From an Academic Perspective, Who Are the Top Dogs?

The nerds from Real Genius, or the nerds from Revenge of the Nerds? Both seem to be pretty smart societal outcasts.

Symbolism in names

Probably this was obvious to most people immediately, but I've recently been thinking about the symbolism in characters' names: Mitch Taylor, as he helped "tailor" the 5 megawatt breakthrough and popcorn incident. Jerry Hathaway, he "hath a way" of being sinister. Kent = "Can't". Laslo = "Lays low" in the steam tunnels. Chris "Knight", pretty obvious. I'm curious what else I may be missing!

Mitch & Jordan's 'Interlude'.

Leaving aside the whole age thing, it occurs to one that their little tete-a-tete was almost certainly consummated without the benefit of contraceptives. Thus, there's a decent chance that they'd be in for quite the surprise a month or so later.

Now there's a sequel! LOL

Anyone else seen the new documentary on Amazon Prime about Val Kilmer? Thoughts?

It's almost not worth posting here since only an image from Real Genius made it in the documentary but RG is the main reason I've always been a big fan of his. He clearly shot a lot behind the scenes back then so I was a little disappointed to not see anything from RG but I'd still enjoyed the documentary.

Smoking poster?

On the door of Chris Knight's Room there is a poster on his door which I think reads no smoking on it. Can anybody tell me what this poster is or where I can see it?
