I'm still super annoyed by that. Re: Rumble in the Bronx, dude, how could I forget that kid playing the Game Gear without a cartridge inserted?! I’m still super annoyed by that.

Jesus, how can you not mention Rumble in the Bronx? And that was probably me you heard comparing Falling Down to a game (I have been doing it for years), I recommend it. Michael Douglas is awesome in it. “I also made a list, of movies where someone got beat up and smashed through an arcade machine.”

As I said in my review, I guess it's a bad movie by most standards, but not in the same way that other video game movies are. In fact, it's really something special. Regarding Falling Down, I've actually never seen it, despite everyone telling me I should because I apparently am just like the main character (which is sometimes NOT a good sign). But the primary reason why I've always been interested is because I also heard someone compare it to a video game. So perhaps an article on it later down the road might be appropriate... As for the idea of an article that?s all about video game sightings, I like it! But it would be quite a task to undertake? though at one point I also made a list, of movies where someone got beat up and smashed through an arcade machine. Robocop instantly comes to mind. I believe the game was Bad Dudes. Well I hope you and Wes enjoy it (after-all, since I recommend it so heavily, if you guys end up hating it, I?m gonna feel like I?ve wasted both you guy?s time).

That aside, please take no offense when I say I am not reading this column: Wes picked the movie up and I will be watching it soon. Also, about your column, I think it would be really awesome if you did something like compare Falling Down to a video game and how it is set up in the exact same formula. I have always felt this way (new area, new boss, new weapon that is bigger and better) and think that it would fit in well with your column if you have a down week. It may also be interesting to see one week about video game sightings in films. I put together a list of movies that had Neo Geo arcade cabinets and home systems in them... but I can only remember Titus with Anthony Hopkins. They have rows of Neo cabs playing Real Bout Fatal Fury (special? I don't know for sure, but it was RBFF something). Damnit, no reason to comment on GT HD in here, because apparently I already did.
