So, I gave him tons of drugs which caused him to blow up like a balloon, and then just, blow up. Kinda like that psychic guy from that film Daisuke was talking about - I mean, the actual guy, not some lazy blue and yellow recolour.

But eventually the changes did come back and it was getting too scary for me…scary and stupid. I mean, ugh, Space Jam, heeeellllooo! That movie was terrible! And don’t get me started on Baby Looney Tunes! Whose bright idea was it to turn everybody into babies?!? You can’t party with babies! I didn’t mind the Duck Dodgers one too much, I guessed, but things were getting a lot more dangerous for good ol’ Party Pony.

Lorne Michaels: All right, Nic. If you're going to talk about killer bods, I think you should mention... Sofia Coppola.
Nicolas Cage: (grabs Lorne) Hey! That's my cousin!"
Lorne Michaels: You see? I-I-I-I did that to make a point. You see, when you're talking about someone that's close to you it's different, isn't it?

Lorne Michaels: Don't worry, you'll be fine.

"Did you have a chance to read the novel I sent you?"
As he continues musing, I find myself growing rather queasy: an odd smell is building in the room. "Yes, I read it. I'll even tell you what I think of it," he says, his voice dropping a full octave. The guttural sound that follows mutates into a raspy, grating sound. As his facade is dropped, I see the vampire for what he really is: his blonde hair turns into greasy dreadlocks; his skin withers into a brittle reptilian cast. He hunches in his chair, and suddenly, the faint aroma of perfume I found so delightful becomes the unspeakable tang of a bathroom urinal cake.
"What's the matter, kid? Who were you expecting, Brad Pitt?" The next sound on my tape recorder is the prolonged sound of retching as I vomit profusely.

"The only one that stands out among [the emoji characters] is the Patrick Stewart Poop, who might as well be the official mascot of Sony Animation: a poorly-drawn piece of crap that spews out jokes that no one with a sense of humor would think it's funny."

Jesus, it's like asking a "karen" to put on a mask.

In Twilight, vampires can go approximately 1-2 weeks between meals. Now, for 3.5 books the Cullen clan comprises of seven members. So that adds up to 175-350 exsanguinated animal bodies left behind per year- something which the US forest service would find highly alarming. Similarly, the Volturi with its seven members would be leaving behind that many human bodies. While the locals of Volterra may not necessarily notice that tourists were going missing, the friends and families of the tourists certainly would, and it wouldn't be long before Volterra developed a reputation as a literal tourist trap. "Okay, but that's Twilight," you might say, "Surely other books are better?"

Take Eragon for example. It's like the hideous mutated offspring of Star Wars and Lord of the rings set atop a dragon. The fact that there's a dragon that the hero gets to ride tends to distract people from the fact that the story is a gibbering monster.

Our story begins in a low-budget superstore. That's right, Walmart!

Producer: Plus, Sophie Turner is playing Jean Grey now, we get to put her front and center. You know, she is really popular coz of Game of Thrones.

    Real Life 
"It was a big year for 3D movies. Toy Story, Despicable Me, Tron. Seems like everything this year was three-dimensional. Except the characters in The Tourist.
"Nothing for Sex and the City 2? No, I was sure the Golden Globe for special effects would go to the team that airbrushed that poster. Great job. Girls, we KNOW how old you are. I saw one of you in an episode of Bonanza, for [bleep] sake."

"There is a scene in this movie where a penguin bites Dane Cook in the crotch. I'd like to find that penguin and buy it a drink."

"We are sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them. What you’re gonna hear on stage is live music. All the bombs are real. All the music is real. The guys you see on stage playing their instruments are playing their instruments. No karaoke singers allowed. No fake bullshit. Leave that to the Rihanna, Schmihanna and anybody who ends their name with an ‘A.’ This is real stuff."

Bon Jovi was one of the four finalists in the "Worst Rock Band Ever" competition. But they didn’t take the overall prize. If I did a “Worst Country Artist Ever” competition, there is little doubt in my mind that Garth Brooks would take the title in a cake walk. Plus...when things are wet, they are slippery, so that album title makes sense. What the hell does Ropin’ the Wind mean, though? It sounds like some cryptic name for a fart to me.
