Wuthering Heights features a Jon Lovitz sex scene and zero orange cats. Seeing it in IMAX was incredible as @Andrew POE! said its wonderfully photographed, those shots of the bluffs where really something. Great sets, Great Costumes, Great use of color. Cathy's braid was impressive. Great music. That said I've never read the book or seen any other film adaption so I can't comment on that. But that sort of love being depicted is far too dramatic for me.

it's not like the WWE fared all that great in Observer award voting pre-AEW either

He said on Colbert that it was his dream to be on Trek and he never gets to play villains either, so it's a double honor for him to do that on this show.

Mark Ruffalo's character in that sounds exactly like his character in HBO's Task (which is really good if anyone's looking for a new miniseries to watch). A Star is Born was terrible yet won the Oscar... hmmm, perhaps the Oscars were *gasp* FIXED? I mean especially back then when the studios controlled everything.

The real issue is that you have to be a subscriber to vote and Meltzer has run off so many non-AEW fans.

I'll just leave this here: In the new Botchamania, they show that spot in Clon vs. Briscoe where Clon pops up out of the Jay Driller, and everyone was saying "yeah he blocked it". BULL. SHIT. Go watch it there towards the end. He didn't block shit.

Probably because he bragged on his Twitter about starting the match late to let the chant ring out last time it happened, and got yelled at for it haha

Thought All-Star Saturday Afternoon was a fun non-offensive way to spend some time. The 3 Point Shooting contest remains the star of the night and honestly still feels like it should close out the night. Cool story with it ending up being Dame Time as Dame, Booker, and Kon all put on all time performances. I liked the new wrinkles on the Shooting Star Contest, it felt somewhere between the old one and the 3 Point Shooting Contest, and didn't miss the Skills Challenge. I watched on NBC so I had sound from Luda's mic, it was a perfectly alright performance but didn't feel like a big show performance at all. Nothing really memorable from the Slam Dunk Contest but there's also been worst ones. NBC's first All-Star Weekend is being kinda overshadowed by the Olympics, so it's probably not super fair to judge things so far. I do appreciate that NBC is treating it like the event is the actual star of the show, instead of it being a showcase for the Inside the NBA guys to get themselves over like it felt on TNT. Noah, Reggie, and Jamal have been great announcing and they've done a good job of using the Tuesday night crew. I'll take Vince giving actual dunk analysis over Kenny and Shaq screaming "Superman is in the building" over and over.

Was it just me, or did it sound like Bryce's 10 count went from 1 to 6 all of a sudden? If so, that was a bit of...creative editing.

Not looking forward to running back MJF vs. Hangman Adam Page again although their Revolution 2025 match was underrated and needs talking up more. Here we are a year later. Pissed MJF kicked out of the Gonzo Bomb.

You could just post the TV footage since they didn’t edit it out lol

This.

They should not, as odd as they've been for years they've gone off the rails over the past 6 or so months to a degree that is basically impossible to defend (I point once more to that Jey Uso/CM Punk match getting 4 stars).

Might be a short one.

Woohoo! MJF-Hangman part 324! Couldn't we have tried something different? It's obvious Coach Tony has three or four guys he considers main eventers and no one else is gonna get close to breaking that glass ceiling. There's hope for Fletcher and Takeshita, but they still seem miles away. Less-than-bold prediction: Swerve wins the Owen and it's Swerve-MJF at All In for the annual feel-good title change. New woman's a tall drink of water. Can she go? Never seen her.

also, AEW soundmixing is a long standing thing, but for whatever amount the sound messed with crowd noise, the broadcast did catch audible expletives during the main event (and not the prematch chant). I know they don't have a problem with saying "shit" on AEW TV but it was just sorta amusing what does/doesn't get picked up in their mix

Whomever that new lady was, she was taller then Megan. The main event match had vibes similar to that one time that Jerry Lawler wrestled for the championship on Raw. You know he's not going to win it, but man did they make some moments where you thought they might be crazy and actually do it, it was pretty fun to think that way again.

Things I Remember from AEW Aussiemania 2 (Grand Slam Australia as seen on Collision): I avoided all spoilers. Normal sized ring this year. Moxley goes to a draw with Takeshita with Takeshita on the offense at the end. Which is sorta novel considering face/heel alignments. Also, Techwood still in the name of the production entity if that early error was any indicator. Harley doesn't job in Australia this time. Then the traditional postmatch beatdown and we got a new wrestler here. Hangman gets the title match and beats Andrade Chris Cruise currently writing to the Australian Wrestling Commission about male on female violence in the mixed tag Toni Storm makes her comeback down the aisle, kicks Yuta in the balls, and keeps going to the ring. Yuta loses his hair and Moxley makes him live up to the stip (hey, if they were gonna do a Moxley/Death Riders split then...) Mark Briscoe taking a bunch of really fucking stupid bumps. Which is probably not the worst he's done, bump-wise. Fletcher is still the champ I think they had multiple jumps out of commercial breaks which were cutting it close. At least once they came in mid-sentence for a video hyping Swerve/Omega Brody vs MJF was a fun time. Bandido appearing for the first time since he faced MJF (despite a rumored injury in Mexico) made me think the screwiest ending they could do is Fake Bandido (they didn't do that). MJF and Brody suspenseful countout spot! MJF gets out of the Ganso, which maybe that should have been a rope break and not a kickout. MJF bites an injured knee, which seems less effective than when he punched it later. Then MJF wins. The Show actually ends on time because Godzilla vs Kong isn't gonna get delayed brother (also, it was taped) This is very AEW Clash of the Champions (AEW Clash of Champions?). A bunch of predictable but not illogical winners. A card that was leaning a bit on their strongest guys and not coloring outside the lines. Cya on Wednesday.

Watching the team pursuit speed skating makes me think this is where the idea for the Human Centipede came from. And then the commentators said the technique is a new one, so I guess I got my influence backwards!

I remember liking it as a kid, not that that’s a ringing endorsement.

Are we even sure Mox wanted to take a vacation? Dude would probably go stir crazy anyway. And it’s not like AEW has a crazy schedule.
