Whether you’re running from a masked madman wielding a kitchen knife or tearing your Buick down the streets of New York in hot pursuit of some drug-pushing scum peddlers, everyone knows that chasing is way more fun in the movies than it is in real life (primarily as the movies won’t slap you with a restraining order.) So in celebration of the age-old tradition of chasing somebody down an open highway or down a dark alley, here are the ten best movie chases according to us…
10. Terminator 2 (1991)
This must be the most successful marriage of science fiction and action of all time. They improved Arnie’s role from the virtually mute T-800 of the first film, and added Robert Patrick as the T-1000, arguably the most terrifying cop in cinema history. The scene early on, where the T-1000 tears after John Connor’s dirtbike the way only a homicidal cyborg can, makes audiences sit up and take notice. Motorbike and enormous semi truck soon compete in L.A. storm drains to decide the fate of the future.
In case you missed, it Sarah Silverman told her boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, last night that she was having the, uh, extracurriculars with a certain movie actor and Oscar-winning screenwriter. This is the best "SNL" sketch not to appear to "SNL" in a long time. (By the way, it takes a minute to get to the song; and moms, dads, mannies, and nannies, there's a lot of "effing.")
Lynne and Jamie Spears are in court today request the judge create a conservatorship which would allow Jamie and Lynne to be in control of Britney's medical care, according to TMZ:
The conservatorship would also allow them to control Britney's financial affairs. Both parents have made it clear: they believe Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib are squandering Brit's assets.
The main issue seems to be money which Sam Lutfi says Lynne is after and Lynne says Sam is after. However a family source provided People with some interesting info:
"As the money came in, the family began to fight more. If Britney was aggravated with Lynne, maybe Bryan would side with Britney because he was on the payroll." Now, "It doesn't seem like there's much of a payroll, I guess they might have to get jobs like the rest of us." Sources confirm Lynne's Kentwood mansion Serenity is still paid for by her eldest daughter.
Then again a source in the Federline camp paints an interesting picture of Sam that explains the rants Britney made about Lynne and her boyfriend:
The source also says Lutfi has been "telling Britney that Adnan [Ghalib] and her mother have been conspiring to do this so he looks like a savior. It's really sick and crazy."
On the other end of the spectrum, The Superficial Writer blames Mayor McCheese and his delicious Quarter Pounders. You want to know where Britney's money went, my friends. Look no further than the Golden Arches. I rest my case. Has anyone seen my gavel?
