So I was watching this old movie a kickboxing instructor gave me with my brother and his friend. And we're alternately falling asleep or Mystery Science Theater-ing it or looking for something to read because the movie is nigh incomprehensible and barely worthy of being labeled a martial arts movie (more like, one horribly confusing, barely visible hundered person brawl after another). In any case, the interesting part was that at totally random moments, the scene would shift to to white guys (playing pool apparently) who weren't being dubbed, and who appeared to be having innocuous if stilted conversations about the benefits of being in the military, or how one should get their insurance checked with the correct officer on base. It was very confusing to us, so if anyone's ever heard of that....(we were figuring movie made in 1969, so Vietnam war?)

I don't know if this would hold true, but it sure seemed to be the rule of thumb in the pool hall tonight that at any given time if you looked around, there would be at least one person (of either sex, whatever) looking at you (probably a function of the number of people in there? it seemed kind of eerie at the time). And very obese women with boobs falling out hitting on skinny Asian guys is funny.
