So bad it's ...good?

What do you get when you combine
the agility of gymnastics
and the awesome power of karate?
You get GYMKATA!!!
I watched this movie the other day
and honestly it is perhaps the worst film
I have ever seen.
The plot, script, acting, sets & costumes are all terrible.
But that's what makes it so great.
I really enjoyed it.
It is bad but in a good way,
you know good-bad.
If it was just a little bit bad it would just be boring,
but because it is SO bad, it's funny.

You can watch the whole movie on Youtube
Just follow the link below
GYMKATA part 1

Well done!

Too much pun

Do you get it?

Sleepy meerkats are sleepy

I watched the first few episodes of the
BBC documentary series "LIFE" over the weekend.
My favorite part was the sleepy meerkats.

What's the diff?

You may have heard the words typhoon,

cyclone and hurricane used to refer to bad storms.
So what's the difference?
Well first of all they are all cyclones,
typhoon and hurricane are simply local terms
used to refer to cyclones that originate in Asia and the Americas.

Arrr!

In the spirit of "international talk like a pirate day"
here is a list of good "pirate" themed movies.
(Not including "Pirates of the Caribbean")

#5 Hook
Peter Pan has grown up
and returns to never land to fight his old foe.
Not your traditional Peter Pan story but good fun.

#4 Master & Commander
I hate Russel Crow but I love this time period.
Iron men in wooden ships fight for control of the new world.
More swashbuckler than pirate I suppose.

#3 Muppet Treasure Island
As the name says it's "Treasure Island" Muppets style,
and the Muppets movies are always hilarious.

#2 The Princess Bride
Not really a "Pirate" movie I guess,
but the main character is "The Dread Pirate Roberts"
so I can put it on the list.
One of my favorite movies when I was a kid.
"My name is Inigo Montoya,
you killed my father,
prepare to die."

#1 The Goonies
No pirates in this movie, but a lot of pirate treasure.
Watched it again recently,
didn't remember it had so much swearing in it.
Kids movies were not so uptight in the 80's.

Storm the walls!

How well do you know your castles?
Can anyone tell me where this is?
