  1. Nakamura seems like a great call. Not that it's ever likely to happen as he's probably doing just fine in New Japan and WWE are unlikely to want him, but they could bring him in tomorrow as some kind of crazed, drunken knee-assassin and he'd be one of the best things on any of their shows. I'd also pay good money to see Yujiro Takahashi turn up as the fourth member of 3MB, complete with spectacular porno-sax entrance music.

    I want Yujiro to be booked absolutely everywhere, gimmick untouched.

     

    If I had to make a list of guys with size/charisma/style that could work in WWE, it would be Tanahashi, Nakamura, Morishima, Okada, possibly Minoru Suzuki(He has a simple style).  Outside shot of Nagata.

  2. New Japan wrestler already work a version of the WWE style.

    Very much so.  NJPW right now is a weird hybrid of WWE style with some strong style still mixed in, and MUCH more engaging characters.

     

    If they work the WWE style they have nothing to get themselves over with.

    I also agree with this.  I mentioned Tanahashi, Okada and Kojima specifically because they have outstanding physical charisma, and could possibly get over either way.  With that said, very few of the very top guys over there are working the dangerous 90's-mid 2000's style anymore.

  3. They don't know how to push someone who can't cut a promo, either.  I'm sure Muta would have been over with them, since he had an existing fanbase.  Bring over a Tanahashi, Okada or even a Kojima, and don't fucking change how they work, and they would get over.  No, they won't be main event guys, but present them as legit threats, and leave the tired racist shit they always do out of it, and they will get over as legit threats.

  4. Goddamn it I like Terminator Salvation. I like it a lot. The scene where John escapes the bunker, gets in a chopper, is shot down, then is attacked by a Terminator is great. I'm not usually a big "OOOH ONE TAKE THIS AUTOMATICALLY MAKES IT GOOD" guy like the people that liked Children of Men are, but it worked great in here.

     

    All the nods to the previous movies are boss too.

     

    I probably need to watch this again.  I hated it on first viewing to the point where I literally remember nothing from this film.  I'm certain I lost track of about 20 minutes while I was watching it.

  5. I wouldn't have hated the neck snap nearly as much as I did, if it didn't feel like a totally avoidable action.  They did a horrible job of making it look like it was Superman's only course of action.  The people Zod were aiming at stood there like fucking idiots.  Superman could have flown up with Zod, fell to the side with Zod, fell backwards with Zod, thrown Zod to the ground, hell, I would have accepted Superman doing the side Russian Legsweep to Zod.  I get the feeling alot of other folks would have at least accepted it, if the situation were less avoidable.

  6.  

     

    The amount of exposition in The Dark Knight Rises is staggering.

    I like the movie, but yeah, I agree.  That was one of my many problems with Man of Steel, though.

     

     

    Well, one of those films is suppose to be an origin story.

     

    The exposition in Man of Steel that bugged me was the entire scene they spent having Jor-El explain everything that we already saw an hour earlier.

  7.  

    Y'all act like Spiderman 3 wasn't going to make a shit ton of money either way.  The first two were popular as hell.  People were going to see the 3rd no matter what.

    I;m not sure what the conversation is since we established Batman won the rogues debate, but this feels off topic again.

     

    People were talking about how the regular movie going audience didn't care about Sandman, as if that would have any bearing on whether or not people actually saw the movie.

  8. I just watched THE WORLD'S END.  It was very fun, but definitely at the bottom of the Frost/Pegg trilogy(I don't count Paul).  Nothing wrong with it, just not on the level of SHAUN OF THE DEAD or HOT FUZZ.  However, I thought the fight scenes were off the hook.  Jackie Chan would be proud of the choreography.  It's kinda sad that a comedy movie put together fight scenes that blow away anything I've seen in a big budget action movie in the last 15 years.
