Nardwuar was all over Much Music, but I guess he didn't cross over to the Quebec French language version, MusiquePlus.

What more could you cover that wasn't already in Almost the Truth?

That's what I get for only skimming the article past the headline

Belichick* is getting hired by Washington! *Steve

SEVERIN FILMS OPTIONS KEREKES AND SLATER’S ESSENTIAL “KILLING FOR CULTURE” FOR DOCUMENTARY ADAPTATION; KIER-LA JANISSE TO DIRECT Kier-La Janisse just announced on her site that she would be directing a documentary adaption of Killing for Culture, about mondo and death films. She also directed the folk horror documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched and curated Severin's folk horror set, as well as the recently released Black Emanuelle box set.

Troughs in the old Winnipeg Arena too. Horrifying. Was it Chicago Stadium that had toilet stalls without doors?

Is, not was

Just to emphasize...dude literally did nothing of note in 50 minutes of ring time. Even the face off with his brother quickly turned into him lying on the mat. Shitass Grayson Waller came off as more important than either of them at the start.

He just can't do them anymore, he ate shit when he last tried a couple Rumbles ago. Time comes for us all. It also seems to be something they're, thankfully, going away from. If you have Katana and Ricochet in Rumbles and neither of them attempt a stupid, flippy, hopping around on one foot outside spot, then they likely don't want them done anymore. I don't remember one last year either, but I could be wrong. If I became czar of professional wrestling, the first change I'd make is that you have to have part of your body still on the ring apron to be counted as still in the match.

That's probably the worst crowd the WWE has had in years. The whole show's audio was a steady hum of casual conversation. They barely even seemed to get excited to do the countdowns. The announcing wasn't helping anything. McAfee was like early Collision Kevin Kelly, where its obvious that he hasn't been watching and doesn't know what any of the angles or gimmicks are. All 3 sounded actively bored during most of the men's rumble. Glad Cody won, hopefully he beats Roman and the Bloodline storyline gets put down like Old Yeller. The whole thing is running on fumes.

Big Time Wrestling name drop by Collinsworth. e: makes sense, he's from Dayton, which was part of the Sheik's territory

Bob Johnson died early in the season after the Penguins first cup. He was hospitalized before the season began for brain cancer, but he still oversaw things via videotape while Scotty Bowman acted as in-game coach.

My favourite running gag from their 10-1 start was Dan McQuade's weekly "Eagles fans despair as they win again" articles on Defector.

just another system coach, dime a dozen.

in what context?

According the the Sheik book, those were some of the best paydays of his career (maybe the best?) and helped get him out of debt. I'm sure Brody would have jumped at those if offered.

AHAHAHAHAHA You motherfuckers are never going to be rid of the Packers. .500 would have been a successful season, no matter what happens now we're playing with house money. Fuck the Cowboys. Fuck the Vikings. Fuck the fucking Bears. Lions, you can win a playoff game, you've earned it.

Watched The Empty Man (2020) and its a big recommendation from me. It flew under the radar after getting dumped into theatres during the first attempts to reopen during lockdowns. The basic plot of the movie is an ex-cop investigating the disappearance of his neighbour's daughter. The only clue that he has to go on is that she and her friends tried to summon the Empty Man, a Bloody Mary type of urban legend. If you come across an empty bottle on the bridge, you blow in it while thinking about the Empty Man. On the first night you hear him, the second night you see him, the third night you feel him. But that's really just the in to the story. It ties together the urban legend with folk horror elements, and new age pseudoscience elements. And a little Stephen Root for good measure. The opening 20 minutes is a prelude that makes the whole thing worth a watch on its own. It could have been released as an episode of a horror anthology series and fit right in. Speaking of, the same director did The Autopsy episode of GDT's Cabinet of Curiousities, so if you liked that, you may want to check The Empty Man out.

If only I could have as much success in the rest of my life lol

Frankenstein is such a shit ass story. I did enjoy the first half or so of Victor Frankenstein, mostly for how McAvoy and Radcliffe play off each other, like the weirdly erotic cyst draining scene. But everything after the reanimated monkey scene is pretty boring.

Do we really need another fucking Frankenstein?

Most importantly, Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson are both Emmy winners. Tim for I Think You Should Leave and Sam for Ted Lasso.

Purple sucks, but I never got his infatuation with green

I used to read Uniwatch religiously but have fallen off the last few years. He would always have super interesting deep dives in jersey minutia.
