Best bit about The Thing is the scene where the computer beats him in chess and he destroys it in revenge.
He does the exact same thing in the end when he burns the compound. He'd rather break the whole game than lose

You could also look at it as him pouring alcohol into a victorious inhuman opponent, since he offers Childs a drink.

Allegedly, the movie also holds the distinction of being the first film ever to feature a fart gag. Now how's that for innovation!

Not sure about the film thing but fart jokes were indescribably popular well before this. In fact, Mel Brooks' character William J. Le Petomane is named after a famous French flatulist.

So two half-injured cops = one dead cop

I went into this movie expecting just another example of why I'm not a fan of most horror movies, but it proved me wrong and I laughed my way all the way through.

Arguably the best part of that scene is the ridiculous heroic music.

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't have the clip from Fight Club where he calls Edward Norton at the payphone and is loudly eating chips on the other end.

Not quite, his girlfriend shows him ultrasound pictures, to which he has a typical reaction. So he may have had trouble getting it up at first, but he must be okay now since he wasn't perplexed about how she got pregnant

It could just be a situation where it comes and goes. He could be successful sometimes and unable to perform at others, which might almost be more frustrating.

I only watched Misfits through series 3 and I think my life is all the better for it.

Shirley Holmes?

To contribute: I just watched 30 Rock all the way through again and noticed something that they slipped past the standards department. In the Season 2 episode "Ludachristmas", Liz's family comes to visit for Christmas. Her dad, Dick Lemon, remarks, "it wouldn't be a lemon party without old Dick!". You may remember lemonparty.org, which was famous for featuring some...well, old dick.

Yeah, later on when Tracy is directing a movie about Harriet Tubman, his star angrily declares that "Tubman" sounds too masculine and that she's changing the name to "Tubgirl".

The other interpretation is that the Predator comes to see Arnold as an equal, so simply gunning him down from the trees as if he is prey would be dishonorable. Instead he strips off his armor and weapons and gives Arnold a fair fight because they are both warriors. That doesn't really fit all that well with the Predator setting off the self-destruct though, you'd think he'd be accepting of being beaten by the better man.

It's just high-tech seppuku. Also it means that no Predator technology can fall into another species' hands.
