Maybe. My memory is a bit different as stated above, but I could be wrong. On the other hand if it's not about sub-genres and all about influence, the Star Wars should've won the 1977 slot. Still, who cares in the end? Blade and Ronin are both great movies and still worth watching and if Tom wants to write about…

This better all lead to the return of the Monster Squad

Vin Diesel happily says yes.

I bet he's kicking himself for not just wearing Joker makeup. He would have avoided the charges with the sword altogether.

I'm just going to wash my hens of this whole topic.

"When I think about you all I see is boobs, butts and knees. Be my main squeeze." Honestly what woman wouldn't just melt into such charm?

It really deserved a giraffe at least.
