#1 "A homeowner shot and killed an intruder Thursday night when the man threatened him with a sword"

I love a happy ending.

#5 Unless the kid was on the fencing team, he picked the weapon that he was least qualified to weild to threaten the armed homeowner. Obviously the punk's meth connection, the local pawn shop and a high school vice principal have all lost a customer.

#6 "The best scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark."

Agreed, Eric.

I read that it happened by chance. They were going to do the usual swashbuckling fight scene, but everybody had dysentery and Harrison Ford was too sick to do it, hence our favorite (and smartest) scene.

#7 Second version of that story is that Harrison Ford, a party boy, was hung-over that morning when they were to film the scene.

But I've also read that the shooting was in the script, so maybe Spielberg wanted it the way it was.

Best scene of the movie. Now, who was the mod who put the pic in?
