Bucks/Takeshita v KOR/Bandido/Strong added. This is shaping up to be a really fun Dynamite.

(Looks for a WNBA Thread) Cleveland fans are mad at the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham for reacting to the WNBA expansion news by saying nobody is excited about going to Detroit or "Cincinnati," not even getting Cleveland's name correct. She would rather play road games in more exciting towns like Miami, Nashville, or Kansas City.

Most looking forward to Kazuchika Okada vs. Kota Ibushi. Both have great chemistry. Last singles match was a disaster, the NJPW G1 Climax 2021 Final ending in referee stoppage as Kota Ibushi dislocated his arm. Red Shoes Unno was right to stop it.

Swerve Strickland/Will Ospreay vs. The Beast Mortos/Dralistico added to the show.

If no one gets hurt in 4 more years SGAs hand could be full Thanos with the titles they could win.

And I will take that as a huge compliment, whether it is intended as such or not! I salute you!

In regards to the extended Swaggart family, no man has ever sounded more like Jerry Lee than Mickey Gilley performing “Don’t All The Girls Get Prettier At Closing Time”. https://youtu.be/sYu3e6XtjH8?si=Jr9cEQE6WkMdmLmE

Oh hey I had totally missed that Detroit also brought Caris LeVert back to Michigan. That's fun, reuniting him and Robinson as a bench duo.

Generally I find that YouTubers talk at an artificially slow pace to try to drag out the length of whatever video they're producing, so 1.5x speed gets them back to a more professional TV cadence. I don't usually listen to music on my TV (or if I do it's at 1x speed), but PPC just happened to come up as a recommendation after watching a non-music video. I *think* YouTube pitch matches to normal speed, so it really does just sound like the band is up tempo.

the WWE vault releases today reminding us that Stan Lane was working for the WWF deep into 1995

And it’s Sparky Plug, not even Hardcore Holly.

I noticed that file was 33 minutes and decided to skip ahead, asking myself out loud "Where's the blood?" And then the guys on the floor caught that Pierroth Jr. had put that bottle opener or whatever in Fresero Jr.'s head a couple more times and it was so bad he started to look like Eddie Kingston with the gas can. Actually, worse. Wow -- time to watch the rest! (Also, these guys are really going at it, this is fast and hate-filled brawling.) EDIT: Somebody holler at Phil Schneider cause he's gonna want to see this. They brawl at top speed all over the place for close to 20 minutes or so before they stop and square off one at a time in the ring, like the ref forced them to. Pierroth gets a bottle broken over his head by Fresero and the yellow parts on his mask turn totally red and he gets stretchered out off an insane tope con hilo through the ropes. There are like two more insane dives, a devastating head drop to finish the match, Dark Ozz (pretty sure) gets almost totally drowned out by the horns and spinny things in the crowd when he tries to talk on the mic, the Traumas are pissed, and Fresero has disappeared, probably taken out too after the wrapping started to come off his head. And hey, some things never change: Cibernetico still can't even do a decent chokeslam! Wait, did I mention that whole rows of seats are pitched at people in this? Because that happens too.

Dude, Shartnado, I can't help it... every time I look at one of your photos I think of Will Rahmer from Mortician.

Oh god yes, that too. That frisson between 'bizarre' and 'disgusting' is so strong. I always get a kick out of how people think the scene of Divine getting raped by a giant plastic lobster in Multiple Maniacs is so distasteful. It's a giant plastic lobster, dude. Getting a rosary shoved up your ass in a church is waaaaaaay worse than that

Annnnnnd they shuffled assignments and I'm no longer in that judging spot. I am a tad displeased.

I guess with Ron Killings no longer being a comedy character (for now) there’s a void.

It shows up every so often on TCM. It’s not there at the moment, it would probably been right next to Mr. Blanding. there’s a complete version on YT but in 4:3 and weird subtitles.

Honestly, the scene of Edie eating like half a dozen eggs is what almost did me in.

Just wondering why you do that. I find it fun sometimes, especially with me listening to all the crazy metal and punk I do, where a drop or raise in speed can switch everything up totally. And somehow the vocals still sound normal, unlike, say, putting a 33 1/3 vinyl record on 45 RPM. (Which, if you like Destruction's Infernal Overkill, actually do that on vinyl because it sounds twice as good!)

Heh, you should do Jaws 3D for a tomato can. Or Jaws: The Revenge, just because of Michael Caine's infamous quote "I have never seen it [the film], but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific!"

I've done the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie version, but not the OG version. That will happen soon lol if I can find it somewhere on streaming.

Have you done Mr and Mrs Smith here yet?

I will likely see the B&W 1934 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much sooner than later because I'm basically a Hitchcock devotee. Thanks for the kudos, Curt on Do The Right Thing. I tried to look for the Criterion Collection today at my local B&N and it got sold out. I guess it's Amazon for me. Movies today....
