John Spartan definitely, and I think Lenina Huxley deserves a nod. She may not be at the Demolition Man's level, but she was probably the best cop of her time.

The bikini

Antibiotics and vaccines. Nothing says life changing like millions of lives saved and far more disabilities prevented.

Didn't she call him "Calvin" in the past? I thought she pulled the name off his underwear. This confused me when I saw it, no one back then knew his name was Marty did they?

My entire problem with the climate change debate is as you said, data can be manipulated. There are large numbers of people looking to make major money in the backlash against the fossil fuel energy producers, which taints my view on the subject since I don't know if I trust what's published.

According to the article, the panels are not reacting to the actor, they're on industrial robot arms that are pre-synchronized in Maya. The actor is just acting like he's moving them around :)

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Quantum Computers.

"It's a miracle that Terry Gilliam's [insert title of any Terry Gilliam movie] even got made."

The king of rock, there is none higher.

Is it just me, or does it make sense to have someone with A VAGINA take a swing at this property...

Amen, I couldn't have said it better. My father was a Green Beret during the Cold War and we (my family) wouldn't see him for months on end. A true Superhero for sure. Didio is a moron.

Unfortunately, it (the Tobin tax mentioned in the article ) is being resisted by some very powerful people.
