"I can't believe they advertised that movie as a cerebral, understated action-adventure, when it was clearly a mind-bending, quirky drama."

Kid to mom: 'Tell me again about the time you helped fortress a city, subdue hostile fire and got home and baked us all raspberry strudels.'

"Can't we have 'PRESS BUTTON' to shut up the commentator's gobbledegook."

"In a world where superheroes were real, there'd be an awful lot of collateral damage to buildings and infrastructure." "Insurance-Adjuster-Man would probably clear six figures by breakfast." "'Heroes' aren't in it for the money." "Of course they are. Take Lex Luthor, for instance..."
