I'll buy that for a dollar!

It's official: the Robocop Score for 24 Season 5 is now "three." Sharp-eyed viewers will have recognized Paul McCrane, famous for having his face melt off in Robocop, as the Guy With Neat Ear-Phone Who Is Really REALLY The Main Bad Guy For Sure This Time. He joins Vice President Leland Palmer and a partially-dehydrated Robocop himself to attain this new high score.

I haven't seen a 3 since Twin Peaks Season 2, which featured the ubiquitous Miguel Ferrer (in my favorite role, as a pointlessly rude FBI agent who gets results) and The Old Man as the ghost of Christmas past or something, plus the aforementioned Leland Palmer.

If 24 wants to take the trophy from Twin Peaks permanently, they should get the dad from That 70s Show on there. I don't know why he hasn't shown up yet in the series, actually. He's the scariest person on television!

On television?? Kurtwood Smith is the scariest man on earth. And has one of the most underrated movie lines, in the coke lab in the first Robocop: "I'll shove so much of this factory so far up your ass that you'll shit snow for a year."

Ya'll didn't buy his "I am now repentant for my angry and disciplenarian ways" crying scene in Dead Poets Society, I assume.

My favorite Clarence Boddicker lines:

"Can you fly, Bobby?" (throws Bobby out of car)

(during a drug deal everybody pulls out their weapons) "Guns guns guns!" (You have to hear the inflection for that one. I do a good impression.)

(aiming gun at non-robotic Peter Weller, but pretending to have computerized aiming) "Nehnehnehnehneh...nehnehnehnehnehneh...
nehnehnehnehnehnehneh!" (Blam)

No no no no.

NO.

"Bitches leave."

That's the best line. In all of cinema history. Or "cinnamistory."
