Hara kiri can't be far behind.

Nice video but it really needs to be re-edited and slowed down, with dissolves between the pictures. It came across more like a speed-reading test rather than a powerful presentation of some very emotional scenes.

But kudos for not seeing the word "iconic" to describe the pictures. That word came out of nowhere this past year and now I can't read a news story without something being referred to as "iconic", whether it's Trayvon Martin's hoodie, McDonald's golden arches or the President's left butt cheek.

When an actress who played one of Scarlett O'Hara's younger sisters died recently, the news story referred to her "iconic" role as the younger sister. Iconic? I don't think she had more than 3 lines in the whole freaking movie. It's just one of those irritating words that the media grabs ahold of one day and then journalistic hacks use it to death, along with quintessential, crooner, diva, etc. etc.

But I digress. Thanks for posting this.

I'm probably confused about the figures but didnt this guy preside over a $12,000,000,000 loss?

Only to be fawned over by the Pols on that committee. I feel like committing Hara Kiri when I forget a €25 charge to a customer. Different worlds.

Also, Catherine O'Hara, Ivan Reitman, Eugene Levy, et. al.>> ^siftbot:

Oh that's possible. I don't know when my sensei trained with Steven, but know for sure he trained under Ueshiba (my sensei, not Steven).

Honestly, I think Steven's contributions to martial arts has more to do with his outsized ego than his ability. Many of the practitioners in my dojo are probably just as skilled, if not more so, than Steven, but they simply don't have his charisma.

I don't think his size is really at cause for his power, however. In aikido, size can serve as a detriment if it is not embodied within the hara -- the center -- and moves with the hips, as in any athletic endeavor.

And as someone who has experienced the kind of qi he references here, the energy is in no way mystical. It is a real phenomenon with actual effects on the mat.

My Aikido sensei, an 8th Dan, trained under the founder of Aikido with Steven. when you learn to embody the principles, the art is quite beautiful
His demo starts around 1:15 in this video.

Morehei Ueshiba died in 1969. Steven Seagal went to Japan in 1974. So Seagal never learned Aikido from the founder.
His accomplishments in Aikido are still impressive though. Undoubtedly the biggest influence in popularizing the martial art in the US.
And to elevate one of Westy's points, I suspect he gets more power from being 6'4" than he gets from any form of mystical, universal energy.

I'm only talking about who is successful, not who any of us think is funny (Leno, The Wayans are successful, but they're not the least bit funny). Some funny, attractive comediennes exist, I'm sure, somewhere, but there's not one to challenge Pryor or Williams or Murphy or Wright or Rock or Cleese or Carrey in terms of success and popularity. I could even include unfunny "comedians" like Dane Cook, and there still isn't a woman on the horizon. Even the "biggest names" like Degeneres or O'Hara still aren't in the same league. Lucille Ball is about the only one I can think of who has ever had that kind of sustained massive popularity.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Loving your country means you want to KILL everyone else?

What kind of twisted psychological conditioning has the Northern world suffered where the above definition of patriotism is lauded? The Communists had NOTHING on the pathology that's been infected to Europids.

Every day my concern for the future of Northern civilization grows.

It's not even as though we're committing cultural hara-kiri, we're diving headfirst into the pavement and severing the bungee cord strand by strand.

This is my favorite John Wayne movie. Maureen O'Hara was a beautiful lady.

I'm so impressed with this montage. The hara kiri in the 200s were just badass. I wouldn't go so far as EDD to say upvote of 1/231 of this, but my upvote was sold about 4/7ths of the way through.

Her Charleston accent is ridiculous as well. It sounds as if it's modeled on Scarlett O'Hara.

oh, and Terence "Zod" Stamp is in it, too, for chrissake.

and, as if that weren't enough? David O'Hara. easily one of my fave character actors. best known as Stephen, the insane Irishman (and my fuckin' hero), in Braveheart.

with that cast? i'd watch a re-make of Plan 9 from Outer Space.

ewww batmilk
that joker villain is really something, wow.

this post reminds me of the Turkish Batman:

Turkish Batman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3VW7Jlv1Zs
http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/04/turkish-version-of-batman-and-robin.html
OK, so this is what happens. Turkish Dick Grayson calls Turkish Bruce Wayne, who's in bed being watched by Turkish Alfred (who in Turkey is a woman) to tell him Turkish Batman and Robin are needed. Turkish Bruce then jumps out of bed in his tightie whities. Turkish Alfred is shocked. Fully dressed now, Turkish Bruce finds Turkish Dick, Turkish Barbara Gordon and a woman sleeping on his floor. Then Turkish Commissioner Gordon calls on the Turkish Bat-Phone, and Turkish Bruce and Dick turn into Turkish Batman and Robin and get into the Turkish Batmobile. For some reason the Danny Elfman theme has been replaced by James Bond tunes here. Then we cut back to Turkish Police Headquarters where Turkish Commissioner Gordon (who has shaved off his mustache in the interim) gets a call from his doctor that he has a bad prostate. He is so upset by this that he tells Turkish Chief O' Hara to leave the room. Meanwhile, Turkish Egghead has captured Turkish Vicki Vale. Turkish Batman and Robin arrive at Turkish Egghead's mansion and fight a bunch of Turkish goons, but first they take their Turkish Bat-Capes off for some reason. Their punches are really loud. Batman saves Turkish Vicki from the evil Turkish Egghead. Turkish Vicki is in her underwear, probably because the script was written by Turkish Frank Miller. Turkish Batman takes his eyes off Turkish Vicki's Turkish Hanes Her Ways long enough to notice that Turkish Robin is getting his Turkish ass handed to him by the Turkish goons. Turkish Batman rescues Turkish Robin and then, just like in the American movies, Turkish Batman is so loopy from a woman making goo-goo eyes at him that he reveals his secret identity to Turkish Vicki. They kiss. The end.
