From Buche: 50 Things I Learned From The Movies.
Some highlights:
- WOMEN IN PRISON ARE THE CLEANEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, SINCE THEY SEEM TO SHOWER EVERY FIVE MINUTES.
- MOST EXTRATERRESTRIALS SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH OR JAPANESE.
- THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A PLAGUE THAT AT SOME POINT WIPED OUT MOST BLACK PEOPLE, SINCE WE SELDOM SHOW UP IN THE FUTURE.
- IT MUST BE ILLEGAL TO BE LESS THAN STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL IN ITALY, SPAIN, BRAZIL, AND FRANCE. THERE ARE APPARENTLY NO AVERAGE LOOKING PEOPLE IN ANY OF THESE COUNTRIES…EXCEPT GERARD DEPARDIEU AND ROBERTO BENIGNI.
And, of course
- WHEN HE WASN’T KILLING PEOPLE, THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER WAS A PRETTY COOL GUY.
