I finally got around to seeing it with my mom. What struck me, because I was with her, is if they really did 'dumb it down' from being intense like the rumors said then I'd love to see what it was before, as it was certainly the most intense Star Wars movie. I am immune to such things, but my mother is not. She's a bit sensitive, like she couldn't watch the war scenes in Forrest Gump and didn't get through Dark Knight Rises type of sensitive. Anyway, she made it through Star Wars but had to close her eyes during some of the dying scenes. The lack of blood helps but the beach scenes in particular I think reminded her of war movies.
I also had to chuckle as people were complaining about time-issues, but didn't mention the worst one of all - how exactly did Jyn get to the bottom of the basin and back up to see her father in about 20 minutes. It didn't bother me personally, but I've been mountain climbing and if you can see the peak from the ground, it still takes hours to get there, and I've never climbed a 1,000 rung ladder before but I can imagine it sucks. Normal action movie stuff of course, but more noticeable than people escaping a city that is about to be blown up when shit was already going down.
I didn't feel they dumbed it down. Rather, I felt a lot of the early stuff in the film was a convoluted mess. So much so that they had to rip off the whole "Planet Name and Description" thing from Guardians of the Galaxy every time they showed a new planet. They have never done that in a Star Wars film and it stuck out like a sore thumb.
I absolutely agree with the mountain climbing thing. They were really far away from the platform when they landed. Cassian had to climb up and over a bit to just get a level shot, but somehow Jyn could get right to the platform in the same amount of time? That was a real WTF moment for me. Maybe she had hidden jets in her feet like R2D2.

A main roster storyline where she's either crazy or a bitch. Her pick.
And implants.

People aren't mad at Steve Harvey for transgressive humor. That corny mainstream fuckwad is as far from transgressive as you can get. People hate Harvey because he's a condescending mysoginist chucklefuck who is such a shit he tried to get Bernie Mack fired off Ocean's 11 so he could have the role. Fuck that Bigen mustached motherfucker.

I worked with a Pittsburgh fan who, when the Ravens played the 49ers in the Super Bowl, rooted for his hated division rival just because a Niners win would mean the Steelers would have to share that dumb record. That's how pathetic Steelers fans are. Keeping sole ownership of a meaningless stat > a rival winning the Super Bowl.

You are not a Steelers fan? Why do you hate America, Technico Support?
You're clearly not from Pittsburgh, since the correct yinzer response to any criticism is HURRRR SIX RINGS

Putting two bad football teams in a city that doesn't care about football to begin with* is the absolute height of NFL hubris.
Source: I emailed my brother in LA who told me they've already forgotten about the Rams and won't care about the Chargers if they start losing out of the gate like the Rams did.

You also had Tony Halme/Ludvig Borga!

Steelers vs Patriots. Rooting for option 3: meteor strike. Pats fans will blame a league conspiracy and Steelers fans will blame Tomlin, claiming it wouldn't have happened under Cowher.

The Bret Hart mask looks uncomfortably like Bret was skinned.
It places the lotion in the basket. It does what it's told or it gets the Five Moves of Doom again.

Wait, I thought it was a tournament to crown the champion of the UK. That screenshot is clearly from the Brooklyn Championship tourney. The second place guy won a sixer of craft beer and the third place finisher got some cold brew coffee.

Speaking of music, I hope whatever they played when Hero did his confrontation with Nakamura was just some placeholder theme. Because "Chris is Awesome" >>>> (infinity)>>>>> generic guitar-based cock rock

Chronologically, the television series, Airwolf, is a lighter version of the movie, Blue Thunder. Some genius at CBS wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the Blue Thunder movie and decided that television needed a series featuring a bad ass attack helicopter. He was right.
Then someone at one of the other networks saw Airwolf's ratings and decided that the best way to compete was to adopt Blue Thunder for television, but that didn't work out so well.
DVDVR Films is going to bring Airwolf to the big screen in a gloriously violent manner. Fowler and I will discuss who we want to write the treatment.
Don't forget, there was a Blue Thunder TV series, too.

I liked Elysium but I'm a sucker for Blomkampt's heavy-handed life lessons shit.

She's great on upupdowndown, she was good with Renee, she was great with all the video game reviewer sites when she was out promoting WWE 2K17 also.
Sorry, I thought the OP meant promos when he said "interviews."

I think there's good money to be made off of Lesnar vs Joe. Lesnar beats Goldberg at Fastlane, Heyman on Raw says there's no one for Lesnar to face, out comes Joe and then no one stops those two monsters from stiffing the shit out of each other.
This is the "smart mark bubble" stuff I was taking about. When Vince looks at Samoa Joe, he definitely does not see a killer who deserves to be booked as the badass equal of Brock Lesnar. (cue the Scott Steiner drops)

Is it realistic that they'll push that mystery man there in your spoiler tag? Every time someone mentions booking him like a killer on the main roster and programming him with Cena or Lesnar (seriously???), I think they're just in the smart mark bubble.

I audibly gasped when I read that. Absolutely unexpected.
