Remember kids, the internet loves you. Even though sometimes it touches you in the bad place.

It's funny that you're more freaked out by that than by his claim that he and Gibson were responsible for the deaths of over 800 innocent civilians.

freaked out? I was excited. That's possibly the sexiest fight scene I've ever read. Not nearly enough books in fight scenes you know.

Just thought I'd give this a bump for those who missed it the first time 'round. Hit Page 1...

Well, if you don't count the (multiple) total destructions of the library in 'Hero'...

HOLY *beep* <-insert own expletive

I feel warm and fuzzy all over Smile

Lithos even added more flavour to savour.

Gah! It's been so long since I've felt this way.

I wonder what Sterling is thinking about right about now...

Ahh.... In the Name of the Rose... good flick. Lots of fire in that scene, but I don't recall any fighting- however, it HAS been the better part of a decade since I last saw that movie.

Thanks for bumping this thread, HTTF. I HAD missed it before, but I am overjoyed to see it this time around. Very fun.

The only thing better is the bootleg video tape I have of the battles. The stuff you can find on the Internet is amazing. Amazing, I tell you!




Imagine: A thousand Buddhist eyes staring at you from across a rice-paddy field, the zeal and hunger in their eyes. And one lifts his fist high in the air, raising the battlecry, "EMBRACE THE TAO!!!!" Then organized chaos ensues.

And thanks for bumping this, HTTF.

I really, really wish I could remember the offhanded remark Mr. Gibson make about this last time he read in NYC.

It was much wittier than this post.
