    Mad Max

    I finally got to the theater last night. Fury Road is a joy to behold. It's like looking at something that shouldn't exist. This could have easily been a Jodorowsky's Dune or Gilliam's Don Quixote situation, but Miller pulled it off. It's an experience. I want to go back to the theater right now and do it again. I can't say that about any of the comic property or event pictures in recent memory, even the ones I really enjoyed. I was gleefully giggling at the screen several times, and my wife, who hasn't seen the Max movies but was excited for it, looked over at me perplexed. The abject insanity of some of the stuff at the Citadel in the beginning had her kind of lost, but by the final chase she was giggling too. I liked Hardy's Max quite a bit, and Charlize Theron is a bad motherfucker, both on and off the screen. How many A-list movie stars would go out into the desert for months without a complete script and deal with the craziness of that kind of production, and then be able to commit that performance? Also, Miller has announced the next one will be called Mad Max: The Wasteland.
  2. A quick google search indicates that Eckanar is the TNA to Scientology's WWE, so this seems fitting.
  3. What does this even mean? She's not going to be able to main event WrestleMania?There's a standard career trajectory for the women, and anyone who doesn't fit into that gets squeezed into it anyway.
  4. Yeah, Lana's going to hit the AJ Lee Memorial Glass Ceiling sooner than later.
  5. I think they should call up a couple of their amateur guys from the performance center and have them be Russian World's Greatest Tag team for Rusev. Reform the Wyatts and have the six of them war until something else comes up for Rusev to do.
  6. I understand why CBS runs colorized versions of these Lucy reruns, but at the same time anyone watching a show where the celebrity guest is William Holden wouldn't care or would rather watch it in B&W.

    Mad Max

    I just remembered how close we were to a George Miller Justice League movie and I'm disappointed all over again.
  8. The rumor is he gets to keep Samoa Joe. I think he's in a much better position to have a good run now than he would have if he'd signed 10 years. The climate in WWE has changed a lot.
  9. To paraphrase Mick Foley, I'd rather watch Terry Funk hurt Onita than watch Lexington Steele love Sunny.
  10. I don't know how to spoiler tag, but the prevalent theories from production leaks last year about Doomsday and how he gets involved were weird. Definitely a different take on Doomsday. That was Latino Review and it was quite some time ago so who knows.
  11. I had heard Spike was covering the cost of Hogan and some other contracts for Dixie, but was she routinely hitting them up for money as well?
  12. Oh wow. I didn't even see what I did there. Thanks JH. Stay gold.
  13. I love Hall's picture so much. He looks like current day Jack Nicholson in a remake of The Outsiders.
  14. The death match series Funk and Foley wanted to have going into Mania 14 has always captured my imagination, but it's probably for the best Vince got cold feet. At least they had that great match a few months later on Raw.
  15. Wrestling journalist by day, psychic cryptozoic creature by night? Give it a procedural angle and you've got a pilot to start pitching. Who plays Dave? What's Craig Sheffer up to these days?
  16. I love the idea of Dixie owing Dave a favor like she could be of any use to him ever, especially if he's telling her what's going on with her own business partnerships.
  17. I don't think Scott understood what they were doing.
  18. I've never watched the show, but the Amy Lake Blively sketch showed up in my Facebook feed and it's something else. Very few people come off genuine on those talk shows anyway, but she nails the way young women have to be coquettish, accessible, and non threatening while much older hosts creep on them.
  19. There aren't enough absurdly large or small belts in wrestling anymore. Briefcase or beltbuckle.
  20. Oddly enough, the first big recasting that comes to mind is when Dan Castellenata replaced Robin Williams in Aladdin 2. He ended up somewhere between Homer and a Mork impression.

  22. Can someone put up a gif of Lawler and Funk punching each other to cleanse the thread?
