We didn't actually break up over They Live, it was a general incompatibility.

But I like that story more tbh
Every time someone says a couple were incompatible, I just picture two sets of oddly shaped genitals mashing uselessly against eachother.

Never fitting together.

Hey guys, Dickeye hasn't seen Big Trouble in Little China. Or Repo Man, but we already knew that one.

Fun fact about Big Trouble in Little China: the guy who made the ape monster thing was Screamin' Mad George, the guy who designed the special effects for the end of Society.

Big Trouble in Little China is worth it just because it has Victor Wong and James Hong.

I'm willing to say Big Trouble in Little China is, pound-for-pound, the most fun movie ever made. Kurt Russell and James Hong chewing up the scenery, the writing, the goofy effects, the escalation, the choreography, everything about it is just super entertaining.

I've been wanting to watch this for a while and see it was on Netflix so I'll try and watch it this week. I would have seen it at Sundance but the person I see movies with was really repulsed by it and there only so many horror movies I can veto into the schedule and I unfortunately used that for 31

Yeah, I have an ex, who I had very good reasons for breaking up with, but I prefer to say I broke up with her because she wanted me to spoil BSG for her while we were watching it. She got mad that I wouldn't tell her who the Cylons were. During the miniseries.
