Dave Chappelle: Stil Crazy After All These Years
Cristobal replied to Ellsworth Toohey's topic in MOVIES & TV
Because comedy's one of those things that every smart-ass living thinks he or she can do, so when they find themselves with a venue even and an audience, (the fact that that audience is there to see the COMIC and not them is not relevant in their minds,) they've got to take their shot. The problem is that because of the interactive nature of stand-up, this sort of thing gets tolerated (to a point) where it doesn't in any other medium, (other than wrestling, ironically enough.) If you were at a play and someone in the third row started reading the lines of one of the parts, they'd get tossed out pretty quickly. In comedy, the comic is expected to defend themselves from it. I don't blame Chappelle for being completely uninterested in some comedic battle with random ticket-buyers to prove he's funnier. -
Near as I can tell, the whole "dying" thing is unavoidable in the end. And in any case, it's not about being in the history book. It's about doing the thing that gets you there.

If someone came up to me and said "We want you to be on this show", it would take a good long think for me to decide, and that's including the likelihood that Earth would be forever closed off to me even if I did survive to live out something like a full lifespan. Possibly related: If someone came up to me and offered me a ride into space, then, (after confirming they are not crazy, scammers, or hitting on me,) I'd take it in a heartbeat. That's just fucking cool. The Mars thing? How often do most of us get the chance to be on the absolute forefront of human endeavor? And the cost is what, inability to lead a normal life? Hardly seems a thing to aspire to, by comparison. If that makes me stupid, so be it.

There isn't an MLB team in Newfoundland.

Uh...I think you might not have thought this part through...

If Jim Cornette were here, he'd slap you in the mouth.

How are those two things anything alike? Are the fans workers now? Is it fans job to get the show over? If you're gonna complain about fans chanting shit to amuse themselves well I'm afraid that ship sailed like 15 years ago. This makes me imagine a show where McMahon is yelling "Dammit, cheer for the other guy!" in the fans' headsets. Delete this post right this instant before this becomes a "feature" on the WWE app.

The Alaska/Packers connection seems obvious (frozen hellholes), but I don't quite get how the Steelers are so big in Northern Alaska and Hawaii.

Wasnt that his gimmick in the UK? When they came to King of Trios, the cartel wore flat caps and came to the ring to Vindaloo.Sort of, he pretty much always worked as "the Guv'nor" as a London hardman. However on NXT, he went from "here's Danny Burch from the UK" to "here's Danny Burch, West Ham football hooligan. He says a pint and a fight is a good night" so they're pushing that side of his character a bit more. So, a rekindling of the historic alliance between West Ham and Preston North End?

If the plan is to sit on Patterson for the future, what makes you think Ponder's gonna be on the Vikes a year or two down the road?

The worst final roles for actors before they died?
Cristobal replied to Ellsworth Toohey's topic in MOVIES & TV
Are you going to argue that you're NOT some sort of nerd worthy of scorn? -
Never mind.

Group B has potential there as well.

Barca/Milan again.

Well this is mildly excruciating.

The worst final roles for actors before they died?
Cristobal replied to Ellsworth Toohey's topic in MOVIES & TV
The term used is "the worst final role". The role of M. Bison in the Street Fighter movie was, like every other role in that movie, incredibly stupid. That the performance is remembered fondly is a testament to the depth of JuliĆ”'s talent as an actor that he single-handedly elevated the movie whenever he was on screen. Take JuliĆ” out of that role and replace it with generic action movie villain #9 and the entire movie would be forgotten. -
All hail Paul!

Agreed. On like the last or second to last area you go to the location and it's in a largely empty alley. "Motherf-"
