I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this movie ... watched it last night. Not
only do I like the campy/corny style, but the characters are really
great. My favorite scene is when the DJ is trying to interview the
contest winner, and all he get from him is one word answers. Chris
Tucker is a hoot, and Bruce Willis ... he's always a safe bet. The diva
wasn't bad either ;-)

It's a fantastic movie. The number of subtle details is just amazing. The
fact that the protagonist never even meets the antagonist is highly amusing
as well. My favorite bit is the "pardon the garbage" comment in the
airport. And perhaps the cigarettes.

Yes. Definitely one of my favourite films of all time. :)

In the resort space ship, during the evacuation, they're both in the same
scene, but they don't actually meet. Very amusing, and obviously the
director understood what was going on in that aspect.

Fruit.
A cherry.
The score's excellent, too, by the always-atmospheric Eric Serra.

Now there's a film that doesn't take itself too seriously.
"No, wait, waZZZZZZZZZ"
Damn, I need a machine like that... :-P

let me guess: you heard scientists put recently two more elements to the
periodic table and remembered the 5th Element? :p

Ironically, the 5th element is Boron.

The 5th Element was anything but boring. More like Hotium. :p

No.
It's a bit like topology. A closed set is /not/ the opposite of an open
set. In fact, a single set can be both. Or neither.
Now figure out why inflammable means the exact same thing as flammable.

How can a set be open and closed at the same time?

How about habitable and inhabitable?

A person can be both "hot" AND "cool" at the very same time...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clopen_set
Basically, the definition of "open" is unrelated to the definition of
"closed". (An open set provides a way to distinguish between points. A
closed set contains all limit points. Clearly one concept is unrelated
to the other.)
Also: anything closely related to set theory tends to be incomprehensible.

Everybody worries about what disgruntled employees might do. Surely we
just need to make sure we gruntle them all?

The film is Private Benjamin. Featuring the ever-amusing Goldie Hawn.
