LOL "Roman must look strong" is definitely Vince's "Phantom Menace." -
Movie [MOVIE] 2017 UPCOMING MOVIE DISCUSSION
Technico Support replied to RIPPA's topic in MOVIES & TV
One, it's a sequel and two (more importantly), it's also supposed to be the ending I mean, according to this promotional material which could easily just be ignored in the long run. On the "things can and will be different" tip, maybe don't have Stephen King as an integral character and don't job out both Big Bads in ridiculous and unsatisfying ways. -

Good point. Where the comparison falls apart (or stays the same) is in how involved the ownership is in day to day operations. Vince has never hired a GM to run WWE and then stepped away from it. -

Shit, you're right, I forgot option C: The company is still run by an insane septuagenarian with the attention span of a goldfish who changes his mind more often than my two year old. The writers could come to TV with the wrestling equivalent of Breaking Bad, quality-wise, and Vince would scrap it on a whim in favor dick jokes and whatever musclehead gives him a chub that day. That's another idea I've been kicking around. Is there any other company the size of WWE that has had the same leadership going on 35 years? Vince has been the final word on everything for the better part of FOUR DECADES. I feel like the lack of fresh blood where it counts is another reason they're so creatively stagnant. OH, and the fact that, as Meltzer as mentioned recently, their business model has changed to the point where they really don't even have to put out a good product anymore. -

THIS!!! But is it bad because Vince and the writers just plain suck, or is it bad because it's impossible to ever be good when you're trying to generate that much content? -

Thanks for the heads-up! Downloaded Nord's legs are disturbingly shiny. It's grossing me out a bit. -

It's the 2011 Tough Enough and I'm pretty sure the person horribly bailing on a front flip is Rima Fakih. The more famous gif from that season is this one: edit: LOL here's the video -

I just remembered that Enos and Bloom worked for WCW earlier in their careers under a masked gimmick as The Minnesota Wrecking Crew II, manged by Ole Anderson. They did this while they were the AWA world champs. Probably the first and only time a title holder from one national company worked midcard under a hood for another national company. (Yes I do realize calling 1990 AWA "a national company" is stretching it," but they had about the same TV coverage as ROH or TNA has now so fuuuuck yoooouuuuuu) -

Just cover all events leading to present day in the opening credits like Watchmen did. Except instead of "The Times, They Are A-changin,'" it's "Stand Back." -

Maybe they'll tell Vince's story through the eyes of a more likable third party a la The People vs Larry Flynt -

Could be worse. You could have created the expression "Dildo Blender." -
I can't remember...did Kim give up her house/apartment? In the latest episode, she's sleeping at the office and showering at the gym. Breaking Bad minor characters alert: In the Gus/Mike meeting, the henchman behind Mike is the one Gus eventually kills with a boxcutter. The henchman behind Gus is the one who gets blown up with Gus and Hector. The doctor Mike gets the drugs from is the same one who saves Gus, Jesse and Mike after they kill Don Eladio and his men.

Like when a fan referred to him as "Phil" when asking for an autograph instead of whatever goofy name that heretofore unknown inside wrestling locker room standards deem the fan should have used! What a total rude dipshit that fan was for not knowing Mr. Brooks preferred nomenclature. To paraphrase an old saying that I love, tell me you met a total dipshit fan in the morning, well, then you met a total dipshit. Tell me you met total dipshit fans all day, maybe the total dipshit is you. -

Claiming to hate a wrestler because of one gif, and then it turns out that gif isn't even that wrestler. Tremendous. Regardless, if you hate the Young Bucks, 1) you're falling for the work and 2) you probably haven't seen much Young Bucks. Probably haven't seen any. -

Caprice to Cedric, "don't let them see us together because they'll put us in a tag team." -
I watched Ms. Sloane over the weekend and it was hot garbage. There's a cute twist at the end but everything up to that is just shitty. My biggest problem was the dialogue. I found myself literally facepalming and getting angry at the dialogue several times during the course of the film. Every word was the exact opposite of "show, don't tell" with every character laying out exposition about the plot, the characters' attributes, backgrounds, etc. There's a scene where one character says something cynical and another character saying something lie, "that's the cynicism you people are known for." Like holy fucking fuck. It is a script that has zero faith in its audience and underlines everything, its dialogue acting as obvious signposts to call attention to every single thing you, the viewer, need to know. That's only one part of my issue with the dialogue. The other part is that nobody in real life talks like the people in this movie talk. Everyone was quick with a witty retort full of the most verbose bullshit you ever heard. Every character talked like they were the result of Aaron Sorkin fucking a thesaurus. Every statement and comeback was a speech instead of a conversation. The person who wrote this movie seriously should never work in Hollywood again. Conversely, I just read that this script "was ranked in the top five of Hollywood's 2015 Black List, an annual tally of the industry's favorite scripts of the year," which tells me how out of touch and in love with its own bullshit Hollywood is. Finally, I'm just sort of tired of Jessica Chastain. If I never see her or the Mara sisters in anything else ever again, it'll be too soon. Thanks for reading.

The Old School Questions thread
Technico Support replied to Mr Harms's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I once came across a homeless guy in Baltimore ranting about other homeless people invading his spot and "taking food out of my pocket." Which is better than "taking money out of my mouth," I guess.
