80% of all income is made by men. 80% of income is spent by women
In most countries, a quota law ensures that - in case of equal qualifications - a female applicant has to get the job if more than 50% of the employees are male. No such law is in place for men.
Women have fought their way into every men’s club and organisation, and are now able to enforce their membership by law. Would you dare demanding access to a women’s group?
A lot of venues organise ‘ladies’ nights’ - similar events for gentlemen would be illegal

Ok, let's see those arguments of yours, one by one:

1- I've never allowed a woman to pay anything at all in a date. But that's me.
2- Maybe because there are more women watching TV then men. Some women don't work.
3- That's because kids are usually emotionally connected to the mother, but I've seen the opposite happen more than once. Besides, sometimes the divorce happened because the father violently abused the children, it's very rare hearing of a mother beating up their kids.
4- That's because, unfortunally, it's harder for women to have jobs. And do you think they spend all those 80% only on buying things to herselves? (80, really? where do you get those numbers?)
5- I don't think you even NEED such a law. If both qualify, hire the woman, that's what I've always said.
6- I'm not sure I understood what you meant, but... uh, depends on the "group"...
7- Please be more specific. I'm not sure there is any law in the world that allows women to do something, and men don't.

Jimbo, perhaps you've been watching "Married with Children" too many times. Maybe you could try being like Andy Kaufman and challenge them to a wrestling match!

Who would have thought that after 27 years, Star Wars' great villain, Lord Darth Vader, would eventually be called a "horny kid".

BTW, Jedis do have a vow of castity, right? Well, we're lucky Anakin decided to let his hormones explore Padme's body... It could be worse... Yes, pedophile priests comes to mind...

I'm in Brazil. But don't worry Rikter, I'll give it a second thought, and count all the coins inside my little pig safe after I break it with my trusty hammer, and if I have enough money to convert it to dollars (R$3.00 ~= US$1.00), then I'll be sure to send you an e-mail. But do you have any idea how much it would cost me, in US dollars?

Oh, oh, here's a good cliche: a movie set in the 60s with either "House of Rising sun" or "turn turn turn" on the background score.

Oh ok sory.

The fish slapping sketch is not featured in any of their movies (it could be on "And now for something completly different", I'm not sure), it's on their TV series, Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Cool, quite tempting... Unfortunally it would cost me a fortune to ship these things to where I live, and I'm a little bit unsure when buying DVDr, not sure it would work on my DVD set (works fine on my computer, but I want to watch it on my TV).

Funny you've said that. Has anyone seen the Episode 1 behind the cameras documentary, back when it was released, in 1999? I remember hearing the ILM animators talking about Jar Jar and other CGI characters, and saying "We don't want a 'Roger Rabbit' effect on these characters. We don't want that. We wan't people to belive these characters are really there."

Titanic is like Rocky. It's pure crap, when you look closer, but it's kinda fun if you ignore the major character (stalone's or caprio's), and both won undeserved oscars.

It's not unusual to see it on a IRC chat room something like "ricarleite slaps warbler in the face with a large trout".

And yes, it's from that wonderful silly fish-slapping Monty Python sketch.

I don't think it's so "unfortunally".

Now, what I was really afraid when I was a kid was: astronauts (I found it eerie and creepy, not really afraid of), and Judge Doom from "Roger Rabbit", that one really f**ked my brains out. When Judge Doom gets crushed by that roller compressor thing, what I had left of sanity was throw out of the window there (back when I was 6, when I watched it for the first time, in 1988).

Today, I'm kinda afraid of heights when there's nothing below me. I can get into a tall building and look down with no problems, but I could not possibly get into a helicopter or a baloon. I'm afraid of airplanes too, when I get into one, I'm positivly sure it'll crash. And I dislike reptiles. And that's it.

How about we do it? Anyone here is into low budget flim making? A movie student perhaps? We could get a Michael Moore look-alike and a George Lucas look-alike, and he goes to Lucas home:

Over the intercom:
"Hi, this is Michael Moore, I'm doing a film about special editions and director's cuts and all that stuff, and I'm wondering if I could talk to you..."
"Tell you what, I can't fit you in my schedule tomorrow morning 8am."

The next morning, he is invited to his home, and they talk:

"I'm a Star Wars fan, you know? Here's my Hyperspace code..."
"Good for you... Good for you..."
"So... uh... why did you decide to alter your movies?"

And George Lucas in a Lucasarts reunion, with a film roll in his hands:

"I have only five words for you... FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!"

How about "Super Size Jabba", "Bowling for Coruscant", "Fahrenheit 01/31/1997" (special edition release), or "George and Me"? The truth story of how George (Lucas, not Dubya) got insane and decided to destroy his own creation... Hey, a Michael Moore spoof AND a Star Wars fan film, all in one! Ain't that a great idea?

From the Michael Moore website:

"Fahrenheit 9/11" beat the opening weekend of "Return of the Jedi."

And to people in Brazil reading this... thanks to the known bizarre incompetence of the local film distributors, the opening date over here changed from july 9th, to "soon". Yes, we've seen it happening before: Kill Bill was delayed at the last minute 6 times, and Woody Allen movies usually take 2 years to get here. Bowling for Columbine was originally shown at only one theater once, and re-released in about... 10 screens a few months after the 2003 oscars.

I've read on numerous ocasions that Harrison Ford was supposed to do a complex fight scene with that man, but he was not feeling so well - as most of the crew was sick too - and asked if he couldn't just shoot the guy. They all found out to be a very funny idea, and did it. I'm not so sure the story is real tough. Felt kinda scripted, didn't feel like it was improvised on the set.

I know. I mentioned it because it's one of my biggest fears. #2 actually:

1- Turtles bitting me while I'm asleep
2- Death of Don Knotts
3- Airplane pilots
4- A Jesus idol thing gaining life thru magic, getting out of the cross and fist-fighting with me without saying a word
5- People laughing at me in my funeral
6- McG
7- A clown with a gun coming to the office and threatening my life and the life of my co-workers
8- The melting nazis from "Riders of the Lost Ark"
9- Astronauts
10- Cristopher Lloyd's Judge Doom character from "who framed roger rabbit"

Marlon Brando died... So, that means Al Pacino is the head of the Corleone family now... He was a good actor, altough I belive he overacted sometimes (one eyed jack, maybe last tango), and in other times he just didn't care (superman, don juan de marco).

First Reagan, now Brando... Who's next? I bet it'll be Don Knots!

There's always the "I am a lousy screenwritter" cliches:

* It was all a dream.

* The 2001-ape-throwing-bone-to-the-sound-of-spoke-zaratrusta-or-whatever-its-called scene.

* "You won this time (hero's name), but I'll get you next time! Huahahaha!"

* Magical teardrops that make people ressurect, flowers grow, miracles happen (also known as the "Teardrop Deus Ex Machina" cliche)

* The first thing someone with amnesia says is: "where am I? who am I?"

* Teenage party getting out of control, and the owner of the house is desperadly trying to clean up thing before parents get back (95% of Wonder Years episodes)

* The substitute teacher who gets to teach in a classroom full of poor kids who listen to hip hop at the classroom, curse all the time and spray grafitti al over, and are too dumb to learne. In the end, the dumbest, meanest kid gets graduates and gets a diploma, all thanks to the alternative way of teaching of the substitute teacher (I've seen about 20 movies with this exactly same plot).

* Kid travels back in time to medieval-england-king-arthur-and-the-round-table-like era. He/she uses technology as if it was magic to save the day (ditto).

* "I have a bad feeling about this" (hmmnnn...)
