One of the greatest qoutes from the wisest mind of our generation. Other qoutes by him include "Who you calling Pinhead!" and "FINLAAAAAND!!!!". Genius.
Patrick- You may be an open book Spongebob, but I am a bit more complicated than that. The Inner Machinations of my mind are an enigma. (thought bubble appears showing the milk following down as the downfall of society, and how it screwed itself over by the fact that the milk fell by itself. The cloth resembles the high class of society, which carries the milk (society) and gets corrupted by the milk. The enigma is what caused the milk to fall in the first place? This some deep shit patrick)
Dates from ancient Greek times, where "deus ex machina" ("god from the machine") in a play referred to the act of lowering a god on stage using a cable device (therefore, a god from a machine) to decide in a dilemma and give fate a nudge, so to say.
These days, deus ex machina has the negative connotation of an utterly improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that drastically alters the situation, as if the "deus ex machina" came down to give fate that little push.
I liked the movie, but the ending was total crap...they could've come up with a better way to beat the villain than the deus ex machina ending of that guy miraculously coming back to life.
