So few sad balding middle aged men with a sense of humour on videosift? Come on C-note, give yourself a vote at least!

Us men seem to be way more insecure than I previously imagined.

I get the Action Movies where a young, fit, trained specialist takes out an army of bad guys (against all odds) because he is the hero..

Young men like to watch this, because they have to much Testosterone.

I partly get the Action Movies where a middle aged man of a srtictly civilian persuasion is "pushed too far"(tm), normally by bad guys abducting (or just threatening) his family, and wipes out the bady guys (usually career criminals with lots of training in killing people) by the dozen.

Middle aged men seem to need this to get through the day.

What I really don't get is this slew of movies over the last years, where a retired, old and tired looking man, (usually after his daughter gets kidnapped) decides to come out of retirement one last time (or multiple times) to kill hordes of young, highly trained bad guys.

I get it why some men like to watch this, Testosterone makes you stupid like that, no matter if it comes in syringes, but the rest?

My only hope is that the creators know they're portraying two very sad, middle aged men who have no other way of proving their value, and catastrophe will strike in either a funny or poignant way.

Just have to say. I don't get it. Is it useful? is there a point? is there a reason? Is there a purpose? It all seems like tradition for traditions sake. I admit it takes time and practice, but is it a skill? and if so, I need to smoke what your smoking, because to me it's just middle aged men cutting shit with a sharp object.

And since i'm in a terrible mood i would also like to say; when did videosift turn into reddit.com/videos? Seems like the whole purpose of this web community is lost in a sea of lame shit I can see somewhere else. Why dosen't siftbot copy and past reddit's entire front page onto videosifts and just save everyone else the trouble.

I guess this website it practicing in the art of futility, just like this video.

Here's the problem; that button (unless I'm mistaken) is to stop the rear wheels from spinning out when you apply too much gas. Sort of like traction control for middle aged men that over compensate by pushing the gas pedal to the floor all the time to hear their cars go ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR.

So basically an experienced driver knows when you are trying to accelerate you apply the gas firmly and in a controlled manner. If you're trying to take a turn you don't PUNCH the gas you stay steady on. If you PUNCH the gas in a turn (as this guy did) your rear wheels will spin and you will lose all traction and the rear end will slide out and well you saw what happened next.

If you're going to turn off all the computerized stuff that makes you look like you know what you're doing in a big car like this; at least take it slow, or you'll be a jackass like this guy.

I just saw the best cartoon --

A bunch of middle-aged men crouched underneath school desks. The caption?

Cold War Reenactors.

Ha.

Now, to get back to what the story should have covered more, namely, what is the appeal of the show, I think it's just who men want to be. It's middle-aged men acting like a bunch of boys, because honestly, most of us aren't terribly interested in growing up. We don't want to be politically correct. I completely failing this morning to articulate it well, but it's just boys being boys and everything the boy in us has always wanted to do.

The biggest disaster to hit America is Barack Hussein Obama. Oil rig fail? Shit happens. But the non-stop war on the American way of life from the Red House Regime is far more dangerous and insidious than some oil spill that will be forgotten in a year.


Middle Aged Men With Swords Hacking Meat? More like Obama hacking the constitution with a hammer and sickle. Am I right quantum? Am I right?

Oh wait, wrong thread.

Oh shit, Milton got a badass sword! http://videosift.com/video/Office-Space-I-Believe-You-Have-My-Stapler



I see what you did there... nice one!

>> ^NordlichReiter:

Not once did I see them use the sword with one hand, swinging the blade.


Then you blinked, quite slowly, and missed it... the magic happens at around 3:18-3:20

To be fair, it's just so hard to find ancient Athenian voice talent these days...

I like how they used different voices.. yet they all sound like white middle-aged men.

Specially the last voice... definitely a middle aged man.
