    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    i am soooo sick of all these retarded-ass spoof movies. i remember when "not another teen movie" came out, it was decent, but these days, there's an incredible amount of retarded spoofs, and they don't seem to stop:

    date movie
    epic movie
    scary movie 1, 2, 3, 4

    i'm sure there are others, but i've got better stuff to do right now than think of them.

    ENOUGH WITH THE FOOKIN SPOOF FILMS, EH?

    I saw bits of Scary Movie 4 on a movie channel the other day and I have to say that I thought it was funny....

    Anything that spoofs 300 can't be all bad. I liked how they ridiculed some aspects of it in the trailer.

    Have you seen any of the trailers, Neil? It looks like complete garbage. None of it looks funny at all, unless you're in like 9th grade and take remedial classes.

    i only respect scary movie 1,its the funniest and the movie company hadnt pushed the wayns brothers to the side yet. they screwed it all up by moving them off of their own project.

    But they brought in David Zucker. The king of...well...dumb comedy. He created such classics as Airplane!, Top Secret!, and The Naked Gun. The Wayan Brothers wrote the first three but didn't do the fourth film. Which is okay with me because ever since I heard they're making a Munsters movie i've wanted to kill them....
