GUNS! STABBINGS! EXPLOSIONS! NIC CAGE!
Recently, a large chunk of Cosmodrome staffers and friends (all dudes) got together to watch 9 hours of action movies in a row.  We're going to say it was done for science (it wasn't.), that we learned more about society (no.), learned the value of a human life (no.), and, just maybe, a little about ourselves (no.).
We felt it necessary to pass on our knowledge, which we present below.
[note: each kill was tallied with a magic marker on my shirt]
