Fuck you, migraine. I have passes to see two movies tonight. Don't ruin this for me.

Yes, yes I am. I've learned the immutable law that the only books I won't finish are the books I mark as "currently reading."

I totally definitely voted for CRONOS (I think)

Re: running - I'd be more worried about my knees.

3. Women's Pro Wrestling Match: Yoshiko

7. KAI Return Match: KAI besiegt Seiya Sanada (16:41) mit dem Splash Plancha.
8. Keiji Muto & Bob Sapp besiegen René Duprée & Zodiac (10:20) nach einem von Muto gegen Duprée.I can't say that the majority of X's are too surprising, though I'd prefer to see some of them in AJ. #6 is probably the most interesting, while the main event is obviously the most "Oh Muto, you so crazy!" -
Hansen & Mossman vs Kawada & Tenryu from 2000. Everyone has something to prove in this match: Kea has to prove that he's the next big thing, Hansen needs to prove he can still bring it, Kawada has to prove that he is All Japan, and Tenryu is making his big come back to AJ. The result is four guys kicking the absolute shit out of each other. Sick match where Hansen punches the ring post and Kawada hits a powerbomb on Kea that folds him up like an accordion.

This thread is amazing and is pretty much my favourite thing on this board.

ROBOCOP Remake is Apparently "Hell" for Director
“I talked to José Padilha for a week by phone. He will begin filming Robocop. He is saying that it is the worst experience. For every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight… ‘This is hell here,’ he told me. ‘The film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again.’ He is bitter, but it’s a fighter.”Year-old report. I'll never understand why you hire a great director and then refuse to let him do his thing.

Apparently Akebono just signed with AJP, so maybe he'll get it. Otherwise, most likely candidate is Doering. Considering Omori just lost to Akiyama, in a match that I was sure was meant to set Omori up as the next contender, it's possible that he'll win this as a way to set him up against Suwama without putting him ahead of Akiyama in the ultimate pecking order.
In other words, I dunno.

I'm 32 and I teach university kids to read good. And now I'm wondering what I need to start/stop doing so I can avoid having knees like Tabe and Johnny.
-
If you haven't, check out the director's other work. ELITE SQUAD and its sequel are kind of amazing.

That's indicative of you're greatness, Natural. I didn't even know that "likes" were limited. Apparently I've been ungenerous.

I got really excited to see new posts in this folder, thinking that we might have started hashing out the fall theme!Sorta sad that I need that motivation to pick up a book at the moment...
If you want, you can play "Read Along with Control's Intro. to Lit" class!

That's what I assumed they're planning
That is safe to pull off if the card is sold out, you just better deliver or it can kill the credibility of the promotion instantly.
It might be safe for the house show, but aren't they broadcasting live as well? I'd think that having at least some of the card set would be helpful for bringing in viewers. Eh, but what do I know.
-
I'm hoping that the plan is not to announce the card, and just surprise everyone on the day.

I lost about 60 lbs over the last year. Looking pretty mean now, though I'm not sure if I've still got a bit of excess stomach fat, or if that's empty flesh. Ew.

I can imagine fifteen year old me going mental for this picture.

First lecture at a new university tomorrow. Somewhat nervous, but it should be great. Excited to be teaching again after a long summer of anti-social research.

I'll try to get on that tomorrow

Yeah, finally he'll be revealed as the sub-top-5-but-still-definitely-top-10 heavyweight that he really is!Seriously, when's the last time Frank Mir looked good in a fight? Even when he wins it's ugly as hell.Jeez, that whole show was, uh, rough. I can't wait for the Barnett facade to crumble when he faces a guy who hasn't been KO'd as many times as Mir (angry I made that switch in my picks, no doubt).

Last Diamond Ring card had a bunch of AJP guys. Anyone know of Miyahara is a full-time thing? Hopefully AJP can get some relief from Kensuke and company.
-
No full card yet, eh? Maybe it'll just be a surprise on the day.

I can't stop playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI. It's old and repetitious and it can eat up an entire day--an entire day!--and I don't have any to spare.

The new Ty Segall album is worth a listen.

THE GOOD NEWS THREAD!
in LAND OF CONFUSION
Posted
I was speaking with a colleague today, and somehow while talking about our research interests we discovered that we're both DVDVR members.
It was weird.
