I saw Machete friday. Meh

Sorry, but those soldiers in Halo aren't Spartans and never will be. :rolleyes:

Oh, so they aren't apprentice-fucking warriors who would get crushed if they encountered Vikings?

First off, there's no concrete proof backing up the "apprentice-fucking", as you so eloquently put it.

As far as getting "crushed" by Vikings goes, the Spartan army was long gone by the time Viking expansion started. The earliest recorded Viking raids occurred in the late 7th Century AD, whereas Sparta ceased to be an independent power around 800 years earlier when they were forced into the Achaean League in 146 BC after a disastrous defeat by a combined Achaean/Macedonian force.

The final recorded military action by the Spartans was after the Roman defeat at Adrianople in 378 AD when a Spartan phalanx met and defeated a force of raiding Visigoths.

So, no, the Spartans were never crushed by the Vikings.

I stand corrected. They were Pederasts.

How did this turned into a debate about ancient gay Greeks?

I just got reach, my first halo game. What I dont get is how its 500 years in the future, weve colonized planets with magacities, and travel through subspace fast in huge battlecruisers, but the guns are mybe 20 years advanced from now at the most. And the spartan armor that can survive re-entry into the atmosphere but you drownd in water right off.

According to the Halo wiki, the assault rifle and DMR still use 7.62mm NATO.

Well if you were expecting laser guns and blaster rifles, it seems human weapons hasn't changed much or really need to change I guess.

Humans do have the Spartan laser though.

I'm watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I'm not a huge fan of Romantic Comedies, but this one's an exception since it's produced by Judd Apatow.

Behold the mighty Hammyr of Ventura!

Why do I get the Ventura Hammer? What did I do this time?

That's why

What's wrong with Forgetting Sarah Marshall?

I see in the future smaller ammo hitting like todays large ammo, so we could carry more, have larger magazines and still wreck people, and maybe have a optic on the battle rifle. and the ability to swim

Yeah, but some people are hoping for phasers and laser guns. The Spartan Laser is a one shot charge up thing. It isn't an infantry rifle. It's a heavy weapon to take out vehicles.

We only have two laser weapons that I know of in the works. One is the size of a medium machine gun and all it does is blind people. The other has to be mounted on a jumbo jet and disables missiles by burning tiny holes in them. Laser and other energy weapons of the future will not be like in Star Wars.

Just saw The Town. Fucking amazing. I consider it one of Ben Affleck's best performances.

Yes indeed.

For all of the action and the way the plot leads, you have to give Affleck and/or the screenwriters credit for not taking the (overtly) obvious way out at the end. Affleck really stepped up his A-game, here, too. You start to feel for him near the end, especially after his first confrontation with Fergie. Also, I do have to say, I'm glad they didn't follow the book (Prince of Thieves) completely through.

Though now that I am aware that gunshots are very loud that battle at Fenway must have been loud as hell.

I really need to buy this movie:

This is a movie I really need to see:

Another romantic comedy? I need to lend you my copy of the Wild Geese so you can rid yourself of the desire to see romantic comedies

It's not a romantic comedy. It's a black comedy adapted from a book by Chuck Palahniuk (the same guy who wrote Fight Club).

If it looks like a romantic comedy and sounds like a romantic comedy, it is a romantic comedy

Okay, I have seen it, and it's not a romantic comedy.

It's okay, not great. For me, the highlight of the film is the fact that the chick that plays Britta in "Community" is in the film as a stripper. (And you do see the goods.)

The trailer makes it look like a romantic comedy

There are elements of a romantic comedy in there, but I don't think it'd make a great date movie.

Another movie that is even less of a romantic comedy, 500 Days of Summer.

The guy that wrote Choke wrote this:

Choke is a good film. Rockwell's character gets the girl in the end, but no way I would call it a romantic comedy. I mean he shits on himself while in a police station after having a ball stuck up his ass for several days.

I love the stripper's stage name, Cherry Daiquiri.

I thought he coughed it up.

Maybe in the network broadcast version...

And having something that was up your ass come up and out of your mouth is better?

(And I caught it on HBO. So maybe you saw the unrated version.)

When the police were questioning him he did the fake choke. Then the guy did the heimlich on him and he shit himself. I don't remember the ball coming out of his mouth. But it's been a while since I watched it, so maybe it did. The handjob scene was funny too.

Anybody going to buy the Sacrifice DLC for Left 4 Dead when it comes out?

I'm gonna buy this movie this weekend:

Medal of honor coming up? I mean, its kinda a cross of BC2 and MW2, it looks like BC2 without destructible enviroments (all games need destructable environments) but has quick respawn, like MW2, without having to wait around. And you can shoot taliban :)
