Weekend Discussion Thread: Timing is Everything

Alert reader Ken writes in and says:

Sometimes it’s all in the timing. Example: In STARFIGHTERS when Bob Dornan is in the bar with his buddy acting all cool and calm after his flight he pauses and looks down at the same time that there is a missing frame in the film (because missing frames are a kind of ruling aesthetic in crappy movies like this), which elicits a resounding BELCH from one of our riffers. Sure, it’s a juvenile gag, but the timing is PERFECT; you would swear that that was what happened in the movie. :-)

So what are your favourite perfectly timed moments–those little (riff) moments when everything comes together?

What he said.

And keep those topic suggestions coming!

Bittersweet Hearts

Alert regular Goshzilla made this kewl graphic with all the “bittersweet hearts” used in the sketch on the show.

Of course, on Twitter there’s been #rejectedcandyhearts going on all week. I felt a little funny about contributing because Joel, who invented the concept, is now Twitter. But even he volunteered a few (which brings this back on topic), such as “I’m old,” “Low life” and “I’m awful.”

Bill Corbett offered: “Welcome To The Terrordome,” “Fellow Brony?” and “The Heart Wants What It Wants.”

Any phrases you’d like to see on a candy heart?
