Drowned

I forgot to mention it, but a guy insisted we needed to “expand our anime section” at the video store, while handing me a hentai video tape. So I asked “with what? more hentai?” to which he replied “ABSOLUTELY!!” I can’t really communicate how this guy talked, but imagine the worst game show host voice ever coming out of a guy who looks like…16 tops.
Anyway, more importantly the UMD fireworks were canceled on account of TERRORIST RAINSTORM 2K4. So I just watched Bruce Lee: His Last Days, His Last Nights on cable. At the end a man said “Bruce Lee is a superstar and you should respect his name!” No Brucesploitation movie ever has had the balls to tell other Brucesploitation movies to respect the real Bruce. They’ve had him jump out of his grave and do a million badly edited fight scenes, but NEVER have they told people to respect the man while actively shaming him. You go China.
Addendum: How could I forget the “most patriotic event of the year.” Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was held today, and Takeru Kobayashi won for the 4th year in a row by eating 53 hot-dogs in 12 minutes. Clearly this makes him America’s greatest hero and a far greater patriot than even Captain America or She-Hulk.
