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!

...but couldn't the space be saved for something a lil more meaningful?
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...

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
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.
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.
