Threw on my Ong-Bak DVD (which on the disc itself is titled "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior," interestingly as I don't see that title anywhere else). I also threw on "The Protector," afterward which is another incredible/insane Ja project and makes SO much more sense now after hearing Stanger say Tony's parents were elephant herders.
Gabrus - the media tells me you might be scromoting from your cannabis use. You ok, bud? Or is big alcohol trying to get their market share back?
Came across this on prime. Had no idea it existed. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092532/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Great episode. Couldn't agree more with the running man, all my armchair script fixes made me appreciate DeSoza so much more. Also, Gabrus name dropping Turok is elite ball knowledge.
As NinjaVember wraps, let’s not worry about what could be or would have been, Keep our minds instead on the Shuriken.
I happen to have a couple of shuriken around, to placate my inner child, but they’re spike-shaped “bo” shuriken rather than star-shaped. In any event someone won’t let me practice throwing in the apartment.
eat pluribus yum yum
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because I truly loved the running man remake
I really don't see what anyone possibly could like about it, it doesn't excel in any area and certainly doesn't feel like a Wright film
What is the appeal of Glenn Powell?
In most of his things it's just strong charisma -- but apparently Running Man works against that.
Any fun ABZ related Thanksgiving dinner conversations? Just had to explain the whole Billy Bob Thornton band video interview to a group of people
Hasbro just released a Cold Slither set with instruments and everything for any other GI Joe freaks out there
Hasbro is one of the great names for a company, toy or otherwise. It’s got zing.
The biggest question is. Did the beauty and the beast fan fiction get left at head gum?
I think they said it was apparently gone the day after that recording.
Rodgers’ proto-Bronson moustache looks great!
Billy Jack and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are my 87 year old Dad's favorite movies.
Havelock is the name of an old neighborhood in Lincoln Nebraska. Couple of great dive bars and one of the best pizza spots in town
For a tiny tuk-tuk style truck you’d see here in the states, look at Cushman vehicles like the Truckster. NYPD used to have a bunch for stuff like parking enforcement.
love those little freaks!
Love that Rodgers is friends with Cochran. I forgot Cochran was a tv writer, so it makes sense.
I agree with the criticism of Head Gum’s camera angles, but you have to admit they had a much better hair and makeup team.

the thought of seeing the end of chair company episode 5 with your son...oh god
I respect your opinion on the new Running Man. I agree on some of the points made. But I actually liked it. I just don’t think it accomplishes what people wanted it to accomplish, and felt like Wright kinda was aiming at something closer to the 80’s movie with the material. If that’s the case, he should’ve taken more liberties outside of the films ultimate conclusion. Even if I liked it. The 80’s film is better. It’s economic, it’s entertaining , and you end up remembering more afterwards in a positive light, no matter how dumb it is. The new one is more enlightening, and detailed, but it’s too stuffed even with the extended runtime, and comes off dumber as a result. One thing you guys brought that I agree on 100%, and that’s de Souza looking at the material to realize his ideas to change it were for the better. Because all I heard throughout the 90’s up until the release of this one was that the material in the book should’ve been adapted into the Arnold movie. To my eye, reading the differences, I couldn’t disagree with those people more. Because as seen in the film, you need several exposition dumps to be able to explain the rules, and the why’s of the game. Truthfully all those cries to adapt all of the Running Man “The correct way” got louder after 9/11, because of the ending, and I just thought those people pushing for it just came off as obnoxious. Still I enjoyed it. In the end it’s a **3/4 movie. Doesn’t quite meet the “Good” mark. While the original is ***1/2 that breaks “Good”, and is entertaining in a way that made it so re-watchable on cable. The new one will probably never reach those highs.
It sucked shit though and boring and tedious
It's been fun watching Chair Company with my kid every Sunday minus the Scrooge porn part. I just laughed through it though cause it was so insane. It's probably the first absurdist humor they've seen outside of YouTube
Lol sorry folks I liked the new running man more than the Arnold movie.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Villenueve = basically "vil-nuv"
In the NES era we bugged my mom forever for the OG Final Fantasy, but no dice. When the SNES launched we asked to rent it 2 weekends in a row, and my dad just caved "if you're gonna rent it all the time, we might as well buy one". Happiest surprise moment! We get home and mom starts crying--she'd finally got us FF for Christmas. The vibe got real sad & I learned something about their marriage. Fun times.
