No point in linking to the scene even if it’s available. It only works in context. (And many people who saw the movie disagree it even works then.)

Oh, I’m definitely with you on Mike in the corner. Brrrrr.

  12. When I was 5 or 6, I saw an episode of The Outer Limits called “The Zanti Misfits.” It was about killer ants from outer space. It gave me nightmares as a kid. As an adult, I look at it, laugh hysterically, and wonder what the heck I was scared of!!!

P.S. The victim of the ant was young Bruce Dern

I pass

Oh, yeah, when I was a young kid nothing scared me more thanThe Outer Limits. That wonderful opening had me terrified before the show ever started, and I don’t think I made it through an entire episode. Now, yeah, it’s lame, but the opening is still great.
