  1. Dammit I was just about to post that exact thing
  2. I hope he signs with, like, Houston just to fuck with everybody. Or Detroit. Detroit would be good.
  3. Words do not exist to describe how much I love that costume.
  4. First time I saw a match end with a leg drop out of nowhere, my jaw hit the floor. And he was so damn quick and fast for his size back in the day. I didn't get in until around 1990, so I'd only seen a small handful of that stuff. I felt like I owed him an apology for my teens/early 20's of hating his work.
  5. Man, the Blondes were awesome. So... Is it time to find out if Terry Gordy is the best dead wrestler ever?
  6. I do advise tracking down the "Tales of Duck & Egg" short stories. Nice little bits of Westerosi history in them, and they aren't, you know, thousands of pages.
  7. http://comicsalliance.com/gilbert-hernandez-sensation-comics-featuring-wonder-woman-dc-digital-first/ In better DC news, Gilbert Hernandez is kicking off the digital Sensation Comics. (Also, I am keeping my expectations as low as I can for Gotham Academy and for the new Batgirl direction, but these are the kinds of things I desperately want DC to be doing, and to do well.)
  8. What does this have to do with Beer Bad?
  9. We'd get him when he's 46 and can only put up 8/4 every night. And he'd still start. *Looks at current Detroit roster* Yeah, he'll still take less bad midrange jumpers.
  10. I tend to agree with Cornette on many more things than Russo, but, damn, Jim E. just comes off like a dick in that, and VINCE FUCKING RUSSO comes off like a mature and reasonable adult.' That's a bad look Jim.
  11. I'm really at a loss to explain the relatively disappointing box office for Dragon 2. It's just now closing in on making it's budget domestically (and it's doing okay internationally, but it's not blowing anyone away.) But the first film is the (non-inflation adjusted) all-time best non-Shrek domestic earner Dreamworks animation has ever released, and was beloved by that audience and critics. An absurd 98% fresh on RT, with a user score of 4.2/5. And the sequel appears for all the world to be getting good word of mouth, at 92% fresh and a user score of an even better 4.4/5. So, I'm lost. Successful and beloved movie, a sequel that appears to be of a roughly equal quality, 4 years of inflation, and... It looks highly unlikely it will even match the first film domestically. (All this is much less depressing than going to the box office thread and discussing what movie just became China's all-time box office king.)
  12. Gin Blossoms are playing tonight just down the road, supporting Train. I am not attending.
  13. And that certain substances that increase muscle mass do not increase the strength of tendons and/or ligaments. #JustSaying
  14. Only if at least one of them is so he can play some DEEEEE-TROIT BASKETBALL
  15. Apatow found the line of where Smith's schtick meets the mainstream for damn sure.
  16. Well, they said they would distribute it. But I doubt Smith has six million just laying around. Self funded is gonna be a lot cheaper.
  17. Shit, I did mean to include Harper. He's definitely my vote for best of the Wyatt Family.
  18. I think I only like three matches more: Shield/Wyatts 1, Bray/Bryan and Shield/Wyatts 2. It's between that and Bray/Cena for me. I'll probably lean back to Bray/Cena because of stuff like the steps but Bray/Dean is a fresh match-up and that gets some points from me. Cena/Cesaro and Bryan/HHH also need to get rewatched promptly for my half-year list. I know I'll be taken to task to this in some form but Bray's the best worker in the WWE right now. I don't think there's even much of an argument at this point, either. He's been involved in possibly the five best matches of the year. Honestly, I think the only two of those that make top 5 for the year so far for me are the Shield tags, and I feel pretty comfortable saying Bray was, at best, the 4th best guy in those matches. Not that I disliked the Bryan match or the Cena match, but I don't think either makes my top 5. Cena/Cesaro on RAW and Bryan/Triple H at Mania were both, for my money, pretty clearly better. And the first Shield/Evolution six-man was right there with the two Shield/Wyatt matches. None of which is to put Bray down as a worker. But I don't think he cracks the WWE's current top 5 in ring guys with Cesaro, Cena, Rollins, Ambrose and a theoretically healthy Daniel Bryan.
  19. 1996. Year one of the two year "How the West became the dominant conference" story. (Year two is, of course, the following year, with San Antonio winning the lottery, and the Bulls breaking up at the end of the season.)
  20. But they are a better one adding Bosh (who can also guard stretch bigs and help keep Howard in the paint) than adding Melo.
