    Fast Times probably deserves my vote, but man I went through a phase where I loved the Police Academy flicks. Chalk one up to sentimental memories of junior high and joshing about the Blue Oyster Bar.

Granted that dome on top of the original design for the project soon to become Citi Field back in the late 1990s was awful, I really wonder why Citi Field lost its dome? Because: 1. Domes are more expensive to build, especially when you're trying to get public financing. 2. Ditto the expense of maintaining a movable roof. 3. Domes are unpopular with fans. 4. Most of the time games can be rescheduled. The odds of a fifth game of the World Series in a torrential downpour are slim enough for most teams that it would be hard to justify the dome on those grounds. 5. As you stated, the Citi Field dome was awful.

    Listening to the Phillies radio broadcast and hearing far more presidential election ads than I get in Mass.

    If the Phillies win tonight, Tug McGraw will be on the mound.

    The Philistines take a first-inning lead. 2-0 to William Penn's Boys.

    I think I want Phillies in 5 now just so the season will finally be over tonight.

    Welcome Piggie! You can hold the conch while you're here.

    When I went to Jets games as a kid I often sat in front of the scoreboard and could see those "88's" up close. I fascinated me that every other digit could fit in an "8".

    Romancing the Stone was funny & sexy. Rain Man was kind of mawkish and dull.

    I know a lot of people who love Fletch, but never saw the appeal myself. Splash! gets my vote.

    St. Elmo's Fire shouldn't even be seeded, especially with Strange Brew being snubbed.

    Tough choice, but the hawtness of Ione Skye may tip the scales.

    I've decided what collectible I really want, and it's not from Shea. When the train station is renamed Willets Point-Citifield next year the MTA is going to have to replace all the signs that say "Willets Point-Shea Stadium." I want one. Does anyone know if the MTA sells/auctions their surplus?

    The World Series, 1912: A crowd of people gather in the streets to watch the Red Sox and Giants game on an giant electronic scoreboard. The best part is that these pictures are not from Boston nor New York, but from Washington!

    I forever associate JoBeth with "The Day After".

    Footloose was lame and the soundtrack is a gathering of 80's music at it's worst. On the other hand: "Merry New Year!"

    Lea Thomson appears in her underwear in Howard the Duck but I would never vote for that movie.
  24. Willets Point
    Do the Mets really celebrate more after home runs, et al than other teams? I don't really see it myself.

    Poltergeist scared the shit out of me and caused me to run out of the theater. I was never able to watch Lethal Weapon all the way through.
