Thank god you didn't agree with Ingo or I would suggest seeing a doctor.
Phew! You mean somewhat agreeing with him isn't grounds for seeing a doctor? Thank goodness for that!
I do think I may need to see a doctor to get over the trama of having watched that horrible scene though. I am thinking about writing to Pixar and complaining. Maybe I'll even send them my doctor's bill.

Ah, I have come so far in forgetting that guy, I even forgot how to spell his name. But clearly, you knew who I was talking about, Mr. "Grammar & Spelling Nazi" Archivist.

I don't archive grammar and spelling. STOB IT!!!
Another interweb purchase turns out to be a lemon.
I paid for a copy of Vampira AKA Old Dracula with David Niven only to get a really crappy pirate transfer of a television broadcast (complete with station idents popping up all over the shop) recorded on VHS and slapped onto a DVD.
The cheeky beggar had better pay up with a full refund.
I am shocked that when I GIS my name, I don't get any porn. I get a bunch of Star Wars pictures and a picture of Pat Benatar.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

That reminds me of the movie Strange Wilderness. The only scene I thought was laugh worthy was the one of the shark

That's a goblin shark. So cool! (and Buckethead has a song called "Goblin Shark")

The person responsible for that graphic must have been my cousin Mickey. When we were kids he would insist that Han Solo was played by Billy Dee Williams and Lando Calrissian was played by Harrison Ford. He said it with such conviction I wondered then if I had the names right.

Billy Dee doesn't look that haggard, either. :p
Billy Dee- lookin' smooth as ever!
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

Classic FoxTrot from 1999:
You Rickrolled your own thread!
The only time I ever thought that practice was actually funny was when someone did it to Vince McMahon on live TV. Of course, he didn't get it. (he's woefully out of date in some ways) But the gif is cool!
When I read passages or quotes that use the following device, I get tickled:
There is no doubt that during the next fifteen to twenty years the chess world will witness the struggle of two exceptionally powerful talents - M. Tal and R. Fischer. - Mikhail Botvinnik, 1961
Yes, it's the "first initial, last name" trick. Apparently the Russians favor this sort of thing quite a bit; or maybe just the chessplayers do.
Here's are some passages from a protest letter (apparently it's not posted anywhere) written by Efim Geller, grandmaster coach to Boris Spassky during the 1972 World Championship:
...The letters mention, in particular, Mr. R. Fischer's chair...Why, for instance, does Mr. R. Fischer protest...Mr. F. Cramer's demand that Mr. R. Fischer should be given "his" particular chair...I would also like to note that having known Mr. B. Spassky for many years...
Hilarious.
I would appreciate feedback from everyone, but especially Mr. G. Tape, Mr. T. Frink, and Mr. B. Wings.

One of my favorite jokes, which I've seen used many times, goes along the following lines:
Look, I don't want to say too much about who is being a jerk. So let's just say his name is G. Tape...wait, that's too obvious. Let's say it is Gaffer T.
