573 - "Some Venoms", Action Hamlet, Poor Covers, and We've Been Doing This So Long That Mr. Blue Got Old

[9:35 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
So on the subject of the interpretation of that 5 Venoms movie
They all had an animal and a number
like 1 2 3 4
there are 5 of them
Then the last student...at the end of the film he called himself number 4 .
Um no. You're number 6
lol
[9:36 AM] 
...So it was 6 Venoms
Counting the Master...7
[9:36 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Well the one was taught a little of all the others
[9:37 AM] 
Ah
"First I trained 1...and then 2.  3 followed.  Then I decided to train 4 with everything but he was useless and is doomed if there's ever a plot against the school.  Then came 5.  And finally 6.  So.  Five Venoms."
[9:39 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Technically there would have been 8
The first master
Then the master
Then 5 animal styles with venom
lol
[9:39 AM] 
"This Summer!  Come see the action-packed new martial arts film - "Some Venoms"!"
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"An Indeterminate Number of Venoms"
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I want to see Jellyfish style
[9:40 AM] 
A warrior who just kinda hangs there limp and drifts with the ambient breezes til someone touches him.
"We need to kill them all and make it look like accidents so we can steal the candle that says 'does not contain treasure map' on it."
"How many are there?"
"Some."
"How many though?"
"Several."
[9:42 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
And now you shall see my greatest accomplishment: PLATYPUS STYLE!
Sea Cucumber style
[9:42 AM] 
"Shrew KATA!"
(which would be horrifying and I'm putting that in a game)
You get a sonic blast, poison bite, and a tendency to take bites out of/eat your opponents
Shrews are weird...
I didn't know this one til just now...
Rodent incisors grow throughout their lives... ALL the teeth in a shrew do it.  
They have one set and they grow til they die
[9:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Some are venomous?
[9:52 AM] 
yes
"For a Few Venoms More"
"Fistful of Venoms" 
(that last isn't bad)

 

[3:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Liam Neeson is playing a snowplow driver out for revenge and the movie is titled "Hard Powder"
It sounds like one of the fake trailers from Tropic Thunder
[3:03 PM] 
"I have a very particular set of skills...and a season in which I can use them..."
[3:05 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I wish they had made the Arnold “Hamlet” movie
[3:06 PM] 
heh
[3:06 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
You killed my fahduh... BIG mistake.”
[3:06 PM] 
Too bee ohah nod too bee...
(blam!)  "Not too bee..."
[3:07 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
They should've just made that instead of Last Action Hero
[3:07 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Everything but the guns is Elizabethan
[3:08 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
And the language
And the cigar and zippo
[3:08 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yes
A movie like that would be cool
[3:08 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Everyone *else* is correct for the time period except Arnold
[3:08 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[3:10 PM] 
Arnold as a brooding Dane
Alass pour Yawk Ah noo hem well”
[3:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
He randomly switches between traditional sword fighting and uzis and desert eagles without explanation
To sleep, perchance to dream...” [snaps a guy's neck]
[3:15 PM] 
Which is not tomb enough and continent to hide the slain?  O, from this time forth my thoughts be bloody.  And if they bleed, we can kill them.”
[3:18 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heheh
To come back or not to come back, that is the question”
[3:28 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
There is nothing either good or bad, but you are hasta la vista.”
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than you. And you are one ugly motherf***r!”
This above all: come with me if you want to live”
[3:45 PM] 
heh
[3:45 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
[terminator going door to door] "I'm a friend of Claudius, I was told he was heyuh, could I see him please?"
[3:47 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Listen to many, speak to a few, get to the choppa”



[12:26 PM] 
OK...”Africa” - been getting a lot of play recently, maybe because Weird Al jammed with Weezer on it. 
One fan thing was a theory it was about a werewolf seeking a cure.  Quite amusing.
The other was I happened on a song facts thing and it points out that it rather confuses people who know Africa due to the line:
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti”
Because you can't see either place from the other
There...done with "Africa"...
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I don't understand the popularity of the Weezer cover
It's identical to the Toto version but worse
[12:37 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I see the rains down in Africa”
[12:37 PM] 
bless
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That is apparently a commonly messed up lyric
I see its bless now
[12:40 PM] 
Yes...the Weezer version isn't as good.
Lacks passion, perhaps
[12:41 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
But it's almost identical
They didn't do anything different
[12:41 PM] 
Stefani's "It's My Life" suffers from the same.
[12:41 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
True Colors”
Anybody but Lauper
[12:42 PM] 
Heh
Yeah...all the world can't really imitate Lauper in anything.  Her voice is too...her.
[12:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I like both versions of "I Think We're Alone Now"
The old 60s ballad and the 80s mall anthem
[12:42 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The Phil Collins version of True Colors is ok.
He makes it his own
When people try to imitate it sounds bad
[12:43 PM] 
(Listens as editing post many months later – Doesn't even sound like Phil and is horrific – Mr. Silver)
His "Can't Hurry Love" is better than the original IMO
[12:43 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Starfucker has a good cover of Girls Just Want to Have Fun
There's a Japanese minimalist that did Video Killed the Radio Star.
I think it's better
Just him and like a mandolin
[12:44 PM] 
Really?  Have to look that up...one of my "Gods and Goddesses" songs
(Listens months ago after assertion – also horrific – Mr. Silver)
[12:44 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Shugo Tokumaru
"video killed the ladio staw"
[12:44 PM] 
LOL
[12:44 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I would like to see somebody cover “I believe in a thing called love” by the darkness
[12:45 PM] 
As long as we're getting weird, Kirsten Dunst's Turning Japanese
[12:46 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yes
seen that
lol
[12:50 PM] 
Asteroids Galaxy Tour did "Safety Dance" better. 
Of course I never really got into the original except to filk the lyrics.
[12:52 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
did i link you to Queen doing an old Hungarian folk song live in Budapest?  It was good
[12:53 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
any time i hear Safety Dance i think of Bio Dome and have a flash of Time Bandits
[12:53 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
[12:59 PM] 
Nope (keeps)
[12:59 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
looks like he is reading off his hand
[1:09 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
[1:10 PM] 
Oh...and Pet Shop Boys killed Elvis's version of "You Were Always On My Mind".  Probably because they didn't want to do an Elvis cover at all so they messed it up as much as they could



[2:55 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I have what feels like growing pains in my leg
I haven't felt that since i was... growing
[3:02 PM] 
Welcome to age
[3:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
You basically have like 5 years where you're not waiting to be older or wishing you were younger
I never imagined being on the other side of that period
It sucks
