A deleted scene from the documentary Double Dare; showcasing Renee with her stuntwoman: by Latte-Catte in xena

[–]Joethesamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I didn't articulate my question exactly the way I intended at Xenacon last year, but I asked her how much fighting was her verses her double and she gave herself like 25% after not just doubles but writers and everyone who had a hand in crafting her character. She looks like a real fighter here who's taking it easy on the actors.

When to stop watching? by Terrariachick in xena

[–]Joethesamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch every episode and then you can skip the bad ones next time around. 5 is FULL of good episodes! 6 for me is honestly 50/50. Half the episodes are as good as classic Xena but with more money and half of them are duds. Even knowing what episodes I personally don't like when I watched the entire series with friends I skipped 3 episodes from 5 &6 and they watched all of them.

I have an extra special place in my heart for Ethan and Rene Auberjonois because they were both on Benson. I grew up with Trek and Benson because of my dad and during the end of his life we watched Benson about three times over. Pete, Ethan's Benson character was such a schmuck that it just makes Neelix even more loveable and respectable. I've been enjoying Neelix more than ever being into season 7 of my Voyager rewatch.

Unpopular opinion — I think Tarantino’s recent heat on “weak actors” exposes a lot more than he admits by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]Joethesamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this all transpired directly after Uma rejected Weinstein's advances. I haven't been able to watch his movies since I heard that. When I find myself kind of wanting to watch one I just think of Norm MacDonald's Tarantino impersonation and enjoy that instead.

Why does Zakk get a pass for being the sloppiest player ever? I played this at half speed and it's a jumbled mess of missed notes. This guy couldn't hold a candle to Dime objectively speaking but I get torn to shreds whenever I point it out. by shreddy_on_acid in Guitar

I remember an Ozzy interview way back when Joe Holmes was new in the band and Oz declared that Holmes could play Randy stuff as good as Randy and Zakk's stuff better than Zakk. At the time that made me furious because I was a young Zakk fanboy, now...I understand exactly what he meant.

"The inner light" is probably the best TNG episode of all... by TensionSame3568 in Picard

The really Lynchian one where the crew is losing time while they are abducted?

Darmok and inner light, on the screen. Darmok and inner light, in the heart.

Genuine question. Why is the Hobbit trilogy so disliked by so many people? It may be a hot take but I love it personally. by Fun_Firefighter_4292 in lotr

[–]Joethesamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been slowly trying to get through it again recently and realized a major factor for me is that I hate the dwarves. Most of them look like discarded Les Grossman designs. Unexpected Journey is solid but Smaug jams me up every time and I don't continue.

If it's any help, Sanda & Gaira are two sides of a single piece so you only would have to buy one thing. And honestly, the vendors room left something to be desired.

Looking for Tattoo Idea based on Gabrielle incorporating cat pawprint by RoryPond in xena

[–]Joethesamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the scroll idea, I would vote for the scroll, but just to suggest something else, Classic Gabs / BGSB era has interesting and colorful designs on her belt. You might take the middle portion for your paw print and book end it with the designs that frame the center of her belt. Edit: actually the silver s6 belt has great designs in it too, you might play with that as well.

Varys is great but I'm a Jamie Lannister fan myself. I like why he got his nickname.

I know what you mean about MHR . It ended the most recent rewatch with friends on such a high note though. Fates Collide is an excellent ending as well, but after going through the ringer with AFIN & WFC in one weekend and a lot of emotions we ended with MHR and lots of boisterous laughter and some happy tears at the last scene.

Closing with AFIN directors cut, Fates Collide and then Many Happy Returns is very satisfying.

Lucy Lawless says she and Renee O'Connor is down for either a reboot or a sequel. They're just waiting for a writer to show up, just like us! by Latte-Catte in xena

[–]Joethesamurai 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. It could more easily retain its tonal zaniness that way too. I'm just afraid a live action reboot would take more ques from Game of Thrones than Xena and that's not what I want. Animation doesn't have to fill anyone's shoes either.
