The Vinculum

Kasuto is now 30 years old. In recognition of this fact, I encourage all of you to give me $30. Anyone? Well, it was worth a shot. At least now I can resonably complain about "kids these days."

And let me tell you, Clint Eastwood is one racist bastard. Every other word out of his mouth is kike, wop, spic, chink, wetback, spook, zipperhead, rice negro, etc. He looks directly at this teenage Asian girl and says, "Get me a beer, dragon lady." I had to pause the movie to regain my composure from half-laughing my ass off and half-too shocked to breathe.

Aside from the racism, this is an extremely wonderful movie which makes me think of Oni Link, a classic tale of what to do when you just can't take it anymore.

I want to see that movie so badly. I saw Slumdog Millionaire about two weeks ago, and I'm still recovering from the incredible cinematography.

I WANTED TO SEE SLUMDOG MILLIONAAAAAIRE.

Okay, now that that is over, let's talk about the movie, lol.

I actually like it when actors play jackasses. Like Tom Cruise in Rain Man. It makes me kind of freak out a little, though. Hopefully people aren't like that in real life.

He himself is not racist, the character he plays is portrayed as racist. Its what keeps the viewer watching the movie. Notice how the ending to the movie sucked? Its because the guy that kept you entertained with the plot *died*. <-- spoiler

It kept everyone laughing in the theater along with me.

[font=Comic Sans MS]Zipperhead is a derogatory term used towards Asians, but was coined in Korea. It was coined because G.I.'s noticed that when they shot a Korean in the forehead at close range with their service rifles, of the time the M1 Garand chambered in .30-06, that their heads would split down the middle and make a nose, kinda like you were unzipping something.

And 343 is right, Clint's character plays a racist; Clint himself isn't. Besides, hasn't anyone here ever exchanged jabs with friends? Racist jabs at friends are the best![/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Yeah. What do you expect from a generation who grew up getting shot at by Asians?

And yeah Madman, that would be me except I dunno if I'd have allowed the same ending as Clint did lol. The show of firepower was impressive, but I'd like to think I'd bring more fireworks to that party :D [/font]
