He cheated on that one. His real name was Ernesto.

It's a nickname because argentinians always say "che" when we talk, (for example something like: Che, how are you doing ?).

We tend to use it to grab attention, but to be honest you can say it almost anywhere.

You don't use it as a subject, you don't go "I talked to "che" the other day".

I see. That's a pretty awesome attention-grabbing-utterance then. :D

New Daredevil trailer.

phpBB [video]


Looks fucking phenomenal... with the exception of that goddamn stupid annoying cunt blond who still annoys the shit out of me, even with just the tiny appearance and dialogue she has in the trailer. :bad-words:
God, she's terrible. A fucking zit on the face of an otherwise great show.
All the same, the new costume for Daredevil looks a hell of a lot better than the one from the last episode of the first season (although I'm still partial to the athletic gear and blindfold, but eh, whatever). And obviously Bernthal as the Punisher looks great. Nice sense of atmosphere through this whole thing.

Check out the new Rush Hour TV show, its a reboot, but it seems like it might actually be alright. Save for the fact that by default it probably wont be as good as Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. What do you guys think?

Wow, that... that was hard to watch. Three minutes of "I'm black! Also you're Chinese and don't understand what I'm saying! Also I'm black!" It looked like a student-made remake or something.
The originals worked precisely because of the chemistry and screen presence of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. Replace them with, oh, I dunno... Marlon Wayans and Jet Li, and the movies would probably have been pretty friggin terrible.
Replace them with some no-names with no individual appeal, and it's even worse.

I'd say it'll fail immediately, but shitty shows like Scorpion and Two Broke Girls are still on the air (on CBS, no less), so hey, what do I know?

Yeah the Rush hour movies are some of my favorites and this reboot trailer was disappointing to see. I can't see it doing well. The comedy seems really forced.

Rush Hour 2 and 3 kind of blew. The premise couldn't really be extended beyond two hours from the first movie, much less an entire trilogy and series.

I like the second one. Nothing wrong with it. It was more colorful than the first, had better action scenes, and featured Zhang Ziyi. I find no fault in that.
Never bothered watching all of the third though. Seemed like an unnecessary mess.

First two were good. The third just felt like they were goin through the motions to collect their money and slap the "trilogy" label on the franchise.
