Re: What Have You Watched Recently?

 

The Warrior's Way (not so good)

Centurion (some good, mostly bad)

Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (quirky)

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (fun!)

In the Name of the King (arrrgghh...not so good)

In the Realms of the Unreal (creepy, but not in a good way)

Joe Kidd (Yes! Loved it!)

Duck, You Sucker (too long! Disturbingly misogynistic)

Young Guns. It was... interesting' date=' but not very historically accurate (beyond getting a number of names and places right.) I think, if done right, with that case, it could have been a lot better. One problem was a general lack of characterization and/or development.[/quote']

 

 

 

IIRC Doc was fairly well done... Been a long time.

Just watched last night's Colbert Report and his guest was a) one of the first female Navy Fighter Pilots, B) a professor at MIT dealing with flying robots and c) had a perfect pornstar name.

 

Missy Cummings.

 

 

Did you come up with "C)" or did he???

Watched Ip Man 2 with the boy. Best scene was when the policeman realized his underling had sold him down the river.

 

Masters Chang and Lee were pretty funny in the masters challenge.

 

The boy liked the scene at the end as this kid wants to learn martial arts. Master Ip asks why. He says he wants to learn martial arts so he can beat up people he doesn't like.

I rented Sucker Punch just to watch the fight scenes again, as the rest of the movie is blah. The stuff looked good, but there was no there there. I made extensive use of the scene selection menu and fast forward.

 

I was just watching the second season of Misfits online. I love how that show makes you cringe, spooks you out, and makes you laugh. It sometimes manages to do all of that in the same scene. There is one episode where they have a geniune creepy as hell super-villain who is as badass as Magneto in his own way, but has what should be the lamest power ever that should be played totally for laughs.

 

 

He is lactokinetic. That's right, he controls all milk and milk products. He uses this against people with deadly efficiency because he is a sociopath, but it's still funny.

I finally watched the whole series of Trigun. I seem to have missed something though. I could tell that the two boys were found as fetuses in some kind of artificial Womb, but Where was it? How were they found? WTF is this about them being PLANTS?

From what I can recall those aren't really fully answered, but here's my understanding as such:

 

The "Artificial Womb" is actually the power plant of the Colony Ship (which I had remembered as being "nuclear or equivalent", however if they're plants it must be "protoculture or equivalent"), & IIRC they weren't so much "found" in said power plant as "explosively ejected from" it.

 

 

Which may be wrong as it's been a number of years since I've watched it & you've now forced me to decide I need to rent & watch it again. Thank you :smoke:.

Knives and Vash were grown from some kind of plant in a colony ship. One of the crew hated them for not being human. Knives caused a castrophe with the ship to get even with that guy over the death of their adopted mother.

 

So the whole series is about Knives wanting to break Vash's more tolerant mindset.

no, Knives killed him before their adopted mother died, and it was knives who killed her. Who in their right mind would name a kid "Thousand Knives" (or was it "million knives")???
