The OnTap guys are chatting about Greenpeace, nuclear energy, the works. Geraghty writes, in part:

“We can’t have nuclear energy, because Jane Fonda made a scary movie about it in the 1970s.”

Well, sort of. Again, to repeat the title…in fairness…it wasn’t just a movie that drove the panic. Most people don’t exactly remember what happened while that movie was at the box office. Rather pedestrian by itself when released on March 16, 1979 – the “message” (certainly the relatively far-fetched plot) of the China Syndrome got a whole heck of a lot of traction just 12 days later.

  • shot
  • stabbed
  • electrocuted
  • chemically interrogated
  • clubbed
  • beat up
  • had bones broken
  • addicted to heroin

And through all that, he’s been a rock. But threaten one of his wimmen….oh good grief.

Now that you’ve shown your complete moonbat, tinfoil hat, Thetan-believing-in, crazy side – I think you’ve just created the newest cult favorite South Park epsiode. Expect it to rise to the charts of Seedler and TorrentSpy.

Chuck Norris never killed anyone with a cell phone.

So 24 is back with a bang, or a series of bangs to be more precise.

Till Day 5. Remember What if Jack Bauer ran a Starbucks? Since Jack is incognito now, it’s even plausible. Maybe his going off at a delivery man is what gets him caught.

Ok. A downer of a movie if there ever was one – but worth watching nonetheless if only for Ben Kingsley and TerrorMom.

Gloating?

Maybe just a little.
