Leeloo with clothes and a cellphone? That seems like a different Fifth Element than the one I saw.

No cell phone ... Multi-Pass, as in "Leeloo Dallas Multi-Pass."

Thanks for the screencap. Watching it again sounds like a good idea, but Tucker makes me cringe.

Chihkan gud! Hehehe... chikaan mmmmmm.

I say it every time I bake something chicken.

Also, I sing the "Spatula City" song from UHF whenever I dig through the spatula drawer.

And I still have a Hamburger Helper ditty in my head whenever I go down that aisle... "Aye aye aye-aye-aye I have four New Mexican Flavors"

My brain really likes sound bites

When you use a strong cleaning fluid to clean your kitchen you may want to crack a window. The music in your head may go away.

Something else that's funny:

Since actor Leonard Nimoy’s death on Friday, Feb. 27th, 2015, $5.00 bills in Canada have turned up “Spocked” after there was a campaign to do this was launched. According to the Toronto Sun, the Bank of Canada executives have urged Star Trek fans to stop defacing currency in tribute to Nimoy who played the Star Trek character, Spock. Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier is on the $5.00 bill.

Large numbers of the notes in circulation now show Laurier with Spock’s pointy ears, trademark haircut and eyebrows, a Star Trek badge and the character’s mantra “live long and prosper.”

The Sun says Bank of Canada spokeswoman, Josianne Menard, has confirmed the stunt is not illegal, but she urges Spock fans to stop. She says in a statement, “It is not illegal to write or make other markings on bank notes… However, there are important reasons why it should not be done. Writing on a bank-note may interfere with the security features and reduces its lifespan. Markings on a note may also prevent it from being accepted in a transaction. Furthermore, the Bank of Canada feels that writing and markings on bank notes are inappropriate as they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride.”

"Good people never live long enough... and most of us are pretty good..."
- Sir Arthur Conan Duh

Spocking was common for long before Nimoy's death. But it has picked up the pace a bit since his passing.

I can't recall the ditty well enough, but my face always cracks whenever I heard ads for the Spatula City store - never conjured if it existed before or only after UHF.
One of my favorite films - best film Michael Richards or Fran Drescher ever did. Stanley Spudowski just kills me. Next closest film was Freaked.

"Spatula City - We sell spatula's- AND THAT'S ALL!!"

Always liked Weird Al. I have a few songs in my noggin that I'd love to see him do or produce...

A great actor.I always got the impression that he was a deep thinker and had time for everybody.

One of the things I read about Nimoy was that he felt he was "everybody's honorary grandfather," because he loved people, and I think that's especially telling of the kind of person he was. I think that deep affection for humanity has always come out, especially in his role as Spock, the observer and analyzer of humanity's adventures.

The world of science fiction fans lost one of our icons and heroes... but it feels like the world at large lost someone particularly good, kind, and loving. He will be missed.
