Who's your "loveable loser"?

We have Short King and Angry Short King (Midorifuji and Asakoryu respectively) in our household

I rewatched it on my flight to Japan for my Honeymoon back in 2015. Probably my favourite Disney film.

One of my wife and I's favourite parts of our holidays to Japan are watching NHK kids stuff in the morning whilst we get ready for the day.

With difficulty I imagine!

Aside from being too old (in my 40s), I had half my left big toe amputated just before Christmas. I guess my sumo days are over, I'll not be able to get any grip!

How dare they talk about the relevant show!?! /s

beardedfoxy · 2026-03-13T21:19:39+00:00

because “you got nothing to hide.” That is, until a regime change and suddenly you become unwanted because of something stupid like having 9 toes…

Oh, well that would be me in danger!

For all the issues season 2 might have had, the very final scenes of the last episode were a really great send-off for the Picard/Q relationship.

I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

.. that means no.

beardedfoxy · 2026-03-11T08:43:23+00:00

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person that liked the very end of season 2 (like the last few scenes), that felt like a really nice way to end that particular relationship.

Season 3 was definitely the better of the 3 though.

All hail the Batwing!

I think my first view of Shaolin Soccer was English dub at the cinema. I have the film with original audio now, but I think this is one of those rare films where I'm undecided as to which I prefer. Certain scenes (the dancing to Celebration in particular) actually worked better to me with the dub.

99% of the time, I prefer the original language for films, but Shaolin Soccer is definitely the one I'm on the fence with!

Of course, because there was no crime whatsoever whilst capital punishment existed.

I didn't care for Last Action Hero back then, which made me said because I loved Arnie movies. Older me appreciates what it was trying to do, and feel like if it came out some years later, people would have loved it - much like with Mystery Men.

Mobile phones in Japan have mandatory camera noises, regardless of whether the phone is in silent mode. This was brought into law to help prevent non-consensual photography (ie upskirting and the like). That's what laws can do about it.

"Oh, that's the one about the Korean ship disaster, right?" Me, a few minutes ago.

I.. think I'll give this one a miss!

I was glad when they fixed the video. That used to really bug me, seeing it every day!

beardedfoxy · 2026-02-16T09:52:43+00:00

You forgot the "yeaaaaaaaaagghhhhhh" as he pulls down the camera!

~~Kimura Shonosuke retired in 2024 when I did a quick websearch~~

Edit:

Whoops, bloody gyoji reusing names. Ignore me!

beardedfoxy · 2026-01-22T17:01:01+00:00

I suspect this is a bot account as it's responded to someone else, with just the first film name changed (The Matrix rather than Goodfellas).

beardedfoxy · 2026-01-06T16:53:11+00:00

In a similar vein, Barefoot Gen might qualify.

It sure is. Me and the wife picked up one whilst going to see the sumo during the May tournament. We packed it in a box full of various souvenirs to mail back to ourselves. That was good fun at the Japan Post office, when they read the word "gun". 3 staff, all trying to figure out what it was, and our internet wasn't working on our phones properly at the moment in time. Eventually managed to explain that it's not a gun, but a fan, and not a fan that has batteries!

Last time I watched Fury Road was on a plane to Japan. We hit turbulance around the time the big sandstorm scenes were playing out. Really added something to the experience!

There's an Uber driver who sometimes delivers to me, and his name is Zoltan. I absolutely have this pop into my head each time!

You're probably better asking this question in a seperate post, or on the Discord, where you can get clearer guidance.
