526 - An Assortment Of Blasting Assaults

[9:53 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
did you like that coffee Mr. Blue?
[9:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
why, what'd you do to it?
it tasted like coffee
[9:54 AM] 
Drink it all the way down - sometimes the poison goes to the bottom.
[9:54 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I put a regular and a decaf in cause i like it to taste robust
but i don't like the giant caffeine punch of two regulars.
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
it does taste strong
i don't like coffee taste much but i think i'd prefer strong coffee taste to bland
[9:58 AM] 
If you're gonna drink it...drink it
Like me and people loading up tea with sugar and lemon and berry flavors and creamers and...
"Stop calling it tea."
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have always liked dark coffee
like a medium or up
when it tastes like dirty water its dumb
that's not coffee
[10:09 AM] 
"Coffee flavored drink product"
As opposed to "Beverage with coffee"
[11:29 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
once again i find myself at a crossroad where i think i should stop consuming caffeine
I feel good and shitty at the same time
[11:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
that's a symptom of low free-range caffeine
you need more
[11:32 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I think it exacerbates too many of my other problems
[11:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
caffeine is generally safe and well tolerated and even has some benefits
in moderate levels
[11:38 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I think my system is too over excited to start with
[11:33 AM] 





[10:24 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Watched Uncommon Valor late last week - similar to Rambo 2 and Missing In Action. Buncha guys go to vietnam to rescue POWs. gene hackman is in it.
It's horrible.
To rescue 4 guys, like 6 of the heroes die
It makes no sense to have 4 malnourished, barely-walking slave laborers when you need like 20 guards to keep an eye on them
It has gene hackman, swayze, fred ward, but also some terrible actors like reb brown (space mutiny guy). He even does the “huuaaahhh!” space mutiny scream
There are scenes where it looks like entire sections of it were removed
One scene *begins* with two guys in the middle of a fist fight with no explanation as to why they were fighting.
[10:30 AM] 
hehe
Saw it in the theater...barely remember any of it
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Gene Hackman is good
Fred Ward is good
but that isn't enough
The rest of them are too cliched.. like the A Team
[10:49 AM]  
I remember thinking it was a stupid mission that got a pile of people killed.
And the guy in the asylum making faces in the two-way mirror that was just a window...and blowing himself up.
And the guy happy to get people to run into trap after trap.
"Men!  I'm getting a team together to infiltrate Viet Nam because I can't make a phone call to Amnesty International."
"Why not, sir?"
"I get nervous on the phone."
(grumbling approval)
[10:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heheh
[10:53 AM] 
"I propose we spend about $200000 on equipment to invade a country in violation of a slew of laws, wander around for a while trying to find a camp, and then murder a bunch of people just in case something is actually there. This will cause an international incident and possibly result in full blown hostilities...just like the old days."
(Group roars in approval)
"Right!  Time for a montage so we can skip the 2 months of us talking ourselves out of this moronic idea!"
[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
And then they get there and the very poorly dubbed CIA guy is like "we know what you're doing, don't do it."
Of course the guy obsessed with bombs is called "Blaster"
[11:03 AM] 
Of course
[11:07 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I liked that film Uncommon Valor!
[11:15 AM] 
"Men, we're gonna get a team together and rescue a sailor that I've heard a rumor is on a Russky sub!" 
[11:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
hehe
The movie did have 1 good idea – a practice run on a fake prison camp. So they could have an excuse to double the explosions in the film



[12:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
So I watched Star Trek 2, so I'm caught up with you guys.
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Wrath of Khan?
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yes
[12:37 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Wrath of Khan is probably the best or one of the best Star Trek movies
[1:48 PM] 
Wrath of Khan is a good 'un
Not least-wise because it was the first time Star Trek actually showed detailed battles, and nasty ones at that.
[1:56 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
They did everything that the first movie lacked but that made the show good. More character development... More interactions between the cool characters... An actual villain...
[2:03 PM] 
Yes
And good as it was, watching Space Seed first made it even better.
(Fanboys, 1982) "Awesome!  They brought Khan back!  This is gonna ROCK!"
(Everyone else) "Apparently there's some guy who hates Kirk in it."
(Other everyone else) "Who?"
"The guy from Fantasy Island"
[2:09 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Halfshirt Khan
The Chekov thing throws it off a little since they never met on camera til then but they “knew” each other.
[2:10 PM] 
nod
"I remember you...you were off duty."
[2:11 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I think some fan boys figured out Chekov was on duty on the enterprise in another location when khan was there the first time
but there was no on screen interaction
[2:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ricardo Montalban's impressive-ass chest that people thought was a prosthetic
It's weird that he was in such good shape because he also had a debilitating back injury that left him paralized just 10 years later
During the filming of the film Across the Wide Missouri (1951), Montalbán was thrown from his horse, knocked unconscious, and trampled by another horse.
Injury finally got him.
Was the solution to the pain to just paralyze the guy? That seems F'd up
[2:19 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
He would still have the strong chest
[2:20 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"the good news is you can still bench press"
[2:21 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
He has a very wide chest
I wonder if he was like Stalone and asked to have directors show his chest. Though Stalone asks to show his ass...
[2:24 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[2:24 PM] 
(1951...William Shatner hiding in the bushes with Leonard Nimoy on the set of "Across the Wide Missouri")  "Get ready with the pellet guns...Man I hate this Montalban guy.  I hope we never have to work on a project with him."
(Cedar Sinai Hospital, 1993. Montalban wakens) "So doctor.... how did the surgery go..."
[doctor pulls down surgical mask to reveal Shatner. Nimoy is a nurse] "Just fine.  Just fine."
[2:27 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Montalban slipping into sleep from the anesthesia hears the faint sound of somebody yelling "KHAAAAAAANNNN!"
[2:28 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[2:29 PM] 
hehe
[2:29 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
He branded his dead legs with "REVENGE IS A DISH / BEST SERVED COLD BITCH"
[2:44 PM] 
heh



[10:26 AM] 
Today's earworm is interesting.
Bang Wa Cherry's (a not really existent group) "Chin Chin"
Not sure why I looked it up
memories of "Blade" I guess.
[10:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I remember that
[10:31 AM] 
It has lyrics...not that you can practically understand any of the English words of it in that high-pitched kawaii voice they sing it in.  I've read them though.
:D
[10:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
There's a song in Guardians of the Galaxy that doesn't exist anywhere
not even on the film soudntrack
it's incidental music in the club / brothel
written by Jimmy Urine who has a cameo in the film but not released anywhere
[10:34 AM] 
I remember there was a song, but can't hear it in my head.. 
[10:42 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
other people must've liked it enough that there's a lot of info on it online and people trying to extend it into a full length song from the movie clip



[3:21 PM] 
Oh...forgot.  "Spectral" on Netflix
Kept popping up on "if you can't decide what to watch" type Netflix lists online.
It was definitely fun
[3:23 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
is that the ghosts one
like they are fighting them
[3:23 PM] 
Yes
[3:23 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I watched that
trying to pull out of my memory now
[3:26 PM] 
Its no "Aliens"
Some of the fighting was rather strange
Good plan...the balonium was science-stuff sounding.
But I kinda expected Delta Force to...you know...hit targets.
[3:30 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Fires gun erratically
**RUAAAUAAUAUAUAUAU!**
I GOT ONE!
[3:30 PM] 
"The Delta Force is trained in the latest Stormtrooper Sims DARPA has available."
[3:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Oh no they got half our team! What the hell?
Keep firing!
Oh no there are only 3 of us left! We fired all that ammo at them and nothing happened!
Keep firing!
These weapons are completely ineffective!
Keep firing!
[3:32 PM] 
"How's the budget?"
"Starting to edge higher than expected."
"Hmm.  Kill more guys next scene...less paychecks later on."
