Hooper. New generation of stuntment being pushed out by CGI, animitronics, and Tom Cruise doing his own stunts. No one gets hurt anymore, there are fewer jobs, less risk, less adrenaline. So…gotta go to Thailand and work on Tony Jaa movies!!

i'm always surprised that with the growth in Gamer culture/businss, it hasn't been remade, especially for the CoD/MoH games. The Army comes in and recruits the best "team" of online gamers - who don't actually know each other, except online - who then have to work together, train, etc.

That my briefcase?

exactly. his reflexive shot pattern (double tap to the chest, one to the head) is foiled by the train car doors - not anything Max does himself. If Vincent had taken a millisecond to choose a better shot, he'd probably have won.

if Para wanted to win the PR battle, they'd repurpose Neeson's "It doesn't matter…" speech from The Grey. "It doesn't matter if guns are prevalent and easily obtained! It doesn't matter if WalMart sells ammo! It doesn't matter if magazine capacity is restricted! All that matters is funding a mental health system,…

irony: stock photo used in article: features a Glock product.

Che's "what hurt the most joke" and the Dragon-musical sketch was eerily reminiscent of Norm MacDonald's heyday. "While you guys were singing, a Puerto Rican stabbed me in the head!" They should just pull the ripcord and give Che the spot by himself, and let him Norm the place up.

i knew he was either English or Irish, so split the difference…Welsh.

Holy balls that answer irked me. I mean, just don't guess! You don't have to guess! If she had said Schindler's List, it would have been more justifiable - those were the 2 big Oscar movies that year, they're both depressing as hell, and they both star middle-aged white dudes. Also, they're not re-run much.

i know Dylan Thomas didn't die young, but he got famous as a young poet, and wrote about death. He was the only guess i had, since i don't know Poets or Epitaphs. Knowing my shortcomings, i would definitely have bet $0 if i were Mehmet.

"Joey Jo-Jo!!"

Prediction: Mark Knopfler's "Boom Like That" - based on Kroc's autobiography & philosophy - will be featured on the soundtrack album, but not in the film.

i thought of TE Lawrence immediately, but only because of Lawrence of Arabia. I don't know how "famous" that motorcycle accident was, outside of the film (it's the opening scene, right?).

i figured it was either Banksy or Shepard Fairey (since SF's work was used for Obama's 2008 campaign). Banksy is usually not prone to giving quotes, yes? But yeah - he's the graffiti artist, so that was what i went with.

not to nitpick, but just an edit: 12 total slain, 2 were police. 11 more have been wounded, some very seriously.

Dutch Angles. Those "weird angles the camera is titled at" are called Dutch Angles.

on the other hand, i was APPALLED that "Abscond" was not acceptable in place of Abduct (altho i did guess Abduct). Perhaps Abscond does not include the act of "Taking" as well as escaping?

agree. it's a pretty narrow selection for what should be a sampling of one of the more diverse media around. Perhaps i shouldn't even click the link anymore, if i don't think Podmass can introduce me to new shows. I mean, i don't need to see NPR, Earwolf, or even Nerdist shows on here. Or should i be reading the…

I'm not demanding HDTGM be covered weekly - may point is none of these shows are varied enough to warrant weekly coverage in this limited column.

Well put. Also, I'm not demanding HDTGM be covered weekly - may point is none of these shows are varied enough to warrant weekly coverage in this limited column.
