I think it's also that no-one talks to coordinate or apply teamwork. They pretty much only do random commentary, heavy breathing, insults, or snark.

Okay, old film but have you ever tried Talos the Mummy ? From back in.. '98ish if I recall, with the likes of Jason Scott Lee and Sean Pertwee. Even had a pre-fame Gerard Butler, plus a bit of support from the likes of Honor Blackman and Christopher Lee. But the classic tale of Egyptian Prince, cursed tomb, archaeologists discovering and dying, then 50 years later the granddaughter of one of those archaeologists discovering the log book and re-tracing the steps back.... Cue mysticism, grisly murders, supernatural evil, and of course a trip to the British Museum in London. One of those low budget adventure-horror's that partially jumped on The Mummy bandwagon, but worked quite well and had some very un-Hollywood twists to the tale. However, there is an American version of the film which is only about 88 minutes, and then there's the European/rest of the world version that is about 2 hours. The non-American lengthier one I think is better, but some people think the pacing is off (which was the reason they gave for cutting it for American audiences), but it still has a certain element of "good parts, that don't always work as a whole film".

Okay, so April is apparently Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month. The Anne Frank Centre as such doing the "We'll be highlighting 30 genocides over the 30 days of April"... Is it just me, or is it weird to pick a month like April for that? Having the various "Genocide Awareness" signs, and points being made about Native American and other groups suddenly showing up on newsfeeds and the like.. on April Fools day.

So yes, you walk past the cinema and see the billboard reading: Power Rangers Ghost in the Shell Beauty and the Beast And you have to ask yourself: "What year is this??!"

And to further heighten the potential loss of friends...

Wolverine in Japan was generally good, although let down a touch by the ending. On general film trivia (and Japan related)... Toshiro Mifune driving on the set of YOJIMBO with his sword on the dash:

I used to bug my history teacher when I was 12. At least, that's what he told my parents. I finished his sentences when he was explaining historical points, but what annoyed him was that I was always correct. Apparently, I was an annoying little ....
