I serendipitously found this on my current path of study. The live action fight choreography in the segments that weren’t excerpts from other productions is stilted to say the least, and a few other fluffs appeared that I won’t elaborate on, but what the hell. Mrs. LFM and I are Mark Decascos fans, and, while […]

Guns + Explosives + Black Humour + Russian Accent = Entertainment

Another serendipitous discovery happened today by the name of FPS Russia. A self described “Professional Russian“, this guy doesn’t need anyone to do his talking for him so I’ll turn him loose with a couple of gems to show you what I mean. And like he says, don’t try any of these tricks at home.

If you’ve gotten far enough to read this after Mrs. LFM’s title photo, and if you believe the hype, the year just ended will also mark the end of the calendar printing industry because 2012 is it. Well, Mrs. LFM and I have appointments the day after Armageddon so that shit’s not on for us. […]
