I'm waiting for the Trey-us ex machina, where it is revealed that we've been puppets all along.
I went with my parents to see '2001: a Space Odyssey' shortly after it came out, so I must have been about 8. From their point of view, it was just another trip to the cinema, although the taxi driver said: "You're going to see what? Well, maybe you can explain it to me afterwards."
Which was unusual.
Afterwards, I remember asking "what just happened?", and the realization that my parents didn't have a clue, and didn't seem able to discuss it with me, is probably what pushed me towards reading science fiction, and learning about film-making, more than anything else.
Also, I got them to buy me the soundtrack album, and played it a lot. And, I painted a huge Pan-Am shuttle on my bedroom wall. Which was joined by an X-wing fighter several years later, around the same time I bought the soundtrack to 'Star Wars', funnily enough.
You guys are kraken me up.
Are we in the third act yet? I want to see Chekov's gun going off.
(Although, strictly speaking, shouldn't Chekov have a phaser?)
I haven't seen the first page yet. Is it really worth it, or can I just skip straight to the second and third pages? I hear it was just based on a forum about Disneyland rides, so how good can it be anyway?
Middle-aged leading men that all the women in the cast swoon over, sometimes after being forcefully kissed by the leading man in question (see any Bond movie with Roger Moore as an example).
Walter Brennan-type goofy geezers, especially in cartoon form (such as 'Old BOB' in 'The Black Hole').
Using 'bellowing into a large mobile phone' as shorthand for 'douchebag' when introducing a character.
Band-aided spectacles + pocket protector + nasal whine as standard dress code for 'geek'.
COM-PU-TER VOI-CES *chunka-chunka-chunka* like the one on the original 'Star Trek'.
Printers that sound like dot-matrix Epsons.
Printers are characters, right? At least, they're more interesting than progress bars.
