I had a tragic movie viewing week.Β I was going to show Metropia as my main film, with The Old Man Movie as a backup.Β Metropia was just so damn boring.Β I agree with the critics that the plot was just too hard to follow.Β And the dialog isn’t just low volume, it’s listless sleep whispers.Β Old Man Movie was flat-out bad. I didn’t last 5 minutes. Links provided if you want to see for yourself.
Thankfully I have a massive watch list on Tubi so I was able to reach back and find something. So here’s the Hail Mary pass for tonight.Β Ninja: The Final Duel!Β I have seen this in the past, so no chance of me pulling a Godfrey Ho and posting the same movie twice, with a different title each time. I hope.
Cool things about this film:Β It originally had a totally nude female ninja scene in it.Β This copy doesn’t have it, but in best Q fashion, I have the footage here. (NSFW) Only the best for those of you who show up Thursdays.
This movie also has an amphibious attack on big spiders.Β You read me right. Big, clearly inflatable spiders. With ninjas as riders. This is one fun ninja film.Β It is also one fuzzy ninja film so don’t waste time trying to clean your bifocals. Someday, I will find the blind guy who transferred kung fu films to video and kick him in the nuts.
Until then watch!Β Or don’t! Everything is voluntary until a ninja on a big inflatable spider chops your head off! Next week, who knows?Β There’s no earthy way of knowing…. Which direction we are going…

β totally nude female ninja sceneβ
Finally found my fetish
*High fives
It is also one fuzzy ninja film
That scene at least.
Not a merkin fan I take it?
On the contrary
Totally nude woman ninjas. R.J. referenced Steel Panther. Throw in some Dweezil Zappa and this is what you get: https://youtu.be/DT2JnpAEw98
read “feat” as “feet”
I am previewing a film called βThe Naked Witch.β Nobody is naked. Narrator is still giving the history of witchcraft, and I am ten minutes into the movie.
Worst.Porno.Ever.
I watched Last Woman on Earth (Roger Corman) last night. Actually not bad. For what it is.
Ninjas, riding spiders? I might just watch Ninja Cheerleaders instead. I’m on the fence.
Everything is voluntary.
Bikini Samurai Squad is also good.
I humbly suggest Samurai Cop
https://youtu.be/L7oyfpKHvls
Also good. I see the sequel to Machine Girl is out on streaming too,. Brooks! Look at all these suggestions!
My company’s IT: Be careful with your password! Don’t use it on other sites. Make it impossible to remember without a password minder. Oh, too many attempts so we’re going to expire everyone’s password.
Also my company’s IT: let’s turn on password authentication at every system using MS SSO including every webpage but not pass authentication so the users are prompted dozens of times every day to enter their password and will quickly do so without checking what is popping up. Excellent!
I experienced that. Can they turn on fingerprint authentication at least?
I have to thumb my way in several times a day but that’s in addition to typing my password a few dozen times.
The whole “password” thing is so fucking broken it’s not funny. It does not scale.
I’m not an IT professional, but doesn’t that entirely defeat the whole purpose of SSO?
That having been said, just keep KeePassXC on a pen drive and set up autotype – you don’t even have to ctrl-c/ctrl-v at the password prompt.
Oh like the remember me box that does nothing?
π€¬
Is that like a thumb drive?
Prohibited on work machines.
One and the same, yes. It can be installed locally, if they’ll allow that. Or just go ultra-secure and store it in plain text in the browser…
I have my current work password pinned in my clipboard so I don’t have to type it in so many times.
Pat, I was asking about bug and camera detectors for use at hotel rooms and the like.
Any recommendations?
Sadly, I am more or less clueless on that front. I would think one of those handheld RF detectors would be able to sniff out most anything WiFi or NFC connected.
Also, I’m sure you already know this, but IR shows up as a green-ish flash on the viewfinder of a digital camera, so if you suspect there’s an IR camera hiding in a vent or electrical outlet or something along those lines, just aiming your phone’s camera at it will make the IR emitter visible.
LOL I’m traveling this weekend and now I have thoughts.

Heh thanks but my thoughts aren’t that deep.
Yet.
I’m still in the touch the mirror and see if it fully reflects your finger stage of the surveillance state.
Do a Goatse in front of the mirror. If you don’t hear any retching sounds, you’re in the clear.
“Someday, I will find the blind guy who transferred kung fu films to video and kick him in the nuts.”
No kidding, I found four different versions. All of them bad. There are at least three on YT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIL_-qpLOlY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqkatBCACWE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4xB_vYDOQk
Crap, I forgot about the 3 link rule and now “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”
Sadness.
There are three versions on YouTube, so I posted those.
Eh, just repost it with the links split up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIL_-qpLOlY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqkatBCACWE
It won’t let me post the third one.
Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be a good version of this movie.
Sad. Can you find Bikini Samurai Squad?
Is that the same movie?
No. But I would watch it with you and comment. I have to power to watch two movies at once. Itβs the googly eyes.
<==
Oh, I see. I looked it up. Apparently is based on a video game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDuP9-3P4QY
I’ll see if I can find a better version later.
Is Big Tits Zombie on Tubi yet?
Not yet. BUT⦠A ton of new material did hit, I have a half-dozen films on the watch list.
Although if the problem is that there isnβt a βgoodβ version, remember this was copied to digital through a screen door. Every copy will be fuzzy. Trivia – This is part of eight hours of footage shot for multiple films at the same time. The footage was randomly cut up and reassembled to make three separate films. Kind of like a Godfrey Ho tribute.
I’m thinking since it was 1986 the DVD is made from a VHS.
I got a DVD rip. I just think no one made a decent DVD in the first place.
Hey, RJ, a request. Can you find Little Fauss and Big Halsey for a flick? It was a staple of my shattered youth, going as far to call my biker buddy “Halsey”
I will look for it. If not on Tubi, it could be in Internet Archive.
I wouldn’t recommend doing that nowadays, he might think you’re referring to the abysmally shitty pop singer and kick your ass for it.
He (like me) probably has no idea who the hell that is.
Rumors have abounded for years that Robert Redford was so embarrassed that he tried to suppress distribution. I can’t find it on DirecTV.
I might even sit through my crap internet connection (5 seconds of video, 45 seconds of buffering) to watch it.
It’s available on Paramount+ if you’re a subscriber. And if not…
Cool link, bro
Thanks, Pat.
Well, fool me. Just checked again on satellite and there it is, two day rent for $4.
They Are Listeningβ¦
They are always listening.
If it weren’t for the stupid tattoos she would be absolutely gorgeous though.

Holy cow that is heinous. I wanted to check out the male eye-candy but the “music” got in the way.
Well well. The Dallas Stars (*spits*) are determined to keep things interesting. Itβs game 4, series at Knights 3, Stars 0. Stars just tied it at the end of the 2nd period, 2-2.
Same thing with the Celtics. Managed to not get swept, and how have an 18-point lead heading into the fourth quarter of Game 5.
That explains why slumbrew isn’t here.
Meh, I was watching the hockey (fine – I was watching Top Chef, _then_ I was watching hockey).
I’m indifferent to basketball.
It seemed nicer than saying you were furiously masturbating.

Now we’re getting somewhere.
Theming it! Yes!
I have half the set in a case on the wall. I just need to get the other half to complete the collection.
I was at a coworker’s retirement party. I’ll get to this movie over the weekend.
Thanks RJ!

If Bud Light had any sense, they would bring these commercials back.
No sense at all. Commercials increasingly are just social justice lectures. It will get a lot worse before it gets getter.
I left you a little something up top.
That was awesome. Thanks!

Wow. Blast from a by-gone era.

Speaking of streaming channels, today I got a Netflix email about sharing passwords outside of the household. Then a little later when I opened up Netflix on my TV, they asked to verify if this device is in the household (answer: yes). So my two step-daughters will probably have some difficulty using the account we shared with them.
It’s kind of annoying since I paid for the premium service, which includes streaming up to four devices at one time. Does it really cost Netflix anything more if the four streams are not in the same house?
Aye, Netflix has finally implemented their password sharing crackdown in the US and UK.
AFAIK they don’t cache content locally on your devices, so no, not really.
Think of it costing Netflix similar to how Democrats view tax cuts as costing the government.
In lost revenue yes.
Oopsie.
Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is probably wishing it didn’t sell nearly 1 million shares of Nvidia between early October and today following the chipmaker’s massive year-to-date surge of more than 160%.
Nvidia stock soared as much as 30% on Thursday after the company announced jaw-dropping guidance as it benefits from a wave of demand for its chipsets that support generative AI technology platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Alphabet’s Bard.
Cathie had a helluva run for a while, but things haven’t looks so rosy the last couple of years.
Wow! That’s quite a miss for a tech investor.
Um. Maybe he shouldn’t be your AG.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/gop-led-texas-panel-recommends-impeaching-state-ag-ken-paxton/
Call me cynical, but part of me wonders if his much-publicized court battles regarding the 2020 election and his having soundly thumped George P. Bush in the 2022 AG primary election might have anything to do with the the nature and timing of the investigation and allegations. If true, he sounds like a slimeball.
I think this is what it appears to be. I remember reading he went to the legislature to ask it/them to pay the settlement. Some members started asking why it was so much. That lead to more questions and the investigation that ensued. To top it off, it’s his inner circle that sued him.
They’ve got the full articles of impeachment up here. There definitely does seem to be some “there” there, although it looks like the type of slimeballery that would probably have been overlooked if he hadn’t pissed somebody off, and there’s probably some articles that may not stick in a trial where a defense is allowed to be put forth (I have no idea how the Texas senate conducts impeachment trials). His career’s done.
Heh, and then there was this from yesterday. What a shit show.
Well they did it. Teens officially graduated
“Congrats! Rent is due on the 1st.”
(seriously, congrats)
You ain’t wrong and thanks!
I moved out the morning I turned 18.
And congrats OWE. You’ve done good.
I left before I turned 18. My parents did offer one month after graduation before they would start charging rent.
Yeah, I left when I was 17, but on good terms, and I did eventually move back in.
I came back for “the college years” then left again.
Congrats, my son just graduated too (from Pre-K)!
Lol, now this is how you do story framing:
NYC tabloid tale of machete-wielding ‘woke’ professor ends in arrest
Aw, the poor dear.
The whole thing is a hoot.
Indeed. She’s the actual victim here.
Not even token bail. Still doing catch and release.

Also from the comments:
So the good news for Sensei is that would appear that open carry of a manchette would appear to be OK in NYC. Woot!
If and only if you are a leftwing nutjob.
Anyone else will get 5-10.
Curious how the left always seem to have lots of free time to pull stunts like this.
We have a lovely French-Canadian fellow that shores up our lives. I have no idea why he does such things but it is much appreciated. This feller is the boyfriend of the girl that is the sister of the boy that was the step-son that wound up marrying my step-daughter. 20 feet.
Who thinks motion smoothing makes anything look better? Anyone? Bueller?
Morning, Glibs.
βπ
How goes it?
Should be a good day. Things are good.
You?
Last workday before vacation, but it’s an office day, which I’d rather not.
I just hope I don’t get called out into the field. A cluster eff not of my making is going off during my telework days. Q.Q
Kayaderosseras match tomorrow!
What type?
I’m at the office, so I can’t pull up the club’s site.
Action Pistol.
π I still can’t do pistol matches. NY refuses to obey the law.
Good morning, U, Sean, Lack, and rhy.
Good morning GT.
Morning, how’s the π±βπ€?
Still not back to his old self, but last night and this morning got him to lick up some of the pureed cat treat goo. (Chicken-flavored, so… chicken soup for cats?) He’s getting around – at the moment he’s in the basement in his favorite spot on a patio-style loveseat. He has a follow-up appointment at the vet’s tomorrow morning, so we’ll see if there’s any unusual issues.
At least he’s improving. That’s good to hear.
Though I knida feel sorry for chickens being born with universal medicine in their bodies…
…and he just came upstairs – he may have used the litter. ππΌ
So.. are chickens the O-negative of the animal kingdom?
Mornin’.
How are you holding up using the patches in your attempt to wean from the nicotine? (And have you also considered the lozenges?)
Fine, thanks. Good enough that I am not motivated to cheat.
Mornings were a little rough so I switched to applying them before bed. π
I have not tried the lozenges and my understanding is you shouldn’t need an extra jolt while you’re on the patch.
Holiday weekend.
Time to get out of bed.

That’s always a good thing.
The people who love bear me are dumb and keep voting in odious people for the school boards.
(Hmmm…. Maybe Tonio can tell me what that means…)
I even proofread that. ‘Live near me…’
“Love bear me” sounds cuter than I’d actually find it.
I suspect auto-correct is becoming sentient…and at least mischievous if not downright evil.

NJ really is the worst. No alcohol on the beach.
NJ seems to be a consistently oppressive state, with a legacy of actually not that bad laws (at one point far in the past)
Ha expect more of this, I guess.
She should have refused the breathalyzer. I was watching some police interaction videos, NJ cops seem nasty.
Times have changed. Back in the late’70s we’d fire up joints while playing speed chess on the Belmar beach and no one batted an eyelash. Now you can get arrested for smoking a cigarette (joints are probably OK, though).
Clean water act ruling from yesterday’s links, kagan writing for the dissent: “The Court, rather than Congress, will decide how much is too much,β she said, adding, βthat is not how I think our government should work”
Maybe Congress should have defined a key term in the law then? Realistically they should have stricken the whole law for being unconstitutionally vague, because she IS correct that they’re making it up as they go in regards to what waters are included.
The rule should be that the waters only apply to waters that are currently navigable or have traditionally been navigable but have temporarily silted up.
Be sure to define “navigable” so some field rep with delusions of competency doesn’t say, “My little paper boat floats on it. Therefore, navigable.”
We start with what we want and rationalize how to get it.
If after 40+ years the courts, regulatory agencies and the elected executive can’t figure it out, just toss the whole thing and tell them to try again the right way. There really isn’t a clear definition.
My ideal response is “This is all beyond the defined remit of the federal government. Everyone at the agency is now on the unemployment line and this law is void”
Mornin all.
Good morning, OBE! And belated congrats for your teens’ accomplishment/milestone!
Mornin’, GT. Good to hear that LBC is on the mend.
Thanks, ‘patzie, and good morning!
Mornin’, OBE. Seconding (take that, Bro) what GT said, congrats.
Mornin’, reprobates!
And a reprobatin’ good morning to you.
Good week in Casa Patzer so far. Youngest Patzer got his sheepskin Sunday, summa cum laude Comp Sci/Philosophy, and the eldest spawn got a promotion. Nice birthday presents (I will be 3.5 score on Memorial Day).
