    Finally, it's douchebag vs. douchebag.

If that hasn't really been you, then great. I think it can be any of us. We get a more interesting and substantial turn out when we look deeper. How often do you hear variations this exchange in every-day life? "What do do you think of this song?" "Who's it by"?

    I told E.T. to watch out for that bogus crane technique.

    I have to admit the first time (and probably after, even though it was explained to me), I didn't understand what the brutish sensei was saying when he looked Johnny in the eyes and said "Sweep the leg." What I heard was "Sweet to lick." Now, that really made sense when you think his sensei is supposed to be examining Johnny's bloody nose. Saying "Sweet to lick" would really inspire the horror that Johnny's face flashes: "Are you saying what I think you're saying? You want to lick my bloody nose right here? Homoerotically? In front of all these people?" Because, in my confused mind, that was the subtext I was reading. It got even more awkward when the next two lines were: Sensei: You have a problem with that? Johnny: No, Sensei. I was feeling not a little uncomfortable about the type of movie Karate Kid was turning into.

    That's goofy. Among other things, when Stewart palled around with Reagan, Reagan was a Democrat. He was a roommate and a lifelong best friend to Henry Fonda, as lefthanded as they come. We all need to realize that hating the right sort of people is not advancing any noble cause.

    Come on, bm. We're voting for movies, not for president.

    Really? So you'd take, say, Dracula: Dead and Loving It over True Lies? Mr. Magoo over Total Recall?

    Two protagonists with their develompment somewhat derailed by being raised by an over-whelmed single mom. But the lack of supervision gives them time to get into the hijinks that drive the plot.

    The Rob Reiner/Rob Reiner smackdown is set up.

    I just mean emotionally. My vote is locked in. I thought the 'Shack needed defending.

    I voted Toots. But I could be persuaded to go back. There are some underappreciated nuances in Caddyshack. I should be peeved at the boy-them-working-class-Irish-sure-overbreed opening, but I'm not.

    Playing Molly's mom was Mary Stuart Masterson's real mom. I'm just saying. I don't know why. It's a matter of record that Paul Dooley is one of the best dads on film ever.

    Well, the story behind it is that Harry had a fever and was tired of fighting and he asked Spielberg if he could just shoot the guy. I think the consequences go beyond the scene.

    I'm going with Bill Murray in a strong supporting role.

    I'm going Indy, but it's close. And I'm'a tell you. The big flaw of this film is the big laugh one gets when he blows away the scimitar guy. God help you if you think about why you laughed. That shot changes everything about his character and our attitudes about ourselves. He's no longer a brave guy in deep trying rescue his girl and save a precious relic from the exploitation of madmen --- even though he doesn't believe in it's power. He's an American jerk. (OE: Did I say this the previous round?)
  16. Edgy MD
    Yeah, I met him too. He was pretty nuts. Said the picture was completely inaccurate, except for the romance part --- an old coot having a pretty good time telling people about being the Real Crash DavisTM
  17. Edgy MD
    Well, he's a Met fan, and that was shot in the eighties. He should have some idea.

    WarGames bested my choice last round, but I vote for it now. Along with Romancing the Stone, it is one of two films in the running that commisioned a title song that I think didn't make it into the final cut of the movie. Romancing at least worked eight instrumental bars into it.

    I mis-voted Terminator when I wanted BR.
  20. Edgy MD
    My misvote is swinging this contest so far.

Well, you notice years later on reflection and repeat viewing, but, at the time, folks was swept away in a brand new terribly creative way.

    Melissa Mathison showing screenplay economy Stallone can only dream of. Come. Stay. Ahh... Ouch. Ouch. I'll be... right here. Bye.
  23. Edgy MD
    Um, agreed.
  24. Edgy MD
    Agreed.

    It's Elisabeth Shue vs. Elizabeth Daily in Fman's pants.
