  1. I'm having a hard time with the idea that Hogan had less than 30 defenses during his 49 month first title reign.  Partly because I watched about 12 title defenses of his up through 9/7/84 a few years ago for an aborted Hulkamania project.  And his reign lasted another 3+ years after that.

  2. It's just too damn easy to add color filters in post these days.

     

    It used to you had to gel up the lights, and get it all perfectly lit with the exact right color combinations and you only did when it had a serious (at least in the minds of the director and DP) artistic reasons.

     

    Now, you shoot it in normal light, and can just fiddle with color filters on the computer until you whatever looks cool.

     

     

     

    Yes, I am bitching about modern technology right now.  Get the hell off my lawn.

  3. I...  You mean someone might actually take Smith's contract?

     

    And even give the Pistons something in return for him?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Seriously?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    No, seriously?

     

     

    Cause if we can clear the triple big logjam by moving him, then by all means resign Monroe.

  4. Oh shit, Detox never came out? Weren't there two singles released from it?

     

    I believe he started work on it the first time in 2001.  Abandoned it, returned and basically started over years later (there was definitely one single released during that time period, maybe two) and then it just kinda...  stopped.

     

    I loved last year when Snoop did a AMA, "When is Detox coming out" was one of the questions, and he was just "I have no fucking idea."

     

    And...  Yup, still waiting Dre.

     

    And that was Heltah Skeltah, bro.  Get it right.

     

    I'm still not sure how it became a D.O.C. album.

  5. Honestly, I barely remember the movie except for the incredibly stupid "survived an atomic explosion in a fridge" scene that led to me making the same "Indy 5 will be Indiana Jones and the Incredibly Painful Death from Cancer" joke roughly 8,000 times in the next two weeks.

     

    I also remember hating it.  HATING it.

     

    But what in particular I hated...  Eh, it was years ago and I'm not about to revisit it.

     

     

    (AND FUCKING WATCH RAIDERS, DUDE!!!!!!!)

  6. Thing about TMNT is, it works best (and I am going to flat out say the original comics are the best it ever worked) when it's completely absurd, but presented completely straight.  Giant anthropomorphized turtles who are A.) Teenagers and B.) Ninjas is an incredibly ridiculous idea, but it should never be laughed at in universe.  Play it perfectly straight, and let the humor come from the basic premise.

  7. Interestingly enough, despite being out on blu-ray/dvd/streaming/etc, The Lego Movie is still selling tickets, and actually went back ahead of Winter Soldier for #1 on the year, by a little less than 20,000 bucks.
