sometimes I watch movies

Troy: Enough with the elegiac moaning. Christ.

Of greater potential interest: Futurama (Bender's Big Score) — disappointing! I've read the continuity-obsessed script described as an attempt to reward loyal fans, but it comes off more as an attempt by the (presumably) new writers to prove that they've watched the original series carefully. It's great that they enjoyed those episodes. I did, too! But the invocation of their jokes often amounts to repetition. The whole experience reminded me of finding myself at a party, stuck listening to someone recite genuinely funny material that I could already recollect perfectly well without the benefit of a new, much worse performance.

On a more positive note, I should mention that there's a sass-talking robot.

is that last comment about me? I thought everybody loved the Sonic the Hedgehog story.

 

What? No, not as far as I know. Now I'm very confused.

 

Oh! Now I reread it and see that you're probably not referring to the sass-talking robot line.

No, you and pretty much everyone I know these days are good about only deploying quotes properly. But c'mon, surely you've found yourself faced with an extended Mr. Show recitation before. It can get rough.
