Leonidas

KOTFM was indeed one of the best movies I've ever seen as well. The only two negatives are the length, while it didn't feel like there was too much filler it could have been 30 minutes shorter without losing much context, and secondly, the ages of Leo/DeNiro were wildly wrong. You'd probably only know this if you'd read the book. Still, again DeNiro looks every bit 80 years old in this when Hale was actually only in his 50s during this time meaning Leo could've realistically played him, who did not look like a WW1 veteran in his 20s either. Other than that it was perfect in tone, colour and acting all the way through. The secondary characters look like they had been cast by the Coen's casting director and if it wasn't for the camera being in constant motion a lot of this movie felt like No Country at its best moments. Brendan Fraser in his very small role stole the courtroom scenes and his talking down to Ernest was so convincing I felt personally attacked when he called him a DUMB BOY as the camera was almost POV. Whilst Scorsese has been quite meta in his last two movies I would say this is better than the Irishman and I loved that too. Confident that this will easily hold up against his most well-known and acclaimed works.

Both BD vs ZSJ and again vs Swerve, I had to physically stop watching the show and go have a break for 20 minutes to just decompress from the awesomeness of those two matches. We are eating so good right now I feel like a wrestling GLUTTON.

I think we can all agree on that. If TK was on this board still he definitely would've been banned for being a gimmick poster by now.

Ex / Tazz / Nigel would be my favourite combo with Tony / Mox / Menard / Jericho coming in to do bits too. Can see why they spread the work load out over Dynamite/Collison fair enough, but for PPVs we could get this.

Chav is actually an acronym standing for Council House, Anti-social behaviour order (asbo), Violent. But yeah it's antiquated a bit now. ZSJ sounds like a middle-class southerner, and I should know because I'm also one...

The thing I'm looking forward to the most tonight is the pure Britishness of the commentary during BD's match. Nigel and Zack are bound to say something naughty the rotw won't understand .

Scanning tips: For fish and flying creatures you can scan them at a distance, don't have to wait for them to land or beach. Beetles are scavengers so wait for a hunting animal to kill a prey animal and the beetles will appear. If you're not sure what fauna you're missing, if you go to land on water and the landing point says 0% then it's a fish. I now have to decide between Crimson Fleet and the feds and I hate the characters from both, it's a conundrum. Think being a member of Crimson Fleet works out better financially over the long term...

On the topic of learning more about Lucha, I would like to learn more about the "llave" style. After watching Angelico/Fenix I fell down a youtube blackhole and found some good stuff, but anyone got any easily accessible match recommendations?

I accidentally picked up some harvested organs somehow, which were scanned as contraband. As a result, I am now undercover as a space pirate. Haven't decided if I will betray them later or turn double agent if possible. I have no idea what's happening, just know I love this game.

Y'all out here booking EnC vs FTR and that's great and all an imma let you finish, but I want to see Old Man EnC vs Old Man Hardyz vs Old Man Dudleys. Bring in Rhyno and Spike for some 6 mans. Oh also, just brand his name as LEDGEND. He's earned that moniker at least.

Haven't had time to read the whole thread, but just had to pop in and mention, Darby and Starks' selling tonight was both world class. OC too, but we already know that.

Maybe now we can get that Miro main event push I always wanted.

Nick Hausman's career in shambles right now as well, he needs to find a new wrestler friend.

First person fired from TNA/WWE/AEW, good job Punker! Ace Steel better not pick up his phone anytime soon.

They run a yearly Pride show, have numerous 'out' performers on their roster and no complaints ever came to anything. But people jump on the first source they find which is why it's become trendy to dump on them. Zack Knight is one of the nicest people I've ever met and I wish nothing but the best for him and hope he ends up in AEW permanently. He deserves it on talent alone. I was also at the show, I SAW STING in the REAL LIFE~! It was amazing. Moxley getting skewers stuck in him like Sonic was 5*. A lot of the volume got lost in the air of the big stadium, the BOOMs were so loud the ground shook. Here's comments from my casual viewer girlfriend: Claudio = Tall Mark Strong Moxley = Gorgeous George (From Snatch) Orange Cassidy = Also a traveller Luchasaurus & Penta = Ooh I love their gear/masks so much I want a mask like that Adam Cole = He's so pretty, the TV makes him look much bigger he's tiny but look at his hair he's so pretty (.) Dasha (After I basically drooled on the floor) "She's ok I guess" Jack Perry & Hook = Foetuses / They're so young but they have lovely hair. Christian (After I showed her insulting everyone's dads) "I HATE HIM SO MUCH!"

Octopus has been banned from Collision

It's taken me 3 days to realise you're all talking about Texas Chainsaw Match and not about the classic movies channel. I need to sleep more.

I know he's famous and fans are weird and I know Murica has the right to arms and all that, but still crazy to me that a tough sonuvabitch and brick shithouse would feel the need to carry a semi-auto around with him. Definite disconnect between us over the pond. I've only seen a gun in 3 places, at airports, Buckingham Palace, and at the shooting range. Can't imagine people just carrying them around anywhere.

Smart booking on the women's match, protects Britt and Saraya from doing too much, gets Saraya that home town pop and shouldn't need much of a build to be a hot match. Hopefully Stat and Athena get a place on the card... Against each other would be even nicer...

If Stallone doesn't rewrite Expend4bles with that as the first scene he is missing a trick

Did anyone see this? Could be nothing or could be that Cole is about ready to do some backstabbing. Maybe Roddy is mad because he sees what is about to happen?

Yeah, that will be a tough crowd even if she's English. I feel like Shida is an honorary Brit as she learnt our language from watching Harry Potter and the like and has an adorable Japanese/British accent because of it. So who else is going? I'm on the pitch, currently have a spare ticket due to letdowns, will likely resale it soon. Who are you all most looking forward to seeing?

Looking over the roster you can book moments/people that definitely have to be on the Wembley show and work backwards from there to know roughly what could happen. Champions: MJF, Toni (or Shida), FTR, OC, SXEChamp CM Punk should all be considered locks. Acclaimed will rap if not wrestle. Bryan Danielson should appear even if injured. Jamie Hayter should appear even if injured. Jericho will get a prominent role so 80k people can sing Judas. Members of BCC are very likely to wrestle. Members of the Elite are very likely to wrestle. Sting is very likely to appear at least if not wrestle. British wrestlers: PAC is extremely likely to have a match, Saraya & Sabian less so, but likely to appear. Ogogo even less likely. Guest British wrestlers: Nigel McGuinness, ZSJ, and Will Ospreay are all damn near guaranteed to appear. Lesser known names are likely also. Potential celebrity/music/sports crossover acts. Likely there will be a battle royal for both men and women to get as many people on the card as possible. Even from just the above, we can extrapolate one hell of a show.

Rush/Andrade/Dralistico vs HoB when? I'd dig that at Wembley. Also, Silver especially, but all of DO are criminally underused. Fingers crossed they can still salvage themselves to the level of the above teams. Silver could easily have been in the spot OC finds himself in. Equally good in the ring, and was at one time, equally over.
