One of my favorite A-Team moments was when they team shoots down a helicopter, and the bad guy's henchmen stumble out of the wreckage as if they'd simply fallen off their bikes.

Genuinely apples and oranges.
Noel hits on something crucial here: Three's Company was basically a kids' show. Sure, adults watched it too, but they enjoyed its proudly immature sensibilities. Three's Company was basically what kids of the 70s and 80s imagined sex was like, the same way The A-Team was what we imagined being in the army was like.
He was a solid actor of a different time, when screen presence and oration were given more weight than something like method actors' ability to "disappear" into a character. The 60s were a tipping point for these contrasts, with people like Heston and Shatner on one side, and Brando and John Cassavetes on the other.…
It's a distinctly, aggressively modern sound for a character whose entire being is tied to an old-world, lost-in-time theme. She may as well pause before each fight to put on a pair of Ray Bans and say, "let's do this."
It's 12 seconds of sped-up dirge with a hint of metal that has nothing to do with the characters classical origins or the film's early-20th century settings. Naturally, fools are eating it up across the internet.
Agreed. Reviews of Batman/Superman after the initial test screenings were overwhelmingly good, then the second wave of critic/press screenings happened and its score plummeted.
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?
Mitchell!
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.
