Well, that too. But she's still a girl (last time I checked).

Oh, I understand. I watched a horrible one on Sci-Fi months ago just for AB. I have no recollection what it was about. Small beach town, big monster, I think.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
And what was the thing they did in Top Gun?
Do you mean the "hit the brakes and he'll fly right by" maneuver? It's called "fatal error." It was just as dumb and wrong in Top Gun as it was in Space Cowboys, but handwave it away and blame it on Hollywood.
A few years after Top Gun Victor Pugachev demonstrated an extreme version of the maneuver in an SU-27 at the Paris airshow. It made such an impression that it's usually called "Pugachev's Cobra," but now and then you'll see it referred to as "dynamic deceleration." It's a great airshow maneuver, but a bad way to manage energy and position in combat, and a bad way to modify a landing approach in a glider.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, you know, just in case one or two folks haven't seen it....
Yo.
(It is apparently now my duty to announce in each show thread that I'm the lone heathen that hasn't seen/heard the movie/musician being discussed.)

I remember flipping channels a few months back and stopping because I saw Adam Baldwin in a movie. I have no idea what the name of the movie was, all I know is he was apparently a goateed, pony-tailed doctor being forced by Chinese gangsters to work on a wounded comrade. As much as I may like the guy, I couldn't watch more than a handful of minutes before I had to change the channel.

Slap Shot II, Callum Keith Rennie. I've been scarred too badly to blindly follow actors anymore.

Dude, that would have been so much better. Now I feel all cheated.

It is a risky gambit, I admit. So far I've emerged unscathed. Apparently, I have a high tolerance for painful movies.

Nobody's ever going to top Ple's efforts in tracking down Alexis Denisof vehicles. There are some really really really bad movies in his filmography.
Well, maybe Matt. Matt's shown some real obsession dedication tracking down CK flix too.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
I ordered a copy of The Keyman ("released" in the US as Finding Redemption) starring Adam Baldwin from a Belgian website because that was the only place I could find a copy at the time. Does that count? :) The sad part is I can also name the two AB movies above - Gargantua and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't tracked down more of Alexis Denisof's work, since I like him more than AB. I do own Rip it Off, aka Behind the City Limits, though. I can sit through B movies (and below) with the best of them, I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having tracked down and watched most of Mark Dacascos's filmography, and with the rest on my Netflix queue, I know of this pain.
