[Malthus]

loosely translated it means Lothario... or the acting of being one.  Used to describe the young anime haired young guys who hit on women at the train stations, trying to get them to come to whatever club, and spend money. 99% of women ignore them. But a few go and end up spending several hundred dollars (or as you see in this doc... much much more) on these guys, before realizing what they are doing.

How on earth does that work? It is simply hard to imagine enough people would go for that to make it a trend.

[Malthus]

Apollo 13 I thought to be pretty myeh but I'm definatly with the Private Ryan support. We need more war movies dammit.

I can't wait, it's gonna be fucking awesome!

Goddamit don't taint it you.

The Orphanage.  Spanish horror film from a couple of years back.  Very good, genuinely rather scary and it provoked a good degree of argument.

In Osaka there are literally dozens of these clubs. The main guy in the doc makes 50k a month (on the books) but what they don't talk about is these guys have a short shelf life. 28 is ancient in this work. They make money for a few years and go to school or starta busienss or something.

It's Japan. This is not strange to them at all.

What's interesting is the actual demographics of who their customers are.

Red motherfucking Dawn is on WGN.  Wolverines, baby.

Yeah I've heard of that.
I'm...Not too excited. The Pacific War is pretty dull...But nonetheless a less good BoB is better than no more BoB.

1941, Belushi, a zoot suit riot and Japs in the Pomona Alfalfa fields. Whats not to like?

MY GOD! WE'VE BEEN CUT OFF!

[Darth Wagtaros]

I love 1941.  Underrated movie if there ever was one.

[Syt]

Agree on 1941.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Watching Starship Troopers. What a pile of crap.  Not fit to throw up on 1941.
