   Tonight's movie night movie will be, "Baahubali: The Beginning (2015)." This is something new and different for us - we've not tried any Indian movies before. I ran across some clips of this (and its sequel) online and it looked like a totally over the top action movie kind of vibe with some terrifically good reviews so we're all looking forward to some action fun. It's a long one, though - nearly 3 hours!

     @bigzaphod the song track is pretty great. I had their theme song as my ringtone for years

     Baahubali: The Beginning is amazing. It's so over the top and ridiculous while being totally engrossing. It's like a video game cutscene come to life. The whole thing. It's like watching a dream of a comic book. Part Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, part 300, part low budget early 2000s straight to home video fantasy adventure, part big budget summer blockbuster, part Lord of the Rings.

     I don't really know how to describe this movie. It's great. I mean, how could you not love a scene like this?
