Eagle Eye: dumbshit pie (spoilers ahead) (Blog Entry by dag)

Sarzy says...

Well, I said one of the worst Bond films ever, not the worst.

My big problem with Casino Royale is that it feels like such a desperate attempt to contemporize Bond, but it loses what made him such a great character in the process. The new Bond just feels like a response to the success of Jason Bourne -- he's essentially James Bourne now. The Brosnan films were probably getting a bit too silly towards the end, but they took it way too far in the other direction. Even the action wasn't very good -- the parkour stuff has been done way better in other films, the fist fights seemed like they were trying way too hard to be gritty, and the big action scene at the end with the sinking building was just as over-the-top as anything in some of the more recent Bond films. And the villain was completely unmemorable -- I guess an interesting villain isn't gritty enough for "new Bond".

MAN Casino Royale makes me angry. Thanks for making me relive painful memories, jerk!

"Why Aikido Looks Fake" - Explanation of Ukemi (Falling)

None of us can prove that we know what will happen in a "real life event".

We cannot know, and will never know, because fights in a bar or things like this are not spontaneous therefore some one has an advantage right from the get go.

Learning to kill with strikes is easy, learning to break arms, is easy, learning to choke and break a neck is easy.

These techniques are easy, you study a martial art to learn something that is not easy.

I do not practice Ki or Chi, if an unwilling opponent appears I will just use the techniques to cause massive damage.

Sankyo, Shihonage, irimi nage(to break the neck), kubishime, yonkyo, and rokyo(Looks like an arm bar), kotegaeshi.

Do not think that in a real fight there is only one opponent, because there are always multiple opponents, they just haven't joined the fray.

We all like to use that real world saying... Know what happens to some one when they are on the ground, or grappling? They get stomped on, or stabbed by some one they didn't see because they were to busy with another opponent. Know what happens to some one who tries to use a chi ball, or a form? They get they're asses handed to them.

The best way to decimate an opponent? Look for the nearest weapon, take the time to look around you at your computer. See how many things are there that can be used as weapons.

To a master every thing and anything is a weapon. Remember when Jason Bourne used the rolled up paper, pen, and power cord as weapons?

There is a saying in the firearm defense world "A handgun is so you can fight your way to a long gun."
Fists are so you can fight your way to a weapon.

best fight in The Bourne Ultimatum - Bourne vs. Desh

budzos says...

Best part? How about the only good part. This movie was terrible. It's one of those movies everyone seems to think is great but I see it as pretty shitty and unwatchable.

I got extremely bored of watching Jason Bourne use his super powers to move undetected through public spaces while there are multiple intelligence agents scanning for him. This seemed to be the bulk of running time.

Bear Grylls's "Man vs. Wild" = Phony

pro says...

kingsblood - actually a lot of people argue that Grylls's show is really dangerous because people think they are learning valuable survival skills which is not the case. For example, in one show he drinks his own urine to avoid dehydration without distilling it. Plus 99% of what he does is probably unsafe for even experts like Grylls (e.g., climbing down a water fall, getting unnecessarily wet, etc).

There is an entire wiki dedicated to the discussion of why the show is fake and dangerous:
http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/bearwiki/Main_Page
Some pretty damning accusations on that site; ranging from evidence that Grylls spent the night at a hotel when he was supposedly roughing it out in the wild to an expose on how the encounter with a wild bear on the show was really just the producer in a bear suit.

Though I always felt the show was clearly "fake" in the purist sense. The show is really a Jason Bourne style fantasy set in exotic locations where we get to see Grylls perform some bad ass stunts (sometimes with the help of some unacknowledged aid). Its really quite entertaining.
