My parents bought a doorbell for the cat to use it that does the same thing. It's a box with a remote trigger for a doorbell inside. When you push down on the top of it, it pushed the button to set off the doorbell. On top of that was a small scoop to put food. You set it up high so that the cat has to put its front…

My aunt's cats would only drink from a running faucet. The kitchen and bathroom sinks had those lever faucets instead of the twisting kind. The cats not only figured out that they could push up against them to turn the water on when they were thirsty, but also which direction it needed to go to make sure they didn't…

(This is not a science-based theory in any way.)

It's real nice that you keep up with your cat's family like that.

The cat's just quietly planning to murder you and make it look like an accident.

That was actually a Three Amigos reference.

Steadicams had become more affordable by the 80's, so there was a lot more experimentation with them.

Many people forget the Weaponized Waterslide Race of the 1980's and how it brought the world to the brink of war.

The original script was set in late 1800's San Fran before being re-written for a modern setting.

It's just some internet hack stringing together era specific buzz words to justify a piece of shit article that he/she waited until right before the deadline to even begin writing.

Do you know what a 'plethora' is?

That chase scene in Tin Tin really does show how smart of a director Spielberg is. He took the time to understand what this new medium would allow him to do an took full advantage of it while still adhering to a basic film structure. It wasn't just a 'Hey! Look at this!' moment. It was still important to the movie.

It engages in those stereotypes to make fun of people's expectations from it. It's a Kung-Fu movie told from a white outsider's perspective. Jack Burton is the comedic sidekick while Wang Chi is the hero. We were all about Asian culture in the 80's from ninjas to those serpentine, feathered dragons. BTILC took our…

The real trouble was having to brave the Will Water Bug gauntlet before being allowed access to the Slip'n'Slide.

Ah… 80's movie physics where falling down the side of a mountain is fun as long as it's raining and a kid smacking you up side the head with a bola only knocks you out and doesn't crack your skull open.

Huh! I never bothered to fact check him on it. Imagine that. This whole time that guy's been pissed off at the wrong composer.

Death Wish actually goes back to '74. I'd have to say that 70's action movies weren't the same kind of macho as the big muscled actioners of the 80's, but we were well into the Hollywood machine churning them out as fast as they could make them. Arnold was practically making a film a year (there are a couple of years…

I know the guy who ran DC Comics' message boards. When AOL bought out Time Warner, they decided to make everything across the board driven by AOL software. When the switch happened, over half the regular posters left.

Has more authenticity than George Lucas's claim that the original Star Wars trilogy were Vietnam movies.
