Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

I think you can tell a lot about a person, by looking at the back of their head.....

For example......

I only need to see one eye to determine the merit of a man.

I'm not that skilled. I have to see the rest of their face, and talk to them.

Your post made me laugh out loud, because it's so out of character for you.

You don't do pretentious very well.

First, you must not have read my post in Clint Eastwood's voice.

Second, how should Ian respond to your request? Stop breathing?

I've heard your voice. You're right. It sounds very much like Eastwood's voice... when he was 7 years old. It's almost a perfect match.

HAHA! I've got you now. IF I were indicating having a voice similar to Eastwood's and knowing that you know what my voice sounds like, I wouldn't have referenced Eastwood in the first place. Put that in your pipe and smoke, Smarmatron.

Speaking of B Sci Fi movies:

This Island Earth (1955) - IMDb

(Look at that, everyone! There were jokes AND the thread is back on track. Pitch forks down.)

Let's face it, that's what he's really saying and wants. I have been practicing my wheezing for some time now and aim to bring the house down with my last gasps.

It's a good plan!

  How about "The Neanderthal Man" from 1953. That should resonate with you.

Not sure what your definition of "B Movie" is but here are some good ones:

Primer (2004)
Heavy Metal (1981)
Triangle (2009)
Timecrimes (2007)
Coherence (2013)
Attack the Block (2011)
Source Code (2011)
District 9 (2009)
Looper (2012)
Dredd (2012)
Godzilla (2014)
Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Paul (2011)
The Fifth Element (1997)

I can suggest more or elaborate

  Groan, you still on with this back thing?
  
  Even after the "Back to You" thread was deleted?
  
  Ok, here are some appropriate ones!
  
  The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)
  
  Alone in the Dark (2005 film)
  
  You know why his back is to us, here's why.....
  
  I know scary to think that he is moonlighting as a Female Chinese, music video dancer?
  
  Yes, Terra he does have a secret of dressing up in pink!
  
  Explains why, he didn't open his cobard in the video, and no doubt turned over all the star wars pictures, from the Strictly Ballroom, My Best Friends Weddings, and of course...Sleepless in Seattle!

One of my Sci-Fi favorites is a classic... not a "B Movie" in its day....

Forbidden Planet (1956)

Robby the Robot and Anne Francis were quite the combo!
