Just got back from Late Night with the Devil. Absolute masterpiece. Still thinking about it, can't wait to watch it again and show the rest of the family. Totally immersive and the tension is phenomenal. Brilliant.
I've been looking forward to this ever since someone said it was Rosemary's Baby crossed with Network, but it actually exceeded my expectations. It feels like a spiritual successor to The Exorcist. I watch a lot of horror and consider a film making me jump or have a guttural reaction a great compliment to the filmmakers but when... SPOILERS...
SpoilerWhen they were going through the footage frame by frame and his dead wife's ghost appeared with her hand on his shoulder
I swear I had goosebumps run all the way from my toes to my scalp. Haven't reacted like that to a movie in over a decade. I'll see how I feel in a few days but this could be the best movie I've seen since Uncut Gems.
Hope this is a big success love to see what Shudder(?) could make next with a bigger budget.

As someone with no tattoos... would it hurt to take bumps on it?

If anyone is looking for those 2 Shane Taylor chops, sync up when the bell rings and go 2mins44 ahead, it's just into picture in picture. He's known for his chops but damn the acoustics must be crazy there because it sounds like a whip-crack

Voted for Alien just on name value I think it will make bank. But Blink Twice has piqued my interest with that cast of 80s and 90s actors.

I hope they show highlights of BCC / CMLL + Bryan / Panther on this show too. To show prospective new fans that AEW showcases all styles of wrestling, not just the North American generic WWE style. Maybe a 5 minute highlights package would be better than whatever this worked shoot shoot work stuff will be.

Standing on the same desk I thought the Archer/Danielson match was motn. Did you see that running leg kick BD did at one point? He legit sprinted at him and kicked his hamstring as hard as he could. It looked... real. Which is why we're here after all. Love for Archer to get some gold as a thank you for heating up his opponents for the last five years.

Could the Rock's Bloodline steal Priest's case and cash it in on a newly crowned Cody so we leave WM with the Final Boss as champ? Not that I'm putting that out into the ether or anything, I just wondered if that's a thing that could plausibly happen? I'm not an avid WWE watcher so don't know.

KINDS OF KINDNESS (dir. Yorgos Lanthimos)
I don't know what the fuck this is but it looks awesome.
Three cast members of Poor Things too, did they film it back to back or something?

Did you actually type this or do we have a framistan for 'power twink'
I think the word you're looking for is 'twunk'. I recently learned the definition myself and they qualify.
As for Mone, that's really on AEW, she isn't the best talker and isn't going to know how to improvise well yet being institutionalised by WWE, so why put her on commentary? Just walking out on the ramp for a staredown would've had the same effect. Was nice she's been scouting some talent though.
I like the idea of Copeland working the Callis family next. He can get through Hobbs and Fletcher, barely survive Takeshita then lose cleanly to Ospreay furthering that storyline of Ospreay being part of the family but also 'the best' member of it also.

For those of you in the know, can I ask what's the differences in powers between Mystique and Morph? Morph has their powers too? If so, isn't he OP and Mystique kind of trash in comparison?

I'm sorry no, not allowed. James Bond can't be younger than me, it will rip a hole in the fabric of spacetime or something.

What are we thinking for the finish of Christian/Copeland? Cope tortures Killswitchasauraus and CC doesn't care, but then quits when he does the same to Nick Wayne? Or some other shenanigans~?

The Rock was also attached to Jet Li's The One (2001) which would have been a different movie... Instead, he decided to do Scorpion King.

With Aminata, a newly heel Stat and Kamille, Mercedes will do well to change up her style a bit to play the David vs Goliath role a bit more. AEW is full of tall women now.

"When the full moon is high, so is he"
and
"You can run, you can hide, but he will sniff you out"
I feel like the creators thought of the taglines first then worked backwards from there

I still want a buddy cop movie with Cena and Rock with Austin as their surly Captain. Batista should be in it too.
Someone needs to do Cannonball Run wrestling edition already too smh.

You know how HBK was roided out of his gourd in the 90s but was still an amazing worker? Then he came back after losing his smile, was born again, had gotten clean and was significantly smaller but he was still HBK so you could still buy him against guys like Taker etc.
Well, Adam Cole is like the reformed clean HBK, just without having done the 90s era to give him enough history to be that believable. He shouldn't be going move for move with anyone over 200lbs. In his matches, he needs to play the Jerry to the Tom a bit more.

And I think THIS is potentially confusing to the uninitiated because if Nigel is a heel, why is he criticizing someone who ostensibly a fellow heel? (Danielson is about the hardest heel-leaning tweener possible if you want to look at it that way, at least.)
His hate for Bryan transcends Heel/Face boundaries.
If Eddie wasn't feuding with Bryan there's no way Nigel would be cheering him on. If Eddie goes into a feud with Christian after this for example I think you'd see a Heenanesque pivot in Nigel's opinion of him. It's all because he hates Bryan.

I'm a big fan of "bad but fun" movies, so I'm probably not the best judge, but I've liked Rock's whole career pretty much, Doom & Southland Tales both mentioned above are standouts for being something different from what he normally does. Shit, I'd even rewatch Scorpion King as a guilty pleasure.
Having said that, when he was getting started and Schwarzenegger had that passing of the torch cameo moment in The Rundown, there was this expectation that he would be the next Arnie. But really he's never once matched the peaks of Arnie's career. There's no Terminator, no Predator, hell there's not even an equivalent to Twins, Junior or Jingle All The Way.
Maybe this heel turn in wrestling may also work as a creative spark in his film endeavours. I'd love to see him as a bad guy on the big screen as we know he can do it so well in wrestling.

I am about as far from being a mountaineering expert as you can get, living in the flatlands of England, so I don't know if this is against the laws of physics. But I had this idea that a dastardly heel should hire a helicopter, land at Everest's peak wearing an oxygen mask and then hit Darby with a steel chair he brought with him. I shouldn't be hired by anyone.
