In my gaming group we had a superhero (relatively speaking) based off Mystery Men.  There was the Unraveller who can unravel anything with his mind, the Swedish Iron Chef who did use knifes and lemon juice, the Sock who was a spirit of psychologist trapped in a sock puppet who possed anyone who puts him on, and my character the Charger who can absorb and redirect Alternate Electrical Current. 

 

It was a wierd campaign with foes like the Toast Riders, a motorcycle gang that used flaming bread porducts as weapons, and Ice Ice Babies who were high school cheerleaders that could telekinetically control ice cream.

:lol:

 

Ahem...

Hey, the main baddie in the campaign was Stevie Nicks who was using her music to suck the lifeforce from her fans to become a goddess. :lol:

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Off the top of my head, in no particular order :

 

- E.T.(because Jesus in an alien)

- LotR : The Fellowship of the Ring(saw it 15 times... in theaters)

- The Empire Strikes Back(first one not directed by GL and best SW movie)

- Raiders of the Lost Ark(Best. Intro sequence. EVAR!)

- American Beauty(I want to die with a smile on my face too)

- The Untouchables(a mafia movie that doesn't glorify the mafia...)

Can someone tell me what the appeal/mythos is about the Fight Club? I've watched that and I don't understand at all.

Personal preference and all that. It isn't the twist that makes it so appealing though, at least not as far as I'm concerned. I just find it a deceptively funny film, a real black comedy.

 

And it features a damn fine soundtrack by The Dust Brothers.

That probably has something to do with you being a female. It's not exactly a 'chick flick', you know. :wacko:[/political incorrectness]
