"Top Shot" is a pretty cool tv show. Watching people shoot bullets to make some difficult shots is awesome. This feels very strange for me because I'm not very particular on guns themselves.
But that said - trick shooting is awesome.
Shooting pipes off of a mannequin's mouth - pretty damn cool.
Shooting a bullet at an ax-head to split the bullet and hit two different balloons. - awesome.
SHooting two guns at the same time to shoot targets that are next to each other -Double awesome
Shooting two guns at the same time to shoot targets that are very far from each other - TRIPLE AWESOME
Edit: they just topped themselves for more awesome
The elimination challenge is hanging upside down and shooting at bottles 50 feet away.

You might like this video, then.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDoQwIAaXg
Videos at 1 million frames per second of bullets hitting various things. It's really rather awesome-looking. Plus, at those speeds and forces, metal often behaves like liquid.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Pretty much the entirety of Sucker Punch. But especially any time the Wise Man (Scott Glenn) was on screen.

I'm kinda iffy about Sucker Punch because of Zach Snyder. "300" wasn't my cup of tea and while "Watchmen" was ok, it wasn't great. I"m just not fond of that level of violence. Well, that's not true. I'm a fan of Robert Rodriguez and his splatterpunk violence style in his non-kid movies.
But, that could also be because Rodriguez doesn't seem take himself seriously with his plots.
So Is "Sucker punch" similar to "300" in violence and it's depiction or just another "Grindhouse-ey" flick?

If Sucker Punch is comparable to anything, it's anime, to be honest. Hell, I'm trying remember how much blood was actually spilled, and it's very little. Most of the battles are in day dreams, where the opponents aren't things that bleed, really. Steam-borg Nazi Zombies, mech-gunmen, giant robot samurai, that kind of stuff. Lots of fancy combat, just not much blood. All hyper stylized, as it's all happening in the head of a disturbed girl. When it does happen in the real world, or the first level of day dream (yes, there are two levels...) it's fairly realistic.

Awesome animation on that short film there.
But the random cruelty is a little too high.

Well, SpyKids 1 was pretty good. 3 suffered horribly from the lack of Alexa Vega. 2 was, by far, the best though.

I saw a preview for that when I watched Red Riding Hood, and it looked awesome! Sadly, Red Riding Hood was entertaining, but otherwise was nothing to write home about.

The moment I saw "from the makers of Twilight" I figured Red Riding Hood was not going to be good.

I saw a review that was basically saying it's the anti twilight. Werewolves that actually murder people, and the thinly disguised sex metaphor is replaced with actual sex (but not really because it's PG 13) and the moral of the story is "Sex is awesome, go have some."
Basically, "Everyone who didn't watch twilight can then watch this instead." was the pitch to the producers.

That is the most genius movie pitch I've ever heard.

I've been trying to reread Hellblazer. I think I'll read up to issue 150ish and stop. It kinda went to tripe after that.
But issue 5 by Jamie Delano is one of the main reasons I fell in love with Hellblazer.
It tells the story of a town's boys who were all part of the same platoon in Vietnam. THey never came back. Constantine ends up as an observer in the town by accident and watches as some sort of pyramid prayer scheme that promised to bring the boys back home backfires. They come home but they mistake their town for a Vietnam village.
You see Constantine as an observer and someone who isn't the bravest of people. He says many a time that he could have helped but he probably couldn't do anything. It's the sort of antihero that we normally don't see in our fiction.

A good cure for depression.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I hadn't seen one that did that kind of semi-relevant phrases in a post which could fool you for a split-second if you were just glancing.
Side note, I found out that that "Men Are Better Than Women" guy was shilling for a book with the same title. Evidently some raging fuckhead decided it'd be hilarious to write a book on the subject.
