Why does every kid in that era have a bowl cut?

But

Because it was cool at the time, and we were easily influenced kids.

I sported the John Connor Skater cut for most of the 80's and early 90's.

John Conner was cool as shit when I was that age.
And Terminator 2 is still the greatest action movie ever made.

Ohh...it's up there for good action films, but I don't know if I could consider it the best. Hardboiled is really incredible.

Planet Terror is really good too.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

I just wanted to say that I find it kind of ironic that this is like one of the most active threads on the entire site, a video game site.

Shit! Everyone stop talking about movies and having other interests! There are more movie posts than all the other game threads on the whole forum!

I've been on a Kurt Russell kick lately, so I watched Backdraft last night. It's okay, Billy Baldwin did a decent job and it was interesting to see Russell in a pretty damaged role. The fire scenes were well shot and are aesthetically pleasing. It's a little dated, with the 90s saxophone-driven romance music and such, but overall an enjoyable flick.
