I had heard about good ole moon walker Aldrin giving a sucker punch to that nut but I never thought I would ever hear it!

Neat!

For the uninitiated:

Just take if from ol’ Jack Burton on a dark and stormy night…

When some wild-eyed eight foot tall maniac grabs you by your neck and taps the back of your favorite head up against a bar room wall and looks you crooked in the eye and asks “Have you paid your dues?”

You just stare that big sucker back in the eye and do what olâ€™ Jack Burton does at a time like that… “Have you paid your dues Jack?” “Yes sir, the check is in the mail.”

I do miss those red boxing gloves you installed on Buzz.

OK, BA, I am officially jealous. Where I work, we have boring yearplanners and sometimes experiment plans on our office walls. I guess it’s tough to encapsulate the cool/fun aspects of biochemistry in a single image. OK, yeah, there’s the DNA structure, but I work with proteins not DNA.

BTiLC was not only an exceedingly fun movie, it opened the way into the mass market for a great many other kung-fu-style movies. Without BTiLC (and, of course, Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain), there would have been no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (inter alia).

I remember Space:1999 only vaguely. I can’t remember any details, but I do remember enjoying it immensely, and I remember being very jealous of a friend who had the die-cast Eagle toy. That must have been around 1980, I guess.
