Well Amélie Nothomb is quite the celebrity. Her father was a diplomat with various postings in Asia (Japan, China, Laos) and she wrote a couple of novels based upon her experiences as a little girl trying to make sense of the exotic settings. Her breakthrough work is Stupeurs et tremblements, which has also been made into a movie.

Until today, I thought this band's name was "Jesus and the Mary Chain" (which I like better)

Quote from: M.10rda on November 15, 2025, 09:18:37 PM"Jim Dalen's Sister" would be a good name for a lo-fi/indie/punk band.

I'd go with "Jim Dalen's Tranquilized Sister," and maybe do some shoegaze/dreamcore stuff.  :twirl:

THE MARINE (2006)

No real idea who John Cena is other than I remember he released a rap album in the mid 00's, and I was aware at the time he wasn't primarily a rapper but that's it. never been sure what he is.

THE MARINE is pitched somewhere inbetween standard Steven Seagal mid 00's action, and standard mid 00's fratboy buddy comedy.

This mix n blend formula should equal absymal, but this is so playful with it, that it's actually quite watchable.

Cena looks like a lego man Matt Damon. Thingy McThingy from TERMINATOR 2 is the main bad guy and puts in a likeably b-movie pantomime villain performance.

There is a token hot good woman, and a token hot baddie woman, so....Q: do they end up having a gratuitous catfight, limbs a-flailing exotically in the jungle heat?

...nah, they don't.

...psyche! they do.

I made it all the way to the end, which is more than I can say for THE MATRIX or FIGHT CLUB.  :question:
