    I've recently discovered a nest of Twilight fans at my workplace. All women, ranging in age from mid-20s to the 40s, and when I criticize the books or the films they practically start hissing and baring teeth a la Dracula's wives.

    One of my teener nieces has read the books, and I can only describe what's going on as a plague of mediocrity that is only growing.

    The 100 best Insults were good, but there could have been more Marx Brothers. Groucho was a master at the slashing cut, without a single off-color word.

    My favorite Python put-down, though, comes from The Secret Policeman's Other Ball, with some embellishment: "You flat-headed, cloth-eared, swivel-eyed, flatulent, bow-legged, knock-kneed, fornicating little git."

    I start that insult string at a whisper and end at a full-throated yell. Sort of like a chanted pagan curse.

    We must be tireless in our efforts to ridicule Shyamalan, for the man doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' Apparently, the word 'clue' slipped through the cracks as well.

    Weird question for you all... seeing the title "The Leopard" reminded me of a movie where the protagonist is beaten and left in the wilds to die (I think, it's been a while) and he ends up making friends with a female leopard which eventually turns into a sort of love story. Sound familiar to anyone? I thought it had Guy Pearce in it but I don't see anything in his imdb list that looks right. It's niggling my last brain cell, any help with this would be appreciated.
