I saw that in the theatre when it came out. Totally badass. If there is an actor who can carry a leading role more than Casper Van Dien I dare you to point him out. I would also like to submit Dracula 3000 and Shark Attack as proof.

This is of course does not include Richard Grieco in If Looks Could Kill. The Citizen Kane of my generation.

Well as a Heinlein fan I was bitterly disappointed -at first. Verhoven seemed to make a mockery of Heinleins points, positive and negative, of facism, espirit de corps, etc. And of course the entire premise of the humans and enemies fight was removed - no rocket suits, no Skinnies, all of that. It became hundreds of people shooting M16s carrying unlimited ammo.

As time went on I started to appreciate it for what it was - and as an effects geek, it has a place in my heart for probably being the last big effects movie to not use CGI. The ships were terrific pieces of art. Loved the ultra violence, the propaganda and the editing. Hated everything that skank Denise whateverhenamewas touched. She was gawdawful.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
