I was reading this light-hearted celebration of violence and it occurred to me to ask:
What IS the perfect movie?
Must have maximum possible:
- beautifully choreographed fighting, shot correctly
- explosions and fire
- sexy implements such as swords, guns, motorcycles, computers
- fast moving
- destroyed things
- as unsexist as possible
- no mushy bits
- minimal exposition
- leaping from thing to thing
- Car chases are okay if spectacular, with leaping
- Mass battles in historical costume are a bonus
In other words I don't want to be fast forwarding to the next cool fight scene. The whole damn movie should be the fight scene.
Watch Shaolin Soccer. Of course, I vote for almost anything where Vin Diesel takes off his clothes.

This is a bit late, but this post does make me want to run a BESM campaign set in The Culture, with Special Circumstances operatives and snarky drones, kicking ass, taking names, and the crashing of giant ass starships into Dyson Spheres.
