  1. That Devils fan is loving it.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. I don't think Scott understood what they were doing.
  5. 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.
  6. There aren't enough absurdly large or small belts in wrestling anymore. Briefcase or beltbuckle.
  7. 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.
  8. Ahh...that's the stuff.
  9. Simpsons-Did-It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHaXdl20Prg
  10. Can someone put up a gif of Lawler and Funk punching each other to cleanse the thread?
  11. I was watching Basic Instinct the other night, and I fell down the IMDB rabbit hole something fierce. Sharon Stone's lesbian lover was played by Leilani Sarelle, who was the police stripper from Days of Thunder. It had never crossed my mind to look that up before, but I realized that was probably where I learned of the concept of a stripper. I remember it being very titillating as a little kid, but I'd imagine it's pretty tame. Then I was reading up on George Dzundza, who played Michael Douglas's partner. He's probably best known for the Deer Hunter, but in his credits I saw that he did a Meredith Baxter movie-of-the-week called the Rape of Richard Beck. It stars Richard Crenna as a Dirty Harry-type detective who has no sympathy for rape victims until, well...he gets raped. It's startling that this got made in the mid-80s (I don't know if it would get made now at all.) I literally stopped watching Basic Instinct and watched it on Youtube instead because the premise and cast sounded absurd, but Crenna was really excellent and deserves all the props in the world for making it work. Commissioner Gordon himself, Pat Hingle, also pops up as Crenna's father, who wants nothing to do with him after what happened to him becomes public. Baxter is the victim advocate who convinces Crenna to testify against his rapists, and it seems like this led to her famous streak of TV movies along the same lines. Moral of the story: I need to shut off my phone and close my laptop or I'll never finish a movie in one sitting.
  12. Harry Shearer has left The Simpsons. They have to at least be considering throwing in the towel.
  13. I could watch that Big Show/Rey one all day. My love and/or hate for that flippy tombstone spot is entirely dependent on if that was the finish.
  14. The reboot would be Miles Teller as a songwriter who has a nervous breakdown and imagines the Chipmunks as a coping mechanism, with Anna Kendrick as the supportive counselor who helps him harness the madness and find his song again. Because everything has to be earnest and talking chipmunks are silly.
  15. I think I had a Jem colorform set for some reason, but I have no recollection of the cartoon. I thought they fought crime. But hey Juliette Lewis!
  16. I bet he's gettin jiggy with it, haha amirite?!
  17. I remember it being very reactionary to pop culture instead of being weird and in front of stuff like the Muppet Show, and there were too many Poochie-esque new characters. Also, not enough Kermit.
  18. It can't be any worse than Muppets Tonight. I'm in. I can't wait for my kid to be old enough to ask me what a Muppet is. "It's not a mop, and it's not a puppet, but man! ..."
  19. They tried something new with King Sheamus's gear and everyone shit on it. I kind of liked the Celtic crown/antennae.
  20. Real April still looks foine!
  21. I can't wait. It's clearly an Orwellian indictment of Vince killing the territories.
  22. The Mallrats sequel's official title is...Mallbrats.
  23. Fowler, the Ten Rings give Whiplash a ticket and fake ID to get into the Grand Prix. Edit: I just figured out how to quote. Late bloomer.
  24. Was Killiam responsible for the Ten Rings stuff in the first two movies, or was that supposed to be the actual Ten Rings?
  25. I didn't have any beef with IM3 specifically, and I had no allegiance to the Mandarin. My problem was that it was the third one in a row that was at it's heart about Tony's company and industrial espionage. All of the tension in the first two acts is gone once the twist is revealed and Tony and the audience realize it's the same thing he's already been through twice more or less.
