    Episode 133.5 - Minisode 133.5

    I wouldn't want to fall out with anyone about it because you're all such special people. But I hated every interminable second of BvS

    Episode 133 - The Quest

    I would like to take this opportunity to promote the podcast of Kermode and Mayo's Film Show on BBC Radio. It's a straight film review show once a week - so it would be a bit of sync with US releases. But the presenters bounce off each other really well, and Mark Kermode is a very good reviewer (and delivers some awesome rants about films that he especially hates. Google Kermode Review Sex And The City 2).

    I absolutely hate Mulholland Falls. Not even Jennifer Connelly can save it from being a boring, boring film. If they were showing it on a plane I'd walk out.

    Brooklyn 99

    Hasn't been shown in the UK yet. In fact we've only just had the infamous "Geordie" episode on Castle

    Anyone else being a bit cautious reading this topic because they haven't watched Season 2 of Daredevil yet?

    He's got a nerve, after Bullseye, The Curse Of The Pink Panther and Boat Trip

    Episode 132 - Bloodsport: LIVE!

    It's in context though, the black fighters were portrayed as jungle men, with one of the guys taking monkey style to an insane level.

    That sounds right. There's a lot more links between English and Scandinavian languages than you'd think as well

    That's true, although Lars Ulrich is a bit weird. We have quite a few Danish people in the UK and they speak such good English that even if they come here as adults they're not only fluent, they pick up the regional accent where they live.

    British football players are extremely good at this. The velocity and distance they achieve, while quite disgusting, is very impressive.

    Sorry to change topic so quickly but I'm watching the TV show The Flash now - it's being broadcast here in the UK. So Barry Allen's girlfriend is moving from Central City to Midway City which is apparently ending the relationship because she's leaving town. As I understand it, in the DC Universe these two cities are about 300 miles apart. That's a fifteen minute jog for the Flash, how does that end the relationship? Idiots.

    By the way, does anyone else have trouble finding Blake Harris's articles on slashfilm sometimes? I'm using a smartphone not a computer if that makes a difference, but the latest oral history article on his slashfilm page is Teen Witch and I can't find Covenant or Bloodsport despite my best Google efforts

    Runaway Train has to be the best Cannon film of all time

    OK, I'm just going to post this and take the shit if it's already been discussed. The end caption talking about the "real" achievements of Frank Dux included his world record of 56 consecutive knockouts in one tournament. Now, if the format of kumite fighting was pure knockout - 8 fighters in the quarter final, 4 in the semi finals, 2 in the final - 56 knockouts would be unbelievable. 56 rounds of knockout if you add it up would require 72 million billion contestants, or 12 million times the population of the Earth. No one could be keeping the tournament a secret because the whole planet would be in the tournament: old people, world leaders, babies, everyone. And then millions of nearby star systems would have to send their entire populations to compete in the tournament, so Dux was fighting martial arts aliens. Which is a film I would watch. And of course there's Dux's claim that he was actually working for the CIA when he first competed in kumite, having fought in Vietnam. The CIA had sent him to infiltrate the criminal element in the tournament and he just happened to be the best fighter in the world. Match that to his date of birth and he was 19 years ago old, a decorated Vietnam veteran and a CIA operative, and the world champion of full contact martial arts. This guy is the biggest bullshitter of all time.

    Well over a year late but, I think Monty Python said it best with "Where's the foetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?"
