Amazing!

Knowing this company, it'll just be leftovers from WWF New York that were kept well beyond their expiration date.

I would disagree with cookie cutter. The material he's given is, but he has clearly taken the time to do the training to figure out how to make it effective. Cookie cutter in WWE would be to treat those lines like HHH with long pauses (to remember the next bit) in between and lots of heavy breathing and silent staring. Miz does none of that. The amazing thing I find about his promos is this momentum they have. he always starts off smug like "I'm a bullshit heel whose going to lie through his face right now and we all know I don't mean any of it and I'm just a fake asshole." But then at some point he hits a moment where his own bullshit hits a truth that really does bother him and at that point he gets really emotional and loses his temper for real and it all starts to feel a lot more free-wheeling even though it's probably tightly scripted. That, my friends, is called "acting" and that, in the WWE, is a special thing.

Michael Cole with quite possibly the dumbest announcing ever: "It's KANE! But why is he here?!?" To get revenge for his brother you stupid fuck. This shit ain't difficult to figure out.

Meanwhile, on Smackdown, it's the fans that are walking out.

Easy: Miz reads lines while Enzo inhales them.

Russo is probably the only wrestling heel where his real-life personality is turned DOWN to be palatable for TV.

The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown vs. Chewbacca

Ambrose and Rollins work together so much better than apart. I hope they never split them again.

It finally got a re-release from Synapse. I'll have to check it out on Youtube; I loved loved loved that movie when I was a kid. It's like a horror version of Matinee.

One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news. It was embarrassing for my relatives and all. But the next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room. So I run into him a week later at the mall and he was buying another cat! And I said to him, "Jesus, Walt, what are you doing? You know you're just gonna get this cat stuck in your ass, too. Why don't you knock it off?" And he said to me, "Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out?" My cousin was a weird guy.

I envision Impact Pizza being a restaurant for the wrestlers to work at between tapings to help make ends meet.

Children of evil, sons of night, and daughters of darkness the evil is loose, the evil is loose!!!! Film: Popcorn Chosen by: Nate This is one of those film that tried to ride the "slasher with the scarred face" wave that was kicked off by the success of "Nightmare of Elm Street". Add to that one of my favorite conceits in genre film - the fake film within a film (and three of them, no less!)- and you've got the ingredients for one of my favorite early '90s horror films. Reviewed by: driver This little gem from 1991 stars Jill Schoelen as Maggie. At the time Schoelen was the go to actress for B horror. In this movie Schoelen has a look that reminds me of Winona Ryder in "Beetlejuice". Anyways back to the review. Maggie is a college student and the she has a nightmare to begin the film. A student in her film class states that "Police Academy 5 has more character development than anything Ingmar Bergmann ever did." Okay. Sure why not. Her class goes to a film theater that is soon to be shutdown and demolished. It was once a library. Seems that every building was something else when it was built. The class decides to put on an all night film festival in "Projectovision". Ray Walston turns up as a the owner of a shop that has all of the gimmicks needed to pull off the festival. There is a nice "training montage" of the class getting the theater into shape for their festival. A reggae tune called "Saturday Night At The Movies" plays during the montage. During the screening of a movie(Possessor) Maggie passes out. The professor tells the tale of how "Possessor" came to be and that the director filmed all of the scenes except for the final one, which he performed live on stage during the movie's premiere. Maggie goes to her motherDee Wallace Stone) and asks if she had ever heard of "Possessor", Lanyard Gates. Her mother begs her to drop out of the festival and that she will get tickets so that they can go away on a vacation instead. The mother, Suzanne, receives a phone call from a mysterious voice saying that they need to meet and talk. She goes to the Dreamland theater where bulbs burst on the marquee and the glass falls at her feet. As she walks into the theater she finds Lanyard Gates face on the screen. The screen goes blank and Stone is left wandering around in the dark with a revolver as strange sounds come at her from all sides. She is snatched and pulled off into the dark. Cut to the opening of the film festival where almost every customer is wearing a mask or in a complete costume. A longhaired man in a cowboy hat steps up to the window where Maggie is selling tickets and tosses some crumpled up bills on the counter. As she takes the money and he steps away she hears the voice from her nightmare and the same one from her mom's phone call. She immediately leaves the ticket booth and begins following him. The first film to be shown is "The Mosquito". Highlight of this black and white film-within-a-film is a car being attacked by the titular beast and a man getting a skeeter needle into the top of his head and having everything sucked from his dome until all that is left is an empty husk. Later as the mosquito is being attacked by the military a giant mosquito flies out from behind the screen and over the crowd, which freaks out. The scene ends with the student who had been controlling the skeeter getting impaled when some nefarious ne'er do well uses his own remote to gain control of the beast. The film is directed by Mark Herrier. He is probably best known for his role as Billy in "Porky's". This was his only feature directing job, other than directing a few shorts in the Otts, he hasn't done much and his last acting credit was in '01. The second movie with in the movie is "The Attack of the Amazing Electrified Man", which has a gimmick known as "Shock-o-Scope"(which is a buzzer under a seat that shocks the seat's occupant when a button is pushed). Tina is the second to be done away with when she asks her professor for a quicky up in the catwalk. Maggie and her boyfriend run into dead Tina, but the killer disguises his voice and Tina's and moves her body around so that Maggie and her bf think Tina is still alive. The next person(the guy controlling the buzzers under the seats) is killed when "Tina" walks up behind him and binds him to his chair. As the Electrified Man kills people onscreen and people get shocked in their seats Buzzer Controller is electrocuted as he desperately tries to unplug wires from the console. After the second film ends a reggae band takes the stage and rocks the house so much the audience really gets into it. Okay they didn't rock the house, it just seemed like they did. As the reggae band is onstage Maggie runs into the killer who calls her "Sarah" and says it's time for her to rejoin her mother. Understandably Maggie takes off running and the killer lumbers after her. Cut to Maggie's nightmare replaying. Cut to Maggie running and bumping into another student(Toby) from her class. Cut to the reggae band on stage again. Volume cuts out. Found this on Youtube. At least this version isn't dubbed in Hungarian. And we have sound again. Maggie tells Toby that her name isn't Maggie, but Sarah Gates, and that Landon Gates is her father, and that Suzanne was really her aunt and not her mother. And Gates has come back to "finish the film" by killing her on stage. Reggae band IS STILL on stage and Gates has captured Maggie/Sarah. The reggae band is FINALLY done and the third movie with in a movie starts(this time the gimmick is AROM-A-RAMA!!!!). The killer reveals himself to be Toby or any other multitude of people due to his extensive collection of masks. Toby says that Gates really died during the original performance and that he had been sitting in the front row when Suzanne shot and killed Gates. His mother was a member of Lanyard's cult. Toby suffered extensive scarring from burns received in the fire and he demonstrates to Maggie/Sarah what he goes through on a daily basis to "look normal". Toby is waiting for midnight to "finish the film" and it is revealed that Suzanne is still alive. She is bound and strapped to a contraption directly across from Maggie/Sarah. Toby goes out into the crowd, next thing I know he's on stage with Maggie/Sarah preparing for "The Big Finale". As the original movie plays on the screen, Toby acts out it backstage perfectly mimmicking Lanyard Gates' movements. Cut to a scene of Mark climbing the marquee, the curtain opens and Maggie/Sarah asks for the crowd to save her because Toby is going to kill her. The crowd begins cheering because they think it is all a part of the show. The crowd begins to the countdown to midnight because that is when Toby is going to killer her. As the countdown reaches zero Mark slides down a wire and gets on stage and Toby starts whining "YOU'RE RUINING IT!" as he is impaled on the mosquito's suckers. Cut to a scene of a cheering crowd. Suzanne and Maggie/Sarah are reunited in front of the theater. Then Mark holds Maggie/Sarah as the end credits roll. Not a bad movie. It doesn't suck. That in and of itself is a good thing. There is no tension or suspense at all. I liked it and this was the first time I'd seen it since the early 90s.

I was hoping they would change Sami's upbeat music to reflect his heel turn but now I just want them to make it more upbeat and happy because him sarcastically coming out to it rules.

And it goes without saying - don't post the video

Let's be honest. If you look in this man's eyes and think it wise to square up with him, you don't value your life. Though reports say Portis cheap-shotted Mirotic, so who knows.

A lot of truths are said in jest

I wish I was eloquent enough to explain the difference between Enzo and Miz's mic work is, but bottom line is, Enzo came off as organic while Miz is a cookie cutter corporate heel.

Jack's got no back

WWE 2K bugs are my fave. As far as taunts go, doing a modified Backlund-walk on the apron is pretty great A rubbery thumbs up from me

The Alliance to End Romanmania needs more Tony Lister.

they don't even know their market. should be Impact Poutine.

All hail Enzo, the best heel on RAW!!! Seriously, he found his lane.

Listening to you all talking about the Grim Dawn expansion is killing me. Saving money mode until after little one's bday. I should be able to get it in a few weeks. Sounds pretty great! Cannot wait!!

The matinee comparison is spot on, I loved Popcorn back in the day, will try and source it for a re-watch!

That was the best episode in a whwile with a good crowd into everything and nothing particularly bad. Glad the Shield was back in the old gear. The tag titles match wad another good match between Ambrose/Rollins and the Bar. Really dug the Fox/Sasha stuff tonight. The main was fun as expected. I kind of love Kane being the fifth guy. It was actually surprising, and there is plenty of story there with Roman retiring Taker and Kane being one of their debut opponents. I'm trying to figure out how the hell they got him in the middle of an election.

So, in kayfabe, if Roman won early, is Kane just left down there like, “Ahh rats.”?

I really enjoyed this episode. It was balls to the wall pretty much every segment. There's a lot of continuity here with Kane. He fought The Shield in their debut and Roman Reigns pretty much retired his brother THE UNDERTAKER... This was the best use of Kane in a long time. Also, yes. All the women's division stuff was pretty solid. Sasha and Foxy are always great with one another.

"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET, STEVE-DAVE!"

They finally got a "Jughead is always hungry" joke in so I'm even more on board.

Yeah, Riverdale is back on fucking track. It is almost like it never left.

Like Konnan would ever remotely be that tall.

Terrible Third Wave Ska would definitely be the calling card of a heel.

See, injustice 2 had loot boxes, but you were still the goddamned Batman without gear drops. This, you're the goddamned Mike Sharpe without them.

As the popularity of this game drops off (which, to be fair, it barely has given how old it is,) it seems like there are more people who will get hyper-aggro when you get one up on them. Like their entire world becomes about proving to themselves that they're better. Got in a relatively small lobby last night (about 10 people) and I see someone is doing executive search in Paleto Bay. I fly my Oppressor to the north, ending up repeatedly turbo-boosting on the train tracks in the tunnel through the base of Mt. Chilliad. I go off-radar and fly into town. The CEO is massacring NPCs, so it's pretty easy to find them and take them out. 1-0. I get back on the Oppressor and head south towards the city. They go ghost, which immediately clues me into what's coming. About 30 seconds later, on the north side of the hills north of the city, I get the lock-on warning. Now the Oppressor is maneuverable as fuck, so I evade his rockets, locking onto his Buzzard at the same time. A bit of a fight happens where he evades for a bit and ducks behind a ridge. After a moment, he comes back in, but I'm ready, able to rocket behind him and loop around to target him with enough rockets to take him out. 2-0. I get back to the city, going after a bounty (which I get) and in comes dude with a jet. I weave through the tall buildings and force him to circle to evade missiles, and he ends up crashing into a building. The game won't count that as a kill but I will. 3-0. At this point my Oppressor's out of missiles. I go ghost and land. Now I COULD go MC to refresh the vehicle's missiles, but I've got these lovely three minutes of invisibility. I use the time to sneak up on the dude who came after me and take him out with a shotgun butt to the back of the head. 4-0. I move away from them, go MC, refresh my Oppressor, and head off to go bank money from the bounty and the Exec Search. When that's done, dude is back in a buzzard coming after me. I get off the bike and launch a single homing rocket. 5-0. Dude goes and gets a Hydra, goes passive, flies over to where I am and messages me "Fight me or get booted, your choice." I go passive to respond: "Was I not fighting you all those times I killed you?" Him: "No, you were running." Me: "Hmm. Seems like it's been pretty effective, as a strategy." Him: "Fight me 1v1 no bike no jet no otr". Me: "...you're literally in a jet right now." Him: "You're afraid to fight me 1v1." Me: "In the end, we are all our own final bosses. Learn to win the game...within." Him: "f!!k u"

It's here, it's here! The most wonderful day of the year is here!

Yeah, I just need to get through the next couple of paychecks and two nephew and a neice's birthdays and fuck that medical bill and.... but yeah, that looks so much fun.

Pity they're going so late on this 3 vs 5, 4 vs 3 handicap dynamic. Should have totally gone all in on the Uncensored 96 tribute, and Miz bringing his Hollywood friend, Tiny Lister in would have been awesome.

The thing that bothered me most about this show was frigging Rosenberg was on Talking Smack and not D-Bry. Bad enough they took away weekly shows from us, but then Bryan doesn't even appear, and we get stuck with fucking Rosenberg? That is some bullshit.

BLACULA IS ON RIGHT NOW AND THEN SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM GET ON IT "Suave... You are one suave fuck, man" - Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet

That's horrible Hoarr, you've gone too far.

Can I add on to the pile of love for The Good Place? Man, what a great show. Just blew through the first season on Netflix in two days, and caught the first episode of Season 2 on Hulu. Love it and hope the rest of Season 2 can keep up with how great Season 1 is.
