Well, a cross eyed penguin will do that to ya. Worse than uninstalling HP printer software (apologies to Hazelnut...irritating subject I know). I'm still looking for the perfect Christmassy desktop.

Moderators DennisD Posted December 6, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm still looking for the perfect Christmassy desktop. I'm looking for Christmassy avatars. We can't stick a tree up or hang decorations, but a few seasonal avatars around the forum would brighten the place up and give it that "best time of the year" feeling. I await with bated breath, although I'm not holding it for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek891 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Tasgandy I've noticed that most of your artwork involves people wielding swords. I was wondering if you are a fan of the "Zatoichi" series of movies from Japan. Just the other night I watched "Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman", which was made in 1989 and was the last movie made by Shintaro Katsu, the original Zatoichi. I've also seen the 2003 remake "Zatoichi" with Takeshi Kitano in the title role. Both are great movies. Here's a still with Shintaro Katsu: The reason I brought this up is that the young lady in your artwork and Zatoichi have something in common: they both hold their swords with a reverse grip. Start every day with a smile and get it over with. - W.C. Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek891, "they both hold their swords with a reverse grip". Well done Squire that's a real keen eye you have for detail and not noticed by me. I have recently watched and enjoyed "The Blind Swordsman" not sure which version as I did not capture that one and can not go back a take a look. I'm not necessarily a fan of "Zatoichi" movies but more of a fan of "sword wielding" and "warrior" class of movies from Japan or similar, we tend to get a good supply down under in Aus on our free to air "SBS" TV station, Australia's multicultural and multilingual broadcaster. A couple of my favourite movies to keep your eyes out for are "The Lost Bladesman" and "Demon Empire" you will enjoy them both if you have not already watched them.

LuLu Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Lulu's always been frond of Palm trees.

LuLu Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 bugger me!, where's the tree - all I see is a croquembouche of Christmas baubles. Yeah and that's not even all of them. Mom has ALWAYS made sure the tree is chock full of ornaments. And it is...even though we still have one crate full of ones we didn't use, plus some floating around the storage unit we didn't touch. :blink: I'm here. What are your other two wishes?

Moderators mta Posted December 9, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 9, 2013 Damn, that thing must have a titanium trunk. And I dread to think of the time it takes... I'd post a shot of mine but jeez, it pales into insignificance. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

I'd post a shot of mine but jeez, it pales into insignificance. Believe it or not, it takes us all of an hour or so to do it, maybe not even that long. It really depends on how much we goof off in between hanging the ornaments. The lights take the longest...especially when you have 4 strands decide not to work for no good reason. But I won't get started on that little problem. Post your tree! I'd love to see it. I bet it's beautiful! I'm here. What are your other two wishes?

I recommend "Rurouni Kenshin (2012)" as a good watch. Good story and great cinematography, the first few scenes are particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 How's it hold up to the original anime/manga? I loved those, but I didn't know there was a live action film based on them. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted December 11, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2013 I knew it stemmed from a series, but I've never been a Manga fan so haven't seen any of that series. All I can say is that being a fan of traditional Samurai movies, I rate it very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
