Hell yeah
wait... John Conner Sean CONNERy
The Vector W8 is the absolute perfect car for this shitty movie. Yes, it can reach 242 MPH, but it also has a 3-speed transmission and such a shitty car that the Wikipedia article calls it automotive "vaporware. Y'all still need a car guy? I'm ready to quit my higher ed job, so let me know.
i’ve never been seen, like this action boys ep. definitely did get a 16 hour traditional japanese tattoo in senior High school year heading into college to study Japanese/International Relations in 2005. very much felt like a person with japanese insight til you realize you’re from kansas and really don’t
As a white kid from Kansas I to was super into japanese culture. Luckily I did not get a tattoo but a couple of my friends did
Listening to Stephen king short stories on cloud library and made it to the cum maid story is as sticky and gross as advertised. So far the other weirdest horny story was about kids stuck on a lake platform as a physic oil slick or something surrounds them and devours them 1 by 1 and when it's down to the last guy and girl they fuck and mid fuck the girl gets grabbed by the goo. Extra points cuz that one was read by king so extra gross hearing him describe fucking. Uncle Steve is great wonder if the boys will ever tackle the dark tower love that series
My girlfriend has listened to ABZ twice. First time was when Gabrus and Rodgers were complaining about the weed cafe that had no drinks, the second time was this week when they were talking about how stupid it is that people think sushi is healthy. Her conclusion: “You said these guys were kinda bros but they sound like every other L.A. guy.”
A tattoo of Lobo on his space chopper would be sick.
“Cryin? What? Maybe not.”
Enjoyed this thriller, felt like an adult watching this one. I didn't catch on to Ray Wise until he was on the Adult Swim show and Children's Hostpital spinoff; "Newsreaders". He plays Skip Reming and he is really f'ing funny on that show. Highly recommend looking that up, his character was a stand out on a funny cast of that show. Oo I see he was also in Red Alert 2 so I'm sure I saw him on that when playing at my friend's house with the good computer, I was always Iraq with the shark blimps. On the topic of Rodgers' bat. A while back I think he asked for help naming his bat of he got one. Well, If he doesn't name his bat "The Cosmic Key" then he's doing it wrong.
WTF the (smaller)Mini costs $10 more than the Crusher? Thoughts?
Had a good laugh about the Cold Steel bats, I ordered one maybe a month ago after being unimpressed with the ones at Dicks and really enjoying their Youtube videos smashing cinderblocks and cars. Brooklyn Basher is an awesome name, but I settled on the next size up (Brooklyn Crusher). There's another one a bit bigger, closer to MLB size, but I think it would be just a bit too long and heavy for close encounters.
I’ll just build a moat around my house.
Wonder if Rodgers has ever been to The Record Collector on Melrose. The guy who runs the place is a real misanthrope and chases “browsers” out of his store regularly. Highly recommend reading some of the Yelp reviews.
I would definitely be down for the ABZ Japan "cruise" live show
4 out of 5 barbers recommend... cocaine
I've never cleaned up a fuck chamber, but I did work in a hostel that had family rooms for a while. Occasionally picking up used condoms is probably preferrable to playing a round of "find where the people who just checked out hid their baby's full diaper" every other morning.
Golf fucking rules, ABz. Worked on a course for like 15 years. Happy to give lessons.
Stanger needs kisses after this one.
I think we can all agree Mako’s finest performance as a powerful Japanese businessman happened three years earlier when he played Mr. Sakamoto (aka Big Sak) in the 1990 comedy “Takin’ Care of Business” starring ABZ hall of famer Jim Belushi.
Yikes. I just moved to a much more conservative area city (just across the river from where I was, lol) and I have been being bombarded with pro gun/Christian/Lets Go Brandon ads and I was wondering why. Now knowing that my ip is bouncing around off my neighbors, this makes sense. And scares me.

There was a police Lt Graham in my family. He kind of looked like Harvey keitel as well, though he was only fractionally as racist and corrupt as the character in this movie. A pretty large fraction, though
These long-ass episodes rule! Really helped keep me cheered up during the pandemic and that's worth Shadow Wolves price a hundred times over. I'm always excited to see which movie comes next, I've never been disappointed.
Pandemic is over bruh
Re: the dog with the hand in its mouth in the karaoke video - it’s gotta be a nod to the same at the beginning of Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, right?
That's how I saw it... Which is a fucking weird way to start THIS movie though, right‽
As a Packers fan it was such a bummer to find out Aaron Rodgers was an antivaxxer Rogan guy. I always liked hearing him talk about how his favorite movie is Tombstone and that his favorite movie stars were all action guys like Keanu and Chuck.
Rodgers’ John Wick Halloween costume must have softened the blow a little, right? Would’ve been so awesome if #12 had tried to kill the coronavirus with a pencil.
Japan's rockabilly dance groups are a subject of endless fascination for me.

For anyone using the “Just Watch” app, if you go to any action Boyz movie and scroll down to the “people who liked this also liked” section, it’s literally all ABZ movies.
I was shocked to see the score (likely his last) was written by Toru Takemitsu, legendary Japanese modernist composer.
Mortal Kombat is a great action boys film.
“Suck your own dick as close to my pussy as possible” might be a new kink I didn’t know I had.
Yeah this movie is ass
In response to the boyz question to housekeeping professionals and their experience cleaning fuck chambers, I did not directly work in housekeeping but I did work in a midtown NYC hotel while I attended Fordham University (making me the Rodgers of my friend group). There was one night a couple years ago when Bitcoin held a private party at the hotel’s nightclub. As you can imagine, the hotel was full of the biggest douchebags in the history of douchebags and their leader was none other than the man who deputized himself during the Las Vegas music festival massacre and demanded responding officers give him a gun: Dan Bilzerian. So naturally these guys had the party full of the most incredibly attractive women I’ve ever seen. Dan had the hotels executive suite booked and then next day the housekeepers told me that the suite was full of evidence of a mass orgy. In addition to the usual soiled sheets and used condoms, apparently the suite was also littered with knee pads. Dan and his Bitcoin crew had the foresight to bring several pairs of knee pads for their after party guests. Whatever they tipped the housekeeping staff (and based on who it was I would be surprised if it was anything) it was not nearly enough.
A woman in a dance class I took in college like 20 years had a Peter Pan Peanut Butter Peter Pan tattooed on her shoulder blade. I wonder how that guy is doing.
My last name is Gasper.
My favorite Stanger is.
When I woke up today I had no idea I would be ordering a Brooklyn Shorty mini bat while having my morning coffee.
They need a weed guy.
Stanger is on fire.
re: actor/porn star names. Dude's saying Bree Olsen instead of Bree Larsen is pretty common and funny, "who's that?" NEVERMIND
I'm not particularly comfortable with my fellow white guys in martial arts classes throwing "sempai" and "kohai" around; I'm always concerned that we're using those terms egregiously incorrectly in a way that would be offensive to an actual Japanese person, none of whom I've met have ever used those words in conversation.
Cage is good in Pig but it's a pretty dumb movie
was Harry Connick Jr. a medieval knight?
I have three copies of art of War in my house.
Hey man I go to a lot of tattoo parties. I'm not looking to make new tattoo friends.
Scissor doors. - Car Door Guy
Guest?
Connery breaking out the eyebrows, hair, and skin tone from his You Only Live Twice days. Somehow this was only marginally less racially insensitive.
“You’re in Japan now dawg.”
Wall Street was the first major use of Art of War douchbaggery
When did it replace “The Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli I wonder? When did Italian cunning get trumped by Chinese in the business world?
I know it's a death knell when someone requests a movie, but would the Boyz consider doing Top Dog? Chuck Norris and a dog team up to fight neo-Nazis in San Diego. Probably lots to talk about.
You should definitely DM this to Gabrus on Twitter. He's usually too high to check his DMs, so he'll appreciate it if you re-send it every 15 minutes or so until he sees it.
Between last weeks Terminal Velocity having "Cyrillic... like from Syria!?" and this movie having "The Art of War" being so difficult and intellectual they don't think your average sleazy senator would have read it, I'm really being reminded of how dumb the 90s everyman filmgoer was presumed to be by Hollywood
To be fair... The average dude in 1993 probably wasn't that well read. The majority of people I grew up with haven't read a book since High School. Shit... Half of those folks barely read the Cliff Notes.
Snipes' eleventh ABZ appearance if my janitor math is correct.
