Every previous times he's considered following up on his previous character he's ultimately backed off, you had the Vega Bros and a Kill Bill follow up suggested in the past as well. Whilst his films get talked up as exercises in style they do tend to have characters created to fill a certain...

One thing that comes to mind with The Movie Critic being dropped is that the film seemed like it was likely to be build on a series of segments around different actors/films and perhaps one of those segments ended up being more interesting to him than the film as a whole?

I do personally think the Struve fight shows you the issues Stipe might face if he'd fought in Fedor's era, at that point he was really trying to beat Struve in a technical kickboxing match and he simply couldnt, he was getting outlanded in the 2nd round and beaten up well before the claimed eye...

Although that situation is fairly unique, basically Max calling Justin to throw down in the last few seconds knowing he'd probably accept as he was losing, allowed him to really sit down on his punches in a way he typically doesnt. I think you could argue as well that Gaethje isnt a million...

I always felt like the big divide between what people look for in such films was the original Blade Runner. On the face of it a high concept thriller but I would argue its really much more concerned with character and theme than it is the exact details of plot and setting. I'm guessing a lot of...

I think Nolan is good at what he does but that tends to be high concept thriller set pieces, I think Memento is probably his most interesting film character wise but I wouldnt say he's really known for great depth there. I actually liked Tenet and Dunkirk more than a lot of his career because...

I mean ultimately if your talking "thought provoking" I would say the commentary on the malleability of memory and the toxicity of revenge is a lot more interesting than considering the exact details of the plot which as you say are just about logical enough for it to get away with but don't...

Jesus Christ that looks fucking aweful, dreadful snarky humour totally out of place.

I don't think thats really the driver for US actions personally which have generally tended to limit production. The driver is theres massive profits to be made by US oil companies running things as they have in the past.

Yeah in offence I think maybe so, Jan's grappling defence on his back is pretty questionable but I think his top game is more dangerous than those two.

To be fair I think those things can both be true. You can think the UFC employes too many mediocre fighter it can get away with paying peanuts in order to fill cards and create a scarcity of quality MMA which can be used to sell a few PPV cards.

Not very well I'd agree. I can kind of see how it came about, Rousey fought a few grapplers like Sarah McMann were it looked they might potentially be able to avoid the ground with her. That they had limited striking ability meant that Rousey becoming an aggressive brawler worked quite well for...

Pretty much, fighter pay ultimately comes down to wanting more money invested in the sport so it can get better.

I mean theres generally a good deal of truth that directors do their best work when their younger or middle aged and then drop off with time same as many artists. In his own case though I think most would say his career has held up quite nicely, maybe Pulp Fiction would most commonly be called...

That first round has one fench clinch from Rousey and one reversal in a clinch which ends up with her attempting an armbar on Holms back. Again as I said watch the fight and I think its pretty clear Rousey is not focused mostly on grappling, she's trying to KO Holm, loading up on punches and not...

I would say moreso that people forget what his earlier MMA run was often based on grappling moreso than striking.

Again I would tend to disagree that Izzy has fought against effective grapplers, he's fought some guys with wrestling backgrounds but in MMA people like Yoel and Kev have been strikers who have used their grappling defencively. I would say that Jan is actually the most effective offensive...

Given that Holm is almost a decade older and on a far worse run I'm not sure its that relevant but I would strongly disagree that they have similar tactics. Rousey by the time she fought Holm was I think strongly "edmonded", she had far too much confidence in her striking and this is mostly...

I would say the difference in Alex favour as a kickboxer is greater than the difference in Izzys favour as an MMA fighter. Izzy's kickboxing career had a lot of fights but in terms of significant wins really only a couple against Belgaroui stand out compared to Alexs wins over Izzy x 2...

It seems a bit strange though that he did come back and picked up a great win and THEN suddenly got scared of fighting Alex. I detect the hand of Dana very strongly in this personally, I think Alex was brought in so Izzy could beat the guy who KOed him in kickboxing but instead he loses to him...
