He built it. They came. He made up with his dead dad. James Earl Jones gets to go to the good side of the force, but they kick him out when they realize that the cool breathing thing was just a special effect.

Every Disney sports movie ever made - the underdogs work hard, learn teamwork, appreciate each other, get into hijinks, end up in the championship game against the meanest team in town, lose miserably in the first half, come back in the second half, and are victorious thanks to an incredible performance by the least likely member of the good team.

X-files - Mulder’s right.

[The Trouble With Harry.](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0048750)

And the townspeople erect a fake town, fooling the desperadoes. The loveable losers from LePetomane University win the whitewater rafting contest. The Snuffalupagus is real. Ted Stryker overcomes his drinking problem and lands the plane safely. Ted Stryker overcomes his drinking problem and lands the spacecraft safely. _How To Serve Man_ is a cookbook.

There are at least ten movies here that I haven’t seen yet and now you’ve ruined them all for me. Especially the one where the butler did it, whooda thunk? I certainly hope you can all sleep tonight!

Since this isn’t the pit, all I can say is that I hope the next time y’all go home. Your mothers run from under the porch and bite you.

“You did it! You finally did it! Damn you all to hell!”

I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned The Crying Game yet, but before I could see the movie (not that I was that anxious to go), I was told

“You know, after seeing that movie, I wondered if I wasn’t a closet gay.”

No point in seeing the movie after hearing THAT!

Aw shit, I knew that one too. In fact, if you do a search, I posted about The Long Walk just a few days back.

So, give me a cookie too, or suffer the consequences.

P.S. Gonzo turned out to be an alien, but stayed on earth with Kermit.

The good guy stops the bomb just a second or less before it’s about to go off.  
Then the good guy dukes it out, one on one with the biggest, toughest, meanest bad guy, stopping just before killing him with his bare hands, saying, “you’re just not worth it”.  
Only moments later, the bad guy who was just pretending to be beaten, tries some devious trick to kill the good guy, and ends up meeting a grisly, horrid death after all. Just then all the police arrive and arrest any bad guys still alive.  
Then the good guy, bleeding, tired, and emotionally drained, stumbles off, ignoring his chief who is screaming at him to fill out a full report by tomorrow morning and put it on his desk. The chief is really pissed because he was about to put the good guy on suspension for breaking the rules, but now can’t because he just saved the world, but the good guy really knows that the sargeant secretly likes him and was just being pissy because he was getting pressure from the mayor.
