I don't want to appear to be picking on Mr. Pierce, but seriously, this is getting weird. Shek Kin - the superevil Han from Enter The Dragon - has died as well.

Try out Chocolate, by the same director. Jeeja Yanin plays an autistic girl trying to get money owed to her mother from various bad guys, and learns her fighting style by watching Tony Jaa movies. The first fight is simple and slow and not that impressive. By the end of the movie, she's taking on dozens of scumbags…

Recent example: John Woo's Red Cliff portrays those old fighting heroes from the Three Kingdoms tales doing all sorts of extrahuman things, like Zhang Fei and his terrifying battle cry. I can dig that stuff and the scrappy realistic fights too. As long as someone is getting kicked in the face, I'm happy.

Drunken Master?
Drunken Master 2.

I always took martial arts movies with wire work to be more about portraying the mythical reputations of old heroic Chinese characters, that they didn't just avoid a kick with a jump, but flew out of the way instead. They're practically superheroes.

Bombs and bowling balls
Maybe the first co-op level is easy with just bombs, but not later ones. Those levels need a bomb to disperse the blocks, but once you've done that, the bombs don't have enough heft to move the bigger blocks, which is where the bowling balls come in.

Oh, and I really liked the ending of Y-The Last Man, though I was very very very very angry at BKV for what he did to 355 in the previous issue. I love him and his writing, but if I ever meet him, I'm throwing my daiquiri in his face before running away crying. That shit was out of line.

@Shiels, thanks for that.

TomWaits For Snowman, thank you for justifying my enormous wordgasm. It kinda got away from me. Bear in mind, I'm one of those rare people who didn't mind the focus on the Love Quadrangle in The Incident. I have a ton of reasons that are not completely thought out yet, so if pressed I'll just go, "Errrrrm, Juliet is…

@Schiels, obviously this is going to be a discussion that is based around wildly different interpretations of the show caused by differing viewpoints and expectations, but the characters in Lost are still being built. Layers are being added even now. I'd argue that season five was more about character than mythology,…

"Did you see that moment of slight ambiguity on Ben's face? Oh my God!" I'm superlucky my wife loves Lost almost as much as I do. It takes about 90 minutes to watch each episode, what with all the rewinding and WTFing. Sorry, WorthyFuckingAdversary.

Holy shit, that didn't seem that long in the little window. Sorry folks.

"God is not necessarily playing by anyone's rules but his own in the BSG 'verse, and that makes him a character in his own right, particularly when going back through the series."

Plus, the show is about a bunch of people whose lives are linked without them knowing it, getting on a plane which then crashes, bringing them all together. The show could have been called Everything That Rises Must Converge, though perhaps it would have been a little on the nose.

Because far too many people kept saying that the show was bound to go nowhere, and they seemed to know what they were talking about, but were horribly wrong (I hope)? Netflix it, stat.

alurin, this is the BSG Daybreak thread all over again. I got your back, buddy.

And, fingers crossed, another season of In Treatment. If they pony up a bit of extra cash to pay for a longer shooting schedule so no one dies trying to film every episode in two days with no rehearsals.

I watched the whole thing in one long glorious burst, and there was zero slack. Perhaps week to week it might have felt like that, but watching it as one very long and brilliant film was like taking speed.

There would have been one way to make "God did it" not be a problem. Give God a motivation. Make "God" a character. Explain why God does the things it does.

Losing Lost will break my heart, but it has introduced me to a lot of fascinating mythology (real world, not in-show), convinced me to read some great books, and generated some amazing debates (both online and real world). For that, and for making me care about some of the most intricately detailed characters in…
