  1. I didn't say only heroes die. I'm just saying, guy starts acting like a hero, maybe you should start planning a funeral...
  2. Then maybe in the relaunch the writer will break them apart, depower/kill one of them before finally returning to the status quo and leaving the book. Most writers on the book have done that anyways. Isn't James Robinson currently doing some sort of depower/deconstruction of status quo? There was a Fantastic Force book back in the 1990's. Actually, I think Breevort wrote it. Same situations. There were rumors the title was going to be canceled (and replaced by a new book, Fantastic Force). Rumors supposedly weren't true, but Marvel decided to use the title anyway. Think the book was set in the future with new characters. Vaguely remember Franklin Richards being the main character. There was also a Fantastic Force mini using alternate dimension characters from Millar's run, iirc. They've had two FF books lately. One during Hickman's run starring the Future Foundation kids, the other from Matt Fraction's run starring the "replacement FF" - FF was dimension hopping in the main title. Don't know that any of those books sold well. I wouldn't necessarily mind seeing the FF take a break. I'm not really big fans of the characters, and they seem stale to me even when i like the writers. I"m not really in favor of benching one of Marvel's iconic titles, though, especially when the only reason seems to be "someone else is going to make money off the movie" Did the first two FF movies even turn a profit? I assume they did, since the sequel got made, but both are fairly reviled and poorly reviewed. First one did 154 million domestic, and 330 worldwide on a reported budget of 100 million. So it almost certainly turned a profit, albeit probably not a huge one. Second one got a budget jump to 130, and did only 131 domestic, and an abysmal worldwide total of 289. It probably lost money on theatrical, but likely wound up slightly in the black by the time all the revenue streams were in.
  3. Yeah, that's much more definitive than what he had said before.
  4. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver completely justified it's existence last night. Holy fuck.
  5. This movie is, even by the standards of being from the 70's AND from Japan, incredibly fucking weird. The random pop art animated sequences, the amount of time spent at a night club, the hippie protest to try and make the monster go away... But Hedorah is legitimately pretty creepy at times, the fights are really good, and "Godzilla uses his radioactive breath to fly after Hedorah" is just on the right side of "goofy awesome" vs. "goofy stupid."
  6. Shit, that was an IYH, right? I've always wondered if that was a work or if JR's mic was just really busted and they ran with it.
  7. Man, I wish an unedited subtitled version of 1985/The Return would actually be commercially released in America one of these fucking days.
  8. So, Spurs in 6. (There was definitely better post play during Jordan's run, especially the first 3-peat. There is definitely more athleticism and smarter offenses in today's era. The 80's-90's teams would mug today's current teams, but could they play defense with the tighter rules of today's game? Etc etc etc.)
  9. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2061-godzilla-2014/ Also, it's rambling and disjointed, but we have been discussing the older movies in the thread for the new movie.
  10. If they don't get Hogan, I would guess Snuka would be choice A for top star when they expanded nationally.
  11. There was a bit where he was setting up his own announce table and Doc was protecting him.
  12. She's picky about her projects, sure, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to pay money to see her when we seem to be hearing about her and Brad 24/7 anyway.Actors need a modicum of mystery. Would people really be thinking so highly of people like Marlon Brando or Audrey Hepburn if they'd spent years hearing about their feuds with the nanny/Jennifer Aniston/their dad, etc. Now, I'm sure her and Brad are perfectly nice people and great parents, but yeah, I don't need to read about them ever again. I've had zero problems avoiding all of that for years. I know damn little about her private life.
  13. Not quite exclusively, but damn near. Had at least one match with Sin Cara. Beat up Ryder. But mostly Truth, Xavier Woods, and now Big E.
  14. Damn, we need a new hypothesis! I just can't come up with any other possibilities.
  15. We have a preliminary report: When Lana begins speaking of Putin and Rusev, you naturally feel fear, causing a severe panic attack, where you simultaneously empty your bladder and pass out. At least, that's the working theory. Try to think happy thoughts when you are next confronted by Lana.
  16. Nothing on Cena vs Cesaro? Hello even Cena vs Luke Harper is a top 10 contender See the edit at the end of my post.
  17. Um... This was Jolie's first movie in over 3 years, for the record.
  18. Going all the way back to Summerslam '91 LOD vs Nasty Boys, I have always been baffled when a "no dq" tag team match has guys standing on the apron waiting to be tagged in. So that part of the match really didn't work for me. The beatdown probably went a bit long, but it served it's purpose. The comeback/finishing stretch/Shield whips the old men's asses segment was so fucking great though. Cena/Wyatt... FINALLY John has his first legit MOTYC this year, and Bray Wyatt finally has a second notably good singles match. The finish was what it was, but god damn they tore each other apart in the best way. But my lasting memory of this show is definitely going to be saying, out loud to an empty room "What the fuck is Batista wearing?" the moment he came through the curtain. EDIT: First ppv motyc for Cena, I mean. He had the Cesaro classic on RAW.
  19. What the fuck was Smurftista wearing? Also, I stole the name from J.H.
  20. So, Bill Russell best ever discussion over?
  21. Pretty sure it was said sarcastically...
