And you're post is only 2 days old. The only way I could ever get that many comments is if I libeled the Husker football team.

He takes the time-traveling shagmobile back to 1975 to hunt down Goldmember and meet up with Foxxy Cleopatra.<br /><br />I agree with you about Time Bandits, but I take Joel's side on the issue of Jean Claude Van Damme (which, by the way, is the second time in a week that Joel has referenced Van Damme in a blog comment).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454044084645548171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-47451342833548742512010-07-01T13:33:42.380-06:002010-07-01T13:33:42.380-06:00Timecop?

Not really meant as a comedy, but Van Damme's acting is always a joke.<br /><br />And while we are at it, does Groundhog day really count as time travel?
