I must be an outlier. I've had multiple MRIs in my life and actually found them quite relaxing.

Why is Face Fuck Me Girl cosplaying Mario? My boner is so confused right now.

Careful about asking these questions. I've read people complaining about the existence of:
- One very minor Middle Eastern character
- One normal gay relationship
- One quick instance of explicit gay sex
as evidence that the show is pushing a liberal agenda on us. There are people out there watching TV who see anything outside of their acceptable norm (white male hetero characters) as evidence that Librul Hollywood is trying to indoctrinate us.

I'm really not sure what anyone wants in a wrestling crowd.
The Baltimore GAB crowds. Those are the pinnacle of crowds IMO.
You're welcome!

They literally ran their rookie, potential franchise quarterback into the ground in one season.
The best description for this, which I think I read on Deadspin, was that Snyder and the Shanahans treated him like a little kid treats a toy car he gets on Christmas morning. Just play with it like crazy and run it all over the house until it breaks. They had next to zero concern for this guy and his health in his one good season. He was playing an insane style that was destined to lead to injury and nobody told him to try something different because it was too fun and got the team some positive attention and success for once. He was absolutely the fun new toy for a shitty organization that usually never sees Christmas and doesn't know how to act.
As you said, they ran him into the ground. I remember the play where he first injured his leg, doing some weird-ass twisting dive with one leg up in the air, instead of just sliding, against Haloti Ngata. Why wasn't he coached not to do that and to instead slide properly, especially when someone three times your size is bearing down? Nobody on the Skins gave a shit as long as he was winning and grabbing headlines. They ruined this kid's career and now the team and its awful fans are acting like it's his fault.
You guys and girl don't think his personality has changed? This is the dude who just recently said he considers himself the best QB in the league. He's made other comments in the past, blaming his failures on others. If it isn't that, then it's every coach at the pro level shitting on him for being an ass.
So do you disregard the stated and implied experiences of others with RG3, along with things RG3 has said, because he supposedly hasn't changed? Or, is everyone else right.
Me personally, I think everyone else is right. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
I'm split on his personality. Part of me thinks he's a stupid toolbag who speaks in bumper sticker cliches and Under Armor slogans. Part of me thinks, fuck it, hes an NFL QB, and a young one at that, and that's the perfect combination for this kind of dumb behavior so I can't blame him.
If you choose to see it as arrogance instead of the youthful cluelessness of a guy who got too much too fast and was never told no, then you dislike him because he has no right to be so cocky considering where his career is.

In some alternate universe, Music Sting talked Wrestling Sting into sitting in for a set with the Police, only for the band to turn on Wrestling Sting and beat him down halfway through "Everything She Does is Magic."

I can't remember a Presidential candidate who was so hated by both parties and yet here he is with massive poll numbers. I still feel like the shoe will fall eventually but holy shit it's been quite fascinating to say the least.
I wonder if Trump would still appear on RAW at this point? I assume he and Vince are still tight.
There is a wrestling aspect to Trump's success, I think. It really is a matter of being "good on the mic." He just talks, like, normal. Free and easy. He jokes around like a normal person. He says things like, "Hey, did you see Fallon last night? Funny guy, kind of an idiot, but whatevah."
There's a wrestling aspect to his success but I disagree with your assertion that it's his ability to speak plainly. Rather, the wrestling aspect is his ability to use cheap heat.
He's just going out there and saying the most outlandish, chauvinistic and racist shit possible to 1) get coverage from the press and 2) get the support of the worst part of the Republican base, the angry white guys and dumb yokels too stupid or blinded by hate to know they're being worked.
I'd commend him for exposing our awful political system for the carny shitshow it is, but now his act is just getting dangerous and irresponsible. A few days ago, two clearly well-informed Republican voters in Boston assaulted and pissed on a homeless Latino while ranting about how Trump is right about these immigrants. Trump took no responsibility and just said the two were "passionate' about wanting America to be great again.
So yeah, Trump is a heel getting cheap heat and then sneaking out the back door when the riot starts and the marks burn down the arena.

Holy shit. You guys are worse than Kevin Dunn. Now Paige has a gut?
She's had it for a while. It's only noticeable because she was quite slim for while. She's not fat by any means, but she's gained weight. Could be for any number of reasons.
No one is fat-shaming her.
Nope, we're just discussing her "gut" and whether or not her shorts still fit. That's much better than fat shaming. Vast improvement. We've come so far.
(For the record, i was unaware that she had a "gut' or "had" to change shorts.)
Funny, I thought the whole conversation about her "gut" was meant to be a sarcastic dig about WWE's image-conscious ways. Nobody here is seriously looking at Paige going from 105 to 110 like, "woah, slow down on the Monster Thickburgers, lardass!"

I've been to a great deal of live wrestling but in very few buildings:
- Baltimore Arena over multiple name changes. It's amazing it's been there since 1962.
- The old Capitol Center for whatever 90s Survivor Series was there
- Verizon Center (Starrcade 97)
- Philadelphia National Guard Armory for the ROH show with the Kobashi Joe Ki Homicide tag.
- Basketball City in NY for whatever ROH show had Danielson & Joe vs KENTA & Marufuji
- The minor league baseball stadium in Frederick, MD, whose name escapes me. WWE used to go there every Summer until it rained one year 2-3 matches in and they had to cancel the show and come back in September to make good.
- A few tiny places somewhere in the Baltimore area, probably converted grocery stores, for some local sleazy indies back in the day. I did get to see King Kahlua vs Tom Brandi! Yay.
- The Clarence Du Burns "arena" where ROH did a bunch of tapings when they first got on Sinclair.
I guess I'd say the Baltimore Arena was the best purely for nostalgia reasons. You name any legend from the late 70s and on and I probably saw him there live. I was there for everything from the Bunkhouse Stampede shows to Attitude-era Raws. I even saw Bruno's last match there, teaming with Hogan against Gang & Bundy.
The minor league stadium was also awesome due to the cool atmosphere of seeing big name wrestling outdoors at a small venue like that. The main of one of the shows was Benoit defending the title against HHH and we had seats on the field itself.
The Du Burns arena was fun because I knew an employee who got me in free and also because the bathrooms were in the same hallway as the locker room, so you'd always run into wrestlers when going to take a leak.
Worst would probably be the Verizon Center. We were a few rows from the very top of the arena and it was just awful. Definitely one of those "vertical" arenas where everything above lower concourse just sucks.

What if Adrian Adonis didn't get all Pillsbury Doughboy? Would the WWF still make him become "Adorable"?
What if Bill Watts booked Herb Abrams's version of the UWF?
Black champion.

So anyone who had "Star Wars, Fight Club and The Sixth Sense" on their Plot Twist Bingo Card is a big winner.
At least they're self-aware regarding the stuff they're
ripping offpaying homage to. That subtle piano piece at the end of the episode was definitely a cover of The Pixies' "Where is My Mind," which was playing during the closing scene in Fight Club.-

Both that pic and the Taker/Brock/Heyman/Steph pic are in serious need of a Brazzers logo.

What about Sam Worthington? He had a lot of hype following Avatar but everything he's done since its like he's been slowly falling off the top
...because he is a horrible actor.
Dude couldn't hide his Aussie accent if you held a gun to his head. I just rewatched Terminator 4 (yeah, fuck you, I like that movie) and the guy still sounds like Crocodile Dundee half the time.
re Dean Winters: dude almost died. Everything after that is gravy.

Loved the meet between White Rose and Eliot.
BD Wong as White Rose = Mind Blown.
Gay/Trans Asian hacker is already played out and done better with Hoon Lee as Job from Banshee. Everybody else is just playing for second.

He looks like he should have a Civil War reenactor gimmick.
Is his actual nickname "The Carolina Caveman" or is that just something Excalilbur coined?

Mundo or Alberto maybe?

Did the Hogan Scandal ruin ESPN doing the bit of SummerSlam coverage that was assumed to happen ?
Nah, Beadle getting all pissy about Triple H supporting Floyd Mayweather killed that.
Yeah man fuck her for calling out HHH for supporting a woman beater. Broads, amirite? Musta been on her period, eh?

The Walking Dead.
in "COMIC BOOK" MOVIES & TV
Posted
I thought it was okay-ish. Definitely a slow, "table-setting" episode. I like that, because of the long-form narrative that TV offers, we can get to see the world slowly unravel instead of having to join things after everything has already gone to shit, as we see in zombie movies. Things are falling apart exactly as they really would. We wouldn't go from normal to *BOOM* streetfuls of zombies; it would happen slowly, right under our noses, unnoticed or disregarded until it was too late.
That being said, if it didn't have the built-in Walking Dead goodwill, they definitely wouldn't have had the leeway to make a pilot episode that was so slow.
