Fight the Nazis again with this double-feature!
Reply
Back in late May I watched two sci-fi Nazi films. The first, Iron Sky (Nazis on the moon). The second, Nazis at the Center of the Earth (Nazis at the center... well, I think that's obvious).
Iron Sky wasn't bad at first, I would even say I was intrigued at the beginning. It quickly turned into a political satire, and not a good one. Apparently, the United States eventually vote in a Sarah Palin-esque president, which might be funny, but it wasn't, just really annoying. The special effects Read more [...]
If I were ever in a zombie apocalypse (or "infected" apocalypse or whatever) and I saw a zombie walking towards me, I wouldn't think, "Oh dear, how will ever dispatch of this zombie?

-Teddy (Joe Pantoliano), from Memento
I haven't seen Memento for a few years, but after remembering this quote a few days ago (I joked with one of my students about the time being "beer o'clock"), I checked out more from the movie and realized how much I liked it. I really dug it when it came out in 2001 and I remember seeing it a few times in Germany and back in Colorado. Really original plot and concept, good acting, great lines.

I read this quote in Fox's book Lucky Man back in 2001 or so. I've always been a fan since Back to the Future is still at the top of my favorite movies list.
I dug this quote up when I was looking through a "quote book" that my old roommate Himal and I started writing down funny things when we lived together. A lot of them are from our friends, but there are also some from movies and books. I may find a few more and put them 
Ryan here. We watched 2009's Star Trek last night. I'd not seen it before, but it was on Netflix. I was afraid they might take it off come June, so I thought we should check it out. I'm definitely a Star Wars partisan, but I enjoy the Trek world, too. It's just much bigger and I have to admit that I've only seen the original movies, and that was when I was still in high school. And I'm fine with that--it just seems like if I really wanted to try to get into Star Trek, it would take me the rest
