Duque de Bragança

Quote from: HVC on May 12, 2026, 10:21:42 AMThe first one was ok, as far as video game movies go. And definitely not the worst MK movie. Had some cool fight scenes. Sanada was in it too. Main character was out of place and an odd choice.

Damning with faint praise again, I see.  :P

It was intentional :D it wasn't going to win any awards, but there are far worse video game movies. It's a enjoyable way to waste a few hours :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Nope.

Looking at Wikipédia now, it says it was only on Super Écran, a cable channel.  We did no have cable until we became permanently settled here around 1986-1987 and there was an ice storm that destroyed our antenna.  Everyone in the area was in the same situation as us, and pretty much everyone got cable at the same time.  My aunt, my grandparents, some of my neighbours.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Thanks. If it was only shown on cable, whereas here it was on free-to-air terrestrial TV, it could not get the same influence or fame.
Re-runs were on cable but that was not until the mid' 90s over here.

Wuthering Heights. Clem Fandango marries Barbie, but it's complicated. Haven't read the book, but my guess is it doesn't have this much BDSM.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.
