Mrphy Mrrp Mrrph.
I hope the random UNCLE agent at the beginning turns up in fanfiction somewhere, because he's wonderful, and the dialogue (eee! semagic, damn its eyes, thinks that word is spelled "dialog." I feel unclean now.) they give him is worthy of Steed. "You may inform Mr. Waverly that I have just been beaten, robbed, and sung to by a very foul-smelling young man--"
And the bad guys are a lot of fun. Thrush can't give the Charlie Biggles character an exploding gold watch fast enough for me.
*g* ...and I just stumbled across the end of The Hulk on USA when I turned off the videotape. OMG, Ang Lee, you have so much to answer for.
I do enjoy Sam Elliott's razor-beveled moustache, though. (Semagic thinks that word is spelled "mustache." Semagic, you are as one dead to me!)
Okay, it's kind of horrible; random channel surfing just got me not one but two William Shatner appearances, and in one of them, he's dressed up at the Devil in a Fu Manchu moustache. (See, there's that word again.) Oh, look, Janet Leigh commenting in an Elizabeth Taylor fluff biography.... and Black and Decker makes a mechanical jar opener? We are indeed a decadent society, and the plague of locusts will be along any minute now.
(God is telling you to turn off the television, Bear.)
