The pomade industry loves Jerry.

I'm lost. We are talking about Jimmy Neutron's robot dog, right?

Many Calamari were fried in that invasion…

Rollerball v. Thunderball:  Who Has The Best Balls

Out of Africa had an entertaining part?

The boob-finding gene is a great gift. Use it well.

Same here @avclub-97b2d5e5f92c333976018236d76658d9:disqus . I have cherished memories of going to see my first Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me - which is a classic. But Connery still beats the hell out of The fucking Saint, er, Roger Moore.

Oh, you mean the 1983 remake of Breathless with Richard Gere?

with hair on your palm…

…and sometimes you just gotta say "how come i've never seen a protitute as hot as Rebecca DeMornay?"

What about Valley Girl? Sure it gave the world Nicholas Cage, but don't hold that against a great movie.

That's funny @avclub-16db446cafb1ffb1466e71eaf97a4f49:disqus , the same thing happened to me. I was turning 18 (and thus would be registering for the new Selective Service) about two months after the invasion.

And I remember @Nudeviking:disqus thinking in fifth grade as we did the exercise, "how the fuck is this math book gonna protect my head from a nuclear shockwave??"

Thdifference between the 50s version and the 80s version @avclub-6b4a9e228208a5008088d8ad6e1b3dd7:disqus  was the stakes. In in the 50s we thought a nuclear war, while horrific, was survivable (see Alas, Babylon) and in the 80s we knew nuclear war meant the end of all life on Earth.

To add to what @avclub-16db446cafb1ffb1466e71eaf97a4f49:disqus  so eloquently stated, another difference between MAD and some terrorist with a dirty bomb was not the sense that the destruction of the Earth and all life on it was not just a possibility, but a probability. No one could see a way for either the US or the…
