Movies you've recently watched

[Eddie Teach]

Heinlein's a hack. 

[The Brain]

I have heard that in the book Diz was a man. Is this true? 

[The Brain]

Matrix is on TV. Elrond is so proactive in that movie.

[Admiral Yi]

Margot at the Wedding.  Nicole Kidman goes to her fucked up sister's wedding and acts all fucked up.

Brain:  in the book, women are not in the infantry, although they are preferentially starship captains.

Gross.

I never got that.  Men are superior to women in all the ways that are useful in futuristic spaceflight.

Neil:  I thought there was some handwaving about women handling g-forces better?

There was.  But that didn't really make sense, given that the male MI troops would be facing high Gs on the reentry.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Its become more of a fantasy game by now.

"Summon lightning bolts"

HOrrible. HORRIBLE.  Freakin hell.  Must everything turn into a sick Pokemon parody? 

I choose you Cao Cao! ATOMIC MEGA FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!

Honouring H1N1 and my cold I'm currwntly watching The Stand after re-reading the book earlier this year to see how it holds up.

Though I still think the opening sequence with "Don't Fear the Reaper" is still the best thing about the show, a true moment of awesome.

Rereading?!?
I couldn't get through that crap one time, it starts fair enough, so far so Earth Abides. But it then goes very very silly.

[Josephus]

Saw Benjamin Buttons. I know, it's old; but I've been holding back because a friend told me it sucks.

She was sooooo wrong. Slow first half hour, but it picked up nicely.

[Josquius]

Harry Brown- Sort of a British Grain Torino. Only much grittier and with more action. Michael Cain gets pissed off when his best friend is killed by thugs and turns into the Punisher. Pretty darn good.

First part of Ken Burns' History of Baseball series.

Really interesting, though I'm not surprised that the original Baltimore Orioles were nasty bastards. Note to self to look up further: King Kelly, Joe McGraw.
