Mickie James and Sarita from last years purge are two of the women I'd like them to sign if they wanted to bring in vets that can go and be great player/coaches* like Deeb was doing before the injury
Joe I'd bring in as a manager who occasionally gets in the ring to let him build this menacing aura on the mic and give him this Special feel when he does wrestle* every now and again. Maybe slot him in Dark to work off any ring rust?
*IMHO [I'm just a scrub fantasy drafting free agents here]

Paging Gordi.. Paging Gordi..
El Grant Gordi can you do a Haters Guide to Enjoying Dynamite next week with a comical reference to their ratings from this week?*
Those Haters Guides were plenty fun and actually spot on
*How they're a 1 trick pony or 1 hit wonder I'd guess but you're way more creative and I'm sure you'll knock it out the park

Anyway, my .02 is complaining about complaining is the message board equivalent of sniffing your own farts.
I really wouldn't disagree, like complaining on a message board about people on message boards complaining about complaining has to be the top of the mountain there, the pinnacle if you will
Thats the equivalent of sniffing your own farts then get getting on a message board to talk about sniffing your own farts
Am I doing this right?

My .02 is that doomsayers need to find a new hobby and quit hate watching anything they don't enjoy
Like how long were there LOLTNA takes about the company dropping dead, or ROH not making it through the end of the calendar year. Watching and expecting things to change and improve i understand. I can understand hope, but I'm not talking about hopeful fans who may have a bone to pick with the product.
like the way TNA and ROH each managed to outlive both ECW and WCW for example despite the constant braying about how the shows could be canceled because they were such shit, or dropped any week now by the station or network. like just how can someone decide "yeah the writing or the action isn't for me, but lemme tune in anyway, and I'll be back next week and the month after too!", for me it doesn't make sense. Popping into threads to shit on a product week after week, like who wakes up and decides Thats it right there, that's the good shit pal!
Which reminds me, im curious if mlw ever gets the doom and gloom forecasts or if you have to be considered a #2 promotion to attract the doom and gloom?

The open with Inner Circle all driving up separately, parking together and heading to the arena was the dope shit
for a random cold open, id love MORE of those, keep it under a minute and I'm sold
Casters line about the staircase had me laughing hard! Then that botch! But hey fuck it, for all the complaints about wrestling being choreographed and coordinated dancing or whatever i appreciate a real in the moment botch that sells the match as a competitive heated battle. Must've been a potato cart nearby
Hangmans face post match looked like he must have snacked on one at some point
Liked Marshall's promo, shit I liked Jerichos promo too for the intensity alone building up to the Blood and Guts announcement. Shooty promos like this are one of the things I love about wrestling, like Randy's promo to Beth about Edge for example, that I was reminded about on the Austin podcast. Gimme more plz!
Skipped past the bf's vs triangle promo, Skipped over sting and archer, no thoughts there
Never really knew much about drake before this match but damn
I'm a fan now! Darbys gonna be feeling those chops until next week I'm sure Almost wish Drake would join bear country or that they join his group with nevertheless. Tldr Drake and bear country need to be a trios unit asap imo

This thread had some real gems
SpoilerLike the answers with Infinity Gauntlet and Adventures in Babysitting were some of my favorites

This thread about Kenny in AEW seems to give his arc some sort of a storyline
if you squint just so,, then this kinda almost makes sense? Dunno tbh, have some dynamite episodes to catch up on.

Elizium I'm hoping, please
, you can recommend a good movie showcasing John Candy as having a deep range with his acting. I'll be honest I'm way more familiar with him in comedy as say a costar or popping in for a quick scene. I'm intrigued and hope to see him chewing up scenery
-
I hear you, like in other words you can slot Candy in the Chevy Chase role from the National Lampoon movies, or as Indiana Jones himself in the IJ series?
Cause I'm not looking for better overall actor, I'm sure you're right about Candy playing anything (which now I'm begging for a deepfake edit with John Candy in the Devito role for Twins HAHAHAHAHAHA!)
I was thinking more the clown/jester role specifically, like take any 80s or 90s comedy and if you can only pick one for the funny goofy sidekick that's loyal to the lead, would you want Candy or DeLuise?
Hahahaha, now I'm picturing Candy in deep fake edits for Ferris, Marty McFly, John McClane, the old man from Jurassic Park, Goldblums character in The Fly, Ivan Drago, HAHAHAHAHA as Ace Ventura, any of Steven Segalls' roles
, deep fake him as Booger in the Revenge of the Nerds, Currys character in Rocky Horror Picture Show
My Gotch imagining Candy deep faked over a ton of 80s early 90s characters from movie and TV is cracking me tf up!!!
John Candy is... The Karate Kid! The Terminator! RAMBO!!!!!
Fuck me if I ever get my hands on deepfake software I'll have a field day swapping John Candy in for Tom Cruise and Sean Penn roles hahahahahahahaha!

Following up on 70s 80s movies I missed out on, with Howling and American Werewolf in London being a recent two-for, I popped in Smokey and the Bandit back to back with Cannonball Run and it left me with two questions
Does anyone else besides me think that Burt Reynolds and Pedro Pascal (aka The Mandalorian aka The badass guy from Game of Thrones) look alike? Maybe its a recent rewatch of Viper vs Mountain like a few days before the double Reynolds feature, but holy shit I'd swear if they're not father son they have to be uncle/nephew
Which takes me to my next question: John Candy or Dom DeLuise? If you're picking a sidekick for your summer comedy, who do you go with? I did a rewatch of Spaceballs and Little Shop of Horrors 80s remake and while I find Candy to be funny, I don't know how to put it in words but imo DeLuise is a better Candy than Candy. The cowardly oddball if you will. The well meaning goofball. I'd be curious what you folks think, and if you have any movies you'd suggest that give one thr advantage over the other

I agree with @TheVileOnethat this Zemo feels like a completely different person from the Zemo in Civil War. Which is not to say that they can’t be the same person, but to pull off a pivot this extreme, you have to put the narrative work in, and they didn’t put in an ounce of it. He literally just gets out of prison, and its just like “Oh, by the way, guys, I’m actually an ultra wealthy dandy,” and the show just expects you to go with it.
Which, I mean...If they’re going to play fast and loose with everything, that’s fine. I’ll just have to recalibrate expectations. At a $150 million budget to produce, I was just expecting more from this than, like, “later-season Arrow”-tier writing.
Could Zemo be a skrull? Secret War was going to be a movie or a miniseries? I can't keep track anymore
but that's good because we're in for the long haul with new MCU content almost weekly Love it

The trailer for the Squad has me stupid hyped! King fucking Shark on the big screen BAY-BAY oh chester cheezus please let him live through the whole movie
King Shark has been a favorite of mine since his appearance in one of the Squad tpb's with Ragdoll, I forget the name, a contortionist im sure, anyway they're worried that King Shark might eat someone but he opened his mouth WIDE and there's a living person that HE SWALLOWED WHOLE still alive in his gullet!!!!!!
Oh fuck I wasn't ready for that on my first reading and just remembering it has my sides splitting
I may not remember the scene entirely correctly, been a few years since I read it but gotch damnit he's been a favorite of mine since (and popping up on Harleys cartoon just makes him more lovable lmao well at least with the episodes that I can remember)
Tldr just for Shark alone im fucking dying to see this
Gunn does pretty great IMHO with the Guardians so I think it's going to be a great flick

This NJPW game looks neat
Thank you Gran Gordi and Elsavaje
sincerely
Good to hear about Silver, someone joked about the Dark Order claw causing all these shoulder injuries and I'm going to be pumped for his return and Anna's

Best hot tag? Three way tie between John Silver/Cesaro/Violent J*
It may not happen but I'd love Cesare and Silver on opposite sides of a tag just to see them try and out do each other on the hot tag sequence hahaha. Stick them in stables and send them into a mini feud where they always upgrade the hot tag sequence over time until it gives the "killing the business" grogs something to cry about lmao
*J being the best hot tag in the game was a long running joke among my cousins and me when we'd watch the JCW tapes hahaha. Someone would hit the tag and he'd do the hip toss/hip toss/leg drop and we'd all yell DANGEROUS!!!!! (like that early RoH announcer, Sapolsky maybe?) and laugh our fucking dumb asses off

Log said it best, no need to quote him when that's exactly how I feel.
In my head, fuck any speculation about anything tied to Winter Soldier/Falcon. Fuck any easter eggs lmao, fuck any still shots of the show, I'm leaving it in its own corner for now until the show wraps up.
Losing myself in the Wandavision hype was a good lesson in fan speculation not always being best for the fans themselves if they believe every rumor or let their fantasy booking run wild (the sparklers from the exploding barb wire deathmatch happening in the same weekend just drove that point home for me)
I haven't seen the first two episodes yet, might get around to it next week with getting Good Friday off and getting to catch three episodes at once.
Trying to avoid the spoiler thread, but whats the run time been on the episodes so far please, for anyone who's watched? I'd kick myself if these are under half an hour too, that's what I'd loved about Netflix marvel, even the shitty ones didn't wrap it up as it just started to pick up. They kept going, feeding the hope that something redeeming was around the corner, even if with iron fist it really wasn't

I fucking loved American Werewolf in London, oh man I could hardly sleep last night from laughing so hard that my ribs were aching
The car wrecks, the cop going all NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG and so many other scenes. Gotch damnit I haven't laughed that much watching a horror movie since Midsommar (the mating scene with the women all moaning happened to be playing as my brother in law leaves his bedroom to join me, my mom and my sister watching this movie for the 1st time not knowing what the heck happens next
My brother in law is a devout Christian who thinks cigarettes and alcohol are sinful to partake in, and he gets uncomfortable watching movies with sex and nudity if he's watching it with anyone else besides my sister So yeah him deciding to see what we're watching as that scene unfolds was hilarious as fuck seeing his eyes POP OUT pretty much )
the Werewolf transition scene was much better here imo because that bubbling transformation from the Howling just seemed weird. Great fx though I preferred the upright on two feet Werewolf vs the crawling on all fours, but thats my personal taste..
Curt, I really have a shorter list of what I've seen vs what I haven't. Barely saw the 1st Friday the 13th a few weeks back, and haven't seen any of the Elm Street series except for Freddy vs Jason and the reboot. Texas Chainsaw I've seen the first two and one of the reboots, Halloween i think I've only seen the reboot, barely saw Nightbreed bout 3 years back and maybe the first three Hellraisers. None of the Phantasm, Poltergeist or Exorcist movies at least not that I remember.
Whatever I did catch was mostly troma since it seemed sci-fi with like Mutants vs monsters, not til my folks split was i able to finally watch horror films

Can I just say, I LOVED THE CASTING OF CYBORGS DAD
The homie from T2 that Sarah Connor busts into his fucking house to kill him to stop the rise of Skynet
And the homie didn't learn his lesson and he went to continue working on cyborgs until he makes his own son a CYBORG!!
Picture perfect casting like a mf'er!
we joked through out the movie how T2 was in continuity with the Snyderverse because of the homie getting cast in practically the same role!
Oh man the fucking laughs anytime something dramatic happened involving the dad we kept joking that either Sarah or John were coming to finish him off for breaking his promise
Whoever cast him, a million fucking props for the perfect casting choice of a lifetime
That the T2 scientist never learned his lesson and is still working on fucking alien technology involving cyborgs was just too fucking funny

So I just watched The Howling for the first time, and wow! Very 80s-riffic with the plot hammer at times
Loved the effects, and now I'm going to catch American Werewolf in London to compare both as I don't think I've ever seen that one either. Being raised in the church i never got to see horror movies until Leprechaun and Bram Stokers Dracula hit the dollar cinema, so I missed out on a ton of 70s and 80s horror

Finished this, watched with all my brothers and we had a fucking blast. Lots of great stuff to admire BUT the fucking constant slow mo kept pissing me off
I joked at one point "sure its 4 hours run time but speed up the slow scenes and the run time is only 3 hours max" then we finished it and I'm almost sure if some fan does an edit that runs the majority of the unnecessary slow shots at regular speed its probably just over 3 hours not counting the credits
Abrams is to lens flares as Snyder is to slow mo it seems
Enjoyed it, enough nitpicking I guess. Would hate to try sitting through it in a theater due to run time, but at home with intermission it's great. Hated the video format, looked so shrunken on my brother's wide-screen tv
So any issues I had were more about format than content

Caught the KingMox tag, Pinnacle promo, and the main, saving the rest for the weekend when we get to watch Snydercut.
And I gotta say, that main was just fucking unreal. I wanted to say the last hard hitting women's match I've seen before this (North America in last 7 years) was Sexy Star vs Mariposa from LU (thank you editing crew) but then again I barely remember the Becky/Charlotte match that kicked off Becky's face turn (or was it just the post match beating that was brutal?) so I'm likely misremembering (in my defense there's tons of NXT I've yet to catch up on so any of those matches post Bayley/Iiconics leaving i haven't yet seen)
Just such great character work by Britt and Rosa, and props for them not backing off and not trying to phone it in
Two warriors went to war and Tony nailed it calling Rosa the winner before correctly saying she'd survived it

One thing I missed about bexar county was how the clinics there mostly had their shit together. Go online to request a prescription refill, go online to get a query sent to your doc that you can get a reply back within 48 hours. The wait time at the pharmacy could be god awful if you got there late, but it worked out perfect if you were an early bird. Truly that was the golden age, five years ago.
Trying to get hold of my doc or my pharmacy when it comes to my meds is the biggest maddening nightmare this side of some cosmic horror novel. Even before the pandemic, trying to get someone on the phone with the pharmacy at HEB or the pharmacy at the clinic itself was at minimum a 40 minute hold time.
Moving to the country while working in the city, I thought hell it would be a nice adventure. Peaceful solitude. The commute would be a breeze. But the idiots setting the policy at my clinic, running the clinic in general, wouldn't know their asshole from their earlobe if you gave them a map and flashlight. It's still the 1970s seemingly, with how out of date their system is.
It took one doctor's visit in travis county to get me to reconsider leaving my hometown and the time since then hasn't really changed my mind at all. the clinics and staff are way more modern and patient friendly compared to the draconian fucks i've had to deal with for the last 5 years. so help me if i could go back and switch things up i'd rather have just stayed and never bothered moving. fuck that.
