3. "You try any preversions, you're gonna have to deal with the Coca-Cola Company."
The whole damned movie's great, but I get my biggest belly laughs from that line.

This is one of my favorite movies.

8. This is the spelling police. "WHO'S" is the proper contraction of "who is", not "WHOSE".
"Whose" is about ownership -- as in, "Whose jacket is this?"

I know everyone hates people like me who freak out over misspelled words. But, dammit, if you are making an effort to communicate something, it seems to me that utilizing proper spelling and grammar to do so ought to be a consideration.

Yes, I am a tiresome pedant...

9. Perhaps "whose" is one of the characters and the OP'r was insisting it was everybodys favorite.
<<Judy Tenuta voice>>


IT COULD HAPPEN!

18. I guess I have to go with Major Kong as favorite character,


Though it's hard to pick. I can't really think of anyone who reminds me of Bush. Plenty that remind me of Cheney, Rummy, etc. Bush seems almost too banal to base a movie character on, or to create one who resembles him.
