Lamb Shoulder

I started to type in a title and it suggested a lot of weird things. I went with Lamb Shoulder, as you can see. So let's discuss them!
Ok, aside from the fact that I know nothing of them, let's say I'm an expert.
The lamb shoulder is the least juicy of lamb meats to eat, but makes fantastic jerky. Less common uses for it are: making lamb shoulder baseball gloves, cat diapers, alternative low power source, walker bottoms (in place of tennis balls) and ghost repellent.
Anyway, I just remembered what I was gonna write about originally. This pretty cool lookin movie called 2009 Lost Memories. Three hours of non martial arts, weak shoot out action. Oh wait, I should have said 2 hours of political time traveling Japanese/Korean cultural nonsense, with one hour of bad gun scenes. It seems as though even the director got bored of the movie and slapped a quick ending together that skipped over so much. Probably because they spent so much film and budget on the other scenes that were oh-so crucial. Like the 2 minutes where the protagonist is crying in the middle of a massive shootout, but somehow nobody hits him. Or even tries to shoot him. Or the scene where the rebel snaps after seeing his friend shot and goes agro on a museum with some kinda chain gun. ANGRY ASIAN FACE AND YELLLLIIIINNNG!! Yeah, for 700+ bullets. We get the point.
As I'm sure you're getting the point. Don't bother watching it. Instead go watch Kung-Fu Hustle. Slapstick dark comedy with fun, great martial arts! Or if you prefer Cowboy martial arts shoot outs with swords and guns and treasure and rival gangs try out Suki-Yaki Western Django.
Time to go pretend to be a grown up and do grown up things.
