  1. Just wondering why you do that. I find it fun sometimes, especially with me listening to all the crazy metal and punk I do, where a drop or raise in speed can switch everything up totally. And somehow the vocals still sound normal, unlike, say, putting a 33 1/3 vinyl record on 45 RPM. (Which, if you like Destruction's Infernal Overkill, actually do that on vinyl because it sounds twice as good!)
  2. Heh, you should do Jaws 3D for a tomato can. Or Jaws: The Revenge, just because of Michael Caine's infamous quote "I have never seen it [the film], but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!"
  3. Red Rock West sounds awesome and as soon as I saw THIS picture from the Ebert review I just about lost it I mean, how can that not be the most awesome thing you've never seen? EDIT: And look what I found https://archive.org/details/red.-rock.-west.-1992
  4. Christ, Andrew. That is one hell of a review of Do The Right Thing. Kudos! The funniest thing I've always thought about Pink Flamingos is that the final scene IS NOT the most disturbing or OTT thing in the movie. The... sex... scene is far more disturbing and the party trick is the most OTT. I mean think about it. That guy figured out how to do that in what fashion? And would expose that to who exactly, and for what reason, and then do it in public? ON CAMERA? And he was proud of it. BTW, that guy was later found in a Vice article as an elderly guy, looked like an aged college professor, and finally came out about it. With no explanation other than he was the guy. I just...
  5. Peter Dinklage screaming is somehow the funniest thing ever. Seing Roman Reigns and Jason Momoa on a screen at the same time looking like that is gonna be really, really funny too. Also, Eden is a Ron Howard movie? How did that possibly happen?
  6. I fucking LOVED Ernest as a kid. That's gonna be a must-see. The sad thing is of course, he had one vice that was of all things, cigars. And they took him out.
  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zK0FNRc1T8&ab_channel=TheCrashLuchaLibre Looks like this is the full version of that Crash show above
  8. I didn't get a chance to shit on Mase in the June thread so: he was the pits. He sounded bored. Not boring, but just... bored. Just mumbling his way through verses. Wonder where he fits into the whole Diddy sex scandal, too...
  9. I'll stand for Despy/Kasai too, just watched it. Far as the weapons go it's two panes of glass, light tubes, a BW board, the skewers (those are more comical than anything), and a bed of roses (?!). And chairs. If you've seen a Kasai match you know exactly what you're getting, but the weird shit like razor board and carving knives aren't there, so you can probably hack it. Honestly the worst moment is probably some punches and a headbutt match, and Kasai's knee eating it on the mat from a ladder jump. If you've seen the Kasai documentary where they show his bare knees then you will cringe; they look like potatoes under there, like Terry Funk's in his later life according to Foley. And of course the end of it is just totally suspension-of-disbelief killing. Fun though.
  10. A match where Bob Holly is the stiffest wrestler even though on the other side is Bull Nakano and poor Shinzaki amuses me.
  11. There is a moment with Vampiro on that show that will be the only thing you will ever like him for and it's AWESOME.
  12. I got mine in the mail today and I'm already halfway done with it haha
  13. The last time I watched it I just fast forwarded through all her scenes The whole romantic entanglement sub-plot just seemed unnecessary to me, and felt dated too. A little too 'Hollywood' even for a film based in Hollywood, if you get my drift? Maybe the film's only flaw.
  14. "Truth is, nobody knows why Marcellus threw Tony out that window except Marcellus and Tony. When you little scamps get together you're worse than a sewing circle."
  15. Now THAT is what's goddamn criminal. Jackie Brown is still my favorite Tarantino film, even though it's a cover version. (Unless I get to pick True Romance, of course.)
  16. Get Shorty was on yesterday and I couldn't for the life of me remember his name, had to look it up. One of those odd ones that you either can't forget or can't remember. (Anyway, the movie was good. Travolta apparently had to have them put Elmore Leonard's lines back into the script which is just ridiculous.)
  17. It's been awhile, but I distinctly recall feeling like one of the wives definitely knew about what was going on between the two of them in Brokeback. Don't remember which one though.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3CHZHL38Iw Tarrega 91 - Ckaos Total Here is your new hot-shit dirt-primitive D-beat. No pedals, no forced vocals, just Discharge.
  19. I appreciate a company that is willing to take employees at their word, at things like handshake agreements, verbal agreements, believe that honesty is the best policy and try to promote that and gain trust with your talent in those considerations. But both sides have to do their due diligence and especially before booking is done and people have started working what's been decided upon. At the same time... weed misdemeanor cancelling a Canadian booking. FFS. I totally see why either side would be like "this isn't a problem".
  20. Only problem is Tenay, according to Heenan, hated Tony in real life. This is from the Heenan autobiography. Bobby said he and Mike used to go out drinking together and talk shit about Tony all the time, because he withheld behind-the-scenes info from them and I presume was just arrogant and self-important. This is something I'd love to know Tenay and Tony's individual perspectives about. If Ibushi is able to compete at somewhere near his formal level then I'm happy to see him again, but the thing about Ibushi's whole deal is that you are watching someone that is above everyone else's level; that's his persona and how and why he got over, is by being a freak of nature. Either he can get close and adapt or he changes to something else is how he stays in the game. It's kind of like telling Abdullah he can't stab anyone anymore, you know?
  21. Oh, and definitely watch Malcolm X -- or just read The Autobiography of Malcolm X (a book which frankly changed my whole life perspective).
  22. Jackie Brown should have absolutely won -- and of course it didn't even rate a nomination. Boogie is good but I think it feels aged nowadays when I catch bits and pieces on TV. It's close to something like Blow, quite honestly. The Apostle is great because Robert Duvall is great of course. Perdita Durango is probably the best movie of 1997 though L.A. Confidential is the shiiiiiiit. That's a movie my dad loved that I came around to on my own eventually after I caught the shootout on TV, which has to be a top five shootout in film history. Going back and watching the rest of it, it just puts the "hard" in "hard-boiled". Pierce is such an incorruptable hardass and Crowe you firmly believe should be institutionalized at times. The way the one-way mirror scene pans out at the end is perfect, the shit that goes down in the hotel, the beautifully hilarious scene where Pierce encounters Johnny Stompanado and Lana Turner in the restaurant and that smirk on Spacey's face when he spills the beans to Pierce, trying to hold in his laughter almost to no avail... man, that is a hell of a movie.
  23. Finished part 4 (whew!). Kind of more a wrap-up than anything, but if you haven't seen the Black Saturday episode of Dark Side of the Ring then you'll want to check it. Lot more Gerry talking in 3 and 4.
  24. The AR Fox thing seems like something AEW management should be on top of instead of him being the responsible party. If your average business requires a background check, then they should certainly be up on the criminal history of their employees, and if they're a travelling company that goes overseas they should already know if their employees are able to make those dates. He could have been holding back but I really can't blame Fox in this situation, that's on them. EDIT: Man when I really look at it it makes them look worse. They booked this shit with him in advance without trying to find out whether or not he could make it over the border, and apparently just trusted his word instead of doing an independent check, which couldn't have been that hard. They really stepped on their own dick there.
  25. The somewhat baffled-sounding reaction of the crowd to his video and music coming on should tell them something. You can work the "Tony has a problem" thing into how he decided to work for a company with a gambling theme in the names of most of all their big shows. Maybe say they've discussed about not booking him for Vegas events... I can easily see Callis as someone who takes Tony's action and uses Archer as a legbreaker to squeeze the vig out of him each week.
