  5. I think I like this Ambrose fella. "A lot of people talk about the attitude era being so great but a lot of it was terrible crap, sex jokes and over-the-top terrible bad comedy. It was Jerry Springer-like. They made a joke about a woman's breasts. Hilarious, but where's the wrestling? I look back on a lot of stuff now, and I'm like where's the wrestling? It's just a lot of crappy jokes." - Dean Ambrose

  12. The Harts sound like the most insufferable people in the world. No wonder the Kliq were dicks to them. Owen sounds like he was a pretty good guy though.

  13. Have your heard who he is married to? The guy has to listen to that voice all the damn time. Not to mention the signature 'I'm a Hart, I deserve everything because we Harts are the bestest best people EVER!!" mentality the Harts have developed over the years.. I hate/love this show too.

  24. I think we really need to retire the internet fans vs. casual fans thing. It's 2014, almost everyone has internet access. Ambrose gets reactions from everyone, not just some isolated portion of the audience.

  33. Revisited two old favorites, CANDYMAN and FRIDAY 13th Part 3 (this mainly because I finally have a 3D viewable version!) I know this is not new to anyone but I don't think I've ever really appreciated before this viewing how well-made CANDYMAN is. Clive Barker is really good at the basic premise and at touching on different issues beyond the main "slasher" themes of youth/mortality/destiny/punishment. In CANDYMAN we get a setting rich with such connotations. the lead is an explorer (academic, yes) who is pushy and obnoxious and overly ambitious for good reason - she is surrounded by asshole men in an academic environment that conspires to thwart her ambitions - the petty affairs and conspiracies of fat-cat professors. But she herself is not free of sin...she is not seeking to undermine that system but to join the fraternity, by exploiting the history and fears of others, by mirthfully mocking "the folk" and by making a name for herself. It gives us a complex and adult character with complex and adult relationships in place of the level of "smoke pot, touch boobs, get stabbed" that we normally exist at (ironically, a banal observation that has made the careers of any number of film-studies academics just like Helen who claim to understand the "dark corners" of our cultural mind without really delving deeper than the veneer of a few exploitation movies. Throw in the intersection of the "enlightened" white liberal academic with the setting of Cabrini Green, symbol of the failure of mid-century social theory...throw in the idea of a population so marginalized that their reality becomes bound up in myth...it's such deeper water than usual, but puts that all out there slyly without screaming about it. And it all could have gone wrong in so many ways and didn't. It's remarkable how not shitty it is. So apart from whatever flim-flam supernatural connection exists between Helen and Robitaille, their real connection is that they are both feeding on that cultural mind in different ways. Neat. And so when she encounters yet another shallow "feeder," Dr. Burke who has also made his career using cheap theory to pretend to understand the dark corners of other people's lives, with her now in the position of "subject," her now the "girl in the projects" being poked at by an institutional "explorer," she recognizes and recoils from that feeling and for the first time wields her own power on purpose. It's a great scene. One of many in this movie. I forgot the scene in the project where the child is taken. Fucking pushing it, man. And then the examination scene that follows. Really disturbing. Not just Barker, though but also director Bernard Rose. He treats this story like a historical epic. He gives it the same kinds of beautiful framing shots and aims for the same weight of myth that he would in something so much more respectable as IMMORTAL BELOVED. He finds ways for the "personal" scenes between her and he despicable husband (who looks disturbingly like Joel Hodgson!) to be more than just patter-filler, but to have the tone of something important. The scene in their apartment when she confronts him and his new girl is one of the best scenes non-scare in any horror movie ever made. It means something. It ends with her saying "It's over." But seriously, Joel! "Hey, sirs! On this week's invention exchange I've invented a new life for myself with a younger graduate student. Also, a combination whoopee cushion/colostomy bag for those moments when a giant hook is tearing through your bowels, but you don't want to be a downer about it...Whoooo!" So many masterful bits of effect too. Candyman floating over her is scary and looks great. The bee shots are fantastic, when they are coming out of him and going into her. This was all practical effects, I guess and it was so skillful. The dead eyes of all the cops and orderlies when she suddenly instantly finds herself on the other side of institutions of discipline and punishment, herself singled out for unfair prosecution without anyone listening to her, just like him. His sales pitch to her is great too. He offers her a kind of vampirism. Immortality, but only if she agrees to shed innocent blood. An eternal life that is only real as long as it is supported by fear. Funny that what he is, and what she becomes, is something Freddy Krueger-like. This is basically NIGHTMARE for adults. I could go on, I think. Shot by shot there is so much rich detail here. I haven't even touched on Philip Glass' score which is itself, okay...standard Glass, but wielded so deftly by the editing process. Such basic musical symbols (choir for "epicness", piano for "sentimentality", repetition to match the various patterns that show up in the movie...like the great opening shots where the highways of Chicago appear like the blood-transporting arteries of a body, preparing us for other such images, his mouth as an entryway into plumbing pipes). Goddamn, this is a fun movie to think about.

  34. Just found this little tidbit on Gerweck.net. If nothing else, she has the best possible role model for what not to do. (With the exception of David Benoit.)

  35. I think comics would be so much better if we never had Frank Miller. He inspired so much doom and gloom and "realism," and the original work isn't good enough to be worth all the stuff he inspired.

  41. My favorite Dusty quote was from Starrcade 96. The Brain was talking about how if DDP just hooked the middle rope, he could have leverage on an abdominal stretch and the ref couldn't see it b/c it was the middle and not the top rope. Dusty pauses and goes, "dat's cheatin....dat's cheatin but dat's good!" My friends and I quoted that for ages.
