Ooh, Ooh! Shiny! JesterNoir likes Shiny.

So I’ve decided that my actual blog is getting eaten up by pics of things that I like, generally when I’m surfing the web and something makes me go ‘Ooh! Shiny!’

I’m easily distracted by shiny things, I’m a bit if a magpie in this regard.

To combat this, this shall be my blog for posting bits of shiny that I find. The other blog will be much more full of my stuff and observations.
You can find me at jesternoir.tumblr.com

Fuckin’ BAD. ASS.

flying take-downs like that are unsettling to experience.
It’s strange that more action movies don’t employ more wushu grapples or aikido projections. I guess the problem is that even stylized conflicts like that between trained professionals don’t last that long, and often don’t read well onscreen, and directors need longer, easier to understand stuff that doesn’t require training the actors so much.
There is the famous story of Bruce Lee having to repeatedly slow his movements to be seen at all on 24fps film, and many fight choreographers who have worked with wushu champions like Jet Li have spoken about the unique challenges of film. Still, I think we miss something by not having more fictional portrayals that include this kind of stuff.

this defines “BADASS!” she wiped the floor with his ass!
