She called me a dirty word
Feb. 22nd, 2008 02:59 amHad dinner at Uncle Vito's with the usual suspects. Has a slice of pepperoni and sausage, but also tried something new by having a slice with meatball and garlic. I mean, garlic powder on your pizza tastes good, but actual minced garlic tastes even better.

Heh, browsing youtube, I guess you really can find any cool action sequence on there. I think I've said before that "The Hunted" is an underrated movie. And I thought it was neat before I learned Tommy Lee Jones' character was based off of Tom Brown, whose book we had to read for "Body, Mind, and Spirit" class in high school. While not technically an action sequence, I always thought the Training Flashback was really cool. I guess when you need to put a guy down, you need to put him down good, but still, it seems like overkill! Heart, carotid artery, disembowelment, heart again+spine, groin, then brain? Or weapon arm, heart, both femoral arteries, then lung? I guess its unpossible to survive all of those together, so its the best way to be sure they're dunzo. Apparently the style used in the movie was Filipino Kali, but I don't think it was straight Kali, it seemed like there was a little brazilian ju-jutsu thrown in there as well. But Flips know knife fighting. After all, the etymology of the Marine nickname "Leathernecks" was because the Marines started having to wear straps of leather around their neck to avoid the Filipinos' adept throat cutting (I wonder if that's why "throat cutting" is my go-to threat?) techniques when the US and the Philippines had that little tiff in 1898.
But while I'm on knife fight sequences, two of my other favorite action sequences involving knives from video games or movies is 1) Danny Trejo as the knife wielding assassin in Desperado and 2) The Krauser-Leon knife duel from Resident Evil 4. The latter looks cool, and is one of the awesomer sequences to play through in any video game, ever.
Oh, and if you have your enemy in your crosshairs, its shoot, then quip, not quip then shoot. If you waste your time babbling, his ally will sneak up behind you and take you out before you take him out!
Getting back to Body, Mind, and Spirit class in high school, one of my high school nemeses, Trish was in that class. ( Its a story! )
