"Like the guy who made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs would do that. C'MON."

Hey, remember the actual NES Jaws game? That was a hoot, and taught me that catching sharks involves shooting cannonballs at them or something.

Kirk is best because what could be more badass than tooling around the galaxy in your starship, scoring with alien babes. And also occasionally talking computers to death.

There are probably some substantial differences between their pitches. Like, Simpsons-eye-smile-lines and musical numbers versus an orange man yelling at us.

Seconded on the favorite of all-time. I'm not ashamed to admit that one of the highlights of my life was being at the Simpsons live show at the Hollywood Bowl when they brought out Conan to sing the Monorail Song.

If we take the defining feature of an action flick to be violence, there's almost none in Top Gun,…

I recall reading someone saying that if Raiders straight-up ended at the end of the first scene (on the escape on the floatplane/he's afraid of snakes reveal), Indy would still have been one of the most iconic characters ever filmed. I can't really muster anything to dispute that.

I like how in that clip of the fight scene the "the silent ninja-compound enforcer" kinda makes noises like Cobra Commander.

Just a racist children's rhyme.
