Watched Kingsman again :bowler:  Such an outrageously fun movie. I even like Jackson's lisp. 

THAT church scene.

The Warriors. Dumb, forgettable movie. If you've seen the taunt by Big Chin Sean Penn lookalike and the baseball/KISS crossover gang uniform, there's no need to see the rest.

The film's deranged larger-than-life depiction of 70s gang life is pretty damn fun, imho. It's my favorite Manhattan-set adaptation of a Greek classic.

Cyrus' speech at the beginning is also a highlight.

Which Greek classic do you mean?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I just realized that Temple of Doom is the only one out of all four where Indy actually accomplishes anything. :hmm:

Hey, just because the US government squanders it doesn't mean the recovery of the Ark is not an accomplishment.

And in Last Crusade, he reconciles with his dad.  :)

Shameful isn't it?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Next thing I'll tell you I've never read any of Cicero's works.
