I disagree* with Mr D'Angelo (in this column as well as his other writing) at least as often as not, but we share a passion for film and a desire to find movies and scenes that are not only enjoyable, but that carry messages about how and why we live our lives. This column, regardless of whether I agree with his…

Probably my second favorite, right after reggae medic guy.
I thought I was hot shit for getting the doofy looking helmet until I realized I could be shot in two placea (from multiple angles) while my friends could only be shot on their chest sensors.
I do not have a strong memory of Photon's gear, but it'd have to be pretty sweet to top the Lazer Tag sniper rifle I got for my birthday one year:

Laser tag is tons of fun at any age. When I was in high school, the nearby arcade had a big "Q-Zar" arena attached to it, complete with teams and brackets. Beats the shit out of March Madness.
Sir, there's not a damned thing wrong with loving The Golden Girls.
I'm told the original movie is very 70s in its style of profanity ("he lays me and then he busts me") and sex/violence. I keep meaning to watch it and see for myself, but what's the point?

NYC had a Korova Milk Bar, though it closed about a decade ago.
Her and Bowie doing "Under Pressure" was amazing. She's one of the few people who could match Mercury's mix of simultaneously huge range and passion, and her stage presence (wild makeup, swooping gestures highlighted by a metallic top and ultra-poofy skirt) was absolutely electric.
Speed clearly wins 1994 for its first two-thirds and for how influential it was to future movies. That said, Drunken Master II is not only Jackie Chan's masterpiece, it's one of the few Hong Kong flicks that can sit on the same shelf as Hard Boiled and not die of embarrassment.
True.
Does Gaiman tell the story of Skadi, who petitioned the gods for (among other things) a bellyful of laughter, and Loki obliged her by tying his nutsack to a goat?
Remember how much fun Chris Evans had in "Fantastic Four?" His Johnny Storm deserved way better than the rest of that garbage flick.
Sold!
In my social circle, the code word for "actress/actor gets naked in this movie" is "daring."
"What's her type?"
It's definitely better than the other examples I listed, but it never really grabbed me.
She is… she is really something. It's a good thing Green has loads of charisma and talent, because I really try to avoid pure objectification. But seriously… she's the reason the phrase "damn, girl" was invented.
