it's not mentioned in that clip, was it supposed to be?

when Peter, Michael, and Samir decide to take revenge by infecting Initech's accounting system with a computer virus designed by Michael to divert huge numbers of fractions of pennies into a bank account one of them says it's just like in the start of Superman 3

Fast and the Furious (One of them.) One of the ones with Dwayne Johnson or the Rock. And I am pretty sure that Dwayne Johnson isn't in all of the Fast and Furious movies. This one is going to take some work. And I might be wrong about it. But he or whoever his character is, goes to Britain and possibly London I am guessing. And he goes to a Police Station and he chauvinistically tries to take over the operations of the Police station. Kinda of a hilarious scene to me actually, and I am not really a fan of the Fast of the Furious. Like I said I will have to do some work to find out which one this is.

The Police Chief (I am assuming) gets up as Dwayne Johnson is trying to shake his hand and he says something like, "Well Wook at what we Ave Here! If It isn't Captain America!" Sarcastically as if he has just been greeted by the Prime Minister of Montenegro. Pretty funny (funnier and more on spot than the Highlander Name check. In my opinion.) Actually I think the line would have been funnier in my opinion if the Police chief would have said "if it isn't the Prime Minister of Montenegro." Maybe the Rock would have punched him in the face, who knows. Captain America is actually pretty endearing and complimentary.

I've seen Office Space like twelve times and I don't remember them saying anything about SuperMan III. I remember an Eddie Murphy comedy skit once where he mentioned it because he was doing a joke about Richard Pryor. Seems like I remember some love romance movie. Maybe Harry Met Sally or perhaps some Woody Allen movie where they keep referencing or name checking Harold and Maude. Gosh I wish I could remember what that movie was! Maybe Annie Hall?

Yeah I mean I am not knocking the writers for Masters of the Universe. I am glad that there is employment for these people. Especially in this economy, it is great I guess — I would rather them working on this than I guess doing something else.

Good analogy about the Broth. You are making me hungry now. I guess I really don't sweat this stuff anymore. I have gotten to where — if a movie is 25 percent watchable then I can literally create the other part of it. Almost like CRISPR gene editing. Of course me doing that hurts the rewatch ability of it. But hey alls fair in love and war. It is like when I saw C. Thomas Howell recently at some theatre talking about himself and his movies. And someone asked him about Gettysburg. She said she was a teacher and that she showed Gettysburg to her class. And C Thomas Howell said, "Oh YOU Poor thing!! That..Uh..That is like over three hours long!" I'm like dude, Gettysburg may actually be your best movie. I wonder what is going on in these people's heads. Like maybe it is something worse than a broth and perhaps there such a thing as too much motivation. Maybe there is some truth to these theories about how these people are trying to erect the Tower of Babel again..I sort of miss the good old days when the discussion was about too much violence in movies. Now the discussion is about how we have to be the Missionaries for hollywood because they care more about private investment than telling a story.
Someone needs to do a Golden corral smash on these people's heads.

QuoteThe Origin of 'Clam Up?'


Clams are shy, taciturn,

restrained.

They don't flaunt their pleasure

or pain.


Clams are cloisterous.

They are not boisterous.


if they were, they'd be ...

oysterous

-GL

Stupid but semi charming poem I just read about oysters. I mean why can't these Bay type movies do something fun like that?

Ok..Spaceballs. Name Check Rambo. Joan Rivers in the C3P0 Parody telling Princess Vespa, Oh come on you ain't Rambo!
Now there was a 2008 movie called Rambo. And this is a Star Wars kind of movie, so she was being prophetic possibly? Either way I will give her the waive and say she meant Rambo: First Blood Part II.

BRAINSTARE (2026): AI can visualize vistas far beyond humanity's meager capacity, so if you're going to make what you proclaim is the world's first AI feature (not true, BTW), where would your imagination lead you? Obviously, you would want a scenario of two people arguing in an apartment for 90 minutes, followed by another 45 minutes of your protagonist arguing with a different character. It's all about a corporate drone in a dystopian future objecting to his employer's plan to scan his brain (which is standard procedure, they assure us). The first act is literally an incredibly, painfully repetitive argument with his lover/amiable companion/coworker in their apartment about his objections to the procedure, which, again, lasts for an interminable 90 MINUTES! A disclaimer at the beginning assures us that all dialogue was written by a human being: I believe that's true, but a human being who learned English by reading only 19th century poetry and contemporary science fiction, and who has never had an actual interaction with another person. I get AFTER LAST SEASON vibes from this, but with a bigger vocabulary and worse acting. There are so many ridiculous lines in this thing I may have to make a separate list.
"You are quivering like a bag of ferrets. Like a bag of quivering ferrets."
"Is the sex pleasure you get from me unenjoyable?"
"Weeping is part of your job description."
"Don't take umbrage at the ogle."
"Every day is the day of Me, for I am Mr. Me!"
"With all of the semen I spent on her, I could sire a small city!"
"You couldn't rape your way out of a paper bag."

Terrible. Painful. Uncanny. Amazing. Free on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHqAc3pXELo&t=7s

Just a little too late for HOTEL RWANDA, unfortunately.

94. SUDDEN DEATH (JC Van Damme) Set during a (fictional) Stanley Cup finals in 1995.

This was not the JCVD movie I was referencing earlier. (Turns out I was wrong about that one ending in 1994).
