Pretty sure Dave's wife has been tuning him out since sometime in the mid 90s.

Punk's Homicide impression sounds like Fred the Elephant Boy

Add Jaggers to the "guys I forgot I saw in person" list. I saw him in the mid-point of his career, teaming with Dutch Mantell in Crockett as The Kansas Jayhawks. I was only 12 so I couldn't really discern a good hand from a bad one back them, but there ya go.
JCP @ Baltimore, MD - Arena - December 13, 1986 (just under 10,000) (matinee)
Brad Armstrong defeated Shaska Whatley
Bobby Jaggers & Dutch Mantell defeated Ivan Koloff & Krusher Kruschev
Big Bubba defeated NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion & NWA US Tag Team Champion Ron Garvin in a streetfight
The Road Warriors defeated Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey
Dusty Rhodes won a Bunkhouse Stampede match
NWA World Champion Ric Flair defeated NWA US Champion Nikita Koloff -
The idea that adapting a book to make a film is somehow more artistically valuable than doing another shameless remake/reboot/reimagining/sequel to a film is laughable. Really, what's the difference between adapting a book and continuing a franchise? Both come from the same cynical place: Hollywood execs looking for a surefire hit by adapting a property that already has an existing fanbase. Why build an audience when you can buy one? There is no difference between making another Men and Black, another Nicholas Sparks adaptation, Avengers 4, or Perfect Strangers: The Motion Picture. It all comes from the same unimaginative, risk-averse strategy. People lined up for Star Wars Episode I and The Hunger Games equally.

This needs to end. I hope it fails miserably. Do people not even write books anymore? Can't they steal/use ideas from books instead of just rebooting shit every 10 years-15 years?
50 Shades of Grey
Every future dystopia chosen one YA novel written in the past 10 years
Essentially any garbage books that become a trend will get made into a movie, so be careful what you wish for.

I like the idea that Vader decided to work smart like older Andre.
More like Jimmy Valiant. As a matter of fact, before their duel, Vader was overheard saying, "Brother, I ain't gonna bump for ya. And if I fall down help me up."
Well it makes sense when you had a senior citizen fighting a guy in a walking iron lung. . . .
Makes sense until you consider decrepit, aged Yoga briefly flying around like (insert luchadore here) in the 2nd film using the power of the Force.

People live in Wyoming/The Dakotas/Montana?

Needs a Mike Rotundo guest spot so we can have The Captain and Tenille.
I'm so sorry.

Phantom Menace was shit but you guys are sleeping on the second best fucking lightsaber fight of the franchise.
Sure but the lightsaber fights in the prequels are an anachronism. I guess Lucas thought acrobatic ninja flippy lightsaber duels looked cool and now had the technology to do it and thus couldn't resist, but then fast forward to in the timeline to the original trilogy where duels are more methodical and I guess we're supposed to believe the art of lightsaber fighting devolved.

Yeah, everyone says that. The original script supposedly had the entire movie taking place in New York, staging various setpieces at famous landmarks; but then New Line decided to cut their budget by more than half, so we got that "Jason Takes a Cruise" disappointment instead.
You're right, I forgot all about that. Been a while since I read "Crystal Lake Memories."
-
I didn't have the fortitude to rewatch it but from what I recall, isn't it some pretty egregious false advertising? From what I remember from seeing it as a young'un, shouldn't it have been called "Jason on a Boat with Maybe 15 Minutes in NY?"

Finally saw Mad Max this weekend, which led me to this

On the "Friday the 13th series playing right now of SyFy" tip:
I have FiOS, so my program guide shows posters in the film listings. The poster used in the guide for Jason Takes Manhattan is actually one of the banned "I (heart) NY" ones. That's awesome.
-
Well they're in L.A. so "go to the desert" might mean Palm Springs.
I thought Reuben Blades' character was going to torture that soldier strictly through Old Man Stories. Jesus Christ this fucking show.
Charismatic Black Tuxedo Dude is the best character on the show and he was just introduced in the penultimate episode.
It's weird hearing Elizabeth Rodriguez speak without the New York Latino accent from OitNB.

My list:

Yeah but she's pretty and doesn't have a natural aptitude for this dumb thing we all like so she can go to hell.
This.
There have already been at least two posts with dudes hoping Asuka stiffs and injures her. FFS. See, Asuka is from Japan and thus is a "real" worker who will get revenge for us and uphold the good name of wrestling.
Between misogyny, psychotic disdain for a subpar worker and irrational love of Japan, we're well on the way to winning smart mark bingo.

Please play that on loop at Cornette's house until he has a coronary

That mugshot dude looks like Rey Mysterio Jr & Drake Younger had a butt babby

Dana Brooke looks like Randy the Ram in that gif

Apropos of nothing at all, who feels the wrestling world is ready for The Big Boss Man II?
Well we already have Bill Carr looking like Big Bubba II so just change his outfit.
-
Right, that's why I asked. I Googled first and didn't see anything like his dad wrestling as "sr" so I wondered what the deal was with his name. Weird.

I want to meet the mad genius that kidnapped that girl, tattooed her from head to toe all at once, then took a few weeks to keep the tattoos properly moisturized and cleaned so they'd heal properly.

One of the companies we contract some of our IT work to has a tech named "Michael Hayes." It's always a source of lulz for me. I was just cc'd on the following:
"We are showing eno4 is down. Do I need to send Michael Hayes to the data center?"
Imagining the ol' Freebird bopping on down to the cage where the servers are to reconnect a cable. Definitely wearing a sparkly rebel flag cape.

2015 UPCOMING MOVIES/CASTING NONSENSE
in MOVIES & TV

We should probably never take ourselves to seriously, me included, when discussing how creatively bankrupt the Hollywood remake/sequel machine is. Because every once in a while we get Fury Road and all is forgiven for about 5 minutes.
I also liked all the Terminator sequels.
