Doug: And no one said "Play it again Sam" either..
Sure they did - people have been saying it ever since the movie came out. It's not in the movie, but it's been said just about everywhere else. In fact it's such a fixture in pop culture that the movie really ought to be 'corrected' to match expectations, like when old B/W movies are colorized. Correct the past, not the future - it's easier.

Ah Phil, you beat me to it.
 And incidentally, Jeff7 picked a pretty good quote for Bob. "Alas poor Bob Shaw. I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy" Sounds a lot like Bob, aside from Yorick being dead and all. -------------------- Popper: A party entertainment, filled with confetti and a small explosive charge.

Just thought to let you know I contacted Joe Knapp. Everything's fine with him, which is nice to hear. He's just been too busy with other things lately to drop by more often. He'll be back, sure enough.

QUOTE (ugordan @ Aug 22 2006, 10:48 AM)  Just thought to let you know I contacted Joe Knapp. Everything's fine with him, which is nice to hear. He's just been too busy with other things lately to drop by more often. He'll be back, sure enough. That's great news, his posts were usually highly interesting. Actually a slight relief as well since I emailed him a few months ago and didn't get a reply. |
