Essentially Lars video was the archery-equivalent of those trick-shot basketball videos where you know that what was done required skill, luck, and several takes - if those basketball videos also had a voice-over explaining how hundreds of years ago legendary b-ballers mastered the skill of blindfolded trick shots over buildings while skateboarding downhill... but sadly their secret technique was lost to history.

Notice the engine on the turntable has the name "Montreal?" These are engines in Sri Lanka given by Canada in the 50's as part of the Colombo plan exchanges. They've kept them going strong for quite a while! The one named after my home province was involved in the boxing day tsunami.


They got that one running again.

How much can this be repeated? The saber fights in the OT were FAR more realistic. The new ones they are barely paying attention, flipping and twisting and spinning and twirling their weapons around in a flashy, showy obviously choreographed dance.In the OT they fought much more slowly but with precision, focus and skill. Each blow had purpose beyond pretty colors flashing on screen. Nobody EVER turned their back on their opponent or (for fuck sake) leaped over them. It helps that the sabre fighting was choreographed by the legendary Bob Anderson who coached Errol Flynn and played Vader in the sabre fights himself.

I know, in this day in age everything in the movies has to be fast, showy and mesmerizing but those original Star Wars sabre duels are so memorable because they were raw and realistic. You think when life or death hangs in the balance you ever actually turn your back to your opponent? Or swirl your weapon flashily? No you make every strike, country, parry and guard a deliberate action. It's about outmaneuvering and out thinking your opponent, not how many blows you get in per second.

"From the moronic mind of BATFAN comes the motion picture event of the afternoon: IRON CAN, the incredible true story of the founding member of the legendary Appliance Alliance™.

Ultra Downy Jr. (now with floral scent!) stars as Tony Starch: Genius. Billionaire. Philanthropist. Can of fabric softener.

After being pressured into revealing his secret identity, Starch attracts the attention of the nefarious Fabrice Crimp, leader of a cult of creased cottons who believes that since the world isn’t flat, nothing should be.

Only Iron Can has the power-setting to flatten Fabrice and put an end to his ruffled reign of terror.

No one straight is safe. Everyone bent is probably ok for a change. The fate of looking presentable in a button-up rests on the nozzle of one can.

But even the greatest of heroes eventually run out of steam..."

Oh thank you!
Yes, watched all those specials as a kid...
..."legendary explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau"--"Yes, the dolpheeennnn....zee jester of the deep..."

Please start selling multi-tracks of legendary rock albums!

No training required. Beagles are very smart, and when food is involved, their persistence is legendary. We had a beagle who dragged his sleeping pillow into the kitchen, went from it to the top of the trash can and then onto the counter top, opened a cupboard door and ate an entire pound of butter out of the butter dish. And then proceeded to vomit little pools of bile and melted butter all over the kitchen and dining room floor.

Thanks That's really quick, the lap was supposed to be within 30s of the all time record set by a fire-breathing ground effect car, the legendary Porsche 956... interestingly they both have a link to the Can-Am series.

Fixed... for now... WB seems to be taking them down pretty quick, I don't know why they don't just release the trailer on their channel or Legendary's channel... Is there some big WB movie coming out soon they are waiting to attach it to? I don't know...

Superbe.
Les Gobelins is a legendary French design and animation school in Paris.

Dragons WERE real. We don't have fossil evidence because dragon bone was a precious resource used to make legendary weapons and armor.

Your video, This is how you properly feed a legendary striker, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

what a profoundly sad thread this has become.

i am not referring to the most excellent posts by @Chairman_woo and his discourse with @shinyblurry.

no.

it is the ignore function use i am talking about.
what an intellectually weak and vapid excuse to not engage with those who you may disagree with or (gasp) not actually like.

are your tender sensibilities so fragile as to not survive scrutiny of one who may disagree? or is it the manner in which they disagree?
is THAT the measure of how you judge anothers ideas?
words?
and you find this to be a valid reason?
this makes sense in your world?

well allow me to point out that without the dissenting voice challenging your preconceptions and only allowing those that parrot the same homogenized,pastuerized vanilla-same cloned vomit will only serve to create a stagnant pond of lifeless banality.

but as long as you are safe in your little bubble world in which you are always right and the circle-jerk perpetuates a lackluster and flaccid worldview.then thats ok right? as long as the echo chamber reflects how RIGHT you are.

@chingalera offends you?
good! because maybe you needed to be offended.

@VoodooV we have to apologize to @bareboards2 for derailing her thread?
no we fucking dont.
human discourse is by its very nature an ugly evolving creature.so get over yourself.love your commentary,hate your high horse..so get the fuck off it.

@bareboards2 is a very nice and sweet woman,and sometimes can be sensitive but she is a big girl and i dont think we will find her weeping in a dark,curtains drawn room.in fact i am willing to bet she loves the fact her video got such a great discussion going.so who are you to judge? or tell us what we should or should not do for that matter?

this brings me all back to my main point.
the sift used to have a vibrant community that discussed,argued and debated.the arguments were legendary and we still see old skool sifters refer to these people with fondness,even if they disagreed with them vehemently.
they were passionate and had something to say.
the list reads like a funeral march to those great voices who have passed and no longer engage in the sift:@MINK,@rougy,@choggie,@thinker247,@joedirt

what do we have now?
bunch of panty waist pussies who will only jump on the band wagon because other people join in the carnage.jumping on @BoBknight,@shinyblurry,@Lantern.
its like a bully convention with free crystal meth.
these folks might as well be black living in mississippi in the 1800's.
look! a chrsitan fundamentalist!
a conservative right winger!
lets lynch em......

and those tired pussies dont even have the courage to choke on their own hypocrisy.
wont even acknowledge that those in the minority have some serious balls to post comments on a secular left site.
this hasnt become a self-masturbatory thread.
its one big circle jerk.

so to those old skool peeps that i know still lurk here on the sift.
please come back.
for the love of god come back.
because these pussies are to busy sucking each others dicks.

im going to get some fresh air because you fuckers have sucked all the vibrance out of the air and left it stale with your own hubris.

and for the love of christ.get the fuck over yourself.

because when you are a legendary hollywood star, putting your name in the title of a tv show is prob a good marketing idea.

after that, it is still fictional comedy that i would imagine draws from the real life experiences of a person with parkinsons.
