Does anyone happen to know how long the opening acts are scheduled to play?

It all really just comes down to the look you're going for...

So, what's 3 pounds to you?

The way I see it, I gain and lose weight like it's nothing...

Honestly, you can't beat the latest James Bond flick.

You know, that whole scene involving the chair, a rope, and a certain... sensitive area?😁

Full Metal Jacket

I honestly don't get you people

The critics everywhere gave this movie glowing reviews

But apparently, we've got the world's greatest experts right here in this thread... so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut

I don't know about you all, but I’ve been sitting here staring at this thread for twenty minutes trying to make sense of what neonhound32 just posted... It’s a bit much, isn't it? Honestly, some people just love to hear themselves talk. Anyway, back to the topic at hand... kaže:
Oh, please... what are you, twelve? 🙄

And what exactly led you to that conclusion?...

I already mentioned earlier that I thought the movie was bad.

No, not Dark Horse. It's absolute garbage.

Exactly. Just as I clearly stated my dislike for it, and you all responded by throwing insults. 😉

Look, I’m really not out to offend anyone here...

neonhound32 said:Aha. We’ve reached the stage where you can't find ways to praise your own cinematic tastes, so you resort to chauvinistic tropes and insults.
Has anyone ever told you that doing this just makes you look pathetic?😉

Hot Fuzz is a mediocre film consisting entirely of hollow jokes and mindless humor. Everything is predictable. Therefore, the way they market it—as a comedy—already fails.
The plot is unconvincing and dull. The protagonist is a cop who is perfect by every possible standard (where else does that exist besides movies? It's a tired cliché) and then he gets transferred to a tiny town where everything is perfectly peaceful and orderly (more clichés, please), while behind the scenes, the whole village has actually gone insane. (???) Come on. 🤣 It couldn't be less imaginative if it tried.

It was all shot in completely uninteresting locations. You see nothing new in the film. It isn't educational in any conceivable way, and all you get from it is an hour and a half of wasted life that you could have used SO much better elsewhere.

And yet, you still claim women don't understand cinema. I have written reviews for film scores and motion pictures, which alone puts me ahead of you. Be careful about acting superior next time.

Jerk.

You can say whatever you want, but saying the humor sucks... 😲

either you have absolutely no sense of humor at all, or you're just salty because someone insulted women as critics, so now you're intentionally trashing the film.

The movie is great—a true parody (unless maybe you think Dark Horse is the pinnacle of parody).

It isn't just cheap action; it’s a mockery of those exact types of movies.

But then again, you can't argue with taste, so....

Absolute masterpiece.

I really need to give this another watch...

coastaldrifter3 said:So, did you just vanish? And which gym are you actually training at? Based on what you're saying, it doesn't sound like you have much experience under your belt. In my opinion, if a roundhouse kick lands, it works miracles—especially a high kick, that’s obvious—but personally, I think the knee is the most devastating strike. I've seen people do absolute damage with knees... You were claiming everything can be blocked, but there are all sorts of grips and defensive styles, whether we're talking hand techniques or footwork. Just curious, how long have you been training and what's your weight class? It honestly surprises me how much flexibility guys in the lower weight categories can have in their hips when they throw a kick...

Actually, the knee is easily the most powerful strike there is.

It packs the most force...

plus, you've got that sharp edge where it's just pure bone hitting the target, with no muscle to cushion the blow.

Does anyone know if there’s a Judo club over at Sport Park Mladost?

Is anyone actually training there... and if so, what does the schedule look like?

thanks

sounds in outer space

They really should have cast Jason Statham (Snatch, Crank, The Transporter)

Anything from Ong Bak or even the first Matrix would work perfectly

Plus, let's be honest, Jackie Chan has plenty of gems in his older stuff too...

Spinning in place?

So, I caught it last night at AMC Theatres...

It wasn't exactly a bad movie, I guess...

Honestly, Hoyt was getting on my last nerve throughout the entire movie. I am genuinely counting down the days until someone finally gives him what he deserves...

Jason Fisher78 said:Oh, come on. Don't be like that. Give us the link to that study...

That article popped up on Yahoo! about two months ago... Yahoo!

I'll see if I can track him down...

Why is everyone obsessed with the idea that eating before bed is bad news?

Science has actually proven there’s zero correlation there...

I personally eat after midnight every single night and I feel fine—plus, I've actually dropped 14 pounds over the last two months.

@CodeAcademy
Man, you just need to get moving; hit the pavement, go for a ride, jump in a pool, honestly just find something to do for at least an hour a day.
And maybe watch what you're putting in your body (cut out the chips, soda, ice cream, and all that junk)
You can still have a beer, just don't overdo it.
Beer doesn't have fat or cholesterol, but it does trigger hunger later, so maybe just stick to one slice of pizza afterward 😁 (that hasn't backfired on me yet)

Taylor Murphy5 said:I didn't realize you could actually use equipment? That seems a bit silly to me. Besides, I wasn't really planning on competing or anything... just doing it recreationally. It’s a good way to blow off steam and burn some calories since it’s pretty intense.

Well, why don't you just sign up for an MMA bout then?

That's about as close as you'll get to a street fight, except there are actual rules and you won't end up losing your head...

If I recall correctly, there's an MMA gym right over in Chicago...
