  1. The fact that TRON was snubbed for an effects Oscar still amazes me, the fact they said that using computers was "Cheating" just shows how out of touch the Academy was with actual advances in cinema tech.James

    Also on effects, Transformers should have won over the Golden Compass. The "Autobots Come to Earth" sequence is one of my favorite scenes ever.
  2. As much as I hated his Oscar bait phase after The Truman Show, Jim Carrey should have gotten nominated for Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

    Will Smith had a long Oscar bait phase. Probably should have won for Ali. Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds did nothing for me. Good movies, though. Enemy of the State is still my favorite Will Smith movie

  3.  

     

    Honestly, I think he's probably got immunity from the Wellness Policy, but that's just me. 

     

     

     

    The Rock, too, I'm guessing.

     

     

    If Hardcore Holly's book is to be trusted (and he flat out admits he was on roids so he's not hiding anything), when they first enacted the Wellness Policy, Undertaker and Ric Flair flat out refused to take any testing and nothing happened to them... so the "top guys are immune" policy might have some truth.

     

     

    Holly had a couple good Taker stories in his book.  One where they were in the locker room watching the Bart Gunn/Dr. Death Brawl for All match.  Holly had been talking up Gunn all day and Taker turned to Holly and said "That's your Boy, right?" They bet $50 or $100 I can't remember which and of course Taker gave Holly the money and was pissed the rest of the night.  Another was when they first implemented the dress code and Cena and Taker were the only ones that didn't have to follow, but Taker did anyway, "Cause the Boys had to do it"

  4. Meltzer said WWE put that match together pretty much with the intention of it being a disaster to make Eva Marie look bad, which is also why it was structured to put her in there with Aksana and Rosa the most.

     

    Apparently, she has an ego or something.

     

    See wasn't selling at all.  The one time she did sell she was more worried about taking the bump and the sell was super delayed.  Just looked bad.

  5. I would imagine the Falcons will accommodate Gonzalez and trade him to a contender if he asked.  Maybe one last ride with the Chiefs? I'm not sure how the Chiefs salary cap situation is, but I'm sure they'd entertain the offer

  6. Roseanne really started to go downhill once they won the lottery and killed the entire feel of the show.  Dan cheating with his nurse was another reason as well.  Just didn't feel the same.

     

    EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't realize all of this happened in the last season.  Guess this is point proven

  7. The Wire is a great example of a critically acclaimed show that didn't really have great ratings.  It seems to have gained a great word-of-mouth popularity due to people like me who sing its praises and DVD Sales.

     

    I also think three things that hurt the Wire when it was on air was the majority Black cast, the local Baltimore slang/diction, and the pace of the seasons.  As essential as they were, the first couple episodes of the seasons can be a chore to get through but once you hit episode five, it was balls to the wall great TV and you end up appreciating the early episodes.  The Wire perfected the "slow burn"

  8. The DX/Radicals vs. Rock/Foley/2Cool/Kish match is so hot. Great stuff. But Steph is on color commentary and is TERRIBLE. She's awful. This match is seriously off-the-charts great.They're SO CLOSE to being able to have stuff like this again. It's been a while since they've had so many really hot characters involved in the same overarching storyline. Shield/Randy vs. Bryan/Rhodes Boys/Show is going to be fantastic if they pull the trigger on that.

    Including the Kane return to save the day. Hasn't Kane's returns always gotten a great reaction? I mean, they have to make his return to save Bryan, right? It really almost writes itself and that pop will be glorious.
