Haha my missus said that's the most tense she's felt since Hank and the Twins in the car park in Breaking Bad.

Even though I am anything but a militant vegan I do chuckle when people run down JJ's because the owner kills animals because, well what do you think is in almost all of those sandwiches?
Unless you’re hunting for food or conservation reasons it’s a cunty thing to do and trophy hunting tops the list

I doubt any of those kids that weren’t alive during his big run know who the fuck JBL is.
If you listen really closely to that video, I'm sure one kid outs himself as a smark. He can be heard saying "I read somewhere that he hogtied Brian Christopher in the shower!" and another kid saying "I don't even want to benefit from his charitable help, he beat up the Blue Meanie in 2005"

Davey Boy Smith announced as next inductee. I'm guessing Bret puts him in.

Absolutely disgusting. As stated, you and a lot of other people need to update your opinion by a few decades

So you’re saying that all it takes to get a Wrestlemania match is to have a potential opponent point at the sign?
That exactly how it should happen going forward. In fact I've been indoctrinated for so long I can't for the life of me remember how feuds used to traditionally start pre-authority figure*
*Yes I know there are currently no authority figures on TV.

Now reading The Affirmation by Christopher Priest* (it's a Gollancz SF Masterwork). It's about a guy who goes off the rails in the aftermath of a bereavement and starts writing his autobiography, but then decides that to tell the truth of his life he needs to change the names and the details. But even at this stage, it's very unreliable narrator. He tells us he's doing things and five pages later it's clear they haven't been done. Then it suddenly shifts, and rather than being an Englishman who's Father passed away, he's from Jethra in Faianland, and he's won a Lottery to travel on a cruise ship to Collago, where he will have athanasia treatments and become immortal.
The introduction said that this is one of the few novels that can make perfect sense if read as a sequel to itself. I'm like a third of the way in, and I have no idea where it could possibly be going. There's every chance I could end up thinking it's a pile of overthought rubbish, or it might be great.
* He wrote The Prestige, which was adapted into the (best) Christopher Nolan movie.
I think I've read this one... is it the one where the main character is supposed to be redecorating a house and his girlfriend has left him? And he slowly begins to disappear into the Dream Archipelago?
I really should read more of Priest but I find the writing never quite matches the great concepts.

New season of Babylon Berlin just started in the UK, think it's on Netflix in the states.
It's been nearly two years since I watched Season 2 and it blows my mind how much a breath of fresh air it is compared to everything else on TV - from the production quality and acting to the attention to detail in costumes and sets.
If you like your noir with a bit of a foreign art deco twist then you'll love it

It hosted a Royal Rumble where Dick Murdoch was the second best worker (not counting Owen who was in the match for less than five seconds) in the Rumble match. However, I must say that Bulldog was a solid number three cause he tried launching Timothy Well (aka Rex King) over the top rope only for this inept fucker to somehow bounce off the top rope and fall back into the ring clutching his arm. Then, Bulldog being unusually nice to cover up the botch and trying not to hurt this man more than he has already hurt himself gently guides him over the ropes onto the floor.
That roster going into 1995...just so spectacularly bad.
As bad as the roster was, it amazes me WWF never scrimped on production. In fact I dare say production and effects and lighting always got better every year while everything else suffered. That's about as Vince as it gets.

Antje Traue strategically placed cleavage and Cung Le being a badass are the only reasons to watch Pandorum.
Funnily enough I thought it was a great film (or at least a great concept) apart from the bullshit shoe-horned Cung Le fist fight. And I still really want a laser razor

The unempathetic nature of this sentence is essentially the concept of the film. Outstanding work. Did you really miss how he was a guy trying to do his best and trying to get better only to be let down again and again until he was forced to turn into something he'd suppressed for so long? I've had a lot of mental health issues this past year and I found it to be one of the most realistic portrayals
I keep coming back to it but that scene on the stairway is legitimately one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a film... just the nature of accepting who you are and embracing and living in it just wow'd me.

Next week on the docket we have Luis el Gayo vs Rene Gerber.
Gerber is just an exceptional heel. At one point he has the entire first row coming at him. This is El Gayo getting some modicum of revenge. There's a lot of this in the match. I love the camera angle here though and the absolutely warranted intensity.
Those European uppercuts look brutal

It seems like its another way to keep talent from moving forward in the WWE Caste system of getting over the way TJ Perkins talked about it. If your at his experience level, you should have more leeway over your match than someone who fresh from developmental system new to the main roster. With all these indy darlings and international talent even at the mid card and below alot of these guys shouldn't be so handcuffed.
Or, y'know, it's to do with cameras and filming the actual thing so they know precisely where you are in the ring and when so they can capture it?

at least Michael Emerson had a hell of a run with Person of Interest
I tapped out during the first season of that show. I enjoyed it enough but couldn't commit to it, it's crazy how we've been conditioned to think 24 episodes per season of something is too much now

Kyle Chandler has cooled off, but had a bit of a run.
I love the back to back roles he had in Zero Dark Thirty and Argo where he basically just showed up, bollocked the main characters, then left.

Remember when people thought a lot of the Lost cast would go on to bigger things?
I thought Josh Holloway's Mission Impossible cameo was going to be his big break but he was so wooden.
Matthew Fox seemed to be doing okay with Alex Cross and Bone Tomahawk, but has pretty much disappeared after those false allegations came out about the bus driver, and his scenes from World War Z all ended up on the cutting room floor.
Evangeline Lilly has done really well though I guess.
I'm still disappointed Terry O Quinn and Michael Emerson haven't had anything produced for them both to do, they're possibly the greatest pairing in TV history.

The Old School Questions thread

Just bigging up his athletic background, which was the old regional way of giving someone credentials.
Along these lines, was there a better choice than Ron Simmons to take that upset victory from Vader in 92? It's safe to say that, as important as the win was historically it absolutely bombed, and though Ron Simmons had unmatched athletic credentials charisma-wise and in-ring wise he wasn't the right person for the role.
