Dragon Wars (D-War)
biggest piece of shit ever.  went to see it cuz me and my younger brother were bored, and i figured the CGI might be cool to look at.  CGI was good, movie was so terribly bad it was past laughable.

I think you mis-spelled "Eragon"  ;D

Nope but I have fractured ankles and wrecked my shoulder at different times.

Slightly modifying Poppydragon's skipped question:
Mountains, Oceans, Swamps, Forests or Plains?


Ninja.  Pirates are very bad people, and I can't understand why they're so romanticized.
And ninjas are noble, friendly good guys?

Nice lake in the mountains.

Which would you rather receive from an old, long-lost friend: quicky email or an old-fashioned letter (probably written with a fountain pen)?

Depends on what edition you're playing.  I quit after they incorporated phasing.  No question, see post above me.  I couldn't let this one slide.

They were just soldiers doing their job for their shogun

Plus they're Japanese, and that counts for a lot in my book.

Actually, I'd like to point out that for the bulk of their existence, ninjas - or at least, the peasant farming communities from which they sprung - were actually fighting AGAINST the Japanese government. Combating corruption and oppression the only way poor isolated people could: with guerilla warfare and theatrics.

Okay, so they were freedom fighters -- even better. 

Pirates are just thieves, rapists, and murderers.  Nothing noble about that.

Haven't seen Four Brothers nor Payback.  And while Payback is based on the Richard Stark (Donald Westlake) novel The Hunter (AKA Point Blank), and thusly I'd be inclined to favor it, I've heard it's very sucky and that the movie Point Blank* is better.  Pass.

*the 1967 film with Lee Marvin, not the 1998 Mickey Rourke film that just happens to have the same title.

Wow that's the first I have heard someone say Payback is sucky.  It tens to get listed in the quintessential guy movies along with movies like Fight Club.

No question got asked, so I'm picking up the fumbled ball:

What's you favourite Saturday morning activity?

Nice catch, I stopped at 6th edition - had a nice red/black deck back then.

Freedom fighters? Won't argue an area I don't know well, so assuming the origin is true, the end result still sems to make the arguemaent that Star Wars Storm Trooper are ok because the Clone troopers started of on the side of the Republic.  I think real life pirates are awful too, but that doesn't make ninjas good guys.

While this is probably true of most pirates in most parts of the world at most periods of history, as a sweeping statement it is as over-generalizing any any statement about ninjas might be. Were Elizabethan privateers the same as a boatload of escaped slaves in the Caribbean or as the dispossessed fisherman taking something back from the military/economic powers that made their traditional waters innavigable or as the boat-people whom no one will treat with exacting a "tax" on local trade or as Cornish smugglers and wreckers making a bit on the side or as the gangsters holding aid transports to ransom in the Indian Ocean? You might (and arguably should) condemn each of these groups individually for various reasons, but grouping them all into a single category is unhelpful. (Especially since most people were talking about the jolly, semi-comic figures of Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean, which is basically a fictional stereotype.)

Back to the interview:

I have a soft spot for wolves, but maybe they remind me too much of dogs (disqualified because they're pets). Raccoons, then. Not domesticated, not safe, not clean. But still cute. Little bandit-mask faces and stripey tails.

What was the most creative thing you ever did as a child?

Have you ever listened to an 8-track tape?

Yes!  I used to have a 2XL as a kid, and later on found an 8-track of The Cars' Candy-O album that I sometimes played.



Star Wars or The Fifth Element?

The 5th Element!

(My first car, a 1974 F150 pickup, had an 8 track player in it.  We used to ride around at 90 mph listening to Kiss)

Monty Python or Benny Hill?
