Yeah, that's what ruins it for me when it comes to a lot of historical documentaries.  I mean, all those hours of Ken Burns' The Civil War...for that ending?

:yeahright:

Good side won that one.

Watched Lake Placid because I was running out of movies I had seen for HDTGM and what a ridiculous movie. Tough to say which is worse though, this or Anaconda.

Poor grizzly bear.  :(. That scene was upsetting.

Anaconda was much worse, though.

Knowing the ending is what killed Valkyrie for me. They spend so much time building suspense and shit and you know all along that they are going to fail, so... who cares? And they never succeed in making me care enough about the characters to make up for that.

But it had Otto Remer.

Almost shitting in his pants [spoiler]when the Fuhrer is alive and requests if he can recognize his voice on the phone line[/spoiler]. This is such a good scene.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Welcome back to life, Dan Conner!

Though he met his maker in the 1997 series finale, John Goodman's character will be present when the show returns on ABC this season. Production is expected to begin in October for the show's mid-season berth.

Quote'Karate Kid' Sequel Series With Ralph Macchio, William Zabka Greenlit at YouTube Red

A sequel series to the classic film "The Karate Kid" is set to launch on YouTube Red.

Currently titled "Cobra Kai," the series would reunite original film stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. The 10-episode, half-hour series, coming to YouTube Red in 2018, picks up thirty years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. A down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (Zabka) seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso (Macchio), who has been struggling to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of his mentor, Mr. Miyagi.

I suppose rebooting Cobra Kai dojo is better than Sweep the Leg dojo...
