Quote of the Day

Jayne: Boy’s going to get us killed. Let’s just do this deal and git.

Mal: His disguise ain’t half as funny as yours. Who’re you supposed to be, anyway?

Wash: You haven’t been here in years, Jayne. You really think you need that getup? No one’s going to remember you.

Mal: I think it’s possible they might.

(they come across Jayne’s statue)

Simon: Son of a bitch.

Review: Doctor Strange

The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps expanding, seemingly showing no signs of stopping. Each new film brings us new heroes to fight new villains, new locations or planets filled with people to save, and new clashes and conflicts to bring characters together or drive them apart. But while Doctor Strange certainly continues the trend, it broadens the universe in entirely new ways, pushing not only the boundaries of superhero storytelling but of visual craftsmanship. It’s a mind-bending head trip of a film, which attempts to introduce a spiritual aspect to an otherwise science fiction series, all while serving up some of the most creative and exhilarating action sequences in recent memory. Doctor Strange may stick to the tried and true Marvel origin story formula, but it’s a fun ride anchored by a strong cast and impressive effects, and it offers an intriguing glimpse into the potential future of this ever-expanding Universe.

Kirk: Mister Scott, you old space dog. You’re well?

Scotty: I had me a wee bout, sir, but Doctor McCoy pulled me through.

Kirk: Oh? A wee bout of what?

McCoy: Shore leave, Admiral.

Kirk: Ah. … Well, shall we start with the Engine Room?

Scotty: We’ll see you there, sir, and everything is in order.

Quote of the Day

(the Gang is watching a security tape)

Cordelia: Look! Right there, zoom in on that. 

Xander: It’s a videotape. 

Cordelia: So? They do it on television all the time. 

Xander: Not with a regular VCR they don’t. 

Wesley: Perhaps we could stay on the topic for once. What were you doing this afternoon? 

Cordelia: What? Um, I was… 

Xander: Burning a hole in daddy’s wallet, as usual. I just bumped into her during my tuxedo hunt. 

Oz: What’s that? Pause it. 

Xander: Guys! It’s just a normal VCR. It doesn’t… Oh wait, uh, it can do pause.

Quote of the Day

Luke: Yeah well, can I get you anything?

Lorelai: Oh, um, do you think you could make those really crazy chocolate chip pancakes and go extra heavy on the chocolate?

Luke: Yeah sure, any special occasion?

Lorelai: Dean broke up with Rory.

Luke: What?!

Lorelai: Keep it down, she doesn’t want anybody to know about it.

Luke: Oh I knew it, I just knew that kid was trouble.

Lorelai: Yes you did, you knew it. Pancakes please.

Luke: Oh God, he’s got a nerve. I mean what does he think he’s gonna do better than Rory? Is he crazy? Jeez. Alright, well forget it ok. Good riddance, adios, bienvenidos, hasta la vista.

Lorelai: Could we get off the small world ride and start cooking please?

Luke: How is she?

Lorelai: She’s been dumped by her first boyfriend.

Luke: Oh man, I swear I would love to — ok, I’m gonna put some whipped cream on the pancakes too.

(a few minutes later)

Luke: More coffee? Pancakes are coming right up, anything else I can get you?

Rory: No thanks.

Luke: Hey I’ve got some strawberries back there, you like strawberries don’t you?

Rory: Yeah I like strawberries but —

Luke: I’m getting you strawberries.

Quote of the Day

Kaylee: Captain, don’t you think Simon should come with us?

Simon: What? Oh, Kaylee, I don’t—I don’t think that…

Book: You go on, boy. See the sights. I can watch over your sister. I believe we’ve been developing a rapport.

(River acts all sweet, innocent, and well-behaved…)

Simon: I—I don’t know, River can be…

Book: Go on. I’m a Shepherd, after all. I should be able to keep my eye on a flock of one.

Mal: I’m not going that far, Doctor, and you might maybe make yourself useful.

Jayne: Come again?

Mal: The management here don’t take kindly to sight-seers, which is why we’re posing as buyers. There ain’t a one of us looks the part more than the good Doctor. I mean, the pretty fits… soft hands, definitely a moneyed individual. All rich and lily-white, pasty all over…

Simon: All right. Fine. I’ll go. Just stop describing me.
