  1. There was actually a half-assed poll version of "freakier looking killer: Brian Thompson vs. Jeff Kober" on one of my Facebook groups. Both their faces look like tragedy/comedy theater masks. Thompson is better known as the Cobra serial killer cult leader, but Kober was pretty damn creepy in The First Power. I'll give Jeff Kober the nod just because his face reminds me of this guy from that weird Mark Twain Claymation cartoon. As Kober has gotten older, he just looks like some politician like he played on Sons of Anarchy.
  2. Budapest's top Bronson impersonator was also in this western horror movie, where the killer wears a burlap sack over his head that kind of looks like Dr. Freudstein.
  3. The Cry Havoc killer looks more like Babyface from The Hills Run Red, but either nobody else saw that one or remembers it. William Sadler is the director of the lost film that is the central plot device. Also Sophie Monk's bodacious ta ta's were on full display.
  4. I was referring to Banjo & Sullivan as the likable characters, or at least not scumbags like the warden in 3 From Hell, who was just asking for trouble. Barbara Crampton still looked mighty fine in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. I guess she wasn't into the same Jack Daniels, Bolivian marching powder, and cancer sticks regimen as other scream queens. Did anybody else ever watch either of the movies where Jeffrey Combs teamed up with Ashley Laurence from Hellraiser? Lurking Fear was an action/horror movie from Full Moon, and the other one actually starred Jeffrey Combs as basically an action hero.
  5. Did Bret ever actually drop a televised fall to Austin? Things like Austin hitting Hart with the steel chair causing him to lose the title to Sid and the ambulance assbeating made it seem like 50/50, but the logical conclusion of Austin taking the title from Hart at WrestleMania never came to pass. Of course, we all know things worked out perfectly for them, the most important piece being how the Montreal Screwjob set up Vince as the ultimate asshole boss.
  6. I remember Head of The Family being on par with something like The Granny. (I just looked up the latter on IMDB and saw that Shelly Winters was actually considered for the role of the Granny. What a strange trip that would've been.) Jacqueline Lovell gets naked in Head of the Family, if you're into that sort of thing. She was probably the most attractive of the 90's Skinemax actresses.
  7. 3 From Hell was basically Rejects with no remotely likable characters (to dread eventually being slaughtered) and the Firefly clan showing no vulnerability whatsoever. It was good though. Standout moments include a face peeling scene (and ensuing chase down neighborhood streets) that outdoes the lone survivor from Banjo & Sullivan getting mowed down by a truck in Rejects. Zombie will probably wait at least two more movies before offing the Firefly clan again, and when he does, I hope they get sent back to hell by Hungarian Charles Bronson, Robert Bronzi. To be honest, I haven't even seen any of Bronzi's movies but I heard his lines had to be dubbed in Death Kiss. What better way to end the series than having them killed by a Charles Bronson clone that has to be dubbed over?
  8. I take the Dark Order about as seriously as I did the Desperados.
  9. Jimmy Johnson was the real GM of those Cowboys teams. He just let Jerry call himself GM so he would feel like a big boy.
  10. If Vince was senile right now, he'd be flummoxed that WBF Bodystars wasn't trouncing AEW Dynamite in the Saturday morning ratings.
  11. That's exactly what I was thinking. Also don't forget that Joseph Addai scored the go-ahead TD run. It was only 2nd down though, so they probably would've scored off a Peyton Manning pass regardless. You can never be sure though. It seems like since Peyton retired, the conversation briefly shifted towards Rodgers as a superior arm talent/pure passer to Brady, and then also back to Brady and Montana before 28-3. Probably the last idol worshipper to argue Peyton/Brady was Colin Cowherd, because Peyton retired with a 3-1 record vs. Brady in conference title games, ignoring that through that entire 2016 postseason, the only good half Peyton did have was against the Pats. Come to think of it, his only good half in the Colts Super Bowl run was the second half comeback against the Patriots. All shattering the single season TD pass so late in his career did for Manning was cement him as the best video game quarterback ever. He just wasn't as good at flicking the magic bean during the postseason.
  12. My favorite blurb on any DVD release is Grindhouse using an Ebert quote about The Beyond out of context. "THE BEYOND does not disappoint." The quote only condescendingly referred to the gore and special effects though, as he rated the actual movie a 1/2 star. Those pompous windbags should've stuck to waxing poetic about Meryl Streep unicorn porn. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-beyond-1998
  13. What really made Asuka look like a scrub was right after tapping out Becky Lynch, losing non-title matches to Mandy Rose and then the title to Charlotte Flair in such an anticlimactic, telegraphed fashion on a random ass episode of Smackdown. Even this so-called rehabilitation of Asuka has only involved the Kabuki Warriors beating Charlotte in handicap matches or getting cheap mist/roll-up victories over Charlotte and Becky. Other heels usually get to at least hit their finisher off a distraction to get cheap wins. Generic sneaky foreigner heel isn't much of a character rehabilitation.
  14. If they were really lucky, they could've been the one at the receiving end of a Stinkface from Kelly Kelly. That's what Vince calls really getting a rub.
  15. I definitely don't fault him for hitting a bunch of checkdowns and patiently waiting for Rex to piss away the Super Bowl.
  16. The point I'd always like to reiterate about Peyton's postseason legend is that the Super Bowl win with the Colts is when he had the dog ass shitty 3/7 TD/INT ratio during the playoffs.
  17. The play that kept that Ravens run alive was as big of a fuck-up by Rahim Moore as the Saints defender going low on Stefon Diggs to allow the Minneapolis Miracle to happen.
  18. Did Van Hammer and rival guitar player J.T. Southern ever actually have a televised match?
  19. 15/2 was the actual ratio, which is still insane. Especially compared to Peyton's 5/8 ratio. The first run had several games where Eli was only asked to be a bus driver (14/21, 166 yards, 2 TD in the Divisional Round against the Cowboys, the go-ahead TD run was set up by a punt return). The Cowboys also got the ball back at the end of the game, only after Coughlin decided to play it safe, take the ball out of Eli's hands and call three straight runs to try and end the game with a first down. I was sure the Giants were going to pass the ball and probably get a first down. Draining the clock turned out to be the right decision though. Eli's second Super Bowl run was where he really played like a legend; even though the average fan will be more likely to cite the helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII and not the sick throw to Manningham in Super Bowl XLVI.
  20. They should've used an actual scrub instead of Toni Storm. Unless their goal is to make her look shitty every time she appears on the main roster, which just might be the case between this and the Survivor Series.
  21. I'm part of a B-Movie/cult film group on Facebook. The guy (that runs it) scorched his shorts when Tammy and the T-Rex was announced as a surprise Vinegar Syndrome release back in November or whenever. I actually caught a few of the gory bits during the party scene on one of Shudder's live streaming channels a few hours ago. Alas I only have room in my heart for Carnosaur even though I'm sure this was trying to be something much quirkier than a Jurassic Park rip-off.
  22. Jim Brown would've undoubtedly been a Hall Of Famer in any era, but I can't ignore how he was almost always the strongest and fastest player on the field. He was also one of the bigger players on the field considering that most teams only had a handful of 250-260 lb. players. Of course he dominated all those slow toothless slobs, most of whom took cigarette breaks between series. While a modern training regimen would have made Brown even more superhuman, if the rest of the players (in his era) also had a modern training regimen, it would've actually been to their overall advantage in narrowing the physical gap between them and Brown. The NFL also didn't fully embrace integration until the 70's, after the NFL/AFL merger, which significantly lowered the overall talent pool compared to the modern era.
