The sense of almost boyish enthusiasm that comes over middle aged men when pursuing a hobby that requires expensive stuff and leaves non-hobbyists scratching their heads to figure out why it's so damned important. (Derived from Roy Campanella's observation about baseball: "You got to have a lot of little boy in you to play this game.")
When Jerry began talking about model railroading, it was easy to see the Campanella Effect in action.

1. A really gay and misguided Christian "family" movie review site which rates movies based on their appropriatness usinge thir godly bible-based rating system. Very xenophobic and hateful, rudely judging both films and their creators. They have also made up a new rating: R-13! And let's not forget their infamous "Offense to God" rating category, where anything in the films relating to other religions (or any fantasy or folklore elements) are judged as sinful and inapproriate.

Get the flux capacitor mug.Homepage of the "ChildCare Action Project," an endeavor by a fairly extreme Christian ministry to let parents determine just which movies God doesn't want their children to watch. Has hundreds of detailed movie reviews, noting everything that goes against the Bible, no matter how slight, so that you know every single reason why it's probably a bad idea to let a five-year old watch Jason X. Not all movies reviewed are scored; the reviewer sometimes is too offended to watch the whole movie in extreme cases like 8MM, Jackass: The Movie (A name he even refuses to spell out), The Birdcage, and Matilda.
