"Chuck Norris is the fire in which we burn."
Some of my coworkers were discussing "Chuck Norris Facts" and how the Chuckster doesn't seem to get any older. The above was my spontaneous, and hopefully original, contribution. It also made me wonder exactly where that Star Trek: Generations quote came from. A guy named Schwartz, naturally.

Why Johnny Mnemonic is awesome
Johnny Mnemonic is awesome, and it goes far beyond Keanu Reeves's performance. The best parts, though, can go unnoticed for the first several viewings. That's why I'm here.
With about 15 minutes left in the movie, Takahashi holds a gun and a katana while confronting Johnny, who is unarmed. The two slowly circle around each other, except the space is rectangular and narrow, so they practically have to squeeze by each other to switch sides. Now that is good filmmaking.
