Scott Pilgrim ruled, Inception was NOT complicated, and The Expendables didn't need a plot with all those action stars in 1 movie

Guro and I had Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training at 10:30AM. Drills:
  • Double stick sinawali (weaving).
  • Countering a backfist #1: backhand parry into smack across the neck into backfist to the neck (all with same hand).
  • Countering a backfist #2: Backhand parry into smack across the neck into elbow-strike (with other arm) into pushing the forehead down to knee-strike the back of the head.
  • Countering a backfist #3: Same as above, but pushing the forehead down to (instead of the knee-strike) slip other arm underneath to cradle the head, step in, takedown, and armbar with shin across the face.
  • Countering a backfist #4: Backhand parry into smack across the neck into elbow-strike (with other arm), smacking hand maintains chin control while stepping around like a Samba turn to reverse cradle the head, and either 1) smash the head down onto knee or 2) step in and takedown.


Then went to the AMC in Burbank to watch Scott Pilgrim vs. the World at 4:10PM, snuck into Inception at 6:50PM, and The Expendables at 9:10PM. The Expendables ended up starting at around 10:00PM as screen projectionists must've really been sleeping on the job. I was sitting next to a nice couple in which the guy looked too old for the jackoffable chick. She had brown hair and a girl-next-door type of face. As the guy left to complain about the film's lateness ...

RYAN: So I'm having a flashback. I used to work at a movie theater. And whenever projectionists lost track of time, it was because they were having sex in the booths.
JACKOFFABLE CHICK: Hmmm ... That must've been why it was still pitch black when we walked in.
