Not a bad flick. Not a great one, but not a bad one. You've got to be willing to put the Bible thumping aside, though. In fact, a lot of reasonable things need to be put aside, as well: the only character who has anything approaching a firm grip on reality is the villain. Four of the eight main characters have AIDS. The ending is dumb, to put it mildly. But the music pops, and the manipulative SOBs will force some tears out of you. Everything I need to know I learned from Rent. 1. I can not have a job and not pay my rent for a year before the landlord starts demaning things from me. 2. You can be a 19-year-old junky on your last legs and still look as hot as Rosario Dawson. 3. Whenever I start singing something in someone else's presence, that other person WILL know the words and be able to accompany me in perfect harmony. 4. Everyone has AIDS. 5. You can live right upstairs from Rosario Dawson and not notice. 6. And have a male roommate who doesn't notice. 7. And both of you are straight. 8. You can sell your guitar and buy a car with the money. 9. Killing a yappy dog will make you a hero in some people's eyes. 10. I miss the World Trade Center. (Thank you for that one, Chris Columbus!)

Nope and Nope. Admittedly, this is a VERY tough one. This MIGHT make it easier... "I'll never get the chance to meet Robin Hood again." Oh, stop moaning. He's obviously a dangerous man, unbalanced if you ask me. Giving away what isn't even his! "That's what Robin Hood always did. Even I know that." Of course, you know it all. "He was one of my heroes." Heroes! Heroes! What do they know about a day's work? --- "I'd like to stay." "Jolly good! What's your name?" "Ke..." "Ke? What a jolly nice name. Well never mind, cheerio! Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very, very, very much."

Nope. If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One! --- "We made trees and shrubs. We helped make all this." "Whew! That's not bad." "Yeah. But did we get a thimble full of credit for it? No! All we got was the sack. Just for creating the Pink Bunkadoo." "Pink Bunkadoo?" "Yeah. Beautiful trees that was. Og designed it. 600 feet high, bright red, and smelled terrible."

Oh, all right: Wild at Heart.

Which, I think we can all agree, is often absolutely necessary!

There are still Way Corps Death Eaters loyal to L Craig Voldemortindale? Coooool. He will return! He will return to power!

You would think. But no, it was not Dogma.

Coca Cola Light? You mean this?...................or this?

"Dead? No excuse for laying off work." --- "God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!" "Slugs." "Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?"

The cafe's been getting more and more customers lately, and I've missed my customary cups of coffee for the new folks. I apologize. No slight intended. No way I can remember all the names: Thin Lizzie (?) and themex come to mind immediately, but I'm sure there are others. So, welcome to the cafe, one and all. And how do you take your coffee?

:) okay, in case anyone cares, here's Delta, headed right for Africa!

Cynic, I think Mark has already answered 2 several times, and never alleged 3.

I'm stealing this thread idea from another site. Here's the idea: you take a quote from a movie, then replace one of the words with the word "pants." It can only be one word, and the one word can ONLY be replaced with pants. Don't change ANY OTHER WORDS in the quote. Just one word switch. Some examples: Superman: "You will bow down before me, Jor-El. First you, and then one day, your pants!" Superman: "Is it true that you can see through pants?" Superman: ""It's open, come in. My attorney will be in touch with you about the damage to the door. Otis, take the gentleman's pants." "I don't think he wants me to, Mr. Luthor." The Godfather: "Leave the pants. Take the cannolis." Apocalypse Now: "I love the smell of pants in the morning." The Breakfast Club: "Pants fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place." Meet the Parents: "I have pants, Greg. Could you milk me?" Harry Potter 3: ""You know the very first time I saw you, Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your pants. They're your mother, Lily's." Star Wars: "I find your lack of pants disturbing." The Empire Strikes Back: "Obi Wan never told you what happened to your pants." Return of the Jedi: "Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?" "Vader is here, now, on this moon." "How do you know?" "I felt his pants. He's come for me." Ewwwwww! Ok, your turn...

Miracle on 34th St. The original. The remake just doesn't cut it.

I second that! (Speaking of seconds: I'm stuffed).

I had to look her up. Good luck, everyone!

Me too. Happy advanced birthday, Ron. Feast! Feast! Feast!

Likewise. Happy belated, Ron. I have an idea: Let's ALL celebrate Ron's birthday today with a feast!
