Not afraid to say it: Townshend >>>>Hendrix

Tonight at the community center, it's The Bobby Darin Cover Band Featuring Bobby Darin!

Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. Danny DeVito vs. Jason = License to print money.

Because writing a Friday the 13th script requires such intense research and production preparation has always been a benchmark of the series.

You can't really dust for baby powder.

Ah, the Neustroev pun. A daring maneuver.

This is why I needed a lawyer well versed in bird law to remove the "Birds Can Smack Window" clause before I bought my house.

Never take Jack Lord's name in vain

Agreed. You can see the beginnings of purposefully aiming at younglings in ROTJ what with the Ewoks and all but there's a difference between a movie for all ages and an intentional "kids film". That said, It's also fair to say that either films in general and kids films then were darker/more intense than today…

Wait, I know this one………because it's there!?

We must avoid a lady boner gap!

Tastes great!

It's a sci-fi hybrid………I KNOW SCI-FI HYBRIDS!

Well, as our author noted above, Neither Van Damme nor Seagal really made it to the A-list and none of their movies really influenced Hollywood or the action genre. One could argue that The Fugitive officially christened the new era of action movies to come.

For whatever it's worth, The Fugitive was most certainly considered an action movie in 1993. "Thriller" is one of two things 1) The tricky, subjective, little space between Action and Suspense that might encompass Die Hard but not any of the sequels. Why? Because all the action is contained in one claustrophobic…

I completely missed that Viggo Mortensen was nominated for Captain Fantastic. While I didn't like that movie much, it's a good comparison to Mosquito Coast. I think MC is the more audacious of the two and Ford's character far more compelling, (realistic too, I guess ?) they're both stories about people driven by…
