Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
Want one of mine Viduus? I've got them right here. My Nano liaison (I think that was the term) handed me two last year with instructions on how not to loose them in November.

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
Random thought of the day:
Grandfather:
People have less respect for a man that can't be bothered to shave at least once a day.
Me:
Pampo, times have changed.
Grandfather:
No they haven't, just the kids have.
Why did I remember this today? No idea.
But it makes me smile.
(I think it had something to do with the talk about deceased elders, and happy thoughts...)

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
It's a good thought. (About the times not changing.)

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
I did? ;)
I wrote about Tony' Jaa's new one, The Protector.
I saw Jet Li's new movie, too (Fearless, I believe?). Can't say much good about it. I thought it was one of his weaker films. Fun-ish, but I didn't like the message, and, even though the character he played is historical, it was an inaccurate portrayal.

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
I don't believe they were trying to make it too accurate. Like wuxia films, they are balanced between myth and reality. Anyway, what was the message about in the movie?

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
Have you seen the movie yet? If you haven't, anything I say about it would certainly be a spoiler.
It was a good movie, though. Fun, reasonable plot/character/action balance, with some good fight sequences. I'd recommend it. :)

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
When it comes to martial-arts film, I am a confirmed "Bolo" man. Greatest martial-arts film ever made. The writer's or director's idea -- let's make a comedy. We'll make the main character really stupid and ox-like, and all the people he fights will be grotesques.
Thus, no-neck hero, midgets, giant women, amputees (I think -- I was...tired when I watched it. Yeah, tired.) All whaling the @#$% out of each other. For no reason, except just...because. Beats your artistic "Laughing Cow, Creaking Wagon" arthouse chopsocky to blithereens.
My god, does my brain hurt. I spent the whole day chasing kids and dogs, breaking up fights, picking up smashed plates (the dogs pull them off the counter when the kids leave food on them) and various other kinds of hell. Sandwiched in some work. Watched the first forty-five minutes of "Steamboy" with the little buggers before wheelbarrowing them off to bed. Now I is tired.
And tomorrow it starts again. Hooray for the Nuclear Family! Now if we could only find something to do with the radioactive leftovers...

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
Yeah. College. Right. I'm running away to sea long before I have to send the little buggers to college.
I've been gone the last 24 hours or so. Things have been tres hectic. Devon, poor darlin' girl, has strep throat. She's just started a round of antibiotics. I am up to my eyeballs in Shadowplay. Sherman had dental work. Connor has forgotten to bring home his homework three days running.
Life is a wee bit frazzled chez Beale/Williams.
Oh, joy. Even as I sit here typing, I hear the melodious sound of one of the cats vomiting behind a desk. Joy. Joy unrelenting.
Otherwise, I'm fine. Gotta go. Paper towels away!

At least you didn't just step in it in the dark not knowing it was there. My two never give me as much warning. They like to do it while I'm sleeping or at work. Then, when I return to the living, they stand proudly next to their gooey creations as if to be rewarded!

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog
Mine usually find some dark and unreachable corner to gak in, and it starts to putrefy over the days (occasionally weeks) it takes me to locate it and clean it up.
My cats are *nasty* little sh- er, buggers and I think they hate me.
