...and at the same time no matter how much we appreciate the little stuff and safe work we are still gonna love someone shoot pushing someone locked in a stretcher off a ramp. Being a wrestling fan, it's a burning thing, and it makes a firey ring

Well, John Geils passed. I hate playing Grim Reaper on here, someone else please take up the mantle http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2017/04/11/523489861/john-geils-guitarist-of-the-j-geils-band-dies-at-71 This is splendidly Blue Oyster Cult

It's not as good as the last one (and I somewhat fear a total wimp-out) but there are some really good songs there, especially that one which is the stand-out to me. They might have hit their sweet spot in between the first album and this one but I still like it.

Well shit, thank you for the clarification. Sugi is better and that makes me feel bad for both of them.

Stephen King's argument for Wait Until Dark as horror is becoming very palpable right now in the conversation. The Guinea Pig films aren't mondo and are definitely horror (some even bordering on horror-comedy for that matter) but yeah, I can't say Mondo Cane, Mondo Pazzo, etc. People putting Cannibal Holocaust on their 100 are gonna have hell to go through, haha... not from me, but from everyone else. EDIT: Wait Until Dark is listed as "Horror - Thriller" on iMDB so it's def. going on my list. And isn't it funny that Charlie Sheen, Mr. Tiger Blood himself, was the one that dropped a dime to the FBI about the first Guinea Pig movie? Which, BTW, shouldn't be on anyone's list, no matter how good the effects are, ya sickos. Same thing for anyone wanting to do Faces of Death -- does that really crack any kind of top 100 of any genre?

As much as I enjoy Shibata's work (and those of all great wrestling "meat-choppers" and crowbars) at times, Tana's on the mark. There's no future in it when you can't pull off an exciting match without a shoot headbutt that busts yourself open hardway and possibly seriously injures yourself or your opponent. It limits you to being a special attraction like Lesnar and if you're only getting your jollies stiffing people, there's probably a bar you can go to that can provide that instead.

He Never Died was shockingly great. If that one slipped under anyone's radar they need to go back and find it. I've never been one for Rollins as an actor but that's a role he was born to play.

That's almost as creepy as Angle... almost, just not quite.

Is there a single photo of Angle that doesn't give one the heebie-jeebies anymore? I might have to watch that movie where he plays a serial killer. Well, okay, maybe not

Rhea Seehorn is not my type at all but is so goddamn adorable. Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantrout has suddenly taken on my inner personality when I talk to younger folks than me that need advise, whether asked for or not. I'm now reading things on Facebook in his voice when I respond to people. It's weird, but it feels right.

It's not like my sorry ass has anything else going on on a Friday night anyway haha. Might as well do something productive while I'm busy drinking after work. The Canadian Destroyer is just as stupid as Bushi's finisher so I'm not surprised. Yeah, we need Liger and the crew to crowbar some of these guys. Hell, bring back Takaiwa! That'll teach 'em a lesson in violence.

So it'll be like watching '80s pro wrestling! No problem! I too need to revisit that one. Haven't seen it since I was what... 11? There are gonna be so many films we are gonna forget about. Thinking of Society reminds me of the video store I rented it from, which reminds me of the '70s version of The Children they had for rent there which I saw later on TV and was so messed up. EDIT: It's 1980 actually. And the "The" just reminded me of The Baby. We need to keep this from getting into a total sleaze fest... I am so tempted

SHIBATA/FISH started off real slow but picked up a bit with lots of work on Shibata's injured shoulder and leg with Fish throwing in some interesting switch-ups to go on offense like when he grabbed Shibata's leg out of a PK attempt in a flash. Just when it looks like Bobby has him Shibata unceremoniously grabs him by the hair, twists him around to face him, and shoot headbutts him with an echoing *CLONK*. Then he does the sleeper-to-PK and it's over like that. Eh. At least he busted himself open. There was also the expected no-selling of kicks while sitting on the floor and the expected you suplex me then I get up and suplex you Fighting Spirit horseshit that just needs to go away already. KUSHIDA/BUSHI: Well I'll be damned, I just saw an atomic drop in a Juniors match. Actually in 2017, no matter the match, that's different. BUSHI setting up a chair to dropkick the back of it into KUSHIDA's face is innovative too. Then he bonks Kushida's head on the mat twice while he has it in a leg triangle, haha. Bushi (I'm done capitalizing this shit) is all about the heel cheating which is pretty fitting as to his real life personality. Wow, Kushida heaves himself right over the top and blasts Bushi with a lariat at top speed, that looked sweet. Red Shoes gets blasted by a dropkick (oh if that only didn't happen more often) which allows for a misting and Naito interference. Elgin comes in and slams both Bushi and Naito at the same time. Ugh. It is amusing to see Elgin limp out in his gym clothes. Red Shoes' pathetic scene-stealing ass is still selling. The Canadian Destroyer seals it for me, fuck this match. Remember back when Yoshitsune (AKA Bushi) and Fujita Jr. Hayato had that barn-burner for the M-Pro belt back in like '08? Yeah, this ain't that. Fuck Bushi.

I feel like an idiot not naming that when I was just writing about it a page back.

Heh, my bad. The Robert Irvine Show appears to be a Springer-esque talk show. I thought it was a reality show which is why that blurb seemed so ridiculous; Gail could remove his appendages one by one if he suggested she slim down probably.

Well, if this is true, then do we get JR and Mauro trading places on their respective shows possibly? Jim did sign a WWE contract as I recall.

Kevin Sullivan can now be Bray Wyatt's daddy and form a new Dungeon of Doom. Hey, the future for either couldn't be any worse than that, right?

Reminds me, new Pallbearer is pretty good

It's so funny watching One Night Stand and hearing that generic theme playing while the whole crowd is singing "Enter Sandman".

On the topic of both body shaming and Gail Kim, I was scrolling down the channel guide the other day and an episode of her husband's show read something like "Robert demands his wife to get in shape before an event". I was like, "you're telling that to a fucking pro wrestler?!"

What, the cheapest man in wrestling not squeeze a buck out of literally anything?

Masque of the Red Death is my Price pick. And Phibes of course And dammit haven't seen Mystery in the Wax Museum either...

True. This might be a temporary repository in the meantime though. Documentary... shit, I'm already thinking about this too hard.

I saw the end in a 5 AM haze one morning when I was waking up on TCM and that's it. Guess what? BOOM. This needs to be the thread where we post all these links so we don't forget by September.

That was great.
