Your Paper Comments: Soon to be a Major Motion Picture

A few weeks back, I was goofing around on Facebook.  In doing so, I linked to a YouTube clip of a movie that I'm sure most of us have seen. 

As I was reviewing that clip, I realized that this NSFW bit could serve me quite well when writing comments on student papers.  Like, I could just write that short question at the top of ever paper. (And if you happen to teach in a language other than English, you could do the same by simply substituting your language for the word "English.")

So, a game!  In the comments, link to other snippets of movie dialogue that could double as insightful commentary on student work.  The more biting, the better.
