#3 "That's no ordinary rabbit ... 'tis the most foul cruel and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide. It's a killer! It's got huge ... very sharp ... it can jump a...look at the bones!"

#6 Rabbits can be dangerous. Let's make peace with this rabbit.

#7 ...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

Arthur then holds up the Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch and cries out "ONE! TWO! FIVE!" Sir Galahad corrects him, shouting "Three, Sir!" Arthur then yells "THREE!" and hurls the grenade at the killer rabbit. The Grenade soars through the air, accompanied by a short bit of choral music, then bounces once and explodes. The killer rabbit presumably dies in the explosion, for the Knights subsequently enter the cave which it has been guarding.

#8 You know, Pitch Black deserved a better sequel than it got, even if they did have militant gnostics in it.

#9 yep...Chronicles had a bigger budget than it needed, and less storyline than it deserved

#10 by teh way - saw 3:10 To Yuma today. Excellent. I'll admit to liking Crowe and Bale a lot before it, but it ranks up with Unforgiven and Open Range as my favorite recent westerns. Both stars do great work....catch it on big screen if you can

#11 It's on my list after "Stardust." Damn travelling and luggage seminars keep getting in the way.

#12 Speaking of incredible movies, go out and get yourself a 1964 copy of Orson Welle's "The Trial". Based on the book by Franz Kafka, it is an agony of unspoken innuendoes, ambiguous assertions and equivocal pronunciations. One can only imagine how very similar communist kangaroo courts were to the film's legal system. The sets are incredibly surreal and the intentionally pointless plot is infuriating in how it purposefully torments any rational mind viewing it. Just yesterday I watched it for the first time and it is dumbfounding. Tony Perkins turns in an Oscar-worthy performance and this film should be mandatory viewing in all high school history classes.
