What about flicking on and off like those girls? I would do the same as an adult!

I have limited experience with slinging, but IMHO it's already very much the same as just throwing a stone out of your hand in terms of aim and how it feels.

You basically just release the knot at the point of the swing where you would anyway. Feels very natural.

There's also very little gain in swinging it more than one revolution above your head, almost all the power comes from the flick at the last moment.

I found getting a good power stroke (ooh er Mrs etc.) was the harder part.

A good afternoon of farting about and you could probably kill someone fairly proficiently with one though.

Someone with a lifetime of practice would be terrifying, at least as much as a good archer I would imagine.

If you like any of the Marvel movies, do yourself a favor and see Winter Soldier, it will answer your question in spades. Some important aspects of it have been spoiled by your having watched this trailer, but it's an *excellent* movie. I'd put it in my top 3 or 4 Marvel flicks, along with Iron Man 1, Avengers 1, and Guardians. I didn't like the first Captain America movie, but Winter Soldier is a whole different animal, vastly superior in my opinion.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, *shakes head* Toronto media goes two for two on mucking up Tom Hardy questions. It was a Toronto reporter that asked him the Mad Max "chick flick" question in Cannes.

Man, our media is terrible. =(

That's a good flick

Good stuff. The guy has several more animations on his channel. There's even one paying homage to the old kung fu action flicks, starring various Gundam models.

If you liked Suzuki's visuals and cinematography, I can only recommend Tokyo Drifter, a Yakuza movie that was a kind of pioneer in perverting the codes of the genre.

If you like 60s Japanese period flicks with a Sergio-Leonesque take on the Samurais genre, Suzuki also made a couple, but in that case do also have a look at Kenji Misumi's work, better known as the director of the original Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman, and of course as the main director of Lone Wolf And Cub, a.k.a Baby Kart. The two first movies were kind-of-butchered, re-cut and re-dubbed as "Shogun Assassin" in the USA; but the real thing is six movies long, and all of them are worth it in my opinion.

I was impressed with it. A good Sci Fi flick without a lot of action shots is a rarity theses days. Thanks for the tip.

He dances better then he acts. Celebrity(fan boy) worship is annoying. Don't kid yourself. Know different them Justin Bieber worship. Same type of talent IMO.

-edit-
I have no idea. Maybe the guy can actually act(although I wouldn't consider playing Loki as good acting). Any idiot can play a super hero role (imo) I just hate super hero flicks. They are such shit usually as films go.

end of rant

Tell me how you really feel

Yeah, I sort of didn't want to bring him up. I'm still reeling from Prometheus... I walked out of each Star Wars and Star Trek film shaking my head wondering what happened. But Prometheus -- there wasn't a single moment I believed I was watching a film from the Alien franchise. Sad memories... sad memories...

On a lighter note, how about M. Night's new flick? Thoughts? Ahaha! Maybe this time the secret ending is that it's going to be a good film.

All of these people are capable of making good movies and television. Where does it go wrong? Why are we being dumped on with horrible, but well meaning movies? Someone tell Hollywood their formula SUCKS. We liked it before there was a formula.

If Star Wars 7 is a piece of shit, does that mean It Follows was my favorite film of the year? That would be hilarious, because I really like that film but mostly for the score. I sort of hope it's my favorite film of the year, with awesome lofi soundtrack and "F Star Wars" as my cited reasons.

I think Abrams was a pretty good choice. He represents the opposite of the fundamental thing I didn't like about the prequels, namely that Lucas took himself and the films too seriously (on top of being a crappy director in general). Abrams makes good action/adventure popcorn flicks, which is where the series needs to go, at least for the first film.

Seems like a bit of a departure from his caricature roles, more of a serious drama, thinking persons zombie flick perhaps? Nothing wrong with "zombie" per se if it's done properly. I'm interested.

Fury was laughable. It tried too hard, so it looked like a pathetic propaganda movie from exactly those times.
John Wick however was really well made. It felt like a good 80s or 90s action flick.

4:08---the cascading crane collapse---was sort of terrifying.
Fails are sort of funny horrifying---because they can be at the edge of snuff flicks with the weights and objects involved in some of these...
