Resident evil would actually be amazing. Even though, didnt the police department canonically fall because the chief ordered them to scatter all their ammo and nobody could find it?
@Guzmano7 Yes, Chief Irons sabotaged the defense efforts. I would like to see what a real defense plan would look like, though. Especially considering the RPD's mission to evacuate the city. It wouldn't be like the typical zombie defense of just hunkering down. They would have to coordinate with other locations like the university (which was a chopper evac zone) and the hospital (which was conducting research on a cure). They would need to maintain transportation and communication lines and perhaps incorporate civilians into their plans. I think they could potentially have obtained plans for the sewer system and found a path out to one of the old Umbrella factories in a less populated part of the Arklay Mountains and set up an evac point there.

@@TheTrueNorth11 Yes they do. Lots of people. GW wouldn't exist if they didn't. The sales of Space Marine II etc. What you mean is that YOU don't care about it.
It’s simple. The Dune movies were adaptations of Frank Herbert’s novel, and the tv show is an adaptation of a Brian Herbert novel. And most people consider the Brian Herbert books to be fan fiction. Also the movies were directed by Denis Villenueve(goat), and the show was a mess during production.
Sounds like they picked one of the most boring eras in Brian’s timeline too they could’ve picked the butlerian jihad and it would’ve been fucking awesome or the war of assassins and young Paul’s upbringing They picked one of the most boring factions that had the least interesting storylines of the whole fucking prequels
I love the full series of dune I think both authors did an amazing job. I didn’t even realize Frank Herbert didn’t write the last 2 books because they match in quality.
The worst thing is that in the book they are supposed to be those women that completely dominate their feelings and their whole powers is based on that they work as a collective not individuals which is why when Paul's mom gave birth to him instead of a girl (which she was ordered to) was completely alien to the reverends mothers
I think me and a lot of people just didn't enjoy it as much, because of the grandeur of Dune 2. I watched it twice in theaters because of how amazing both movies were as you stated. I would have much preferred a series based around the Butlerian Jihad (War of the thinking machines) That was referenced multiple times throughout the show.
I was positively surprised of the show. Not because it was so great, but because all the absolute garbage we usually get these days. It's not TNG DS9 or Babylon 5, but at least it was decent and felt mostly a series about Dune. I loved they had the courage to do political manoeuvring and plans within plans. Instead of going for something more simple and fool (audience) proof.
@@menninkainen8830i stopped watching precisely because it was so dull and simple, it failed at basic world building and tried so hard to be scifi game of thrones without any well written or compelling characters (Dune’s not game of thrones)
Coolest thing about the space women was that they were like spies, and they were so CAPABLE. Paul’s mom could 2 piece harkonnen death squads while pregnant. She knew how to bring a civilization not just to its knees but into complete devotion and servitude. I remember thinking “holy crap can THEY ALL DO THIS?!”
Remember when you heard that HBO was gonna do a show and you knew for a fact it was going to be another absolutely banger like Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Band of Brothers and The Pacific?
I immediately knew i was gonna hate it when they talked about the war against the machines. Like damn that plot looks a million times more interesting than what we're about to hear about.
I am a Dune (books) fan. I have my gripes, but overall I really enjoyed the movie and it's a relatively good adaptation. It doesn't feel like the people who made the movie had distain for the books which is a common problem. Also you're completely right. The Bene Gesserit are basically the bad guys of the entire setting and everything wrong in the universe is their fault.
My girlfriend was just teasing me for listening to Dune in the gym and I told her I have to get strong if I’m gonna follow Gurney into battle in my pajamas.
I mean, neither version is 100% accurate to the book, so might as well have fun with it (I definitely would have been completely lost if I hadn't read the book before watching the Lynch version)
Bene Gesserit didn't start as a powerful secret society, they gradually became one. Dune prophecy portraits a earlier version of sisterhood when they didn't have the: litany against fear, barely know how to use "pranu bindu", the voice, didn't implement spice in the agony test, and have weak conection to "other memory".
Honestly if they wanted to make a good prequel they could’ve just made a show about the gorilla warfare between the Fremen and Harkonen before the planet was gifted to the Atreides.
I still think the Dune mini series back in 2000 was the best adaption. It might be because it was my first introduction to Dune, but having revisited two other times throughout my life, it's always been thoroughly enjoyable and stays pretty faithful to the books. Plus, the acting talent is fantastic (Ian McNeice as Baron Harkonnen is perfection👌).
Apparently the show was based on one of the later books written after Herbert's death by his son and another author, so it was already going to feel radically different. A lot of Dune fans really don't like those books, and from what I've seen, many don't even like half the books Frank Herbert wrote, but idk🤷♂️. I could only get through a couple episodes of the show before I got bored and put Dune: Part One on instead. Also, I'd really recommend either reading Dune or listening to the audiobook. It really gives you a new appreciation for the movies, while also being just different enough from the movies to catch you off-guard at times. I read it over the summer after seeing the movies and I was honestly getting blindsided by some things even though I knew what direction the plot was heading in
Brian and Frank are both awesome just very different writers. People are just toxic so the community breaks out into civil war every time something dune happens and some of the old dune heads are the most bitter about it
10:49 honestly I'd enjoy a video of you yapping about the Halo series and why it was trash. Not that I don't know it's trash, it's just fun to hear why again
seems like the first seasons set up some of those stories lines you mentioned like the founding of the Sardakar which i think Desmond is doing, and hopefully in the 2nd season w get a similar ramp up in action like we got between Dube 1 and 2.....we also have to keep in mind that its still in the early days of the Bene Genserit and its being run by a Harkanan, whose natural traits in canon are embodied in Valya, the BG's are much more refined in the next 10,000 years.
I'm deep into the dune stuff and personally I can see how a lot of dune lore is pretty boring to people. Very interesting and inspired a crazy amount of other SciFi, but it's a lot of just political machinations and talking. The BGs are at the core of all the politics and talking. The show was pretty much what I expected and I enjoyed it, but what you're saying isn't wrong either.
That's good to know. I'm all for a good politicking show, but I didnt have enough skin in the game for this one to be invested in the outcomes of all that statecraft
@@BUREAUFILESPeople enjoyed the good political intrigue of Game of Thrones for several seasons of good writing-but the quality of the writing makes all the difference. Dune Prophecy had too few characters that evolved over the course of the season. Desmond Hart being the exception, as you said. It didn’t feel like characters experienced a journey where they earned how they ended up; rather we were just shown what characters did, either at present or in flashback, in a sequence that fits basically into the formula for writing a show.
Agree and she actually is fundamental to understand Paul' hesitation to become the Chosen. In this one I was wondering since pretty much the beginning why wait? if annoying Zendaya is the only thing preventing you to conquer the galaxy, purging your enemies and committing space genocide then I'm afraid space genocide it is and I would totally just ghost this Chani and bang Irulan all day long.

What really stood out to me, besides the Harkonnen not coming from Geidi Prime and calling the sand worm "shai'hulud"(a fremen term iirc) was the horses. Here we are 10-20k years into the future, during the dark age of techno...I mean Butlerian Jihad and we have house Atreides, using interstellar travelling ships to move horses to a planet thousands of LY away...so they can live in wooden huts... I do appreciate the sisterhood using those knock-off spyderco folding knives - gave me an excuse to get my gf one.
I strictly reserve admin for my toilet time. I refuse to watch him any other time of day because he deserves that respect. If I feel it’s one of his best content videos, I’ll push pause, wipe and go get a snack to resume on the toilet. We owe him that at least
@2:17 see I had the exact opposite reaction, “oh no, this is a blatant cash grab and it’s going to be shit” didn’t bother watching it and lo and behold…
Bro, I need you to be picked up by like HBO or Amazon prime. We need full hour long episodes deep diving into history and also conspiracies. There is nothing more entertaining than some gun nut explaining for 40 minutes how he would take down the Navi in avatar. 😂 straight fire brother!
Aw man, I was looking forward that Halo reference you left in the last episode...hope that's something you'll still consider doing! I wanna see humanity rise from its embarassing frailty in that series and remind them what Man is truly capable of when he's is led by righteous cause! ;)
Edit: I mean seriously humanity does terribly in Halo, I want to see it Redeem it's honor. Give em the ol' Warhammer treatment or something... Sometimes it felt like humanity was artificially made to be as weak and helpless as possible. And that didn't sit right with me, in my opinion it was a disservice to the ingenuity and resolve that defines the human condition and what enabled us to survive and evolve for thousands of years against all odds. If it's a war of extermination, and the questions is about humanity's very survival. There are so many more interesting things that could be explored beyond what humanity actually does in how it conducts the war...I mean where was the resolve, the ingenuity, the against all odds mentality. Its not like we were completely defenseless, we knew how to defeat them, we just did in such an incompetent way, throwing fleets at one another when adopting asymmetric style tactics, guerrilla warfare, hit and run, sneaking in on stealth ships or fast attacks, or just throwing whatever you had at the enemy from hiding mines looking like asteroids or camoflaging weapons to look like natural objects... ...just saying, its only in times of the most despereate of necessities that humanity's greatest achievements and innovations have been made. where was the iconic brand of human ingenuity and out of the box thinking that sparks in the most desperate of conditions...The defiance in the darkest hour and all that. There's nothing to motivate and unite humanity than an existential threat, and I feel it should reflect that. And I want to see that tackled. I want humanity to fight as a worthy and powerful and competent adversary that we know it can be, and has always been...honed by generations of conflict and competition and the drive for progress. Humanity key trait was the ability to Adapt and change, what enabled us to survive one cataclysm after another, what separated us from the other species on this planet...or we wouldnt be here. Carrying us through millions of years of evolution to dominating the planet and eventually the stars. That spirit should be done justice.
The show’s boredom levels match the books and movies perfectly. The visuals are nice, like a beautifully wrapped gift that turns out to be empty, except it takes hundreds of pages (or hours) to realize you’ve been duped.
Referring to our phones as “rectangle of existential dread” makes me think you watch bear independent! Either way love the many channels of yours and the content you create. Also could refer to them as “Babylonian rectangles of death” if you don’t watch bear!
Hard disagree on the main point. The Bene Gesserit is in its youth as an organization. The control that future members have over their emotions likely took one thousand years or more by itself to establish. But also, Jessica has a boy despite being told not to by the reverend mother at the time so I guess human emotion still isn’t conquered. Also, Sardaukar will likely get some screen time in the future from how Desmond was in charge of the emperor’s guard. I agree the machine wars should’ve been shown more. I needed more of it.
damn I love the Yapmin's Bureau Files talking about whatever comes to mind, can't wait for the next fantasy battle/war correction/critique video, though I absolutely adore the variety here. good to know I don't need to watch anything but the 80s movie :D
As a casual fan, the 10k year time jump is dumb. It's a lame attempt to sound epic, but realistically the idea that the same families would be in positions of power is absurd. We couldn't even identify the descendants of the Egyptian Pharoahs, and they were alive only 4500 years ago. Entire languages have been created and died, in less time. But we're expected to believe surnames and organisations could last for 10k years, 3x longer than the world's oldest religions. It's just silly!
I remember years ago watching the 80s Dune movie twice but still not really being able to process what it was about. I had to read the book to eventually grasp what i had watched.
The sales pitch for the show went something like this. Executive number 1: "What is the single most terrifying thing you can think of right this second?" Executive number 2: "My wife scheming with the lodge of her witch like friends, wishing for my failure and trying to influence the outcomes in my surroundings so she can better control me with means of social, psychological and sexual manipulation, all without my knowledge" Executive 1: "That's genius! Let's make a show about that! But since they are women, lets make them really, really incompetent, emotionally unstable, and have them backstabbing each other in the back constantly" Seriously, the Bene Gesserit of this show can not control their own school, let alone the intricate balance of the galactic empire, and by extension, the faith of the human race.
As a casual Dune enjoyer, the show intrigued me. Now I know I’ll probably still watch it but I’m not in a hurry. I’ll probably do a rewatch of The Pacific first.
I was gonna dawg on your video, but you’ve pretty much hit it right on the head. The story was cool, but they didn’t really elaborate much. Just kind of gave us a subplot I didn’t really care for. I mean it was cool seeing where “the voice” originated from, but other than that it was pretty much a miss for me. I was pretty much in the same boat as you, I really only continued to see where they went with Desmond’s story he was pretty badass. One thing that bothered me a lot though, was that why nobody shot the sword master or tranquilized the escapees. They know they didn’t have shields, they couldn’t apprehended them someway. Ain’t no way, the show wasted so many “hardened” veterans of Arrakis to push along a plot. Why couldn’t they have used the same stuff that paralyzed The Duke in the first movie. Love to see you look into Warhammer stuff dude. There’s a lot of play there. I think a lot of dudes here in the comment section would agree
I do think it’s funny that everyone uses knives in this universe instead of guns. I know why, but it still feels like a bunch of monkeys with sharp sticks decided to conquer the stars and use mind powers one day and here we are.
No toilet watch, but food watch. Really like your movie yapping, it's entertaining. You are probably a great person to talk with over a beer/whisky. Thanks for another good video
As a die-hard Dune fan, the show was kinda fan service, but was also a less effective way to portray the Bene Gesserit. What I mean is that they are altruistic schemers, but their ideas couldn't be conveyed to a normal audience without either constant inner monologues or breaking their mystique --think of it like a super poker face. In the show, they chose the latter for convenience. Ultimately, I thought the pacing was fine because there was way more correlation to the greater Dune universe in between the lines. I also agree that a Butlerian Jihad show would be fire!
Thank you for the warning. I am once again asking for Jack Thorpe from Toy Soldiers or Mad Dog from Hard Boiled to be shown some love. Both bad guys, both pretty interesting
Valya's and Tula's brother' body came home with an apology note from Vorian Atreides, that did technically kill him, although in self defense, trying his best to make amends, but it didn't work out, just a lore tidbit.
The TV show is based on books written by Frank Herbert's son. You know how there's the saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? This isn't a case of that.
You know life is a bit spicy when you watch a movie that culminates in a single-combat knife fight to the death between two opposing sides, to distract you from the fact that you watched a horrific single-combat knife fight to the death between two opposing sides.
I was watching you while on the toilet. And I agree with your take, even having ONLY seen the show and not the movies(yet). But the last horrible thing I saw was in-person about 7 months ago. I was about 10 feet away from a dude who was murdered in front of me. Not a great experience, can't say I recommend it.

@Guzmano7 Yes, Chief Irons sabotaged the defense efforts. I would like to see what a real defense plan would look like, though. Especially considering the RPD's mission to evacuate the city.

They would have to coordinate with other locations like the university (which was a chopper evac zone) and the hospital (which was conducting research on a cure). They would need to maintain transportation and communication lines and perhaps incorporate civilians into their plans. I think they could potentially have obtained plans for the sewer system and found a path out to one of the old Umbrella factories in a less populated part of the Arklay Mountains and set up an evac point there.

Stuff like this is the reason people think it's normal to spend like 1-2 hours taking a shit
@@EspressoGun LMAOOOOOO
That subtle Emperor of man meme
What really stood out to me, besides the Harkonnen not coming from Geidi Prime and calling the sand worm "shai'hulud"(a fremen term iirc) was the horses.
Here we are 10-20k years into the future, during the dark age of techno...I mean Butlerian Jihad and we have house Atreides, using interstellar travelling ships to move horses to a planet thousands of LY away...so they can live in wooden huts...
I do appreciate the sisterhood using those knock-off spyderco folding knives - gave me an excuse to get my gf one.
I see what you did there. The Emperor protects.
Fully agree with your take on this series. The witch sisters aren’t good and are extremely boring characters, why make the show about them
I saw a video from a guy who's DEEP in the lore, and he said the show sucks, too.
So, not a fan thing.
LISAN AL-GAIB!!!! Admin lead us into paradise!!!!
I don't know if the next movie gonna suck I am all in for some scenes of galactic genocide.
I strictly reserve admin for my toilet time. I refuse to watch him any other time of day because he deserves that respect. If I feel it’s one of his best content videos, I’ll push pause, wipe and go get a snack to resume on the toilet. We owe him that at least
@2:17 see I had the exact opposite reaction, “oh no, this is a blatant cash grab and it’s going to be shit” didn’t bother watching it and lo and behold…
Bro, I need you to be picked up by like HBO or Amazon prime. We need full hour long episodes deep diving into history and also conspiracies. There is nothing more entertaining than some gun nut explaining for 40 minutes how he would take down the Navi in avatar. 😂 straight fire brother!
If the shareholders from Avatar are getting their yachts... Then The Emperor's enemies are damn well getting their homes burned.
Don't forget: wipe, flush, wash your hands. That's the perfect way to end a time well spent.
I’d love to see you cover the prison attack in the walking dead. It’s always frustrated me seeing how poorly Rick and the other survivors defended it.
7:58 in the book (which prophecy is based on) the Atredies did not kill Griffin Harkonnen.
Aw man, I was looking forward that Halo reference you left in the last episode...hope that's something you'll still consider doing!
I wanna see humanity rise from its embarassing frailty in that series and remind them what Man is truly capable of when he's is led by righteous cause! ;)
Edit: I mean seriously humanity does terribly in Halo, I want to see it Redeem it's honor. Give em the ol' Warhammer treatment or something...
Sometimes it felt like humanity was artificially made to be as weak and helpless as possible. And that didn't sit right with me, in my opinion it was a disservice to the ingenuity and resolve that defines the human condition and what enabled us to survive and evolve for thousands of years against all odds.
If it's a war of extermination, and the questions is about humanity's very survival. There are so many more interesting things that could be explored beyond what humanity actually does in how it conducts the war...I mean where was the resolve, the ingenuity, the against all odds mentality. Its not like we were completely defenseless, we knew how to defeat them, we just did in such an incompetent way, throwing fleets at one another when adopting asymmetric style tactics, guerrilla warfare, hit and run, sneaking in on stealth ships or fast attacks, or just throwing whatever you had at the enemy from hiding mines looking like asteroids or camoflaging weapons to look like natural objects...
...just saying, its only in times of the most despereate of necessities that humanity's greatest achievements and innovations have been made.
where was the iconic brand of human ingenuity and out of the box thinking that sparks in the most desperate of conditions...The defiance in the darkest hour and all that.
There's nothing to motivate and unite humanity than an existential threat, and I feel it should reflect that.
And I want to see that tackled. I want humanity to fight as a worthy and powerful and competent adversary that we know it can be, and has always been...honed by generations of conflict and competition and the drive for progress.
Humanity key trait was the ability to Adapt and change, what enabled us to survive one cataclysm after another, what separated us from the other species on this planet...or we wouldnt be here.
Carrying us through millions of years of evolution to dominating the planet and eventually the stars.
That spirit should be done justice.
I hope everyone that is involved in the Halo show never gets another job in film or TV ever again.
2:57 Bro is bringing the Emperor.....next vid o 40K ?
Not the pop corn bucket in the background 😭🙏
I love Admin's new channel, but my major problem with the video is the missing intro soundtrack was absent from this masterpiece
The show’s boredom levels match the books and movies perfectly. The visuals are nice, like a beautifully wrapped gift that turns out to be empty, except it takes hundreds of pages (or hours) to realize you’ve been duped.
Referring to our phones as “rectangle of existential dread” makes me think you watch bear independent! Either way love the many channels of yours and the content you create. Also could refer to them as “Babylonian rectangles of death” if you don’t watch bear!
Keep it up dude
Your energy, editing and headaches with pictures are dynamite
Hard disagree on the main point. The Bene Gesserit is in its youth as an organization. The control that future members have over their emotions likely took one thousand years or more by itself to establish. But also, Jessica has a boy despite being told not to by the reverend mother at the time so I guess human emotion still isn’t conquered.
Also, Sardaukar will likely get some screen time in the future from how Desmond was in charge of the emperor’s guard.
I agree the machine wars should’ve been shown more. I needed more of it.
If he did 40k lore that shit would go so hard.
You are so modest, man - "Am I in show business? Kinda". It seems that you know about show business, more than many contemporary Hollywood execs.
damn I love the Yapmin's Bureau Files talking about whatever comes to mind, can't wait for the next fantasy battle/war correction/critique video, though I absolutely adore the variety here. good to know I don't need to watch anything but the 80s movie :D
5:15 "Your mothers warned you about my coming"
Giggity
As a casual fan, the 10k year time jump is dumb. It's a lame attempt to sound epic, but realistically the idea that the same families would be in positions of power is absurd. We couldn't even identify the descendants of the Egyptian Pharoahs, and they were alive only 4500 years ago. Entire languages have been created and died, in less time. But we're expected to believe surnames and organisations could last for 10k years, 3x longer than the world's oldest religions. It's just silly!
Administrative results? Is that you?!?!??
As a writer, a good quote is "If you wanna sell sausages dont show people how sausages are made"
I remember years ago watching the 80s Dune movie twice but still not really being able to process what it was about. I had to read the book to eventually grasp what i had watched.
bros taste is impeccable
this is the beginning of the faction. remember 10k years ago
The high speed cool guy stuff in "Lioness" was pretty satisfying. If u need something to watch before "Reacher" comes back.
The sales pitch for the show went something like this.
Executive number 1:
"What is the single most terrifying thing you can think of right this second?"
Executive number 2:
"My wife scheming with the lodge of her witch like friends, wishing for my failure and trying to influence the outcomes in my surroundings so she can better control me with means of social, psychological and sexual manipulation, all without my knowledge"
Executive 1:
"That's genius! Let's make a show about that! But since they are women, lets make them really, really incompetent, emotionally unstable, and have them backstabbing each other in the back constantly"
Seriously, the Bene Gesserit of this show can not control their own school, let alone the intricate balance of the galactic empire, and by extension, the faith of the human race.
Travis Fimmel is awesome but the rest of the show was very meh. Gave up after the 3rd or 4th episode
Gonna have to watch the series first so that i can come for the proper file breakdown. Didn't even know it existed till rn
As a casual Dune enjoyer, the show intrigued me. Now I know I’ll probably still watch it but I’m not in a hurry. I’ll probably do a rewatch of The Pacific first.
It’s heartwarming that other people scrub through the boring/dumb scenes
I was gonna dawg on your video, but you’ve pretty much hit it right on the head. The story was cool, but they didn’t really elaborate much. Just kind of gave us a subplot I didn’t really care for.
I mean it was cool seeing where “the voice” originated from, but other than that it was pretty much a miss for me. I was pretty much in the same boat as you, I really only continued to see where they went with Desmond’s story he was pretty badass.
One thing that bothered me a lot though, was that why nobody shot the sword master or tranquilized the escapees. They know they didn’t have shields, they couldn’t apprehended them someway.
Ain’t no way, the show wasted so many “hardened” veterans of Arrakis to push along a plot.
Why couldn’t they have used the same stuff that paralyzed The Duke in the first movie.
Love to see you look into Warhammer stuff dude. There’s a lot of play there. I think a lot of dudes here in the comment section would agree
Gotta do the Wakanda vs Space Dogs in Infinity War. Completely ridiculous battlefield strategy, tactics, everything.
I do think it’s funny that everyone uses knives in this universe instead of guns. I know why, but it still feels like a bunch of monkeys with sharp sticks decided to conquer the stars and use mind powers one day and here we are.
I thank you good sir, now I don't need to watch it!
Really like the channel, it's very complementary to your admin channel.
I honestly like your videos focused around movies and tv shows more than your gun videos
I tend to watch TV to AVOID hysterical women...
No toilet watch, but food watch. Really like your movie yapping, it's entertaining. You are probably a great person to talk with over a beer/whisky.
Thanks for another good video
I'm not on the toilet, I'm on a train and I'm sick of the guy on the phone behind me.
As a die-hard Dune fan, the show was kinda fan service, but was also a less effective way to portray the Bene Gesserit. What I mean is that they are altruistic schemers, but their ideas couldn't be conveyed to a normal audience without either constant inner monologues or breaking their mystique --think of it like a super poker face. In the show, they chose the latter for convenience. Ultimately, I thought the pacing was fine because there was way more correlation to the greater Dune universe in between the lines. I also agree that a Butlerian Jihad show would be fire!
Thank you for the warning.
I am once again asking for Jack Thorpe from Toy Soldiers or Mad Dog from Hard Boiled to be shown some love. Both bad guys, both pretty interesting
Nowadays a show like Dune actually feels like a beacon of hope in the universe.
In your nightmares you give water to the dead and it brings joy to your heart.
Glad you are posting more often 😤😤😤😤🌟🌟
Valya's and Tula's brother' body came home with an apology note from Vorian Atreides, that did technically kill him, although in self defense, trying his best to make amends, but it didn't work out, just a lore tidbit.
I was not bummed and let down by the show.
Due to your timely warning, I won't be.
Thanks.
One thing is for sure. If these space witches don't pull on the thread and sing about the power of many, the show may not be doomed from the get-go.
Another show so poorly written it made us side with the vilains.
The TV show is based on books written by Frank Herbert's son. You know how there's the saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? This isn't a case of that.
You know life is a bit spicy when you watch a movie that culminates in a single-combat knife fight to the death between two opposing sides, to distract you from the fact that you watched a horrific single-combat knife fight to the death between two opposing sides.
My legs went numb after watching this because I was sitting on the toilet. Nice job dude!
A true blessing for your proctologist! 👍
I was watching you while on the toilet. And I agree with your take, even having ONLY seen the show and not the movies(yet).
But the last horrible thing I saw was in-person about 7 months ago. I was about 10 feet away from a dude who was murdered in front of me.
Not a great experience, can't say I recommend it.
