Things I have never seen in a movie

1. Someone apologizing to a large reptile

2. A dragon who knows a really good recipe for dark chocolate cheesecake

3. A tap-dancing virus

4. A supervillain eating lunch at McDonalds

5. A creature that is part moose, part frog, and part poodle

6. My house

7. Someone successfully removing a mustard stain from a pink shirt

Nice blog. I will be back for more!

Didn't 1&2 happen in one of the Shrek movies? Damn, I've gotta pay more attention.

I should think #1 showed up in some movie, somewhere, sometime (ooops, are you hearing a song from West Side story now?)

I just know I've seen #3 somewhere; and #5 was...oh...no wait...that was a jackalope...my bad!

Okay, okay...so they're not tap dancing...

It is now my goal in life to make a movie that contains everything on this list.

#5 is kinda scary and I'm trying to imagine what a creature like that would look like.

I want a Froosdle for my birthday! How hard are they to housebreak?

RealLiveMan: Welcome. Hurry back!

NoNameDufus: Ooooh, it's been a long time since I've seen those. I think he ended up killing the dragon, and the recipe might have been for gingerbread cookies. And there was a green chick somewhere. No, wait... that might have been Star Trek.

Grace: Now I'll have that song in my head for the next 45 minutes!

Subby: Viruses are getting more and more talented these days. One of these days we'll see a petri dish in the Louvre.

Gwen: I can rent my house out for a reasonable hourly rate. Well, semi-reasonable.

Mik: Just be sure and get out of the way when it leaps at you!

Marilyn: If it's as big as a moose, the housebreaking might be a bit of a challenge. If it's as small as a frog, you could just use one of those aquarium things filled with plants and flies and a little pond off to the side.

I guess supervillians don't eat lunch at McDonald's because they're always super-rich and eat at super-fancy restaurants such as The Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Which raises a question: If you became a supervillian, would you still eat at McDonald's, or only at middle-of-the-road chain restaurants that offer you all-you-can-eat breadsticks and cheesey dinner rolls? I think I'd probably still eat at Mickey D's once in while because I really like their fries. But otherwise, I'd go to Carl's Jr. for my burgers because their burgers are charbroiled and taste better. You should try the portobello mushroom burger with Swiss cheese-like food product. It's very tasty. I mean, try it only if you're not too busy trying to take over Gotham and all.

MikeWJ: I guess I could always send one of my evil henchmen to the drive-up window... And if they put onions on my cheeseburger, I can set my monsters loose on them.
I hate onions.
As far as being seen in public, I think Olive Garden and Red Lobster will do. Maybe if I appear menacing enough, they'll give me a few extra breadsticks and cheesy rolls. Those things are awesome.

Well, Captain Kirk did show mercy to a Gorn--an extra in a lizard suit--but that was on a TV show, so I guess I haven't seen that either.

Janna said...

Kathcom: I miss all those TOS episodes! It would be cool to have a box set of them on DVD. :)

kathcom said...

We have all three seasons but haven't watched them all yet. You can watch them cleaned up and with better effects or watch them as originally recorded. I normally hate when an original gets messed with (a la the CGI added to Star Wars) but this is way cool. Maybe rent them if you don't want to spend the money up front--see if you like them.

Janna said...

Kathcom: Good idea! :) I'll put it on my wish list.
