yeah but, but, butt

oh i get it, you're just trying to make me look like a BIGGER geek.

WELL!

i think the hulk was an adaptation of star wars episode 5 that went horribly
wrong.
anybody else catch the r2-d2 garbage can in bruce's lab?

the plot certainly makes more sense in that light.

well hey, being a pale 'merican, i don't wanna comment on "honor".

yes, i liked the little comic booky boxes,

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKED!!!

well, except for lou ferrigno leaving the police station in the beginning.
funny, i was the only person in the theater who yelled out:
"idiots!!! you let the real hulk get away!!! he's dressed like a police
officer!!!"

i think they were leaving it wide open for the sequel.

OUCH! hey, the cops usually just shine them...

well, heck, i'm not exactly a film maker.

i did tape one of my cats getting drilled by
a neighborhood tomcat when i was a kid.

i submitted it to the cannes film festival,
but they claim they lost it.

i also have a video of my brother trying to determine
how much height a cat needs to actually land on his feet.
there's a yardstick against the wall, and ted (my brother),
repeatedly picks up a cat, flips cat over, announces the height and drops the
cat.
then dad (the filmer) says, "ok, now try him 6 inches higher"

it was a science project.

he got an A.
