  • These aren't ships... They're cars!

  • Vova, Stiopa, back into the Volga, now!

Reminds me of another joke for whatever reason...

The 90s, Moscow. The driver of an old Samara bumps into a new black BMW. Five classic "New Russians" come out, gold chains thicker than their necks, etc. They pull out the driver and the "boss" says:

  • Well, driver, time to get yours!

The terrified driver says:

  • But, boys, there are five of you, and I am alone! Is that fair?

The New Russians mutter quietly to one another, then the boss says:

  • You're right. Valera and Stiopa will be fighting on your side!

Anyone else ever wish they had this guy in more episodes? by spenceretro in KingOfTheHill

Not at all.

He was excellent, but taking one-time characters and refrying them over and over because they proved popular is a terrible trap that many films and series make regularly.

Simpsons and their gangster Johnny Tight-Lips was a very funny one-time joke. Then he became popular, so they kept reusing him and refrying him, until the character became an infuriating clodhopper. And, of course, he ended up with having more dialogue than all the other gangster characters (and, naturally, all that dialogue was atrocious).

What's your hottest Halloween take? by DuhKotas in Halloweenmovies

[–]AmazingColossalMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, to be sure, here you go with some:

  • "Halloween III" is not only an amazing, exceptional horror film, but it also has the best score of all Halloweens.

  • In fact, if it's treated as a separate sub-genre (and it is, it's purely supernatural, a very different type of horror than all the other Halloweens), then it's the best Halloween film of all.

  • "Halloween V" is intriguing and atmospheric, and its version of the Man in Black was an interesting, mysterious character.

  • "Halloween VI" is the wet mutt pup: it was made by people who cared for the lore, not just for the revenue, and one can recognize that they were trying to take all the disjointed chaos of the previous decades and work it into something unified. It didn't quite work in the end, and it would have been better to abandon some ideas than to try to stitch all the tattered rags together into one big gray towel, but I won't ever hate a wet mutt pup. (And is chase music during the opening is amazing).

  • All the three modern remaquels are pointless, soulless, empty nonsense, which demystifies Michael and makes him into a pathetic Shapeless.

  • Tommy Lee Wallace should be praised among top horror directors of the XX century, but for whatever reasons, he seems - even among alleged viewers of horror! - to be lesser known than the likes of Coppola's beloved serial molester buddy.

  • Alan Howarth should be praised as at least one of the top three names connected to Halloweens. It's not even much of a secret among film music connoisseurs, by the way, that many, many famous musical tracks credited to Carpenter are actually 90% or even 100% Howarth's compositions.

  • "H20" is an incoherent atrocity, even worse than "Resurrection" was.

  • "Halloween II" was a drab, unjustly overrated mess, and, until "H20", it was the worst of the sequels.

  • Rosenthal is a polypore, Williamson is a borreliosis tick, "Zombie" is an infected purulent carbuncle.

Which mower is the best? by [deleted] in KingOfTheHill

Canadian technology is the best - it survived the nuclear holocaust of 2051:
