Quote of the Day


Kirk: Do you know the one, ‘All I ask is a tall ship’? 

McCoy: It’s a line from a poem. A very old poem, isn’t it? 

Kirk: 20th century Earth. ‘All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by’. You could feel the wind at your back in those days. The sounds of the sea beneath you. And even if you take away the wind and the water, it’s still the same. The ship is yours. You can feel her. And the stars are still there, Bones.

Quote of the Day


Giles: (examining vampire Willow) It’s extraordinary. 

Willow: It’s horrible! That’s me as a vampire? I’m so evil and… skanky… and I think I’m kinda gay. 

Buffy: Willow, just remember, a vampire’s personality has nothing to do with the person it was.

Angel: Well, actually… (Buffy shoots him a look) That’s a good point.

Quote of the Day


Lorelai: There goes the fire chief, the police chief and the one paramedic with a valid license. I feel safe, don’t you?

Luke: Look at them, all relatively intelligent men, but there they are dressed up in costumes, standing out in a snowstorm, and for what?

Lorelai: Because it’s tradition.

Luke: Tradition is a trap, it allows people to stick their head in the sand. Everything in the past was so quaint, so charming. Times were simpler. Kids didn’t have sex. Neighbors knew each other. It’s a freaking fairy tale. Things sucked then, too. It just sucked without indoor plumbing.

Review: Warcraft

Sometimes it can be a lot of fun watching a bad movie. I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching awful movies like Battlefield Earth, Howard the Duck, Plan 9 from Outer Space, or The Room. The best bad movies are often a work of passion by the filmmakers, whose vision may be horribly misguided but who are fully committed to the dumpster fire they’ve created. The result is often unintended hilarity, and even in some cases a sense of admiration for those who dedicated themselves to such a glorious trainwreck. A bad movie can find a life for itself so long as it’s memorable, but what it can’t afford to be is derivative, bland, uninspired, phoned-in, and boring. Warcraft is all of these things, not just awful but utterly forgettable.

Quote of the Day


Saffron: Are you gonna kill me?

Mal: What?! What kind of crappy planet is that? Kill you?

Saffron: In the maiden’s home I heard talk of men who weren’t pleased with their brides —

Mal: Well I ain’t them! And don’t you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill ’em right back! Look, wife or no, you are no one’s property to be tossed aside. You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people. I mean, you know… people that are… That’s a dumb planet.
