredevil.

Was it a flaming peanut? Did he shoot it out of a gun?
I haven't seen Daredevil, so feel free to make shit up and embellish as much as possible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was a peanut that was heated up to the temperature of the sun's core with lasers, then teleported into the brain of the bad guy, killing everyone within a ten-mile radius.
eta: Or maybe the peanut was compressed until it turned into a black hole, and then it was shoved up the bad guy's ass.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
tommy's answers are too good to contravene.
(Though I will note the peanut kill was the most amusing thing in the movie and something I think about when flying next to an obnoxious co-passenger.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The paperclip was pretty good. I liked the extra flourish.

Dog sleep disorders in Disney films
University of Barcelona researchers noted that dogs in classic Disney films frequently seem to exhibit REM behavior disorder (RBD). Below is the full abstract for their scientific paper, published in a 2007 issue of the journal Sleep Medicine:
During a viewing of Disney's animated film Cinderella (1950), one author (AI) noticed a dog having nightmares with dream-enactment that strongly resembled RBD. This prompted a study in which all Disney classic full-length animated films and shorts were analyzed for other examples of RBD. Three additional dogs were found with presumed RBD in the classic films Lady and the Tramp (1955) and The Fox and the Hound (1981), and in the short Pluto's Judgment Day (1935). These dogs were elderly males who would pant, whine, snuffle, howl, laugh, paddle, kick, and propel themselves while dreaming that they were chasing someone or running away. In Lady and the Tramp the dog was also losing both his sense of smell and his memory, two associated features of human RBD. These four films were released before RBD was first formally described in humans and dogs. In addition, systematic viewing of the Disney films identified a broad range of sleep disorders, including nightmares, sleepwalking, sleep related seizures, disruptive snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep disorder. These sleep disorders were inserted as comic elements. The inclusion of a broad range of accurately depicted sleep disorders in these films indicates that the Disney screenwriters were astute observers of sleep and its disorders.

The Chicago Tribune's given Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince 3 1/2 stars (out of four), and he calls it among the best of the bunch, next to HP&PoA. The review is not spoilerific if you've read the book.
