To quote A Fish Called Wanda:
Otto West: Apes don’t read philosophy.
Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don’t understand it.
Dorothy is the same.
@ManchuCandidate: Aristotle was not Belgian.
And thanks to you, I will be pulling out my DVD of that movie and watching it tonight.
“Why did they name her after a car?”
@SanFranLefty: still have the one you sent me – will pull it out (again) tomorrow. Right now we’re showing the cats “A New Hope” … they slept through Ep1 but were surprisingly interested in “Revenge of the Sith”.
She makes about as much sense as Sarah Palin, but she does have that patrician ahk-scent, which makes it all better.
@blogenfreude: Mr. SFL noted that we saw “Wanda” about three months ago and therefore we’re watching his favorite funny comedy, “Zoolander” instead.
@blogenfreude: “A New Hope”
BLASPHEMY!
That movie is called Star Wars, and fuck any revisionist who says otherwise. Starting with the director.
@nojo: turns out the blu ray set we bought has the hated “No, Noooooo” addition when the Emperor is trying to kill Luke (spoilers). It’s not as awful as I thought it would be, but it’s still fucking around with something that was a near-perfect movie (Ewoks aside). On the other hand, as Kevin Smith often points out, it belongs (belonged) to Lucas, and he can do what he wants with it.
@blogenfreude: Who shoots first?
@nojo: In the shower scene it’s the little blonde bottom kid, then the hot latino one, and then the rest of them go all at once.
We are talking about Little Big Leauge Part 2: The Seccond Inning, right?
@Tommmcatt Can’t Believe He Ate The Whole Thing: Yes. Yes of course.
