Thread's still pullin' in 2 pages a day, huh?

This was pretty good. The last three clips were great.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Or, just have some self discipline and dont come into it..

or we could get you banned from the entire thread?
There's no way I can have the self discipline to stay out of a thread so wound up and defensive that when I say "This approach just isn't for me, but I can see why it would work for some," people (I believe literally) shit a brick.

There's too much fun to be had here.
There he is!

The more I read about deleted scenes and the way things were shot, the more I'm thinking they just shot a ton of stuff and hoped to piece a story together in the editing room. This article backs that up. Neither of these scenes make any sense in any context. Though the second one does happen on the book.

Wait, you mean they cut out something that was copying something from the first movie? I don't believe it. Everything must be copied. Its the only way.

I love that you made this joke on that actual site as well. Your commitment to consistency is one of the things I admire most about you.

People's expectations about entertainers should exactly match their own behaviors in everyday conversation, Burt.

And before you think I'm being sarcastic, I want you to consider how overjoyed dime would be at seeing a movie about an incoherent yet strikingly handsome man who rambles endlessly about woodworking for four hours while nobody listens.

I should watch Lake Placid before every viewing experience I have. I'd probably think every movie I saw was a masterpiece.

You should definitely watch Lake Placid before The Force Awakens. The stuff Abrams rips off from LP is hilarious.
