Zoe ,'The Train Job'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Waivers don't really cover much when you can't legally consent to assault
Isn't a dojo consenting assault? I mean, paying for the privilege of getting your nuts kicked in, pretty much?
Sports/martial arts are different because there are (putatively) rules/regulations/governing bodies/referees/etc. It seems like a minor difference, but apparently it's enough. (The "what about BOXING?" question is one of the first ones I asked w/r/t the legality of punching your loved one in the ass and whatnot.)
Krav doesn't have rules. Contracts. No rules, no regulations, no governing bodies. I'm not sure what would constitute a referee--I mean, we have teachers, but when I took capoeira, there wasn't even really that.
I can't see how a jury would find in your favour, but I guess I've been involved in some Fight Club kind of shit. That and the Shocknife.

I can see how the first rule of Shocknife would be Do Not Talk About Shocknife. Because that way the newbies have no idea what to expect.
GOD THAT WAS SO MUCH FUCKING FUN. Yeah, it did involve shocking myself first every time, but it was entirely worth it. The not right part is that B's angle was "Sure, I'm tough, I can handle it" (he was the only one that stood up through being tazed--I wanted to be tazed, but they wouldn't let me) "but watch *the chick* shock herself."
Okay, maybe that's not the only not right part.
But, despite his tough-man tazing, he was entirely not willing to get shocked on a weekly basis, but loved watching other people go under.
Then again, he kept his S&M kit in his trunk at all times.
Weirdo.
The Hunger Games - Hamburger Helper Trailer.
I am dead. Oh my God. (Er, also, spoilers? Although I don't know anyone here who's interested in the movie without having read the book.)
My memory was that the outfit Katniss is wearing isn't a dress, it's a pants suit. But still, looks about right to me. I of course pictured her in something more Emma Peel, but then again, I think most pants suits should be a bit more Emma Peel.
P-C, I was thinking of the wedding dress that lights on fire when she spins . (spoiler from... book 2 or 3, can't remember)
I can whitefont that, right?
Burrell, your recollection is the same as mine. I pictured a unitard/bodysuit.
Interesting piece on Haywire: [link]
For the record, I am interested in Hunger Games, though I have not seen the movie. Although I suspect the Hamburger Helper trailer won't be funny to me.
