The Museum Of Modern Thinking

Right, this is obviously a sequel to Undisputed 2 (a sequel in itself) which starred Michael Jai White as the good guy (see him in Black Dynamite soon) and Scott Adkins (see him in, er, Undisputed 3 and Ninja) as his rival. Undisputed 2 was set in a prison, and seeing as Scott’s character Boyka did not make it out of prison, he’s still there, but fighting in a world prison fighting league championship sort of thing. Frankly, the combat side of martial arts is all about besting someone in combat, so all these films that have tournaments as the main driver of the plot – well, that’s why.

Anyhoo, here’s the trailer:

I really enjoyed the first film (er, 2nd), and have been to a couple of Scott’s power kicking seminars. Despite looking exceptionally mean in this film (he’s the guy show gets angry at the end), he is a great guy, very friendly and full of great advice. He also kicks like a freakin’ mule :s

The cast is also well-rounded, with a chap called Marko Zorar playing the bad guy this time, and Lateef Crowder, a capoeira practitioner last seen by me fighting Tony Jaa in Warrior King (aka Tom Yum Goong), and soon to be seen in the new Tekken film.

Not the official trailer, not yet, for Sylvester Stallone’s take on 80s action movies – The Expendables. It has a ma-hoo-sive cast – Sly, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren (!), TERRY CREWS, Steve Austin, etc.

Some has said it looks a bit cheesy, but that might be intentional; I watched enough buddy-buddy 80s movies growing up to have an affection for the genre – Tango and Cash, anyone?

Anyway, here’s the trailer, looks like good, popcorn entertainment:

H/T to GeekPadShow’s 50 Things You Need To See On The Internet Before You Die

I’ve never seen so many people living in a bubble. On the same day Gordon was spouting off Labour’s achievements with the passion he reserves for tractor statisics, the police were doing a piss-poor job of apologising for not helping a mother and her daughter (who both committed suicide) after years of harassment by the very yobs Labour have helped breed. I note that that Gordon did not mention the £800 BILLION debt he’s saddled us with, which wll take YEARS to clear.

The Labour Party is truly through the looking glass: political interviewers will state clearly what ills face Britain, and then the Labour party stooge will swear blind that it’s not true, it isn’t happening, when clearly it is, e.g. “24-hour drinking was been a complete disaster”, “no it hasn’t”. Why aren’t the interviewers calling them out on it? The line about 500,000 children lifted out of poverty is bogus but no-one pushes them for facts.

As for all the wonderful new ideas (stronger ASBOs, gulags for slags, care homes), either: 1) why haven’t you done it before or 2) where’s the money coming from, we’re broke?

Here’s my take: cut welfare massively (I’m even fine with losing child support), stop making the poor breed kids they don’t love just for child allowance, only give child allowance for the first two children, stop all the public sector pension disparity, review council salaries, cut down the Whitehall staff (I notice Andy “guyliner” Burnham was going on about Gershon-style “efficiency” drives – again, you’ve been in twelve years, why haven’t you done it?)… There’s loads more I could suggest, but it’s slightly to the right of Ghengis Khan

Anyway, Labour losing the support of The Sun is excellent news and has annoyed Gordon no end, which is good. There’s also rumours about that say Labour may cease to be a political force after the next election as they’re broke, out of money, choked – especially if their paymasters, the unions, withdraw their support. That said, I wouldn’t want the propping up the Conservatives and expecting things in return as no doubt they would.

Anyway, nice to see Gordon looking so happy:
