But does he understand how it's a subversion of the arrogant white male action hero archetype

 

Well, I kept telling him Wang was the hero who was the kung fu and karate master.

No but I think my sister said "holy shit it's Ron Jeremy"

 

Did you ask your sister why she knows who Ron Jeremy is?

btw, I showed Tele Jr BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA the other day -- well, mostly (we watched while we played Junior Monopoly and I made sure he paid attention to the big scenes). He was into it way more than expected: he liked the fighting, the magic, was into the ghosts and Lo Pan, and made all the right noises for the various monsters (floating eyeball head: "Ew! GROSS!"; giant hairy monster: "Oooh, it's like a Yeti only BAD!").

We're one step closer to Tele Jr.'s first viewing of Mission: Impossible 2.

Baseball Twitter is... not happy about this.

 

There is a bright side though:

Okay, sure, it isn't a million miles away from ESPN exclusivity for Sunday Night Baseball (and others).  But peeps didn't like that either when it was introduced.

 

Besides... Facebook?  Yuk.

 

So do they just use the regular production team and pipe the feed to Facebook?

Good! Hopefully it's not too long before you show him Escape From New York too.

MLBN is going to have a hand in producing this, so it's probably gonna be the same crew that does the MLBN games,

I'll have to see what game this might affect the Brewers.   If it's an afternoon game while I'm at work then no biggie.

Then I assume Halloween and Assault on Precinct 13 are decades off.

Yeah probably, I'm sure a lot of the gritty violence and tone wouldn't exactly be the best for him right now. You'll probably have to wait even longer before showing him Assault on Precinct 13, or The Thing.

@HerediTele didn't you say last week you and your family met Maya Rudolph once? Can't wait until Tele Jr. discovers that that lady once took a shit in the street in a movie within a couple of years!

What about Con Air? That's perfectly suitable for children.

Precinct 13 gonna scare the kid off complaining about his ice cream for life though.

I just heard about this. Well this stinks. Win an Oscar (or two), get divorced.

I feel really unattractive. I haven't shaved in over a week, and my hair is a mess. Do I feel like doing anything about them though? NOPE!
