I think that thing's on the SW Blu-Rays.

(No, I don't own said set of blu-rays. I borrowed it from a friend to get ahold of the bonus features. Which were very much dissapointing, I'm afraid)

What's the point of this?

Well you see Lamer, the thread is entitled, "Cool Videos," and while I agree that cool is a subjective term, I found the video to be cool. 

If you're asking a broader question as to why the Dog Brothers host their regular gathering events, that's a longer answer.  The Dog Brothers train and teach in many of the filipino Martial Arts.  Most filipino martial arts involve heavy use of weapons, specifically staff, stick, knife, chain, and whip.  Arts like Eskrima, Kali, Arnis, and Silat all emphasize use of weapons in close quarter combat.  Now, in most martial arts if you want to spar, it's easy.  You simply throw on some gloves, some pads, and go to town.  If you want to take it to full contact 2 way live sparring, that's where cups, mouthpieces, and head gear come into play.  If you want to compete and test your abilities, there's many avenue's to do so.  But for people who train in weapons, your avenues to live test your skills are limited.  About 20 years ago, the Dog Brothers started hosting their gathering events in various Martial Arts schools through southern california.  I went to a couple back in 99.  They were as close to a real fight club as I've ever seen.  Rules and weapons are agreed upon beforehand, and while no one wants to go ot the hospital, as it is said in the beginning of the video, only you are responsible for you. 

Everyone I met at the gathering was about as nice and gracious of a person as you could possibly construct.  In fact, the nicest people I have ever known, were the ones who knew what a real ass kicking felt like.  To further this whole question as to why, I shall post another video I think is really cool.   This was taken at my jiu jitsu school the night Joe Rogan got his black belt in Jiu Jitsu.  Jump to 4:13 of the video.

Heh. Cool.

Good old Patrick Boivin

I love Honest Trailers. All of that was spot on

First-ever release of all original series music, including music that never made it to any episode:

Have no idea what this is, but it could be an awesome piece of sci-fi:

Could this turn out to be what we wanted Sunshine to be?
Those Europa shots look soooo pretty

Visuals look better than Apollo 18, and it's got Sharlto Copley for what it's worth. I can't imagine he'd sign on for something as stupid as rock monsters.

The concept of Apollo 18 was not what made it terrible, it was the execution. And Europa is waaaay cooler than the moon for what that's worth.
