I cry whenever the President gives his speech. Will it really take human extermination by aliens to bring us together?




On another note, how did Jeff Goldblum get any work ever other than as Brundlefly?

It was also better than 10,000 BC. Roland Emmerich has pretty much been pooping on moviegoers since the closing credits of Stargate.

some examples:

LADY
Dust children. Disgusting.
GUNG-HO
Uh, what are dust children?
LEATHERNECK
Street orphans. Kids fathered by American soldiers during the war. Come on.

MAINFRAME
The, uh, handle's Mainframe. And you're...?
"SGT. WEEDLER"
Sergeant Carol Weedler. I'm assigned to aid in the installation of secret computer equipment.
MAINFRAME
Hang loose on the military rigamarole. You're workin' with me now. Let's go somewhere and talk, y'know, so I can fill you in on the big picture.
"SGT. WEEDLER"
I think I've got the "big picture," and if it includes making a pass at me, I'll have you up on harrassment charges faster than you can spit!
MAINFRAME
Geez, you sound like my ex-wife!

i was like "what the?"
