Greatest Beams In Movie History
_Laban_ writes "Vue Weekly has summarized the greatest beams in movie history. From the article: 'They slice us, they disintegrate us, they roast us alive, they level our greatest monuments and pinpoint our deepest fears.'"
Zzzzzzap!

They used a zapper because the laser didn't quite phase her??

Your right! By posting this story they now won't have space for the article on the **AA saying "Screw it you can have all the songs/movies you want for free!"

The most fearful one is the sunbeam. It makes people turn browner. It's why I hide in my mom's basement under the cool glow of flourescent tubes and LCD monitors all day long, to avoid the terrible sun beams...

Oh yeah, so the Mako Gun from Final Fantasy VII just didn't cut it? I'm insulted.
I kid you not. Flesh Gordon featured the sex ray from the planet Porno. I have to admit i saw that movie and, well, it sucks.

There is a scene early in the HHGTTG movie where Arthur Dent is enjoying a nice cup of tea; he leans back to contemplate the immenent destruction of his house and the camera tilts upwards to show a simply lovely faux-Elizabethen wooden beam on the ceiling. I'd say it was early B&Q, probably from their "homely cottage" period. Magnificent: ripe, woody and with that nice fake crackulature effect. Sadly this scene was cut from the theatrical release, but we can hope its restored in the DVD with full commentary from cast members and local archeologists.
Sailing over the event horizon
Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!
I have a theory about the Care Bear Beams: every time they used them, the Care Bears lost a little bit of intelligence, but it felt really good to use them.
At the start, they rerely used them. It was like the Care Bear Stare was some terrible weapon. As time progressed they used them more and more. So the first time they used them it was "We can't do that! Don't you know what it will do to us?" but the more they used them the less intelligent they got, but they enjoyed it. Now they are all locked in a room somewhere, drooling like idiots, using the stare every few seconds because it feels so good.

Cmdr. Zircon: "Shall I have Snotty beam you down?
President Skroob: "I don't know about that beaming stuff. Is it safe?"
Cmdr. Zircon: "Oh, yes. Snotty beamed me twice last night. It was wonderful."
President Skroob: "Alright, I'll take a shot at it. What the Hell, it works on Star Trek."
you do know what this means, don't you?
i have some friends that will be coming over to wish you a happy birthday soon.

Anyone that thinks that the [adjective] beam from [TV series] was superior clearly has [disgusting substance] for brains.
The [adjective] coolness of my choice is [superlative].
But I suppose the [adjective] beam from [book title] was really the winner. If they'd only made that into a [visual medium], it would *so* beat all the other choices.
Argue with that.
