Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

If we're starting "what is a Christmas movie" discourse early this year, I will tap the sign
*It’s cold outside
*Friends gather for a meal together
*Everyone is thinking about a very special little baby
*An important visitor comes in through the ventilation system

Alien is a Christmas movie

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

You've always been the caretaker. I should know. I've always been here, Charlie Brown.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.

all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.

time to die, Charlie Brown
