  1. You know for those of you who aren't Transformers-savvy it might help to explain that Orson Welles wasn't really playing a Transformer so much as he was playing an Eldritch Abomination that happened to take the form of a planet-devouring robot...

    I think it was on a commentary for the 20th anniversary DVD, but someone said that when Welles came in, he said "I understand I'm playing a planet".  For some reason I love that.

     

    It's a good thing that Tom Selleck ended up on a pretty decent TV show, because I'd hate for his last memories to be in those Jesse Stone films.

  2. The first tenant of Rose-ism, is to temper your high expectations by valuing smaller victories. Such as making it to the ECF or beating the Heat during only season games. It's kind of like Hindu asceticism but not as extreme.

    Maybe I need to tell you about  the joys of beating the Heat in the playoffs :)

     

    Because we both already know about the suffering that comes later :/

  3. I IMMEDIATELY thought of the Sidewalk Slam.  It's to the point now where newer fans will cry "botch" if they watch an old tape and hear someone call the Ron Simmons/Booker T spinebuster the sidewalk slam, even though THAT IS THE CORRECT NAME.  I fucking refuse to call the side slam the sidewalk slam.

     

    Also, thanks to goddamn Yukes, people call the Air Raid Crash the Emerald Frosion.  Get that shit out of here.  Also "tiger bomb" drives me nuts.

  4. This is kind of along the same lines.  A friend's mom gave him a box full of tapes a while back.  These tapes originally had old episodes of Wrestling Challenge and Superstars, but sadly had long since been taped over with daytime soaps.  Aside from awesomely reliving 1989 Days of Our Lives(Hope's hair!!!!!), there were a couple of moments where the original recording came through.  One such time was just long enough to see Piper on the set with Vince.  For reasons I don't know, Piper, with arms outstretched, yells "YEEEAAAAHHH HAAAAA"!!

  5. I kinda feel dumb, because I latched onto all of the guys who had zero shot of winning.  Ishii, Devitt, Yujiro and DBS Jr were easily my favorite guys to watch in the tourney.  Hell, I even enjoyed Yano's act for the first time ever.

    I just wanted to say that it took me 2 years, but I finally watched Super 8.  How I avoided spoilers that long is beyond me, but I wish someone had just said to me "dude, it's a wonderful film".  I know there are people that disliked it, but I couldn't love the movie any more.

     

    I liked it a lot as well.

     

     

    Same here. It filled a much needed void for me because you never see movies like The Goonies, ET, etc. anymore. It was the best of those 80s movies that did such a great job at capturing the imagination and sense of wonderment that kids can have and it played out on screen perfectly. I probably spent the whole movie with a huge grin plastered on my face. Love that movie a ton. Plus, it had Coach in it.

     

     

    This was exactly how I felt about it.  Reminded me of all those movies I grew up on.  It's so rare to see a movie with kids these days, where you don't want to punch the shit out of all of them.
