  • No one points out the surrealism of talking-animal movies.
  • Tell people you were an extra in Spiderman 3. They'll believe you.
  • Middle-Earth looks like New Zealand.

Then sit back in your seat; try to do it during a comedy, & see if they laugh at all during the movie.
  • I have no opinion of Molly Ringwald.
  • In my dreams, I can walk. My legs are strong.
