SAM NEILL GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it? It's got to be big! No slipping something into someones drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast...
Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially
New shirt arrived.
Matt Damon playing a 14th century French knight that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mullet. Beard. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and cigarette smoke.
Matt Damon while playing Odysseus who also looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Long, skinny beard. Smells like horseshit, pine tar, and perhaps Mediterranean herbs.
Matt Damon playing a 19th century cowboy that looks like a third baseman for the Phillies. Mustache. Shaggy hair. Smells like horse shit, pine tar, and definitely chewing tobacco.
Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.
THE SLEEPING TIGER is very replacement level Brit noir. boxd.it/e4xBwn

A serious joy that’s consistent tonally throughout while showcasing three of the genre’s greatest talents at their height. Few martial arts movies can claim that.

Hoping to have business open by June. Most of the necessary parts are in place, and the ones that aren't are in process. Will be a long runway before I open a physical business, but I'll be targeting that for late 2027 or 2028.
Now that my web-dev is underway for my video store, I can go back to working on inventory.
Just bought a used 4k player and an all-region mod chip. Gotta see if I can dust off my college soldering skills.
For my money, this isn’t just the best movie Jackie Chan ever made, but the best Kung Fu movie ever made.
Probably the movie I’ve seen more than any other.
I should have taken a photo of mine, but I picked Road House.
Why even make a movie then???
BAD LUCK BANGING is a challenging film, but worth the work. boxd.it/e38tQP
My only regret is that I have bone-itis.
This Week’s Movies
Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn
The Sleeping Tiger
The Most Terrible Time in My Life
The Grapes of Death
Yeah I rented one of the discs. Good buy. Fun times.
Crime Hunter came with ZOOM GOES THE BULLET, which I really liked. boxd.it/e1hyFn
CRIME HUNTER is a rad little crime movie. boxd.it/e1hhiB
This card blows, but listening to @zanesimon.bsky.social and @kingtypo.bsky.social make fun of it makes life a little better.

The ultra-rich decided it was cheaper to buy Congress than support public goods because then they could also make Congress shoulder the blame for killing public goods. read the @raxkingisdead.bsky.social essay that scott is reacting to.
This is what happens after 30 if you don’t stretch.
Really is. Enjoyed it less than ever on this rewatch, but not because it looked anything less than stellar.
BLACKPOOL takes a lot of swings as a mini-series and mostly lands them. boxd.it/e0mtzZ
I do not.
You don’t have to like it to listen to us complain about it: themmadrawpodcast.substack.com/p/ufc-winnip...
Watching stuff like Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Rango, Wall•E, Edge of Tomorrow, Ex Machina, Interstellar. Not all perfect, but they just look fuckin great. We really hit a sweet spot and didn’t even know it.
Been going through a lot of 2010s sci fi lately. And that 2005-2015 point really feels like the CGI pinnacle where movies were using it not because it was cheaper but because it really let them go as big as possible.
You know how sometimes you make stuff and you know it's good, and sometimes you know it's just adequate, and sometimes you're just too far beyond caring that it's bad? Anyway Gilbert Burns and Mike Malott are main eventing a UFC and wait where are you going
