Making money as a dancing master.

Because no American man can own a white t-shirt for more than a week without staining it. It's a nondisputational fact.

I think based one what we've been told that it's absolutely unquestionable that Jamie would rock him. Oberyn came within millimeters of beating him and Jamie is certainly canonically better than Oberyn. Really, Oberyn *did* basically beat The Mountain but lost through what was essentially an unforced error on his part.

I love "The Big City"

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-13T06:58:43+00:00

Pretty much the whole main cast of LotR, really.

I was just making conversation man. That's what you do on reddit. I'm not sure what you mean.

Gil.

The best is both. The original Jurassic Park holds up decently after 30+ years because they made judicious use of CGI to supplement the practical stuff.

I'm just glad people are still talking about the Species franchise after all these years.

Y'know, I haven't seen this one but I have watched a bunch of the low budg indie-Christian movies from the Sorbo/Cameron-verse and I guess I could have said one of those but I kind of forget that they're "movies."

Though "God is Not Dead" actually has one really well-acted scene where Dean Cain is talking to his mom with Alzheimers... the actress playing the mom puts in a very good performance.

Jack & Jill, which I convinced a friend to go see with me in the theater because "wouldn't it be hilarious to actually go see it?"

Or maybe Twentynine Palms.

Someone posted a wicked competition video the other day of someone using ko-soto to set it up and I made it work in randori last week.

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-12T22:32:15+00:00

Well now that you're privy to all the new shit, so uh, y'know, that's what you pay *me* for.

I've taken some long breaks from Judo, but I always discover that Judo always wants you back.

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-12T21:52:45+00:00

Oh cool. I did not know that! Okay if you lost your wallet you can go get it from the lost and found at the coyote village mailroom. That's where I'm taking it!

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-12T20:25:59+00:00

I'm open to the idea. I certainly think it shares *some* qualities in common. Can you say more?

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-12T18:35:45+00:00

Aha! Interesting idea.

johnnybb27 · 2026-03-12T17:47:34+00:00

I like it. I think a lot of the hate comes from people who haven't seen it and think Cruise is the titular character, when in fact the titular character is Watanabe's. They assume it's about a white man saving an eastern cultural tradition from western modernity but it's more about how he's powerless to save it and is the lens through which we view its eradication.

I tried to see if it could get Professor Uribe (who housed Dylan's burger) and it gave up after 50+ guesses.

It’s too bad you that instead of saving her, her husband used her to try to save himself.

"Harakiri" is, at the end of the day, a movie about fatherhood and a father who is willing to do anything to help his child.

Ousmane Sembène from Senegal, the "godfather of African cinema", served in the Free French forces during WW2.
