LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Me fail English? That's unpossible!

And the doctor told me, if I stop putting my finger up my nose, I wouldn't get so many nosebleeds!

My cat's breath smells like cat food!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!

This one was on this afternoon.

At my house, we call them uh-oh's!

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

move out and draw fire

Nope, Matt, both of those are in my rated version.

See, this is why I'm having a hard time imagining the unrated version.

Serial:

I just looked on Amazon for Forbidden Silver, having misremembered the title of Forgotten Silver. No direct hits, but I got both "Christian romance novels" and "Adult Softcore Porn."

I'm just so happy to see those two things side by side. So happy, in fact, that I'm not going to wonder why the adjective "adult" was felt to be necessary.

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

See, this is why I'm having a hard time imagining the unrated version.

See, I think at one point it was cut down to an R-rated version. Although I'm not sure just 12 minutes would cut it.

However, I must say that DEAD ALIVE is the most jovial piece of sick-fuckery this side of early Sam Raimi. MEET THE FEEBLES is just nasty (which is part of its, ahem, charm), but DEAD ALIVE is kinda sweet in some ways - the hero is so damn guileless, and the romance he has is truely lovable.

Classic line: "I kick ass for the lord!!!!"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Classic line: "I kick ass for the lord!!!!"

That's up there with "I'm an asshole...with an Uzi!" from Frighteners.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think the "kick ass" quote, well, kicks the other's ass. I mean, it's spoken in an Irish accent by an elderly pajamas-and-smoking-jacket-clad priest that just beat the crap out of a bunch of zombies. How can you not love that?

Plus, after ripping the arms off of said zombies, he overshoots a kung-fu kick and ends up impaling himself on a pointy tombstone about 30 seconds later.

Classic cinema at its best, I tell ya!

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I've never seen DEAD ALIVE but I really want to now.
