    Hmm, I think I'm with Brian on this one. Never heard of Men at Work covering "In the Navy." Was it some kind of live show bootleg or something?

    I could only make it through maybe 40-45 minutes of Black Samurai, which is saying something, b/c I've sat through some pretty bad flicks.

    Ok, I'm going to have to disagree with some of these:

    1. The Last Dragon- how anyone could not have enjoyed this movie is beyond me. Of course, I was 13 when it was released, which is probably the...

    No Mercy!

    Maybe I'm just being contary, but for my money, the Cobra-Kai dojo was the way to go. "Strike first, strike hard", along with "no mercy" makes for a decent self defense philosophy. In addition, let's...

    I don't really see any logical reason for preventing two consenting adults from marrying. *Shrug* I'm guessing it's a religious thing?

    Doh!
