Considering you just posted about watching From Dusk til Dawn 2, I don't think you should be commenting on anyone else's viewing habits.

People who post about pro wrestling on the Internet don't get to call people uncool

When he became McCool.

Don't you have a Wade Barrett fan club to run, you know, somewhere else?

Based on the shirt I'd say 2010.

I don't have a dog here, but that flag was a bunch of bullshit there.

Nah. . .spread in most places was Panthers -6 or 7, and the Over/Under was at about 37.5. Teh gamblorz should have been fine regardless. Well I am sure there were 2nd Half Totals. Plus potential prop bets regarding a safety being scored. Not to mention anything that had to do based on the actual final score If someone was betting on this game, they have far more problems than what the final score was.

I'm glad there is some interest in the ROH idea. I will start a thread for it and do some general pimping this week, but I'll really be able to delve in once I get back from vacation on the 19th.

The word you're looking for is awesome. ;-)

The first time I watched Danielson/Cide, I thought it was boring. I was still in my MOVEZ~! phase and didn't appreciate the match. After seeing all the acclaim it got, I rewatched the match. I loved it and it totally expanded my wrestling palette. I recently did a couple of ROH-centric WrestleRevue podcasts, one focusing on the Joe/Punk trilogy and another focusing on the ROH/CZW feud. I actually didn't like the first Joe/Punk as much as I did when I first watched it back in 04. To me, it felt like they were trying to have a sixty minute match as opposed to having a match that just happened to go sixty minutes, if that makes sense. Their second and third matches were every bit as good as I remembered and I might have liked the third one even more than I originally did. The six man from the 100th show was incredible. I loved every second of it. Just a totally wild but ultra realistic brawl. Joe was tremendous (surprise!) in that match. I didn't like Cage of Death nearly as much as I did in 06. It picked up once Homicide entered the match but aside from Bryan's brilliant turn on Joe, I found at least half the match to be pretty uninteresting. I'm gonna pimp the first Bryan/Morishima match from Manhattan Mayhem II. That's arguably the best match I've ever seen live (Joe/Kobashi included). From the moment Bryan came out, the match had a big fight atmosphere the likes of which I've never experienced at a wrestling show. The psychology was great and the match was just out of this world. Bryan working it with a detached retina for a significant portion of the match made it all the more impressive.

Ugh. Shut up.

I just want to know where in the fuck you guys have the will power or time to watch these goddamn hour/hour and half matches. It's one thing to watch a movie that has characters, music, different scenes etc etc. but to watch vanilla midgets do a bunch of shit that doesn't mean anything until the last 5 minutes seems like a total waste of time.

It already looks like Kidd & Cesaro are working Itami & Balor at the next NXT special...

Both teams are eliminated, and the team in waiting gets a bye.

Since it's Japan, I'm assuming it has something to do with a tentacle and the "bad touch".

I've got wings in the oven and twice baked potato skins in the fridge ready to go. My Cam jersey is clean. On the couch with my feet up. I'm ready to go.

WHY CAN I ONLY LIKE THIS POST ONCE?

For the people who still want to believe Back to the Future II will be the prediction, consider the following: We saw in the "original" BttF timeline: George didn't punch Biff. He was taking orders from Biff even in the current timeline, Biff was a big deal (and we know nothing of Biff's family). Marty goes back to 1955: Biff was a BMOC, and he and some of his goons were in varsity jackets (giving proof- Biff had enough athletic ability to make a Hill Valley sports team.) George punches Biff, we get an alternate 1985, Biff is subservient to George (no knowledge of his family as well- but even one punch doesn't change that, even if George McFly's punch ruined Biff's high school career, Biff, at one point in his life, had athletic ability.) 30 years later, Marty goes to 2015, where Biff is unknown for his own status since then, but he is still bitter with how his own life has gone- but with a time machine, his first idea for it to fix his own life is "make money by betting on sporting events" (so, sports is very important to even the older Biff as his way of life- and he is a bitter jerk even in 2015). He takes the sports almanac, goes to 1955, and changes history and obliterates that 2015 solely to make sure he, himself, had a great life, with no knowledge of the endgame of this change...but his life in those 30 years from 1985 to 2015 outside of working for George McFly is unknown, with the only clue: He views sports as his way to make money and had athletic ability, which was deferred. Conclusion: In the Back to the Future world, Biff Tannen's destiny was to be the father of the Chicago Cubs player who led them to win the 2015 World Series (Yes, Tannen's kids were also arrested to replace Marty's kids- but it doesn't mean he didn't have other kids.) . Because Biff stole the sports almanac in order to make "his own" life better, that 2015 never happened, but Biff had his own glory instead and didn't care. ...so, sorry Cubs fans, you're not winning next year either. Blame Biff Tannen for this one. (Yes, this may be insane troll logic- but so is the Cubs winning a World Series.)

Taker could start a swing band and still be the coolest. Married people do lame shit, that is just how it is.

Well, then he wouldn't be Josh Smith. . . . .

Has there been 25 King of the Mountain matches yet? I vote for all those

AUHGD:ODIF :EF L>MSD FUCK. I had tried to forget that.

Just pretend like Orcs have really bad eye sight. I mean they are Orcs, maybe everything past 10 feet looks like a tree.

Good thing he coached Tony Dungys team to a title cause Tony wasn't going to do it

I'm deeply concerned you thought Gruden was good at one point. The longer he's been on TV the more it raises questions about how he ever coached a team to a Superbowl. Or ties his shoes in the morning.

That would make a great quest name for Borderlands actually

Hey it's all speculation so I wouldn't be surprised if that's correct. But from what I've read it's supposed to be a Destiny 1.5 with a ton of additional content. The photo does support that as well. It's a timeline photo that shows Destiny, it's expansions, Comet, and it's expansions. I doubt it would be part of a timeline to just show a release of Destiny packaged with the first two expansion packs included. Not to mention the release dates. House of Wolves drops in March with Comet set to drop in September with the next two expansions set for after that. With only three months between expansions I and II, I seriously doubt it would be 9+ months between expansion II and the next expansion. It makes sense that it's a six month break if the next content is a more massive expansion.

We got to stop with the "no personality" narrative. Are you fuckers expecting fighters to be mid-80s Roddy Piper? Just stop for the sake of sanity.

Thread is up. I'm sure that we can find matches through.....means. I have about 100 of the ROH shows from 2004-2009 on DVD, and I will be able to help some if necessary.

i am interested in seeing Jones face the winner of Gus/Rumble. i am not interested in seeing Cormier fight because, for the most part, he's not very interesting. the Jones "feud" seems to give him a personality when before he didn't have any.

30-person Freemode's ass. Every time we end up in a scrum of 3 other players or above, I'm cussing constanly in my mind. A 20-person scrum? Forget it. I hate that feeling of "OK, both these guys could shoot me. If I go after one, it's very likely the other is going to shoot me." Yeah, I'd love to plunk down about $400 to feel that way more often. I joyously hit upon a great new racket - red gang cars. I had heard about them, but never gotten one until yesterday. There's a 10-car garage in the Southeast corner of the map kinda near the Simeon garage docks. If you drive a Peyote into this walled-off area right off the road near the other side of the garage, there might be a red gang Peyote tucked behind a junked bus. This gave me the idea to buy that garage. So I sold my garage near the airport and bought that one. So I got on this incredible roll where I drove my Peyote over to where the red cars spawn. There was a red car. So I'd drive it literally across the road to my new garage, go back out on foot and go over to my car again, where another red car would be waiting for me. So I'd drive it over to the garage, walk back over, get another one, etc. Got five straight this way until I ran out of room in the garage. And the best part is that no one ever shot at me. Ever. No exciteable gang dudes. I do think they only spawn in the daytime, but it's easy money. RUkered, you cannot believe how much I hate people who play music in the game chat. Robert and I used the "friends and crew" game chat last night after having trouble with XBox Live. It sounds a little distant, but fine. One guy last night was fairly tough, and would not give up. I think he finished up on me 27-22. I got my ass kicked a lot worse last night, but I hate those drawn-out battles. He had a buddy who was pretty much nothing. When the tough guy left, it was like you could sense the other dude say "oh shit" as he took cover amid a hail of gunfire and RPGs from Robert and I. Then he finally tried to run and got shot. I told Robert "he won't be here much longer," and he was gone.

Mid-life crisis Sasuke is the gift that keeps on giving.

you don't put Reigns over Rusev on Smackdown Of course not. I think the argument is you dont book a potential future ppv main event as a throwaway Smackdown match. Also if you want Reigns to be the man you book him like he is the man. Not against guys who you wont put him over, or going 50/50 with the beyond stale Big Show.

I want more fun goofy shit to do in Destiny so I'm hoping Comet does that.

Is it the blank screen issue? Its something weird with the cookies/cache. Clear everything out and it should fix.

Oh boy, a Desperado singles match, just what I always wanted.

Taken from a Cracked Photoplasty contest. . .

I guess I might as well put some commentary on my picks: 25. Knights of Badassdom (2013, Joe Lynch): this movie's infamous behind-the-scenes problems do leak onto the screen every now and then, with some jarring tonal shifts and rough pacing and unfinished-looking special effects. Summer Glau spends most of the film with a "what the hell am I doing here?" look on her face, and fans of Peter Dinklage and especially Danny Pudi will probably be real pissed off at how little those guys are actually in this movie, considering how heavily billed they are. But all in all, I still liked this films DIY spirit and grungy charm. We get too damn few non-amateur insider films about geek culture, and this movie manages to celebrate the joy of LARPer culture even while mercilessly satirizing it. 24. Man of Steel (2013, Zack Snyder): "Waaah, Superman isn't supposed to KILL General Zod, waaah!" Except, of course, all those times he totally killed General Zod. He's done that at least twice in the mainstream-canon comics, total deliberate premeditated murder. Also, did y'all whiners just totally forget Christopher Reeve smugly tossing Terence Stamp to his death at the end of Superman 2? Anywho, this was a tolerable reboot for the franchise; not a great one, but it was at least trying really hard to do something different from the previous films. An overqualified cast brought a sense of dignity to the proceedings, and I appreciated the film's attempts to dig deeper than usual into Kal-El's personality. 23. Hondo (1953, John Farrow): nowhere near John Wayne's greatest Western, but interesting enough. It's the first of Wayne's films to actually have some Indians who have their own distinct personalities, rather than just being seen as a horde of anonymous savages. The middle part of the film deals with some legit interesting complications, with the Duke being mighty uncertain about what to do in situations where gunfire might not solve everything so simply. Too bad it tosses it all out the window with a bewilderingly abrupt third act that resolves absolutely nothing. 22. The Wolverine (2013, James Mangold): well, it's a hell of a lot better than the LAST two X-men films before this. It's sort of a Greatest Hits highlight real for everything Wolverine's known for doing in Japan. It's got nowhere near the depth and soul of Bryan Singer's entries in this franchise, but the action is decent enough and it doesn't fuck anything up too bad, which is good enough for government work. 21. Chimes at Midnight (1965, Orson Welles): Welles doing Shakespeare is often a mixed bag; he usually had nightmarish productions which even Terry Gilliam would have balked at, shooting these films in bits and pieces over the course of several years. This film is basically The Life Of Falstaff, sewn together from selections of five different Shakespeare plays. The result is uneven as hell (John Gielgud appears to have had his lines dubbed over by, well, not John Gielgud, which is outright blasphemy) but at least we've got Welles acting his fat ass off as the drunken old knight, and the cinematography is just as spectacular as you'd expect from perhaps history's greatest visual master of moving pictures. 20. Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001, Shusuke Kaneko): a damn weird little film. How weird? Godzilla is the heel, and fuckin' Ghidorah is the babyface. Yes, seriously. THAT takes some getting used to; especially since Gojira is particularly sadistic in this movie, seemingly going out of his way to kill as many people as he possibly can. Still, this movie has better-than-average monster fights and FX work, which is always greatly appreciated. And for once the damn Japanese army isn't completely useless, a nice change of pace from normal. 19. Die, Monster, Die! (1965, Daniel Haller): please ignore that awful title. This should be probably called H.P. LOVECRAFT'S THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE, STARRING BORIS KARLOFF. Despite being somewhat loosely translated from Lovecraft's original story, it's still oddly one of the more faithful-in-spirit adaptations of his work. It's also one of the few not-produced-by-Roger-Corman movies that Boris made in the 60s that was actually pretty good. 18. Jane Eyre (2011, Cary Fukunaga): Michael Fassbender. Mia Wasikowska. Unrequited love in a gloomy Gothic mansion. What do you need, a road map? Made by the guy who directed the entire first season of True Detective. I hope I need say no more. This adaptation also thankfully spends much more time on some of the subplots and minor characters who usually go neglected in most filmed versions of Charlotte Bronte's novel, which is a nice change of pace from the typical Cliff Notes approach to adapting thick old books to the big screen. 17. The Big Bird Cage (1972, Jack Hill): one of the great sleazy women-in-foreign-prisons flicks of that era, starring no less than Pam Grier and Sig Haig. Yet underneath all the scummy grindhouse sexploitation and crass homophobic stereotypes, there's a shockingly well-made little thriller and ensemble character study about a bunch of people stuck together in a mutual hellhole and trying to make the best of it. 16. Machete Kills (2013, Robert Rodriguez): okay, what you've gotta understand about this movie is that it's actually NOT a live-action film. Oh yeah, it does seem to involve a camera being pointed at real live human beings. But it's really just a cartoon. This is practically a Road Runner short, stretched out to feature length and made gloriously R-rated. It's much loonier and more ludicrous than the first Machete, which I'd argue is a definite step up. It's also got one of the all-time great WTF bizarro-world casts: "and co-starring Walton Goggins, Cuba Gooding Jr, Lady Gaga, and Antonio Banderas all playing the same character", believe it or not. 15. The Dead 2: India (2013, Howard Ford & Jonathan Ford): This followup to 2010's The Dead retains all the down-to-earth realism of that zombie movie, while working on a somewhat larger canvas. This is a thinking man's franchise but with a blue-collar theme to it, with situations that are way more plausible than the average zombie flick. You'll rarely (if ever) want to scream at the protagonists in these films for doing something dumb, as they try to quickly find rational solutions to unbelievable problems in a world gone mad. 14. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963, Stanley Kramer): one of those epic race-across-America movies they don't really make anymore. I'd say it's not as good as The Great Race, but better than any of Burt Reynolds's attempts at the same. See the DVDVRMC thread for more details. 13. Labor Day (2013, Jason Reitman): Reitman turns the volume down a notch in this gentle and sensitive not-exactly-a-romcom, making a film which is refreshingly less quirky and gimmicky than his previous efforts. Kate Winslet is a lonely single mom who is kinda-sorta forced into harboring a fugitive Josh Brolin. This is in some ways the world's most low-key thriller, with the main conflict being just how to hide this guy in a house for a week without anyone discovering him. It's got one of the most oddly sensual a-man-ties-up-a-woman scenes in history; oddly because it's done so that Winslet's character can claim to be a unwilling victim in case Brolin's presence is discovered, and sensual because the body language and the mise-en-scene make it very damn clear that this is the first time any man has touched her in long years and she's practically swooning at the simple primitive joy of physical human contact. It's a lot better than I'm making it sound, with great acting all around. 12. Snowpiercer (2013, Joon-ho Bong): I thought this one was mildly overrated by many (a score of 95% at Rottentommatoes seems a wee bit high), but it's still a cracking good action movie with social commentary to spare. An unrecognizable Chris Evans leads an international all-star cast in this postapocalyptic tale of humanity's last survivors, all stuck on a massive train which is ruled with a strict caste system. At times, this almost feels like a Jean-Pierre Jeunet production, all crazy steampunk production design and oddball misfit characters. But the director (same dude who did the Korean The Host) keeps things much more brutal and grim than most of Jeunet's stuff, and it's just as much a kung-fu flick as it is a dystopian parable. Tilda Swinton's incredibly weird performance is worth the price of admission all by itself, as she takes a part that was originally written for John C. Reilly and somehow turns it into a creepily sympathetic caricature of Margaret Thatcher. 11. 3:10 to Yuma (1957, Delmer Daves): the original version is much slower and less action-y than the 2007 remake; this isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it lets us get a much closer look at our two lead characters and doesn't waste any time on extraneous subplots. The bonding between the captured outlaw and his reluctant jailer is much more ambivalent in the original version; Dan Evans doesn't trust Ben Wade one little bit, and they don't become nearly as chummy as Christian Bale and Russel Crowe did in their more generic take on this concept. The story beats are all basically the same in both versions, but the minor details and the overall tone is very different. I think I actually like the old one better, even though it sadly features 100% less Alan Tudyk. DAMN that took a while to write, I'll do the final top 10 later.

Donatello nut shotting himself is by far and away the best part of this

God Sheri was such a good worker. Shame she died so young.

Speaking of older school rpgs, you know what remains one of the most fun video game experiences of my life, well over 20 years later? The original Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest.

Main Event Miz was good.

Rupert Murdoch owns SKY TV. Dick Murdoch owns the actual sky, and everything beneath it.

I think if you wrapped Roman Reigns up in toilet paper it would make him 100 times more interesting.

I think Cumberbatch is an inspired choice.

The quote from the guy who put that on Youtube is "It's like his eyes are crying out - "Please... somebody... help me."" I never thought I'd seen the Rooster stuff until I watched that promo and then it clicked -- I saw that on TV when I was a kid! I remember just thinking "that guy is so lame". I must've been six at the time and still thought that.
