And no disrespect intended to Wes Anderson or his work. His films are just not my thing. I am a pretty sophisticated horror movie fan but I am really dense when it comes to comedy.
I think part of the problem with Anderson is that his movies are generally sold as comedies. They're really dramas with comical elements to them. I mean, calling Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums comedies is like calling the Lethal Weapon series comedies because of Riggs' mugging it up and Murtaugh saying, "I'm too old for this shit".

There's more there in the tent scene in The Royal Tenenbaums than there is in most movies all together...

so Slaughter's still in the clear.
Dude he totally beat the shit out of Nemesis Enforcer for America...

When did Gwyneth Paltrow suddenly become Sally Kellerman?

So it looks like the Skins will hire Joe Barry as the defensive coordinator. I believe he is the current LB coach of the Chargers but it sounds like his legacy is that he was the coordinator for the 0-16 Detroit Lions. So in other words a PERFECT hire
Knowing the Skins they might end up hiring Joe Barry Carroll by accident.

I think they've already decided that Dean is their new Mick Foley...maybe for all the hardcore matches with Bray they shoulda had him come out as Jon Moxley...

She even looks kinda like goth Kristen Bell

Yeah I didn't know Taylor Negron was a comedian until I saw him in The Aristocrats. But he will always have a place in my heart for being Mr. Milo in The Last Boy Scout.

Time for Silk Stalkings: the next generation
Scarily, Big Show has seemingly starred in every other USA show so they'd probably get him mixed up in that too.
La Femme Nikita was a legitimately great show, IMO.
Yep. It's a shame LOXG killed Peta's career dead.

Reason number one: If the Authority tried this shit in the 80's/90's, faces would be rioting, and laying out fools.
There's heels going over, and there's booking you faces as spineless cowards that don't stand for anything.
Hogan, Savage, Dusty, Sting, JYD, The Vob Erich's... They wouldn't suffer this shit.
Yeah I mean, I just don't think heel promoter works unless you've got a Stone Cold figure who doesn't play by the rules on the face side. Someone should be showing up at the end there with a pool cue to beat Triple h's head in with it...
It's like Taken 4 starting out with Bryan Mills standing around doing nothing the first hour while Albanians kick around his daughter and his old CIA buddies...
-
The way they're burying faces not named Roman Reigns, I can only assume that they're terrified of letting another Daniel Bryan slip through the cracks. I think the McMahons are still pissed that they didn't get to do Conquering Hero Batista Returns To Win Title last year, even moreso after Guardians Of The Galaxy blew up.

I watched the first season of THE WIRE last week and just couldn't get into it.
Today I watched the HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREETS pilot and discovered a much, much better show basically by the same guy.
I've been saying this for years...

^ Well I can't say that he's the first guy to do it, but the first guy I think of when I think of invincible action hero is Bruce Lee. I mean, you look at other kung fu movies of the 70's, the hero has to train ridiculously hard or even team up with others to barely scrape by the big bad. Then you watch The Big Boss or Fist Of Fury and Bruce just curbstomps whole groups of guys, and even when he gets to the final fight or two you get the sense it only goes on for any length at all because he's playing with the guy.

Start some ragamuffin 'meet a sports star' company to milk marks for easy cash.
At least it got him a cameo on "Orange Is The New Black"...

For a while, after Dwight was camped out at his Sister's house and he was waiting for the people from the other family to come after him, the movie felt like an adult version of "Home Alone". Until it no longer did. I am probably the only person that got this impression.
No actually I think that was the point. Dwight is trying to do things that work in the movies, except it doesn't work because Blue Ruin really is the vigilante deconstruction that flicks like Death Sentence or The Brave One pretended to be. Dwight never "levels up", all his initial plans fail miserably, and he only survives due to the fact that his opposition aren't much more competent than he is. For another example, compare Dwight's attempt at DIY first aid to Anton Chigurh's in No Country For Old Men. Whether it's assassination, home defense, self-surgery, or hostage negotiation, one of the recurring themes of the film is Dwight realizing that real life doesn't work like the movies.
