    Liza Richardson is the music supervisor. As on the last Lindelof show she worked on, she's to thank for the awesome song choices.

    This remains a high point for me, such a great show. Carrie Coon was amazing:

    Taker realized then it was because everyone was scared of Spivey.

    He's one of those guys no one brings up when the inevitable 'wrestling tough guy Meng jerkathon' topics gets brought up, but folks like Stan Hansen and Ron Fuller have long singled Spivey out as someone not to fuck with

    also, mentions of wrestlers and unionization make this as good a time and place as any to once again say Fuck Hulk Hogan.

    I’m not one of those sheep who unequivocally hate on Hogan, but he was the first champion who never stuck up for the boys ala Bruno and set a precedent for the champ being ‘me first’ selfish. So in agreement with that statement.

    Also I really dig the new IC title, it’s classy and a nice change. Side plates look tacky next to the centrepiece though

    Blade Runner is top 5 for me.  Probably top 3.  Strictly original cut.  Deckard is human.

    I’m a connoisseur, I’ve got a good fan edit that mixes aspects of the various cuts which I think is the ideal. I’m also one of those people who likes the narration.

    i wish Ridley Scott had actually directed 2049, I think he’d have trimmed it up great. I enjoyed it for the most part but it’s definitely flawed 

  5. Today is the final day before Blade Runner is consigned to taking place ‘in the past’. 

    Considering the effect the film had on futurism, and how it informed the aesthetic of every sci-fi film and cyber punk media that came along in one way or another in my youth, that fact verges on vomit inducing. 

    Amazes me that nothing has ever come along to definitively update or supplant it’s vision either.

    And as much as I love the opening 10 minutes of Drive, I’d say this is the most awe inspiring opening of any film ever. From the visuals to the score it just captures your imagination and puts you in that world like nothing else

    The Ballad of Little Jo, Richard III, Gods and Monsters, and Apt Pupil are all worth checking out.  And The Last Action Hero if you haven't seen it.

    Don't forget his turn as the creepiest fucking Dracula you've ever seen in that Pet Shop Boys video too!

    I just remembered...they were going to do some kind of not-black-or-white gangster feud with Samu and Konan. WCW hadn’t wussed out entirely by 1997 but by then trying to fit a gangster feud into their TV friendly product would have been tough lol!

    Why did WWF ditch the similar angle with Rikishi when he was doing his Make A Difference gimmick?

    Fucking wrestling bubble...Stan Hansen doesn't even know how to do the scissors in rock/paper/scissors.

    Does Stan Hansen speak Japanese? He's been there for 40 odd years and works in the All Japan office, so it seems like he would have picked up a lot of it. Unless I missed it, he doesn't appear to say anything in Japanese, but he does seem to understand what everyone is saying to him.

    As for the seconds, who's the dude in the army shirt rocking the brylcreem?

    Even weirder when you realise his wife is Japanese and he lived there full time for a few years.

    I don't think Hansen understood the concept and Chosu tricked him into doing the wrong pose for scissors. Oh Riki, always trying to get any little advantage...
