Adam Goldberg starts a fight with a tough looking jock because he figures it will only be a couple of punches before everyone breaks up the fight.

It does not go as planned, he proceeds to have the poo poo kicked out of him.

Robert Carlisles' character from Trainspotting has always epitomized "the guy you DO NOT fight" as they wont even give a poo poo about fighting you, just causing awful injury to you with the nearest dangerous object.

Even worse Bigby (it was Bigby right?) seemed to kinda WANT to hurt himself in the process. That's not somebody you wanna gently caress with.

This is going to sound weird, but it's because an MMA match is a sport and it is constrained by rules. An MMA fighter has trained for years and years to fight within those rules. Most "pure" martial artists haven't.

It's because I can't gouge his eyes out, or rip off his ball sack, or punch him in the hyoid bone, or... a million other strikes and response that would end in crippling debility or death.

EDIT: I'm not trying to say "RAWR martial artist is better than MMA!". A lot of MMA fighters are masters in at least one discipline themselves. But someone that has trained in something like Kenpo or Krav Maga for 20 years vs. someone that has trained for a similar period in an MMA gym in a fight to the death? I know where my money lies.

Always remove your shirt for a fight. It's one less thing for the other guy to grab onto, whipping it off makes you look keen (very intimidating), and it won't get ruined in the scrap.

Some random might nick it though, and you'll freeze your nips off walking home.

Well if someone steals your shirt what you do is get into a fight with someone else so you can take their shirt. The shirt might get all bloody and ripped because they're still wearing it but who cares? All you want it for is to cover your freezing nips.

Also just reminds me of another Nick Cage movie that he did shortly after Adaptation that featured a poo poo ton of voiceover, The Weather Man.

Most of you have probably either not seen this film or blocked it from your memory. Somehow I ended up seeing it in theaters.
I think it was at discount theater when I was in college? I don't even remember how I ended up seeing it.

It stars a depressed Nick as a weatherman who makes bad predictions so people hate him. He gets cancer and takes up archery. The end. I just spoiled the whole movie.
In addition to the plot being a total wet fart, there was one scene that I will never be able to remove from my memory.

Nick's character is loving some whore in a hotel room, and the voice over says a bunch of really weird random poo poo, including "I wish I had two dicks"
That's not something I needed to know about you, Cage. :stare:

Actually the clip is even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRaCv5oNQ3w he's rambling about Tartar sauce, eating pussy, and Neil Young.

What in the gently caress.

E: Just noticed the kid in that film is the dude from X-Men: First Class. That's cool.

But he doesn't get cancer, his father does.

Not a good movie though, that's for sure.

Edit: I remember the trailer making it look like a movie where this downtrodden weatherman takes up archery to win the respect/fear of those who hate him, notably the general public. This is certainly not the case, but probably would've made for a better plot, that's for sure.

Actually, this reminds me of a scene that irritated me in trainspotting, where they beat up the American tourist in the toilets of the pub.

That doesn't seem to happen as far as I've seen in Edinburgh/Leith. I guess the guy was an annoying twat though, but it bothered me a little that Renton and Spud got involved. Didn't seem like their characters would do that, but then again I don't know any heroin addicts so maybe that's normal.

At this point Wicker Man at least has some value on a "Manos: Hands of Fate" level of horrible. But there's no redeeming The Weather Man.

The weird thing about the bees scene is that it was cut from the movie and only added to the dvd release later, probably because it was so internet popular. In the original ending Nick Cage burns to death in a man-shaped effigy made out of wicker.

Yeah That movie had a really weird trailer for what it was. There's a bit in the trailer where he's doing a 3 legged race with his daughter and they fall. She wants to stop but he says "There's a lesson in this" and gets her to keep going while uplifting music plays. In the actual movie, the same basic thing happens except his daughter broke her ankle in the fall and everyone thinks he's a huge rear end in a top hat for making her continue the race.

Which is actually pretty funny. To be honest I remember it being ok. Not great but certainly not terrible.

The TV show Wayward Pines is alright, but the last two episodes pissed me off.
1. How come two kids that were right next to an IED, and who were actually blown away by the blast THROUGH the metal walls of a truck, were barely injured, while the driver, who was farther away, died.
2. How come the missing truck, in the latest episode, isn't traceable?

Best I got.

1: That was a fuckup. If they'd have shown the kids heading towards the back for "privacy" and had some boxes between em, and left the music box at the front by the driver, then it'd have been 100%... well, 80% better. The kid who plays the son should have looked like hamburger after flying through a steel/metal van wall.

2: This one I kinda understand. since EVERYONE is chipped and there's no satellite coverage anymore, lojacking something isn't really an option. If you are in a vehicle, you are going somewhere, and there are very few blind spots on the cameras on the roads. It's something they should have done (and probably would have done had that fucknut not busted through the fence) but I can see the logic in not having the vehicles be traceable.
