“If it’s green it’s trouble, if it’s fried get double.”
— Roy Biggins, from WingsTimerider is coming out on Blu-ray in March. Does this mean that we may see an HD release of Fred Ward’s finest movie, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins?
Apparently, Girls Generation was set to release this video over four years ago, and ran into trouble getting the rights for the song. When they finally got that cleared up, they made it a surprise gift for the fans and a teaser for their next album. The styling at the end is pretty awful, but fortunately the previous few minutes of unadulterated cuteness softens the blow.
Also, Sooyoung/Seohyun pillow fight; not nearly as exciting as it sounds, but still good clean fun.
I was not killed on the way home tonight.
A pack of drunken assholes made the effort, though. They were doing about 25 MPH over the speed limit and apparently had no depth perception, or they wouldn’t have come so close to ramming me from behind on a clear stretch of highway.
Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution links, apparently approvingly, to someone’s list of the 200 best action movies of all time.
I could eat a pile of VHS tapes and puke a better list than this. Some of the movies do belong on the list, but in wildly different positions; others are, um, kinda sorta not action movies, or kinda sorta not good.
So after many delays, we finished moving the company to the new building. We had a few small issues to work out Monday morning, and I spent the evening on the phone with someone in China who needed to bring up a new VPN connection, but All Is Well.
My reward, apart from an Amazon gift card, new business cards, a coffee mug full of candy, and a Blu-ray box set, was that on Tuesday night, our Shinkendo dojo did tameshigiri for the first time.
Nothing like cutting up targets with a katana to take your mind off of work!
heLOVEnus continues to taunt fans with pictures; there’s a new album, you just can’t have it yet!

The more usual form of k-pop tease (aka “cute girls doing cute things”) can be found here.
And then there’s the unfortunate phonetic problem with the group’s name…
