What ever happened to...

Broken necks? Man you used to see people get their necks snapped all the time in movies. I'm watching true lies, and I swear Arnold breaks about 300 necks in this movie. And you never see that anymore. There are alot of things you never see anymore in movies. These days it's just people getting shot, or ran over. Or eaten by a monster or something like that. It's just strange. And you never see people with laser guns either. What happened to those? I remember in the early and mid 90's we had all kinds of guys running around with prototype laser guns in movies. You never see that anymore. And jet packs. What happened there? These days it's all just retreading bullet time. What are those things that you loved about movies, but you have not seen in a really long time from Hollywood?

------------------
I figure that one day I'll either be famous, or in prison. But I guess if I'm going to prison, I should probably try to do something that would make me famous anyway.

Oh yeah, that's right. And Freddy vs Jason. It's always *shink* *looks around* *head falls off*

How stupid.

I'm not neccesarily saying that I wanna watch movies with people getting their necks snapped, I'm just commenting on how the movie industry goes through fads, and if they would keep up some of these nuances in deaths, people wouldn't be so bored all the time by seeing the same thing over and over and over.

Banks and banks of humming machinery! I've never seen so many knobs. We're going to have to do something, Charlie! Try pushing that button there. No? How about that one? No, not that one either. I know! I'll try pushing this one. Hold my hat will you? Good fellow.

Steven Segal movies are hilarious. I believe Mad TV got him just right.

There's this episode of this Showtime show Dead Like Me where a guy gets his neck broken in a revolving door.

You actually cringe when it happens.
