Just finished Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It's fascinating to watch a craftsman at work. The emphasis on perfection, the focus on even the most simple of tasks.

If we're still talking about good 80's movies with sequels that miss the point, I recently saw First Blood (Rambo) for the first time
I enjoyed it. It's the story of a nation that created a killing machine, then punished it when it tried to come home. John was a deeply sympathetic character from start to finish who was far less brutal than the people who hated him.
I'm extremely wary, then, to watch any of the sequels. I could go into why, but this chart perfectly describes my fears:
And even the one kill in First Blood was practically accidental, and was self defense in a life-or-death situation when he was fleeing.

The Rambo series really forgot that the point was to be anti war and violence pretty fast.
Did someone just say "weeaboo"?
'Cause i think i just heard someone say "Weeaboo"...
The guy rolling sushi isn't thinking "I MUST PUT EVERY OUNCE OF MY BEING INTO MAKING THIS DELICIOUS SNACK!" He's thinking "Yup, this is some fish and rice, alright."

Sort of like how Live Free or Die Hard forgot John McClane isn't a superhero.

like I generally think people are best served by expanding their cultural literacy forward and back in time. I try to at least have an idea of what is going on in the landscape even when I don't have time to catch up with it all (I still haven't seen Adventure Time or many other big current shows yet) but I also really like encountering great and interesting things from decades ago, even when those things take some work to appreciate. I think it keeps us nimble and helps us question our unvoiced assumptions.

I was basically picturing a spider mech with a face hanging in the center of an empty frame in the middle.
I have no idea why but in retrospect the image in my head is horrifying. I wish I had artist skills, because it is worth reproducing concretely.
Thanks, you reminded me to change my title.

It would be the best system for doing something like the Wire -- everyone has these personal goals which may overlap but may directly conflict
it and Black Seven are both light with kinda weird details but they would work online in a way that D&D or my beloved FATE just don't.

It wasn't great, though. Afterlife was much better. Though the next one ought to be good.

I liked it, however I haven't seen Afterlife yet.

Yeah, i liked it too, it had good stuff in it, but Afterlife was just much better. you should see it.

I remember that thing
It was strangely charming
I am old and uncool and did not grow up in the magic age group with the Toy Story series but I found Toy Story 3 to be excellently executed
I agree
classic
am I invited to the cool games club
OH to to to!
I watched all three again last year, Toy Story 1 has aged, but not horrifically so.
About as badly as Jurassic Park maybe?
The people have aged horribly, though. Compared to Incredible and Toy Story 3. But everything else is fine I think.

Disagree. A friend of mine had Rambo action figures. They came with a wide assortment of anti-war bazookas and anti-war combat knives!
