General Movie Thread

When I watch a movie with my wife that has any reference to or visual description of weather, weather forecasting, weather technology, space-based remote sensing equipment, etc…, I am barred from commenting on any of it. Sometimes, I have to get up and just walk away with a harrumph, to which she says, “zip it!”.

These complaints seem nitpicky, like you can’t see the forest for the trees.

This isn’t an argument, it’s just contradictions!

This is a genius exchange in the sketch:

“It’s just contradictions”
“No it isn’t.”
“Yes it is.”
“No it isn’t!”

That was David and Ricky on the Ozzie and Harriet show in the 50s.

Now that the Comanches are out of the way, give me your best (the one you want to see, not necessarily the best matchup) Predator opponents from the following categories:

  1. Historical figure
  2. Fictional character
  3. Houston Astro, current or former

El Oso Blanco.

“I’ve had enough of this!”
“No you haven’t.”
“Oh shut up.”

Outstanding choice of C4, sir. Who are 1 and 2, please?

Richard Sharpe is a British Napoleonic rifleman in The Sharpe novels, and an excellent choice.

Oh OK, right. I read the first few pages of one of those books–the first I think–on my dad’s recommendation. (He started reading the Sharpe novels after running out of Patrick O’Brien.)

I’m having trouble with number 1 and 2, but I’m stunned that no one’s chosen Nolan Ryan for #3.

This is a common path.

Musashi is a warrior-philosopher, generally considered the best swordsman in Japanese history.
