Grammar is clearly not going to be my strong suit here on the new board either...

I'm slightly better, I'm just still using yahoo. I have a gmail, but I don't really use it, and only check it like every other week or so.

Don't they call it relegation?

If Stafford has a few more seasons like his last two, his career stats will start to verge on HOF territory. If he has, say, 5 more. But the Lions can't win having him throw the ball 700 times a season, at least not consistently. They need a much better running game, and god I hope they get it.

That's actually a pretty good description of Chewie...

IIRC, Wan only directed the first Saw film. Which is fairly distinct stylisitically (or at least it was before it became a hit. Ted last year did absurd business, owing at least in part to being brilliantly shifted up the schedule when G.I. Joe bailed on 2012.

Truth is, I can't bring myself to give even the slightest hint of a damn about guys being on PEDs. It just doesn't matter to me at all. Barry Bonds is still the greatest baseball player I ever saw.

I'd be very surprised if someone made a big-budget live action hollywood movie about kaiju vs. giant mecha that was deep.

I had absolutely zero problems with Mandarin, either version. Bane never came off even slightly threatening to me, possibly because I was giggling about his incredibly stupid voice every time he talked. At least the Manadrin stuff in IM3 was intentionally funny.

I liked the villains in IM3 way more than I did Bane. The entire concept of Bane in TDKR was, too me, fundamentally broken on every level.

Man, Sandow and Orton would be the two guys I least wanted to win. Sandow remains one of the most worthless guys on the roster. Cena/Henry was damn good, and ADR/Ziggler was pretty decent before the finish.

I think as far as trilogy to trilogy goes, I'd say Iron Man and Batman Beings are fairly close, I'd give a slight edge to Iron Man 3 over TDKR, and a HUGE edge to The Dark Knight vs. Iron Man 2.

Or it's just that every single cyclist is doping, so they are bound to catch some...

Nah. I love Page, but Goldberg was red hot at a time when the company was sinking. He was their only hope in holding off the collapse (of course, they never seemed to fully commit to his title run being the center of the company...) I do think they waited too long before they did finally put the belt on Page though, so, maybe.

Not positive it's Page's best match (some of the stuff with Savage and Benoit are really good) but I think it's easily his best performance. Goldberg pretty much hadn't gone more than about 8 minutes with anyone, Page drags him to like 12 or 15 minutes, and builds an utterly compelling match around the idea of the diamond cutter. Sure, Page is no tougher/better than the other guys Goldberg has ran through, but he can hit the Cutter at any time. Can he hit Goldberg with it? Will it keep Goldberg down? The entire match is brilliantly built around that. Goldberg holds his end better than he had at any time up to that point, but it's the Dallas Page show, and he was just ON. Heresy. And it's called Seed of Chucky, not Son.

So, we've more or less found J.T. It's time to start the search for Jingus.

Miggy is on pace for a better season than he had last year. If Davis cools off a bit in the second half, he's got a good shot at back to back triple crowns, as well.

Well, you also had Iron Man 3 and Despicable Me 2 absolutely raking in the dough, so, hard to say. Pacific Rim proves again that movies that are absurdly hyped in the geekier corners of the internet do not necessarily translate to success (see Snakes on a Plane, Pirannha 3D*, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World...) *It did do enough to get a sequel with an absurd title, at least...

Well, since it performed below expectations, it was. Clearly. It's not a debatable point. It made less money in the U.S. than was expected. It's a disappointment. But, no, that wasn't the point at all. The point was that The Avengers kicked the ever-living shit out of it at the box office, much like IM3 has done to MoS.

I don't know, two straight years of losing the box office battle against lighter-hearted more fun Marvel superhero movies might very well lead to a change in direction for WB as it pertains to the DC movies. With Avengers making roughly all the money, and IM3 kicking Man of Steel's ass, Hollywood is nothing if not a gang of copycats. (Of course, GL was fairly light-hearted, and it wasn't very good and it bombed, so maybe not.)

Dude, you clearly have never seen Bride of Chucky. It is a shockingly fun movie. Also, DDP/Goldberg is one of my all-time favorite WCW matches.

Smallville suddenly got really good in season 3, iirc, and then started working it's way back down. I gave up in season 6, but I've heard that the last two or three seasons were an improvement.

Wow. That's a shame. 31 years old.

The big question is tone. Do they want to continue down the gritty, plausibly realistic path that Nolan built, or do they want to lighten Batman back up a bit? That will go a long way towards determining who is on the shortlist with Warner gets around to building one.

Well, obviously, my answer to anything is Joss Whedon. Um... God, I'd still love to see Arnofosky do Batman, or any superhero film, really. Soderberg missed the window. When Clooney was Batman, it would have been the time.
