    Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt in Spaceballs Sequel

    I see three issues with Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money: 1) The original movie doesn't really have a plot. It's more just a joke delivery system with just enough plot to string it all together. There's not a whole lotta there there to make a story where it'll make sense to have the...

    Last Classic Who Story you watched

    ...the awakened humans may be as compartmentalized as humanity itself was, but it's so well done. Right down to "Granovox Turbines" and a subtle in-joke with "Bennett Oscillator", a nod to director Rodney Bennett. He must also like Star Trek since the freeze-dried humans are in different...

    Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt in Spaceballs Sequel

    Man, the comments I have been reading at some boards. Don't like the jokes, doesn't hold up, haven't watched it in a super long time ... I think some people's Schwartz have gone flaccid.

    Nemesis is better than Insurrection: Convince me otherwise.

    I don't care for the space battle in Nemesis. Not at all. I thought it was just a cookie cutter, by the numbers bit of sci-fi action. I think the space battles in DS9 are far, far superior.

    Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt in Spaceballs Sequel

    I joked in another thread that if Commander Riker had been turned into a Borg instead of Picard, when Picard fired on the cube, Erectus the Borg (Riker) would shoot out of the cube with two Borg spheres side-by-side and above them a Borg probe aiming straight out. Something like that could be...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    That's the joke, yes.

    Nemesis is better than Insurrection: Convince me otherwise.

    ...the name) class is disapointing. Hellboy had great moments. In Insurrection, it annoys me that another race is on par techno wise with the federation. I liked how Admiral Doughty was not completely diabolical. Some of the jokes land. I liked the leader's darkseid outfit. Holoships feel...

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    ...Or you have a very selective memory or confuse me for someone else. For a start, I waffle endlessly, pontificate and lay down opinions and jokes, but rarely ask questions. As to my progressive bona fides, well, there’s no sensible way to prove such things, nor do I have to frankly. People...

    Star Trek: Lower Decks - CF083 - "Q the Craziness"

    ...Continuum told you about interfering with primitive, miniscule minded mortals?” “Hey,” Boimler looked offended. “But dearest. It was just a joke,” Q yelped squirming in her grasp. “Simple fun and games.” “I’ll show you a game!” The other Q roared tightening her grip. “How about I carry out...

    I haven't outgrown that type of humor! I will def give this a look, if just for Mel.

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    Han Solo kind of wanted to take out Greedo though for awhile. Constantly calling him a nerf herder and Maclunkey and joking about how he got his name from some security checkpoint guard. He wouldn't let up on the guy.

    The Naked Gun (2025) Teaser trailer

    All of these gags,and the OJ one and the coffee cup being handed over in the dramatically lit driving down the street bit. The first trailer had me, ehhh. But this new one sold me. Now, watch, it'll be one of those movies where all of the funny ones are in the trailers.

    The Naked Gun (2025) Teaser trailer

    Yeah, I could expect at least one joke geared at the Taken series. "Oh no, I won't be taken. You can rest easy, I'm a professional." Meanwhile, everything disintegrates around him, as hinted in the trailer. And meanwhile, he probably gets told he's worse than his father was with disaster...

    Attitude of different non - Federation characters toward the Prime Directive

    The Prime Directive, as practiced in more modern Trek, is a cruel joke.

    Inside Man: Troi’s threat

    ...tell when someone’s bluffing.” Troi: “Try me.” Leosa: “Ha ha, good one!” Troi: “I’m glad you liked it.” Leosa: “As long as we’re swapping jokes, I’ve got one for you.” Troi: “Lay it on me!” From there they establish a rapport and develop empathy. Leosa starts to feel remorse and...

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    ...but close-to-the-bone criticism. The fact *an actual line from the episode* is right there in the performance, and doesn’t seem out of place is part of what makes it such damning satire. Though, they did miss out on having someone get offered a job. That’s become a running joke at this point.

    Siskos prejudice?

    ...We see him not giving his best effort in school. He never showed any sense of discipline. I thought Nog's request at the beginning was a joke or scheme when it first aired, not only for those listed reasons but Nog showed NO indication he wanted to join Starfleet. Even Jake had no idea...

    Don't you understand? It is real! I created it and it's real! It's real!

    Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

    Yeah, I wasn't keen on how they handled that joke, but there was a joke there to be made. When the diverse cast only exists to be hugged and then just stands around for the rest of the episode, there are real problems there. When the writer makes a point of the trans woman vanishing because...
