Inoki never coming out of retirement for a big match is one of my biggest life mysteries. I just assume he had some legit injury type issues he never disclosed. Especially when IGF first started, him coming out of retirement for 'one more match' against Ogawa or something would have done great business.

I didn't think the show held up as well on re-watch. I liked the first five seasons or so at the time and it still definitely has its funny moments, but other times it is just cringeworthy.

Ha sorry, yea I didn't see anything on the first page so I assumed it didn't exist. Although I do think a combined thread makes more sense for free shit

Wow where is that? My local theater has it airing 14 times today, although I am not sure how many screens that is.

I am pretty sure he made that up, he wasn't told to bring Poe anywhere. He went in there on his own to get him out and lied to the guard. Poe getting off Jakku, that was half assed writing. But not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't change the fact Poe should've been heavily guarded, and Fin shouldn't have been left to wander around doing whatever he wanted while he was under review. The good guy in action/adventure movies not being heavily guarded is a common theme, didn't really bother me. I mean in Episode IV, Leia had really no guards when Luke rescued her, I haven't seen the movie in awhile but I don't think he shot anyone to get to her. Rey only had one guard, since they knew at that point she had force powers I'd think you'd be more annoyed about that, they should have known better.

I don't think anyone would have ever predicted any movie to become the top domestic movie in 18 days. That is beyond crazy and something literally no one said was possible three weeks ago. It is on a different level then we've ever seen, at least in the modern movie era.

We probably should change the title but I don't want to start a new thread. Here are the free Xbox Games with Gold for January: Thief (Xbox One) - December 16-January 15 Killer Instinct: Season One Ultra Edition (Xbox One) -- January 1-31 Zheros (Xbox One) -- January 16-February 15 Dirt Showdown (Xbox 360) -- January 1-15 Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Xbox 360) -- January 16-31 All the Xbox 360 games are also playable on the XBox One, so its basically five free games for Xbox One owners with Gold. For XBox One owners, the easiest way is to go to the website and download the 360 games, then they will appear on the One. They can't be grabbed straight from the store in the XBox One Dashboard. Hopefully they will streamline that at some point.

Box Office Mojo's weekend estimate has Star Wars just about evening up with Avatar domestically from this weekend's total. Even if it doesn't quite hit that mark, its still unbelievable how much money it has made.

Have you watched the movies or just read about them the past decade? I stopped watching Star Wars when it started sucking too. Doesn't mean I still wasn't interested in what they were up to. Well luckily you're in the only 10% that doesn't like the movie, maybe Star Wars just isn't for you. I wouldn't like the Harry Potter movies, so I didn't watch them and didn't complain about them. Just an idea.

I am pretty sure he made that up, he wasn't told to bring Poe anywhere. He went in there on his own to get him out and lied to the guard. Poe getting off Jakku, that was half assed writing. But not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Shit I still have the last one on PS4 to play, I forgot about that.

I got seven games for Christmas. Its ridiculous. I am still playing Fallout 4 I am thinking once I am done with that, the correct play order will be GTA V, MGS V, Divinity: Original Sin, Ori and the Blind Forest, Gears of War Enhanced, Darksiders 2, and Rare Replay. Some of those are really long games so I should be well occupied until at least the summer. I think Dark Souls 3 is the only game coming out the next nine months that I must play near its launch. It is interesting we all (well three of us) are still plugging away at Fallout 4. I have avoided that thread because I didn't want spoilers, but I guess I am not the only one that enjoys it but it didn't suck me in enough that I "must play it" ever day to beat it.

This is my shit right here.

I think if they just do one a year they will be ok, at least through IX. If they were smart, they'd do one a year through IX, then wait three years and repeat the process. But as long as they make a profit I don't think they will stop. I personally don't mind one a year, I love Star Wars and the whole universe, there are plenty of stories to tell. I'd love if they mixed in some darker ones, I wouldn't mind one more oriented to kids, I hope they get creative with it.

Yea just like how Episode 1 did better than 2 or 3. My guess would be Episode VII will do the best, then IX and finally VIII. In fact I'd predict VIII will be seen as a disappointiment after how VII did, I don't envy them as they set the bar really high. But I think every Star Wars movie will make at least 500 million domestic (even the off-shoot movies) as long as they don't do more than one a calendar year and oversaturate the market.

I think it got slept on by some people, I know its not everyone's cup of tea but it was one of my favorite games in years. Loved the orc hierarchy system, the combat, just everything.

That's true, but that didn't hurt Avatar's numbers at all and Star Wars has a huge fanbase over the age of 18. It will continue to dip of course but I don't think it will be a big one when school starts back up.

Well, Avatar did 481 million after Day 13 which is where Star Wars is now. They were an oddity, but so is Star Wars, so I don't think it is impossible.

Passed Avengers easily, another 28 million estimated yesterday for Star Wars, just unprecedented territory. On the day to day it is still 10 million ahead of Avatar, wonder when those numbers will finally draw even. It should have 700 million by Monday.

What do you mean did nothing with it? A multi-billion dollar franchise with 6 successful movies, 7 million video games, 30 years of popular EU comics/novels, insane merchandising, and permanent cultural foothold that 30 years after the first movie you have the president of the United States playing with lightsabers on the White House lawn. I think he did a lot for a dude who just wanted to make a movie like the shorts he saw as a kid. I said next to nothing, your quoting needs work, and compared to what he could have done, he did next to nothing after Return of the Jedi. Episodes 7, 8, and 9 (plus the movies, toys, etc. between) will make more money than Star Wars did from 1983 to 2013. He gets credit for the first three movies, that's it. And he should have just sold it in the mid 1980s for lots of money if he wasn't interested in doing more with it, no one would have blamed him and he'd still be rich. The whole thing is silly, no he shouldn't feel salty. He created a product, he made lots of money with it, and then sold it for a lot of money. Americans do that every day, just with much much much much smaller numbers. It is an IP, not an actual baby.

George Lucas had one of the most valuable IPs of the last 30 years and did next to nothing with it. And when he did do something, it was disappointing. Then he got 4 Billion. I hope no one feels sorry for him. I am glad that Disney got it so that I can enjoy Star Wars again.

Star Wars barely crossed over 600 Million in the movie's 12th Day. I can't imagine a scenario it doesn't beat Avatar domestic, it is just too far ahead. It may not have the highest 5th, 6th, etc. weekend but it isn't going to matter. I went and saw it today at 9 AM and the theater was full. I am mostly curious if it somehow does 1 billion domestic, 800 million is a given at this point as far as I'm concerned. Worldwide is another issue, Star Wars isn't as big of a deal in a lot of other countries so I don't think it will pass Avatar there. Should beat Jurassic World no problem, 2 billion is probably a good high-end goal.

Impressive to hit it for the show (probably more fair at this point to compare it to say Real Japan or Legend if they still exist than promotions that run the venue a few times a month), it will be interesting to see if they can maintain it. Nostalgic sometimes has staying power but it usually doesn't, it was an interesting little show though. I always root for sleazy shit so I hope they keep airing the shows also.

I hope not. Envy was tweeting a lot about SEAdLINNNG even when she was still in Stardom last summer, I think she is just friends with and/or really likes Takahashi so was being nice. Since they had her in the finals of the GP, I hope once she heals from her injuries that they have her back.

The issue is not that he had a drink, the issue is that they believe he has a drinking problem. He went to rehab for something, and he hasn't behaved like someone who took his rehabilitation seriously. This isn't about someone not being able to have a drink, this is about whether or not that person is capable of having a drink responsibly. They do not believe he can, and he knows they don't believe he can control his drinking. Somehow he not only keeps drinking, but he keeps drinking in places where he can be filmed drinking. If he was just having a glass of wine at dinner or toasting at a wedding, I don't think they'd care, but he is drinking in places with people who don't even respect him enough not to film him and put it on the internet. I'm not famous, but when was the last time you drank with someone who would film you and put it on the internet if they knew it could cost you your job? Either he's drinking with complete strangers or with people who don't have his best intrests in mind. His judgement seems a little worse than questionable, and that is the problem. How can you put your team in the hands of somoene who could end up in rehab when you need him the most? The problem is that a quarterback is too integral to the success, or lack thereof, to risk the future on your team on someone who may be an alcoholic. I don't necessarily disagree with all that, he has an issue for sure. But there are probably 100 other sports players in those clubs too, we see it in the NBA, MLB, etc. Even if you don't compare him to someone like me, but even compared to other athletes he gets a lot of scrutiny. I do think he has an alcohol problem and needs help. I just don't see where he is doing more than other sports athletes, and it doesn't appear to be impacting his game which would be totally different. I don't mind them benching him, they have that right, I just don't know what the endgame is. He has the popularity and talent that another NFL team would sign him if the Browns cut him, and he hasn't done anything illegal like 12% (made up number) of the players playing in the league have but are still starting. It seems like you said, like a preemptive benching in case he does do something illegal which is unusual on the professional level. Has any other active player ever been benched just for having a drinking problem with no crimes? There are players with DUIs on their record currently starting in the NFL.
