  1. For everyone talking about Threads, that movie was actually on the national curriculum in the 80s. For some reason the education secretary back then thought it was important to teach British children about how to survive in the post apocalypse, so we all had to watch Threads and read When the Wind Blows. We all had writing assignments where you had to partner up and plan how the two of you would work together to survive a nuclear holocaust. I only remember that because I somehow got paired with the prettiest girl in the class and she legitimately suggested that our plan should be to "Go to bed and die happy". We were 13 years old at the time.
  2. I watched the first Hangover movie for this first time in my life. All I knew going in was that Mike Tyson was in it, and loads of people loved the first one but hated the sequels because they were exactly the same as the first one. Which doesn't seem to make much sense, because AC/DC made loads of albums that were exactly the same as their last one and everyone loves them. Anyway, having seen the first Hangover, I can see why the studio went the 'sequels as remakes' route, because I couldn't really see anything that made it leap out and be radically different from a million other gross-out comedies. So repeating the formula as closely as possible would probably be the best plan... I'm not saying it was bad, it was pretty good, but it was also... unremarkable, really. If all that Hollywood took from this movie was "This Bradley Cooper kid is a fucking movie star" and "Formula successful. Repeat formula", that's probably all that was their to be taken. Sorry if you love it and it's your favourite film forever. I just didn't think it was overly fantastic or anything.
  3. Ziggler shows up halfway through. His hair is very 80s.
  4. The first time I watched the Batman movie (the Adam West one), there was one shot of a door that started to open... and then the show was interrupted by breaking news about the Falklands War (which was happening at the time). So I spent the whole time of the news broadcast (which felt like 30 minutes but was probably actually five minutes tops) totally scared and worried about who was going to come through that door and what was going to happen and how would Batman possibly survive when that door opened... (I was 7 years old at the time). And when the news ended and the movie resumed, the door opened and Alfred walked in like it wasn't even a thing.
  5. Being on the Conor McGregor bandwagon is a shitload more fun than being against it. And I'm not even slightly Irish. (nb: I am biologically at least 6.25% Irish)
  6. The teasiest teaser in the history of teasing:
  7. I dunno, the "Arrive / Do Nothing / Get Paid" shirt could become popular.
  8. Fox News exists in America, doesn't it? Can't have that in the UK*. The pro-life movement has a voice in the American media, correct? They don't in the UK. They're thought of as a bunch of irrelevant religious lunatics. The Anti-Gay marriage movement in the UK publically insists they have a deep love traditional values but claim they aren't homophobic and have nothing against gay people. Whereas in America, it's all that God Hates Fags bollocks, isn't it? Formula One has the 'Not a real sport' stigma, has been losing popularity and is generally considered to be a bit of a farce. And you don't win by being the best driver, you win by having the best car. *You literally can't. It's illegal under British law to have that sort of partisanship in broadcast media.
  9. Legendary Football manager Bobby Robson legit had that problem. When he was England manager he once greeted (then-England & Man United captain) Bryan Robson by saying "Hello Bobby". The response was "I'm Bryan, you're Bobby." He used to call Shola Ameobi 'Carl Cort' as well. Carl Cort having played for Newcastle a few years earlier.
  10. John Cho and Alyson Hannigan should make another movie together. They could call it "Neil Patrick Harris is a really great guy".
  11. http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/620790/GTA-5-Rockstar-GTA-Online-2-Take-Two Take Two CEO asked why GTA doesn't come out every year like Ass Creed and Cod. Says why, then reveals that they consider GTA and Red Dead to be permanent franchises that new games will be released for forever. So, GTA 6 & Red Dead Revolution* CONFIRMED~! * I just made up that title. The previous two games were Revolver and Redemption, so Redemption 2 doesn't fit. I was going to put re-evaluation instead, but I thought I'd try to guess the actual title for a laugh.
  12. I'm not sure Ryan failing in TNA is entirely down to the promotion actually. He didn't do himself any favours with how he carried himself, and the crowd turned on him pretty much organically. They wanted him over as the big babyface going into the "Beat Al Snoe and you get a contact" match, but by the time it happened the people wanted him to lose.
  13. Nobody dominates the Crystal Maze. The success rate for teams actually getting 100+ gold tickets is down in the bottom 10 most gameshows ever, with Takeshi's Castle, Ninja Warrior and Knightmare.
  14. Oscar Pistorius found guilty of murder, going back to jail for a minimum of 15 years. They got it right in the end.
  15. I know we don't talk about TUF here, but this Wrocek vs Teymur fight is really interesting, just because the crowd is completely silent and the corners aren't saying anything. So all you can hear is the impact of the strikes and how hard they are breathing. Usually they mic up the corners because reality TV, and the other fighters are making noise because Go Team!, but this is the most "What it's like to be in there" presentation yet.
  16. That joke's so nice, he told it twice.
  17. Oh, I didn't know it was that big in America. In England, it was a show BBC2 got rid of because it wasn't doing the same ratings as the other show in the timeslot (which was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air re-re-re-reruns. My son used to think that the TV actor kid from Fresh Prince was the son of the movie actor guy from Hancock. Didn't believe it was the same man, just filmed earlier. He had assumed Fresh Prince was actually fresh).
  18. I know, but Hollywood doesn't think rationally.
  19. "I'm the interim assistant manager, so you have to do as I say for as long as I'm interimming." "Did you just say you're into rimming?"
  20. John Cho was in Star Trek. Alyson Hannigan was in Date Movie.Hollywood economics. Are there any major fans of the American Pie series who are pissed off that Reunion ignored all the new characters from the DTV sequels? Where's the other Stifler (nb: I haven't seen them. But one of them was advertised on TV with a clip where Eugene Levy was saying "There are two Stiflers?" and this other guy was like "Shyeah heah!")?
  21. Barry Windham's WCW entrance music did contain the lyric:"He likes to beat people up, and he likes to have fun... you know I'm talking about Barry Windham!" EDIT: And I found it!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guZdfnxmo8k
  22. It was odd, because I remember when the first one came out it was praised for having female characters who were actual characters, with their owns wants and desires and so on. But in this sequel, it's a film about boys where the female characters are there as plot points, rather than people.
  23. It makes perfect sense for the New Day to join the League of Nations. Kofi is from Ghana, and Xavier is from Georgia. Just pretend he's the from the Georgia with a Tblisi, and not the one with an Atlanta, and you're fine.
