"I recognize that most film's that are true to the Christian faith are considered terrible, BUT when I have to choose between quality and pandering . . . we'll I'm gonna go with whatever doesn't challenge my beliefs or make me think too hard."

[SPOILERS!]

The destruction of the Defiant kind of blew my mind when I saw it (granted I was just a teen) but growing up with Star Trek, this was the kind of thing I hadn't seen before without a reset button at the end of the episode . . .

NOT AVAILABLE ON THE USS SAO PAULO

Because it doesn't fit within their pretend narrative?

Or: "All those fancy scientists on their luxury yachts are laughing at us and our fake fear"

By women being inherently evil? That's what the movie thinks.

John Barry - John Dunbar Theme
Natasha Richardson - Cabaret
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five
Patti Lupone and Bob Gunton - I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You.
The National - Slipped

Or as awkward as her cameo in "Star Trek: Nemesis" . . . seriously why is she almost flirting with Picard at the end?

Writers? Never heard of 'em or it . . . Is it a gay thing?

Lucite… hardening… must… end life… in classic Lorne Greene pose… from… Battlestar… Galactica… Best… death… ever!

That Ford quote . . . just brilliant. What a fantastic man.

This may be a bit off topic but I can't hear or see Les Moonves' name without imagining a homeless man shouting "GIMME YOUR FINGERNAILS".

Whenever someone tells me Wayne was always terrible, generally all I need to do (if I can't get them to watch all of "The Quiet Man" or "Red River" or "Rio Bravo") is show them that scene in the blizzard from "The Searchers". That usually convinces them of my point.

"Yes, this was a response to "High Noon" as Wayne and Hawks hated the idea they saw in that, of the townspeople refusing to help their local sheriff and built this off that."

Brian De Palma's "Blow Out" is a good companion film to this one . . . and not just because they are both focus on political malfeasance of some kind, but they are both thrillers about "process" so to speak. The "how?" is seemingly more important than the "why?" and its interesting to see a movie where the characters…

That AND how Reagan is now the best thing that ever happened for some reason.

I've always said that Alan J. Pakula's direction is some the best in film history . . . as great as William Goldman's screenplay is, the film had the potential to be a snooze fest and the fact that its utterly engrossing is a real testament to Pakula's talents.

Following the successful uncovering of the Watergate scandal, mainstream investigative reporting declares "good job guys" and takes the next 100 years off.

Bleh.
