5. Reading that makes me die a little inside

I had a horrible thought the other day that if they ever make a movie based on Neil Gaiman's Endless, they'll probably wind up casting Canoe as Morpheus (against Neil's objections, no doubt).

6. Should have been Sen. Craig "Take me to your bathrooms"

:rofl:

7. Does this mean that the porn version will be out first?

10. So what's the porn title?

"The Day The Earth Moved?"

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. I couldn't think of one, and was hoping to pass the baton to those who might...

I still can't think of one. In pron, the title is about the only thing differentiating product.

12. "The Day The Earth Stood Up?"

Instead of stopping the Earth's machines, Gort gives all males priapism.

"Klaatu Backdoor Nicto?"


I got nothing....

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. Be happy, because your nothing is more than I could come up with...

That's not a pev pun.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. I'm not bothered by Keanu anywhere near as much as I am that they are making it again.

It was FUCKING PERFECT the first time!

It could be Anthony Hopkins directed by Orson Welles and it wouldn't be as good as the original, because IT'S ALREADY PERFECTED.

Dammit.

It's like that fucking jackass who felt the need to redo "Psycho".

Dammit.

And, actually, I'm not bothered by Keanu at all - I don't get the Keanu hate. I really like him, and I love his style. He's a bit unemotive, but it is, I think, an intentional and wonderful unemotive that has worked really well in the movies he's been in. And given that, he'll be a great Klaatu.

14. Exactly my sentiments.

That, and now EVERYONE will get all of the various Klaatu Barada Nikto jokes throughout movie history, instead of just us geeks... :)

9. I can't wait - this is awesome news, totally

"Yo, Mrs. Benson. Little Bobby-dude and me, like totally checked out your town, you know, and he showed me this awesomely humongous statue of some dead dude and then some other place where a bunch of other dead dudes were like totally buried, you know, and I was like, 'who, little dude,' this place is like totally messed up."

"Then we like visited this old professor dude but he like wasn't home, you know, so we like snuck in, and I think I like might have like totally messed up some gobbledygook on like this blackboard by drawing some pictures of airplanes and playing tic-tac-toe with little Bobby-dude. He's pretty good, you know. The like this maid came in and like was going to call the cops. We was like just chillin, but we split."

"Can little Bobby-dude and me play some more tomorrow?"
