a gathering when? - Drunk Monk - 07-23-2007

I'm pretty booked until October....

Yo Yo Cop Girl sucked. I reviewed it elsewhere here: http://brotherhoodofdoom.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=825

Here's the Reuter's review on Dynamite Warrior - looks like it might still have potential:

Quote:"Warrior" weds martial-arts mayhem to laughable plot
Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:43PM EDT
By Frank Scheck

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - A Thai chop-socky Western featuring wall-to-wall fight scenes of the particularly painful-looking Muay Thai variety, "Dynamite Warrior" has enough action to satisfy even the most demanding martial arts buff.

Typically lacking in coherence and credibility, this genre effort, directed and edited by Chalerm Wongpim, is being given a stateside theatrical release but will find its true home in video stores alongside such predecessors as "Tears of the Black Tiger" and "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior."

Dan Chupong stars as the titular figure, a good guy named Jone Bang Fai who specializes in retrieving water buffalo that have been stolen by bandits and returning them to their rightful owners. He's looking in particular for the rustler who killed his family years earlier, identifiable by the raised tattoo on his chest.

Opposing Jone is Lord Wang (Leo Putt), who wants to get rid of the water buffalo so he can fulfill his evil plan to replace them with, uh, expensive tractors. His henchmen include the Black Wizard and a cannibalistic ex-con, but what really makes him distinctive is his vulnerability to, uh, menstrual blood.

Of course, the laughable plot and characters are merely an excuse for the constant battles, which in this case have an added twist: The hero also is an explosives expert, so he frequently propels himself into action by riding on what are essentially giant firecrackers.

Not all of the fight sequences, which include overly heavy doses of slow-motion, are entirely effective. And the nonstop barrage ultimately proves more wearisome than exciting. But none of these quibbles is likely to detract fans of the genre from becoming excited about this latest giddy exercise in martial-arts mayhem.

Sounds like it has everything we want!


The preview looks good - Drunk Monk - 07-24-2007

And I've been enjoying everything that has come from this Thai group of filmmakers to some degree, even Spirited Killer (remember http://brotherhoodofdoom.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=540?) Rittikrai has some 50-70 films under his belt and they can't all be DOOM quality. I'll preview this one soon and let y'all know.

The Today Show - Drunk Monk - 08-08-2007

The Shaolin segment I mentioned earlier on this thread was finally aired yesterday. I was cut.

Go to the Today Show site and click the 'next' button a dozen plus times to see it. It's short and uninteresting, except for the fact that they spent a lot of money to film me to be in it and never used that footage.

Maybe I should start a thread "stuff that DM was cut out of".... Cry


How about the short version? - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 08-08-2007

Stuff you are actually in. . . . .


A Dream Realized!! - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 10-29-2007

I'm working for Clint!

I'll never meet him. I'll never see him. I'm going to another show Wednesday. But for two whole ten hour days, the blueprints state Produced/ Directted by Clint Eastwood. From now on I'll always be able to say I worked for Clint Eastwood. It's called "The Changeling". Look for it in theaters.


Halloween Honors!!! - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 10-31-2007

I win. I don't know what you all built for Halloween at work, but I built a gallows! Thirteen steps to the platform and all.

I'm still on the Clint Movie. He's going to drop by any day to say Hi!


i turned down an interview with jcvd - Drunk Monk - 01-24-2008

van damme. his press agent contacted me about his spectacular new direct to dvd film. i passed it along to one of our freelancers, who is taking it on just for laughs. it would have been a phoner anyway.

that's the 2nd celeb interview i've turned down: seagal and jcvd.


Idiot! - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 01-24-2008

You should have brought them both in for a celebrity death match without all that Frickin Clay. Dammit.

Jonathan Livingston Segal would kick that Belgian Waffle's sculpted ass.


Las Vegas, Baby! - El Dingo - 04-06-2008

Hi All,

As a joke I sent my manager and director a link to the announcement of an event in Las Vegas. This was an annual conference for an application I use at work (Altiris).

They decided it would be a good idea for us all to go.

Next week I'll e in Vegas for 4 days. They are putting us up at the Mirage hotel and boy, is Dee Dee pissed.

I'm not as excited. I'm enrolled in 15 classes that last from 10am TO 5:30pm. I will be too tired to have fun.

Work is weird.

El Dingo

LV. I hates it, but I have had to go there for work a few times. Things to do in Vegas when you are not dead:

The Gun Store: Indoor firing range and you can rent anything from a .22 to a full-auto Thompson sub-machine gun and most things in between. Good, loud fun.

The Freakin' Frog: Bar by UNLV. Downstairs, mega beer selection. Upstairs, whisky, whisky, whisky. and cigars.

The Crown and Anchor: As close to a British Pub as you can find in these here United States. With poker-machines. Next to UNLV. Open very late

Coffee drinker? It is chains only, but Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are there, as is Il Fornaio, so at least you can get a good cuppa.

Have fun!


Better digs - The Queen - 04-08-2008

At least you're at the Mirage -- last time I was there, my company stuck me downtown at the Golden Nugget. Bleah!

My job's not so bad. It sent me to Manila via Japan last week. Or was it the week before? I'm still trying to wrap my head around Manila. And Japan, too, to be honest.

One of my students is on the Philippine team and they had a qualifying tournament for the team members to see who would go on to the Olympic qualifier in Thailand. My girl, despite having the most international points, did not do well.

Great people in the Philippines; real friendly. Good food, too.

Japan was a lay-over that I stretched to 36 hours. Took the train into Shibuya that evening took the train back into the Imperial Palace the next morning and flew out that evening. Good food, nice folks. I definitely need to head back to Japan and get out of Tokyo into the countryside.

No ninjas, though. No pirates, either. Not even a Godzilla sighting.
