So I'm getting the impression that it's not very good.
Don't want to rush to any conclusions.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm with amy...I've easily had two hours of entertainment from reading the reviews.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
To be fair, this scene is straight out of an episode (one of my least favorites, actually). The actual line belongs to Katara and goes, "Here's your chance, earthbenders! (She grabs a lump of coal and raises it high.) Take it! Your fate is in your own hands!" (Well, that's after she gives a minute-long inspirational speech. Because she's Katara.)
So the line may me bad, but the sentiment is the same.
Yes. It's not one of favorites either (even if it does have George Takei in it) but at least in the show, the Earthbenders were trapped on the steampunk version of an oil rig with no earth to bend readily available until Aang and co pulled the trick with the coal. Having them imprisoned on solid ground is just ridiculous.
Well, it involves the ancient martial art style called Kick-in-the-Nuts.
If you wanted to be truly brutal, you could go with the ninjutsu technique called "Monkey Steals the Peach."

I just busted out my spork-fu on him. We've disagreed on stuff before (he loves American Beauty and I walked out of it, for example), but saying Avatar sucked? Spork. Eye.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time. Some of these are delicious. And some (thank you Schwarzenegger) are lame. But it makes me want to have a festival of profanity.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It is funny, but I didn't see any from Pulp Fiction listed there.

Or In The Loop, which has some of the most amazing insults ever commited to film.
ETA - "This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!"

I haven't seen In The Loop, but there were a couple I swore were from it--it had the guy from Children of Earth, right?

I just rewatched it and you're right. I entirely failed to notice the first time through. Possibly because I was pretending to work while watching it...
