  1. It's on again

    it's off again

    where did it begin

    where does it end

    I thought it was over

    but it's still not the end

    All we have is right now

    We'll watch the clouds turn inside out

    If the sun doesn't rise

    That's fine I don't mind

    It's OK I prefer sitting in the dark anyway

    It's wintertime, it's low tide

    Let's hang for a while

    and watch the world die

    On the last day we are alive

     

  2. I just loved the Desolation of Smaug.  Loved the hell out of it.  I don't remember hardly anything from the book, so I'm shocked and surprised by just about anything.  I have absolutely no problem with the Killi / Tauriel / Legolas stuff.  It helps flesh out some of the nameless dwarfs and there's nothing at all wrong with that.  The only thing I didn't really care for was Gandalf's sidequest.  But the barrel escape, the big bear, and Smaug.  Smaug.  SMAUG.  Just astonishing.

     

    I do hope that Thorin Oakenshield and the Pale Orc get to have their Death Match, um, to the death. 

  3. Bray Wyatt should not wrestle another match until Wrestlemania.  He should only show up and wreck shop on already hurt people like he did at TLC.  He's got a bit of an aura, and he shouldn't take any offense for a long time. 

     

    And then of course, at Wrestlemania or whenever you want to give him his first loss, someone should smash that rocking chair on him. 

  4. I love how Brody's dying wish was for Carrie not to be at his execution.  And then there she is, making a spectacle of herself.  I'm pretty sure Brody did the getting-hanged version of an eye roll at her.  

  5. Went to TLC live.

    Of course I sat in front of that "smart" fan who chanted to himself "Goldberg" and "Husky Harris." Thankfully no one joined in.

    Bray Wyatt's offense looked very hurty and very explosive. His exorcist spider walk got a legit "That was creepy!" Chant that I hope made the telecast. Oh, and Bray made a kid cry on the way back up the ramp. He offered a kid his hat, then put it on himself and laughed.

    Main ending seemed botched. It was never more than OK.

    It was fun to see live. Crowd mostly loved Cena. Hated that mix/Kofi abortion and rightfully gave it the boring chant.

  6. Well, there's like four options. 

     

    1.  Cena wins both titles!

     

    2.  Orton wins both titles through chicanery!

     

    3.  Neither wins both titles, and we're back where we started.

     

    4. someone else leaves with the belts.

     

    I'd say, in order of likelihood, options 3 and 1 are the most likely.  Option 4 would be pretty interesting, and would have probably worked better if a) money in the bank were still in play and b) they had someone decent to actually pull it off.  Of course, they could always do the kick wham pedigree rout to have the belts go to Triple H, but does anyone actually want that?  A far better option would be for Undertaker to somehow come into possession of the belts and just start defending them once a year at Wrestlemania.

    Watched this on a lark, and I'm so glad I did.  Just a gorgeous film.  I was a little hesitant with the whole silent film thing, but it works as a throwback to those days but still works in a modern aspect as well.  Performances are through the roof, especially of the evil stepmother and Carmen -- throw in the dwarf who saves her life; he does nothing but look at her and you know exactly what he's feeling every time he's on screen.  But the real stars are the production design, the costuming, and the score.  Everything works, and everything is poetic and magical and I can't recommend it enough.

  10. So the advertised TLC card is just 

     

    Orton v. Cena TLC

    The Shield v. CM Punk

    The Wyatts v. Daniel Bryan

    Big E. Langston v. Damien Sandow

    AJ v. Natalya

     

    And that's it.  No other gimmick matches?  I remember TLC always having a TLC match, a ladder match, a table match, and a chair match.  And the  gimmicks will be wasted on Orton and Cena, who we know won't take any big bumps.  

     

    I guess they might have a tag match added -- Goldust and Cody v. Cesaro / Swagger.  

     

    I guess we're talking about a one-match show.

  11. Just finished Orphan Black.  Great finale.  Just so impressed.  Really looking forward to next season.

     

    Alison watching Ainsley die a la Walter White was way darker than I could expect from anything involving Alison.  And I'm not 100% sure Helena is dead.  I could see her having Kira's super healing power and coming back.  So many possibilities with this show. 

     

    Just a masterful performance.  Each Clone had a distinct look, distinct personality, distinct mannerisms.  Everything made sense.  Can't ask for more than that.

    Peter King is saying he expects Gary Kubiak to be fired today

     

     

    Are they firing everyone else too?  Please?

    Well someone has to coach out the season,  but I would think a housecleaning would be coming in about a month.

     

    Andre Johnson, Player-Coach?
