“Apparently, this film inspired a Scrabble scene in the second-ever episode of The Simpsons, according to Matt G. in the DVD commentary...”

“It's "Hotel 10 KM" I don't think there's anything written on the scrabble bits that the man disintegrates into, though. Would likely have been rather overboard, sure - but that's what High Quality is for - DNA coding in videos. <_<”

“why call them votes...put in an option to 'not like'? I think there's nothing to fear--great films--but a bit Facebookish to not allow a down-thumb.”
