Well, it seemed to go a ways.  How far is three days ride?

30 miles per day is an easily sustainable pace for a horse, so 90 miles.  There are endurance competitions where horses ride up to 100 miles in a day, but those aren't sustainable (and few riders would want to ride 12 hours a day either).

Charles XII averaged 100+ miles a day when he rode from Turkey to Stralsund in 1714.

He probably rode his horses to death.  Charles XII was a master of squandering his resources and destroying himself.

Did he have remonts?

Of course. He wasn't a cavalry army depending on one or a couple of horses per guy.

It could have been improved had Deadpool broke the Fourth Wall and told the audience about all the glaring plot holes and screw ups.

I don't think that would have helped. Ryan Reynolds was annoying.

Not something you'd stick as a regular person's regular "day's ride" then.

Not voluntarily, no.

watched the old B&W end of the world picture "Five". as you might suspect 5 survivors of nuclear (it seems) war band together after they miraculously survive. Only one woman though, and she's already preggers. really bleak picture for the early 50's. I haven't researched it, but I'm assuming the dark ending was cut heavily in it's release, or the movie shelved.

Like a really decent Twilight Zone episode. With requisite irony, cosmic jokes at the expense of human life.

7.345 megahertz of residual radiation that bad people, babies, and old people aren't immune to outta 10

Watched the Star Trek TOS episode "Balance of Terror". Haven't seen it since I was a little kid. Rocked my balls off.

That's the one with Mark Lenard as the Romulan captain, right?

Yep. But I still prefer The Enemy Below.

Saw X-Men 3. Not as bad as reported.

Fuck you, you Cyclops-hating faggot.  You're probably gay for Wolverine.

Crumb, the 1994 documentary on R. Crumb the cartoonist.  Him and his mentally ill brothers (and mother) are really some of the fascinating documentary material ever put to film.  Highly recommended.

Dial M for Murder
The Rules of the Game

Post-dinner, during four bottles of wine with agreeable US Navy female personnel.

Good weekend.

[Josquius]

I saw Run Lola Run.
It was pretty good.
I really should seek out more German films.

AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Trek is just on such a much smaller scale than Wars. No contest the other way.

So is Deadpool. 

I think an Imperial Class Star Destroyer could easily destroy a Constitution class Starship.  A Victory class might not get away as easily though, they were a lot smaller and could probably be blown up by the Enterprise.

Saw X-Men 3. Not as bad as reported.

I liked it too.

My favourite scene: Angel's coming out.

This is, of course, a ridiculous assertion.
