    I was going to say: “anything described as ‘heartwarming’”, but #3 makes me feel sort of queasy.

    Number 3 does have the yuck factor.

    I admit I cringed a few times during “Jackass” (but laughed my head off the rest of the time).

    Just don’t make me see K-9 with Jim Belushi

    One sitting of the Russian version of War and Peace covers a lifetime of epic film watching

    I thought Happy Hour covered #3.

    I don’t mind “Heartwarming”, but I don’t have much tolerance for “Inspirational.”

    If they made a mash-up of “101 Reservoir Dalmatians”, I’d be first in line…

    “…and you’re ‘Mr. Fuschia’ and you’re ‘Mr. Teal’ and you’re ‘Mr. Lime Green’ and you’re ‘Mr. Charcoal’…”

    “I thought that guy over there was ‘Mr. Charcoal’.”

    “No, he’s ‘Mr. Coal.’ That’s almost black, and you’re very dark gray. Now you’re ‘Mr. Crimson’ and you’re ‘Mr. Clover’…”

    ”Over and over…”

    No singing! You’re ‘Mr. Flesh’…”

    “I thought they renamed that ‘Peach’. I mean, just whose ‘flesh’ am I supposed to be?”

    “When I was a kid they called it ‘FLESH’, and that’s what I’m calling you! You’re ‘Mr. Eggshell’, and you’re ‘Mr. Mustard’…”

    ”Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, tryin’ to save paper…”

    “I SAID NO SINGING! And you’re ‘Mr. Canary’… Wow, how’s that for a coincidence?”

    “Back up a sec, Joe. Am I riding with ‘Mr. Navy Blue’ or ‘Mr. Midnight Blue’?”

    “Neither, dumbass! You’re with ‘Mr. Royal Blue’! So you’re ‘Mr. Tangerine’, and you’re ‘Mr. Cornflower’…”

    “Why do I have to be ‘Mr. Puce’? I don’t even know what puce looks like, and it sounds like ‘Mr. Puke’.”

    “You’re lucky, at least you’re a solid. I’m ‘Mr. Plaid’.”

    “Joe, do I have to partner with ‘Mr. Coral’? If I’m ‘Mr. Aubergine’, we’re going to clash.”

    “Quit yer bellyaching! Now where was I? Somebody get me a Land’s End catalog, I’m running out of code names! Ah, screw it. From now on, everybody’s just going to be “Mr. White-with-Black-Spots’…”

    “Thank God! I’m colorblind, but I really need this job…”

    Watching a movie in the theater is too loud. I have to wear ear plugs; therefore, I prefer movies at home.

    If any movie can make someone filmophobic, it’s “Alien”. When the credits began rolling I was thinking, “Is it really dead? Is this the end? Is this a trick?” I wasn’t relieved until the FBI warning came up. Then I had nightmares for three nights. (My synopsis: The story of a girl and her cat.)

    Ayn Rand would have LOVED “Alien”, but she probably would have agreed that getting the “specimen” back for the Company was worth the lives of any number of crewmen…
