->''"Their little band needed another [[DeadpanSnarker smartass]] like they needed ten years of bad luck."''

->''"I do wonder if in this case it might not be wise to drop Benny's glib nature and have her act in a genuinely scared manner for once. This time she is facing the God of Death animating the Doctor who is attempting to kill her. I know listeners who find Bernice unbearable because of her 'laugh in the face of danger' attitude and usually it works wonders but sometimes, ''sometimes'' it would be nice if she could drop the sarcasm and just be very, very afraid. By the end of the story she reaches that point and even sheds a few tears, but anybody who was expecting ''[[DoNotTauntCthulhu Bernice Summerfield Takes the Piss out of Sutekh]]'' might have all their fears met in the first half an hour."''

->''"[[Creator/DavidMamet Mamet]] is either trying way too hard to be clever with the dialog or is having some extended alone time with his own prose... [='=]''My motherfucker is so cool when he goes to sleep sheep count him. Do you know why the chicken crossed the road? Cause the road crossed the chicken. How long has Joe known her? How long is a Chinaman’s last name?''[='=] I can certainly see people turning on the movie due to lines like that. People have a certain level of suspension of disbelief and so they understand people talk more eloquently than they would in real life. But it reaches a point when every character is spouting cutesy bullshit that people reject it as too unrealistic. ''{{Film/Juno}}'' had the same problem when everyone talked in the same Diablo Cody hipster speak and some cannot get into [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] for the same reason."''

In [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers]], directed action scenes that could have been made by literally anybody, but also reimagined the superhero team as a Helicarrier full of sarcastic misfit divas, [[AuthorAppeal making the film identifiably his own]]; no other director of a Marvel movie has pulled that trick off nearly as well."''

->''[I]n classic Hollywood “screwball” comedies, comedy musicals, and Shakespearean comedy, almost everyone may display a formidable line in quick-witted repartee and wordplay, enabling anyone to play the joker when the plot permits; this is a convention of the form, and doesn’t imply that the participants are all ''really'' clever and quick-witted, any more than someone who gets an aria in an opera has to be thought of as a professional-grade singer (with their own orchestra) within the setting.''

->'''[[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers]]:''' I don't know why you want me there, anyway. Most likely everyone will have a much better time without me. I'll manage to piss off the waitress in the first five minutes, and we'll get lousy service all night.\\
'''Hank [=McCoy=]:''' We were discussing the concept of risk, correct? You pissing the waitress off is a risk we take bringing you anywhere, Scott.\\
'''Scott Summers:''' Warren's bringing Candy, so you know Candy and I will be sniping at each other all night. That woman annoys me.\\
'''Hank [=McCoy=]:''' Couldn't tell. You hid it so well when you asked her how she feels about promoting a superficial, anorexic culture to young women all over the world.
