In Seattle, my friend ordered a Domino's cheese pizza and it cost $20 delivered. That's daylight robbery, I tell's ya!


Over here a giant size super supreme from Pizza Hut costs about 10 dollars.

Anyone here been to Italy? Ypu haven't had pizza till you've had a real Italian pizza.


I am from São Paulo, which is a city with a huge italian immigrant population, and we have traditional italian pizza places which are as good as the ones in Italy. Apart from the fast-food-ish Pizza Hut, I cannot eat pizza anywhere in Brazil except São Paulo, the pizza is terrible out of there.

Gotta board more planes, again, next week. Hopefully there won't be any snakes on it. Or Samuel L Jackson. It should be horrible sitting next to Samuel L Jackson on a plane, because you KNOW you'll want to quote Pulp Fiction.

* After 1 hour of silence, sitting next to Sam L Jackson on the plane; this is said without looking at each other *

"So! Uh... do you know how they call quarter pound with cheese in France?"
"Don't start that shit."
"OK."

Exactly. This movie was NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A PARODY. It was NOT supposed to be a self-deprecating fun movie. Originally, it was supposed to be a bad action flick. It was supposed to be like Cellular, a BAD, BAD B-movie with a somewhat known cast, but meant to be crap. It was supposed to bomb at the box office and then make some profit from DVDs.

But suddenly, due to the ridiculous working title that leaked, a hype has been created around this movie, in order to make fun of it. It was an internet fad like all others. And the studio saw the oportunity to promote this film due to it's stupidity, using this hype - WHICH, I belive, COULD have been fabricated. This could all be a huge PLANT to generate such a hype.

So now we will have a precedent. Just because Hollywood has produced nothing but moronic crap for the past 20 years, with very few exceptions, it dosen't mean it should keep doing it. But now they've seen how stupid we are to praise that movie. I have nothing against making fun of it, but it's sad because now the studios will have a precedent: "Oh we made that piece of crap called Snakes on a Plane and the audience loved it! All we needed is the internet and a 5 day reshoot based on it!"

This whole thing reminds me of the producer on "Ed Wood":

"I don't produce films, I produce crap!" - "Is there a script?" - "Hell no! But... there's a poster!"

And you know what the sad part is? "Snakes on a Plane" is going to be on the top 5 movie hits for this year, because of all the hype around it. And what was supposed to be a forgeatable, bombing B-rate movie, is now going to give precedence to the studios. It is OK to produce crap, the audience buys it. Other studios will try to come up with other fabricated cult movies, and we will be filled with crappy action flicks. Good cinema is officially dead the moment Sam L Jackson says "There are muthaf**ing snakes on the plane!" and the whole audience cheers.

Correction, what MOST Americans know as "The Legend of Drunken Master" is "Drunken Master II". Drunken Master is just Drunken Master. Ever seen the spin-off Dance of the Drunk Mantis? And believe me, I'd rather own the uncut in Cantonese version preferrably in Anamorphic widescreen-you-ass-because-non-anamorphic-sucks-ass.
How about the Once Upon a Time in China series? Also of course from the original Cantonese/non-dubbed Jet Li Trilogy and the sixth film, Once Upon a Time in China and America. The legendary adventures of Wong Fei-Hung. Wasn't there also a Spartan X comic book series in the late 1990's?


I see. Sorry.

A comic book about Wong Fei Hung would be cool, but I don't really belive that would translate itself to comic books so well. Come to think of it, historical Hong Kong flicks wouldn't be so good as present-dated movies. How about Jet Li's "Black Mask", the movie was absolutely rubish, but that would be a one cool comic book hero...

There's a Drunken Master 2?! Hot-damn, I've gotta see it! Is it better than the first one?

Yeah, Edward Scissorhands would be pretty cool.


What you americans know as "Drunken Master" is actually "Drunken Master 2". The first one was made in 1978.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!"

Speak on binary? You mean, like, ASCII? Like, HI being 72 73, or 01001000 01001001?

I'm surprised on how many here know some portuguese...
