He's Got A Point


Movie Night last night with my brother-- Occasionally the last bastion of civilization in our lives.

Last night? Terminator 2, one of the greatest sequels of all time. Seen as James Cameron intended, on a very big screen.

The week before, it had been Enter The Dragon, preceded by the Kong vs. T-Rex scene of King Kong. BAM. Andy asked the hypothetical question: King Kong vs. The Incredible Hulk. Who'd win? Hulk, I offered. With a minimum of reasoning, I convinced him I was probably right.

Last night; remembering the previous week's Bruce Lee extravaganza, I turned to Andy and said, "Okay. Bruce Lee vs. The Terminator?" Andy thought for a moment: We both knew that outside of a steel mill, there was no way Bruce (forgive me!) could take down a bulletproof cyborg, and Andy didn't want to be the one to say it.

Not thirty seconds later, he grins with triumph. "Casey, the Terminator's just in the movies. Bruce Lee kicked ass off the screen, too." I nodded, happily defeated.

*bows respectfully*

    Uh, uh, I believe my quote was
    "The Terminator was fictional..." and I was trying to say it as if you needed to be reminded of that, well, I guess it is easy to forget that Bruce Lee was truly a man of our existance. Though not long enough.

    Namaste my brother.
