I've never seen either, so my suggestion would be to watch the Olympics :)
I know, there's something I'm missing, I don't appreciate the nuances, etc etc etc.
How did they score that before the invention of yellow LED's?
"We're all fencing with our Yellow LED's...
Yellow LED's...
Yellow LED's..."
"Yer arm's off."
"No, it isn't."
LOL!
SpikeTV. And apparently at 9, not 8 (EDT), so no more dilemma :)
Bye for now...
"How did they score that before the invention of yellow LED's?"
I think the person who was still alive won :)
Real fencing isn't as visually entertaining as an Errol Flynn movie because the attacks and defenses are much more practical=direct. Everything revolves around straight thrusts and countering straight thrusts, which translates into a minimum of wasted motion. A lot of the fight is felt rather than seen as one fencer tries to redirect the energy of the other's foil through very subtle changes of angle and plane. A lot of the fight is also in the footwork. It probably doesn't lend itself well to being a spectator sport.
I usually only watch the gymnastics myself, and maybe boxing and basketball. I do want to watch the Tae Kwon Do matches, too, this year. Anyone know when they're on?
I signed up for this deal at Blockbuster... unlimited rentals for a month for $15, then they hike the price and I'm going to cancel it. So I need to pick a movie for tonight. Any suggestions?
I hope that solves alot of problems fer yuh, and saves you alotta time...
about how many acres?... the goin' rate here is $30 an hour/acre... that's what I charge...
Back...am now working to rebuild (for the umpteenth time) my church's website...have had to 1)draw a map for the pamphlet 2) update parishoner mailing list 3) confirm use of phone numbers and 4) collect all material scattered out all over kingdom come. *whew!* I didnt think being church secretary would be this...complicated!! LOL
Used to not be this bad 10 years ago...gads, I hate Lee Brown. Clinton implant.
Do they have any more Kurosawas?
is this a funkle??????????
Mmm, but I'm planning to get the "Cowboy Bebop Best Sessions", so I don't want both to be Japanese (the deal lets you have two out at a timne.)
Guess I'll go see what they've got..
Hey, I bet Nathaniel would know fencing! That could make some cool subplots.
That church secretary stuff sounds like a lot of work! I used to have this one preacher friend who handled all that stuff himself and I remember him always scrambling to get the church bulletin and everything else done every week.
This guy is charging more than twice that! He has a $200 minimum, thinks it'll take him 3-4 hours. But it's only about 2 acres.
I like "Cowboy Bebop". I'm trying to imagine how they'd do a "best sessions" format, though. The plot is pretty complex and it seems like it'd be easy to get lost if they skip episodes.
Hmmm, non-Japanese. . .maybe check what they've got in the SF section. You could also see if they've got some MST3Ks :)
Sometime when you're looking for another Asian film, check out Jet Li's early movies, esp. "Legend" and "Tai Chi Master".
