Mizzou vs Vandy

I'm torn because both teams are among my favorites.

EDIT: looks like Vandy is going to win. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Vanderbilt because for the 5 years I lived in middle Tennessee back in the 80s, Vandy's college radio station was my main listening source. And every spring they had a free concert on their campus featuring up and coming bands like Jason and the Scorchers, Swimming Pool Qs and Georgia Satellites.

Plus the best pizza I've ever had was from a hole-in-the-wall dive just off-campus called "Obie's"

"Miami Connection" (1987) - it's martial arts mayhem when the members of Dragon Sound, a terrible synth rock band who also happen to be tae kwon do masters, battle it out with street gangsters and a troop of motorcycle riding, drug dealing ninjas. I swear I am not making this up. Terrible acting, poorly edited fight scenes, Mullets, and hilariously awful songs ("Against the Ninja!") ensue.

This long forgotten Z movie was rediscovered by the cult flick specialists at Alamo Drafthouse, who bought a theatrical print on eBay and loved it so much that they tracked down producer/director Y.K. Kim and got his permission to re-release it.
The movie is so awful that it almost becomes awesome, in a severe car accident kind of way.

If you're not already sold, you will be once you check out Dragon Sound's shoulda-been-a-hit single, "Against the Ninja!" (This band sings about Martial Arts with the same fervor that Stryper sings about God. )

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)



This is Scorsese in playfully over-the-top mode, dropping in every cinematic trick in his considerable arsenal to tell this rags-to-riches-to-deep-shit story of Wall Street hustler Jordan Belfort. The film kind of plays like Goodfellas directed by Judd Apatow, if Seth Rogen walked onscreen at some point it wouldn't feel surprising. 3 hours of copious sex, drug use and general insanity makes for quite the fun ride, it is so quickly paced it never gets boring and you won't notice the running time. The film has stirred up a bit of controversy with all the excess and it does push the R-rating about as far as you possibly can, but I didn't find any of it offensive (though seeing Jonah Hill's erect member is an image I could have lived without). If seeing Leonardo DiCaprio snort blow out of a hooker's asshole sounds offensive to you then I'd probably skip it.

If you approach the film like a raucous black comedy you'll love it. If you're looking for the depth of storytelling from Scorsese's earlier work you'll probably be disappointed, this film stays firmly on the surface and never really digs any deeper. Marty makes no judgements about the behavior of these characters, he just presents the insanity and lets the viewer make up their own mind.

I read that it now holds the current record for F-bombs dropped in a mainstream film with 569, beating the old record set by 'Summer of Sam' with 435. Holy F**K!!

2013 was interesting year for movies, the two absolute funniest films I saw were American Hustle and The Wolf Of Wall Street and neither of them are technically comedies.

Amazing movie! I watched this back in the summer with the wife. It's quite possibly the best movie ever made about rock bands/taekwondo practitioner/college students fighting ninjas.

I'm still trying to decide which was funnier: Y.K. Kim's attempts at "acting"/speaking English (seriously, Jackie Chan sounds like Laurence Olivier compared to this guy), or his bug-eyed "O-face" expressions during all of the martial arts fight scenes.

The answer is...yes.    

How about the one guy's "dad" that was just a young guy with talc in his hair to make it look white?  That was an amazing affect!  Tom Savini better watch out!

"My mother was Korean and my father was a Black American!"

I found it a little odd/creepy that the "Dragon Sound" guys, in addition to being bandmates, all lived together in the same house (where they were frequently shirtless), and also all went to the same college and traveled around everywhere together in the same convertible.  There's a little TOO much togetherness there!!

...it made me wonder why that chick singer wanted to hook up with one of the band members, if you catch my drift.
