The old IMAX flick "Search for the Great Sharks" featured
danger-attracting shark diver Rodney Fox. Sharks just couldn't seem to
kill him, but not for lack of trying. The way he wandered into danger,
panicking his coworkers, yet emerging to dive another day, always struck
me as kind of funny.

ASnd if we're talking mainstream Hollywood fare... the funniest inside
joke ever was in last year's remake of The Italian Job. Seth Green plays
a hacker who calls himself 'Napster'. He claims that he invented the
famous song swapping software, but fell asleep at his computer one night,
allowing his unscrupulous roommate to steal the idea from him (hence the
name). This event is shown in flashback, and includes a guest shot by the
real founder of Napster as himself. Now there's a geeky inside gag!

The answer is to... find the ones who are getting away with it, convict
them,
and send them up the river."
