I do own the street clothes Adam Page figure because it's just a figure of a cool guy in a western shirt drinking beer.
I'm waiting for a cool Page figure. Aside from the "a night at Bob's Country Bunker" figure that you referenced, there's a Target exclusive fig but 1) I stopped shopping at Target and 2) the head sculpt sucks. He's just SCREAMING.

The best wrestling related use of that meme I ever saw was in 2020-2021ish: "Southern indy promoters getting their Covid stimulus, thinking of booking the Rock n Roll Express"

Don't make WWE bring back the Wrestle Vessel and get the title intercepted.
Look at me. Look at me. I'm the champion now.

I collect AEW figures of just the guys I like or the ones that look cool. My wife bought me the Malakai Black figure but she bought the one with the wrestling tights and cool accessories, because I told her "please don't get me Business Casual Malakai Black."

Not to be confused with Q, the 80s Larry Cohen monster movie.
I was a few lines into the review and confused over the distinct lack of winged serpents and Richard Roundtree.

I honestly think of the big slasher series, F13 has the best run. 7,8 and 9 are the only ones I flat out don't enjoy. I'll admit some of the enjoyment comes from how dumb some of it is. Crispen Glover is a highlight for me.
I'm really picky, I guess. My evaluation of them them, in all its nitpicky stupid glory, is as follows (and bear with me because it's probably been 15 years since my rewatch)
1: it's not even Jason doing the killing, though it's a decent film
2: it's Jason, but no hockey mask? Pass.
3: 3D gimmickry, gets the hockey mask halfway through
4: really good!
5: Fuck all this, it's not even Jason, just a copycat
6: Jason is back and now he's a zombie. Pretty good.
7: Telekinesis bullshit
8: He's not in Manhattan until the last reel. It's really just Jason on a boat.
9: This is the one that's like The Hidden, where Jason is actually a demon slug that possesses people? So fucking far off the rails. If you told me this was produced by Kassar/Vajna/Cocaine, I'd believe you.
10: I guess this is alright. More of a campy sci fi spoof. I loved the Crystal Lake VR sequence.

The worst villain in that movie isn't even Candie of course: it's his, errr, right-hand man, should we call it, in place of the contemporary term?, Stephen. And of course that's Sam Jackson who just crushes it.
His protest about having to burn the bedclothes and the bed itself after Django is allowed to stay at the big house is amazing. And when he turns off his step-n-fetchit act and you see his actual cunning, when his twists Candie around and you realize Stephen is the one in control, it's absolutely incredible.

you know there's people in the TKO-sphere lamenting that Russia invaded Ukraine and now they can't run shows in Russia
I don’t think that would stop them. I think it’s because 1) Russia isn’t trying to sportswash yet and 2) Russia is really poor and the only people who could afford tickets in TKO’s “forget regular people; just target the whales” strategy are the oligarchs, but they’d expect comps.

It would be a trademark issue, not copyright. You couldn't possibly copyright a two-word phrase like "Intercontinental Champion".
So does the pre-existence of Intercontinental Titles in boxing prevent WWE from claiming the term as a trademark in the area of wrestling toys and replicas? My guess would be "no", but I wouldn't put much stock in my guess. I'd want an expert opinion on that question.
A very quick search of the USPTO shows WWE owns the trademark for “intercontinental championship” for toys, merch, etc. but nothing else as far as I can see.
In the same search result, it appears Zuffa once had a TM for “Baddest Motherfucker Championship” but they let it lapse.

My friend watched a edited for TV 'Kill Bill' one time and he claims the dialogue was changed to "My name is Buck and I came to...PARTY", then after Uma escapes his clutches, she looks dismissively at his car that has been edited to read 'Partymobile' and spits "Partymobile!" and my friend said "What DOES this woman have against partying?!"
That reminds me of my favorite apocryphal example of bowdlerization of films on TV: as a kid, one of my friends swore Regan McNeil said "YOU MOTHER SEWS SOCKS THAT SMELL" on the TV broadcast of The Exorcist.
1 hour ago, Andrew POE! said:(I haven't seen Django and I'm fairly sure he does it there too).
You'd probably like Django a lot, as ALL the bigots get what's coming to them. It's a really good movie. On the minus side, Tarantino put himself in the film, as well, and does a laughable Aussie accent. BUT it's a very short part and he gets blown up by dynamite, so take that as a win.
2 hours ago, HarryArchieGus said:Wow, is 25 minutes an exaggeration? Up here, north of the border, our AMC equivalent Cineplex is about 13-15 minutes of trailers and commercials. Arriving on scheduled time means sitting thru loud, very very loud, car ads etc. I usually have to arrive at the posted time for my lady friend, but usually hang in the lobby for at least 5 or so minutes. Cineplex mixes the commercials in throughout the run of trailers.
I'll have to time it next time I go with a stopwatch like Green Lantern Fan, but I can definitely tell you that, at the actual film's listed START TIME, my AMC shows probably one or two more commercials, ALL the trailers, a Coke commercial, a promo for AMC's laser technology or some such bullshit, CG looking Kidman telling me all about HAHTbreak, a PSA telling everyone to shut up and turn off cell phones, one or two assorted random things, and finally the movie. Pretty damn sure it's at least 20 minutes.

It's been well over a decade since I've seen it, but I seem to recall it was passable enough and inoffensive. I'll raise your HAWT TAEK and say it's probably better than a bunch of the original series' films.

For the most part, Friday the 13th is a decent low budget horror movie that ended up having a lot of influence on later horror movies too.
My daughter has gotten into horror and I find myself explaining to her, to the horror (ha ha) of my internal 80's horror kid, that Friday the 13th is really not a good series. I think the 4th and 6th are the best but aside from those, oof is it rough. We already experienced the 80s horror movie law of diminishing returns when she was so disappointed with Elm Street 4 and I was like, "yep, this is what they did back then. Keep making worse sequels until the franchise dies."

YES! So glad you liked it.
On 6/14/2025 at 1:51 PM, odessasteps said:I was happy that the chain where went the other day “only” had 5 minutes or so trailers/ads. Much better than Regal or AMC, who are the big chains here.
For my local AMC, we just plan to get there the time it says the movie starts. Because now that's when the trailers start. If you don't much care for trailers, you can seriously get there 20 minutes after the posted showtime and have 5 minutes to spare.
On 6/14/2025 at 2:42 PM, Mister TV said:Assuming that “premium spot” is right after the last trailer and right before the movie starts. I don’t go to AMC that often, but I think they stop commercials before the trailer’s start.
AMC absolutely has one PREMIUM~! commercial right now, and has been for quite a while, between trailers and Nicole Kidman looking like AI art Nicole Kidman telling us how heartbreak feels good in a place like this. It's been a spot for Coke since I've been going to my local AMC.

This week's Hey! (ew), with Josh Alexander, was really good.
-
My reviews can't touch Dean's. I'm more like "it tasted good" or "it was not good" or "it was okay." Then again, which of us could hold a candle to the great one?
At the same time, at least I'm not going on about "mouthfeel" or "lacing" or telling you what kind of glass I decanted my swill from like some Beeradvocate douchebag.
Beers of the last two weeks:
Dogfish Head Summer Doppio Imperial Pilsner: really tasty Pils but I wouldn't consider it "imperial" at only 7%. To me, imperial is like 8 or higher, the kind of thing I'll look at and say, "I plan on drinking 4 beers while grilling dinner on Saturday, so this is not the best idea." So 7% is a nice spot where it's strong but it won't knock you on your ass and ruin movie night with the family. Definitely recommended.
Sierra Nevada Summerfest (shout out to Jeremy Piven!) Lager. I don't know what I was expecting. It's a lager. It was okay, a little malty but kind of bland. Better than a macro lager but that's not saying much. Maybe I'll pick up some limes and make the best of the handful I have left.
Modela Negra: drank one at a Mexican restaurant, as one does. "Large" size on tap, served in a chilled mug with a big ol' slice of lime. Really nothing better with a nice plate of Mexican food in a shopping center. I could hear the "Ecstasy of Gold" playing as a narrator described how I am a "fighter" at life. Strongly recommend, but only under these exact circumstances.

1) There are those trailers you feel like you’ve seen forever, until you’re just like “when is this shitty film finally coming out?” How to Train Your Dragon is that for me. I swear I’ve seen the trailer before every kid’s movie for a year.
2) These studios can just rotate animated —> live action & CG remake —> back to the animated —-> repeat forever and just print money. The greed and cynicism is actually impressive.

I somehow found Moon Knight to be worse than Secret Invasion. I think it’s because Moon Knight felt like a bait and switch. All the promo stuff looked badass. Look at the main screen promo art right now of Moon Knight looking menacing, pulling on that glove, shit’s about to go down. Then we got Poe from Star Wars doing a cringeworthy, OTT, borderline shameful portrayal of mental illness I guess, and he’s only badass Moon Knight once in a while. It’s like Ang Lee’s Hulk, a tone deaf joyless misfire that misunderstood the assignment and only reached comic book joy in brief spots. But hey, it had a talking hippo, so all the OMG SO RANDOM LOL folks gave it a pass.

Nope, Pulp Fiction. I won't touch Left Behind 1. (At least not yet).
You waited so long to see Pulp Fiction that $5 is now a decent price for a milkshake.

Look I'm sorry but creating your own sign language is a terrible idea. It's like creating a gibberish "foreign language" for authenticity. Black Bolt was out there Nelling it up and people bought into it because non-marginalized people have no clue about disabilities.
Massive lol for “Nelling it up.” Thanks for that!

So a company could arbitrarily split itself into smaller companies, saddle one company with all the original entity’s debt, and then let it die on the vine to dodge creditors? 1) allowing business to write laws via “lobbying” really fucked this country and 2) I need to incorporate myself.

Martel’s size was my takeaway from that, too! It’s funny how massive dudes in the 80s like Hogan, Road Warriors, etc ruined our perception of size to the point where Martel wasn’t considered a big man. He looks like Lesnar in that video!

I just switched to half an edible twice per day until the alcohol cravings subsided.
. Drinking less actually made me want liquor less when I do have it. Now, just drinking on Saturdays (cheat day), I drink less on that day than I used to.

AEW - JUNE 2025
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted
My favorite Brandi memories are 1) Brandi's steadfast policing of the timing of Open Mic Night, as it is incredibly important to remind everyone when it is and is not Open Mic Night. 2) Brandi explaining the Nightmare Collective vis a vis the organizational chart of the Nightmare Family as a whole. All that was missing was a PowerPoint.
Honorable mention: Brandi telling Ethan Page in a promo that AEW only hired him in order to get to Josh Alexander. A fucked up thing to do to an employee in public, and probably not even true (Alexander said on this week's Hey! (ew) that AEW turned him down early on).
