Why don't we have ninjas in movies anymore?
The last one I can remember that had ninjas is The Wolverine, which was, what? 2012? '13?
I like ninjas. They need to make a comback.
- Ninjas are a bit silly now, though as a kid it was my dream to be one.
Also https://www.youtube.…PhanLo - There were some in Daredevil https://www.youtube.…PhanLo
- ^ Aah, I never did watch that show.Continuity
- And they're not silly ... they're awesome. :(Continuity
- Lego Ninjago movie?uan
- That‘s what kids are into...Ninjagos and Pokemons...uan
- Think I watched every bad ninja movie in the video shop. Just think street lights probably would catch them out more in modern times. :-)PhanLo
- ^ This is why ninjas have throwing stars.monNom
- Pffft. No self-respecting ninja would ever get caught out by something as banal as a street light!Continuity
- Movies are full of ninjas. You just can’t seem ‘em ‘cause they’re ninjasscarabin
- This was TOP
https://www.imdb.com…grafician - When I was 12 and into ninja movies I convinced my mom to rent one because it said "not rated" on the VHS cover.palimpsest
- It had a lot of gore, obese topless women that might have been sex slaves and dirt bikes. When she walked by as I was watching it she wanted to stop it.palimpsest
- But a deal is a deal and I could finish watching it. I found it really weird for a ninja movie, specially the dirt bikes. Has anyone seen it?palimpsest
- Sounds pretty sweetYakuZoku
- Be ready for TMNT mayhem, mark my words.ApeRobot
- If you remember the name of the film, palimp, let us know. It sounds awful enough to be awesome.Continuity
- I'm looking for it but can't find it. I do it every 2 years when I remember it. I think it had subtitles, really low budget.palimpsest
- @PhanLo has seen all of them so I'm waiting on him.palimpsest
- I got it from this small shop in downtown Baltimore. I don't remember, because at the time I couldn't tell, if it was an arty rental place or a fetish one.palimpsest
- I know exactly what street it was on though: 800 North Charles.palimpsest
- superheroes with superpowers killed the ninjasneverscared
- My ex... Japanese... couldn't understand why the west thinks ninjas are cool - in Japan it's seen as dorky/nerdy/childish...shapesalad
- I reckon I saw that movie too Palimpsest but can’t remember the titlePhanLo
- Well, I wanna know what it is!Continuity
- I'd like to get rid of ninjas and superheroes unless they know how ridiculous they are, like Adam West.CyBrainX

I should've tried, at least once, to get a voice acting gig.
I think I'd love a job like that.
- It's never too late! Ring up some recording studios, and record some samples.Continuity
- Friend of mine is a voice actor. Makes great money and loves it. He was the guy in high school who could narrate an entire Monty python film with all the voicesGnash

So, we can all agree that bitcoin was bad for the environment.
So many wasted computational cycles.
We've not seen anything yet. This world will burn as we consume its worth generating absolute bullshit, via complex ML / pseudo-AI constructs.
Disreality will become; Swamped awash with high carbon cost fuckallitudes of every and any utterly nonsensical type.

- I think there are worse things that bitcoin for the environment, bitcoin is an easy target "ponzi, tulips, bad for environment"shapesalad
- Bitcoin by it's nature, encourages sustainable sources of energy, wasted energy etc, as that's economically encouraged.shapesalad
- If you can capture wasted energy, or free eco source energy, capture into a form of value - you'd seek it out.shapesalad
- For someone that shits on cannabis, you sure sound like a teenager who's half way through his first 1/4 of soap bar.Nairn
- Mind you, me too probably. lolNairn
- note he's not saying bitcoin is not bad for the environment.kingsteven
- and not really trying very hard to explain it or he'll realise he's talking absolute pretentious nonsense...kingsteven
- love that "Bitcoin by it's nature" which just means "Bitcoin uses lots of energy, all the time" :Dkingsteven
- the fanciful definition 'wasted energy' - which usually means dissipation. here somewhere between 'excess' and ' yet to be harnessed'... wildkingsteven
- over 60% of generated energy dissipates in to heat through the grid and power transformers before it reaches a mining rig (that turns the rest in to heat)kingsteven
- believing in bitcoin is a prerequisite to the very belief renewable energy can be wasted (in the way shape portrays). gateway drug indeedkingsteven
- Optoelectronics will helpdrgs
- As much as I hate emojis, they might be the least horrible thing on your list.

Is it possible to be a flaming hetero?
- ...without being homophobic in any way?jagara
- Ever seen jojo’s bizarre adventure?scarabin
- Only closet gays are homophobicdrgs
- @drgs I think that's a gross oversimplification (albeit containing truth).jagara
- Aren't closeted gays heterophobic?
(I'm not saying they're not justified.)CyBrainX - Hmm... maybe? Closeted gays are usually acting homophobic, to insure the world that they're not gay?jagara

The main problem with suicide is you only get to experience one option. Imagine the untold horrors of everything we never saw in Groundhog Day.

My father in law never saw The Thing. He never watched scifi at all really and would watch re-runs of tv shows that people of his parents age would watch on tv.
I think about him not seeing it a lot, I reckon he would have liked it. The characters in another situation could have been in a cowboy film and still been cool.- Classic that still holds up. And one of the 'few' superior remakes.MrT
