“According to a 1995 Premiere magazine article, Denzel Washington confronted director Quentin Tarantino when he visited the set of Crimson Tide. Quentin had done an uncredited rewrite of the script. Denzel lambasted Tarantino about his use of racial slurs in his films. Tarantino got embarrassed and wanted to move the conversation to a more private area. Denzel said, ‘No, if we’re going to discuss it, let’s discuss it now.’ Denzel later said he still felt that Quentin was “a fine artist”

That’s a gentleman.

Just finished up the Claymore series.

The show really surprised me, I hadn’t been excited to fly through an anime like that in a long time. 

The monsters were amazingly well drawn and each Claymore’s special ability was a very interesting way to design the fighting sequences.  The fight scenes are crazy brutal too, it’s just a shame the monsters blood is purple.  Monsters disguised as family members, eating the family… it gets pretty intense.  Even some psychological stuff, a lot of themes about natural power that is within us and the strength that comes with learning control

I really wish the show was more than just 26 episodes and the manga series could have been followed closely.  The biggest issue was just that, the show was 11 installments of a manga legend crammed into 24 episodes and then a final 2 episodes that were crafted for a kosher ending. The ending left me wanting so much more, it feels like a lot is left unresolved.  It almost makes me want to read the manga… 

But regardless, it’s totally worth the watch with well choreographed fight scenes, interesting setting and content, and the coolest pack of female warriors you’ll ever see. Highly recommended.

Your dad was a burly woodsman hipster before you were and he’s got the tree felling tools to prove it. He smelled of pine needle adventure musk that he earned from days of seducing woodland nymphs and lady hikers. His beard was elemental bulletproofing for his face and mother nature calls him her own. He’s the Mike Tyson of axe swings and the MacGyver of outdoor survival. He’s fought bears, tamed mountain lions and can call any woods creature to his aide with a whistle. He’s what makes the outdoors great. 

So hipsters, next time you’re bragging about your Best Made trophy lumber chopper (which will never taste tree) and you’re stroking your beard with smug self importance while staring at it on the wall like it is some sort of masculine art piece that makes up for the fact that you’re wearing skinny jeans, remember this…

Your dad could actually swing an axe. He wielded it against forest foes and slayed trees with it. It was a tool of manhood that he was never without, just like his knife, fists, flannel and fire starters. 

Thanks to Wyatt for the awesome photo.
