  5. Not to shortchange your post, but the points that you make aren't really an issue with NXT. They're an issue with how the company promotes wrestlers coming up from NXT. The presentation of the cruisers is a Vince McMahon issue, not a NXT or CWC issue. Guys like Kevin Owens got over on NXT TV beyond just being known for his ROH or PWG work because he was presented effectively. On the other hand, he came up and was being 50/50d after beating Cena. Zayn's gotten it worse. The presentation is there on NXT beyond just relying on name value. Nakamura comes off as a stud, Joe comes off as a killer, because of how they are booked and presented, and that goes beyond name recognition. All the problems that you point out can go right in the pile with the rest of the problems with how shitty main roster WWE is. Holy shit, no one is arguing that fans like Gregg are shitty because they don't follow every aspect of every indie or Japanese wrestler's career. Your rants are pushing a false premise that is contra to the discussion that NXT is specifically catered for indie fans by the company itself to draw those fans in and away from New Japan or ROH or whoever else might otherwise take their entertainment dollars. We get it, you hate wrestling nerd fans. Odd, since you're on a board full of wrestling nerd fans, but hey, you do you.

  14. I really want this company to go out of business. Not because I have any stake or investment in it - I've maybe watched a grand total of 30 hours of TNA programming since it's inception. Not because I want the people involved with it to lose their jobs. Not because I want WWE to have a monopoly. But because I want somebody to take the ashes of what used to be TNA and run it properly and make it what it could/should have been years ago. The few times I tuned in to TNA was because I know/knew they had a supremely talented roster. They had their own guys like AJ and Joe and Roode and a good mix of ex-WWE guys like Christian and Angle and Booker T, all guys I knew who could get it done in the ring. But after watching for a week or two, I could see that there was no direction at all. It was aimless and the guys were just collecting a paycheck. If Vince McMahon is a millionaire who should be a billionaire, what does that make Dixie Carter? She had some of the most talented in-ring performers at her disposal, but then brought in the most inept people to handle them behind the scenes. Image what this company could have been if Dixie Carter was not involved. If TNA finally goes under and Billy Corgan - or ANYBODY - is able to scoop up the remnants and re-build/re-brand the company, I would certainly begin watching again and see where it goes. But while Dixie is still involved, I just cannot make the time investment in what I know is a company about to implode. The company finally dying on the vine is "what's best for business".

  15. The saddest thing about listening to Jesse Sorensen talking about her. He's not even that angry. Like you or me would be. He doesn't realize that she was manipulating him and his family from the get go. She didn't want to get sued. He got played. You know he got fired a month after the statute of limitations that he could sue them ran out. (He had a year per Tennessee work laws to take proper legal action but chose not to because "Well, TNA and Dixie have been so nice!") Do not tell me that is a mere coincidence. This woman is simply not a good person. She's a horror.

  28. Civ 6 is pretty good. They really cleaned up the UI, and at least during the beginning of the game, you are making a lot of choices that at least feel consequential. Splitting policies and tech into two separate research trees, for example, gives you a chance to make numerous early-game decisions about what kind of cities to mold. The other thing is that land management and acquisition, particularly in order to build specialty buildings and Wonders in your cities, is such a huge part of the game now, which I am still getting used to.

  30. The morning never came. Darkness surrounds us all Movie: Cellar Dweller Chosen by: Ultimo Necro Im on a Jeffery Coombs kick at the moment and everyone else should be as well. I hadn't seen this flick since I was about 14 and caught it randomly searching YouTube. I really enjoyed it again, after all that time. Reviewed by: J.T. Cellar Dweller (1988) - A review by JT “He who has wisdom, wonders not of the beast, for nothing in hell lives without Man’s consent. Woe unto you that gives the beast form. To contemplate evil, is to ask evil home.” - Colin Childress I can see why I was selected to review this movie because Cellar Dweller not only encapsulates mid to late 80's horror, but mid to late 80's culture as well. From the teased and poofy hair to immediate introduction to our monster du jour, Cellar Dweller is a product of its times and you kinda had to be there to appreciate it. In short, Brian Fowler and whomever picked this thing is reminding me that I am old. Fuck them... Anyway... The film starts 30 years in the past. How do I know? The words "30 Years Ago" appear at the bottom of the screen in large gothic type fit for an old person like me to read clearly. This would make the current sequence happen in the late 50's, but everything still has an 80's feel to it. Shoestring budget! Here we go! Jeffrey Combs (brilliant in Re-Animator and criminally underused in this movie ) plays Colin Childress, writer and illustrator of the EC Comics-esque “Cellar Dweller” horror series. As the movie starts, we find Childress in his cellar working on the latest issue and naturally there is a thunderstorm brewing (FORESHADOWING~!). Childress pulls out an old, leather-bound book with a pentagram burnt into the cover. No explanation for why Childress has this demonic text, but none is needed. It's the 80's stupid. As Childress puts the book away, we can see a blurry shape rise up behind him. It, of course, is the titular Cellar Sweller showing up in record time with semi-nude female naked victim in tow; the image pulled straight from the panel that Childress just inked. Childress flees from the room to the adjoining hallway where he grabs an ax from the wall rack. You would think that this was weirdly convenient if you had not been led by the nose prior to this scene and watched Childress also inking this particular image into the comic. His work on the comic is warping reality thanks to the power of this evil book Childress has in his possession. Childress returns to the cellar to find that the creature has killed the girl and left her body on the floor. As Colin checks the semi-nude body of the female victim (oh, those 80's horror films), the demon rises from the shadows and attacks. The creature knocks Childress into his desk, causing the EC Comics Necronmcon to fall into an open chest conveniently placed directly below. He also knocks over a jar filled with water or paint thinner, spilling it onto the cellar floor (MORE FORESHADOWING~!). Hoping to dispel the demon of his own creation, Childress sets fire to the comic pages with the Cellar Dweller drawn on them. The demon is dispelled for now but in the process, Childress nobly sacrifices his life in a fiery house blaze. We know the demon will be back. Why? Your DVD counter still says you've got about an hour or so more of movie to watch! The rest of this 80's horror epic is filled with the usual gratuitous gore and guts that you'd expect from a horror film coming out around this time frame and it is the 80's so there are bound to be more female boobs. Preferably in a shower scene. It was a better time. The cast includes Deborah Farentino (Syfy’s Eureka and appearing here as Deborah Mullowney) as Whitney Taylor, an aspiring artist and our Last Girl foolishly researching poor Colin Childress's work and Yvonne mother fucking De Carlo (TV’s “Lily Munster) puts in a cameo as Mrs. Briggs, the proprietor of the art institute conspicuously co-located to the site where Childress's "mysteriously" house burned down. Brian Robbins (from TV's Head Of The Class) also turns in a noteworthy performance as Phillp, the art institutes resident douchebag. You will cheer your ass off when this guy dies. It's the 80's. I'll spare you the further plot dissection as you are smart enough to figure out that Whitney will mess with things she shouldn't be messing with inciting African Americans in the audience to shake their fists and roll their eyes at their television sets. The demon will come to life and chew his way through the cast and eventually we'll get that happily ever after scene we expect since we already know how Whitney will banish the evil entity forever and ever (pending the direct-to-video sequel that never happened) and make things right again. Poor, poor construct of the 80's. If it is one thing this movie suffers from it is the effects. The demon itself looks like some sort of deranged and mutated koala with a pentagram carved into its chest. The carnage it causes is far more disturbing than the creature itself. Or at least it would be if the severed limbs not looked like they'd just been recently purchased from the prop aisle at your local Spirit of Halloween and covered in a mixture of Karo Syrup and Red Dye.#5. The ending also suffers a bit from the rush rush of let's hurry and wrap this up before we run out of money thing. You can almost hear the producers closing the money bag as the final credits roll. That being said, Cellar Dweller is not some micro budget art movie striving to be something its not. it is remarkably self conscious about its B-Movie status and only aspires to fill out its runtime by giving you the shit you want. And it succeeds in being wonderfully trashy. You have to keep reminding yourself that you're looking at techniques that are (like the preface) 30 years old. Judge this movie within the confines of its zeitgeist and you will be a perfectly entertained horror maven. This wretchedly great production is helmed by John Carl Buechler, director of Friday the 13th Part VII (the crazy one with the telekinetic girl) and Troll, and he was the main effects dude on for the Ghoulies movies, From Beyond, and A Nightmare on Elm St 4: The Dream Master. So fear not, you are in relatively good hands and there are worst movies you could be watching this Halloween.. I mean, fuck, you could be watching Black Devil Doll From Hell or Death Bed (THE BED THAT EATS~!) or (God forbid) Plankton right now and hating your miserable existence... Cellar Dweller has been released to Blu-ray by Scream Factory as part of a Double Feature with Catacombs so buy it and give it a spot of honor alongside Basket Case, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Deadly Friend, and Killer Klowns From Outer Space in the schlock section of your 80's / 90's horror treasury..

  31. Yeah I think he was trying to be fast on that one and acknowledge a film he held in higher regard that was similar. You know what? That's pretty wack, fuck that guy. Hope his production company puts out something with substance, though. And thank you to Fluff. It's late, it's Friday (now Saturday), I'm drunk

  36. I have to think Brown is getting suspended eventually. Goddell is getting justly destroyed on this because it comes off like the only way you can get punished for domestic violence in the NFL is to have an actual video of the incident. Writing in a journal that you abused your wife isn't enough in his world. It also really helps to be white apparently. Of course whatever suspension he does he will get appealed and overturned/reduced so maybe asking Roger to do something isn't worth it anyway Also don't understand why the Giants are so ride or die on him. He is a fucking kicker. There are 50 kickers out of work who can kick close to his level.

  38. RANDOM HALLOWEEN JUNK! So a few days ago I got a random envelope in the mail from my mom. Inside is this little zombie guy with a note to put it in water. It turns out it's like a reverse shrinky dink and after a few days: It is literally my favorite possession as of now, in part because of how he casually leans against things like Matthew McConaughy in DAZED AND CONFUSED, but also because it grosses out my wife so much (like Matthew McConaughy in DAZED AND CONFUSED). This is a woman who casually watches Fulci movies while doing other things and this slimy green zombie guy sends her squealing out of the room. HALLOWEEN!!!!!
