Teddy Hart interviews are always a hard pass for me. Equal parts maddening and depressing. Depressing in a way that listening to street people or conspiracy theorists is depressing. The dude is a delusional, never-was, attention whore who never meant shit to wrestling. Giving him airtime just feeds his fantasy that he's somebody.

The whole blackmail thing wasn't even necessary. What if Shane came back, demanded a spot managing Raw, and Vince said he could have it if he won a match? See how much simpler that is and how much better it works? It took 28 writers and Vince McMahon himself to actually create a much more convoluted story, one that made no sense at all.

Holy shit, Identity. I've never seen another film where the plot twist killed off any desire to care about the movie like that one did. "Oh, none of this is real and it's all taking place in some guy's head? Why should I give two shits?"

Its a shame that mantraps are illegal. I mean I get it, but it would dissuade people pretty damn quick if they got stuck in a net or electrocuted.

They fucked up the Shane return on night 1.
Shane: Vince, I have some information on you and I am blackmailing you into giving me control of Raw.
Vince: Okay, I fear your blackmail and I will give you control of Raw. IF you win a match.
Wait. What? You'd think a guy who'd been held up for paydays and belts would understand how blackmail works.
This company could fuck up a wet dream.

So I recently finished binge-watching all four seasons of Banshee. If you haven't seen it, Banshee tells the story of an unknown stranger who comes into town to meet up with a woman from his past life. He's just gotten out of prison after 15 years. While sitting in a bar, the new sheriff of Banshee, Lucas Hood, walks in. Before long, Hood gets into a shootout with some thugs and all end up dead. The stranger takes over Hood's identity and becomes sheriff of Banshee. He pulls this off thanks to a hacker friend who is able to make him "become" Hood. Hood then seeks revenge on the guy who sent him to prison as well as trying to take down the local former-Amish-turned-mob-boss thug. The premise is ridiculous but they sell it well and it somehow works.
What Banshee has, besides a crazy premise, is TONS of fantastic, gory violence. There's a sadistic edge to it and it's easily the most-violent TV show I've ever seen. The violence often comes as part of FANTASTIC fight scenes. There's at least one great fight in every episode. Often they are man vs woman and the women are treated as absolutely equals - highly skilled, tough characters meant to be taken seriously. One drawback is that EVERYONE in the show is some kind of super ninja, so that's a bit ridiculous but a minor quibble.
Along with the tons of violence, there's also lots of nudity. The women are all gorgeous (Lili Simmons!) and on full display here.
All in all, a fun show that is really good through 3 seasons and pretty good in the 4th. I highly recommend checking it out.
And here's a fight scene from s3e03 that's easily my favorite fight ever:
Banshee is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. It's funny because at first I thought, "this is just too violent" (the episode where Hood beats up the MMA fighter). Then, much like a PWG match with 138 highspots, I found myself laughing at it and charmed by it, because the show knew exactly what it was doing, and that the violence was purposely over the top. Excellent from start to finish, great characters and a pitch-perfect ending. I can't recommend this show enough.

God what a dumb fucking move. The guy taking it has no ability to protect himself and, I don't remember the proper terms from the bullshit college 100 level physics course I took 20 years ago, but his head is literally swinging toward the ground faster than any other part of his body.
There's a video out there of Matt Sydal watching this and he's horrified. And he made a great point, saying he wanted to keep getting better at wrestlng specifically so he could wrestle better people instead of dipshits who want to try dumb stuff.

Odd, I was pretty lukewarm about IM2 up until they gave Whiplash the Grade A superhero brawl that the Iron Monger should've gotten in the first IM movie.
I did enjoy that part, but then it turned into Animated Iron Man and Animated War Machine vs Army of Animated Robot Drones (venue: a computer) and it just killed all my enjoyment. If I want to watch a straight up cartoon, I'll stay home and watch G.I. Joe reruns. Knowing is half the battle.

I still prefer Iron Man 2.
I liked it until the huge fight at the end, where it hit me that I was just watching a cartoon. CG characters in a massive battle with CG characters. Took me right out of the movie. Probably irrational but what can ya do?

Except the problem with Iron Man 3 establishes that he has PTSD, and it's kind of jettisoned midway through.
It wasn't jettisoned; he was healed by a plucky young magical moppet
Fuck, all Iron Man movies with a number in the title sucked.

WB has abandoned the idea of a remake and wants to do something a bit more loyal to Nolan's 1977 novel right down to lastday being 21 years old instead of 30 and a hard PG-13 / possible R rating.
The last bit still creeps me out a bit. Are you really going to have all of the stuff in Logan's Run with a cast made up mostly of minors?
Gotta get that Post Apocalyptic Teen Dystopia money before that train leaves town for good

As a man who knows what Banshee is about and has seen what Lana looks like, this new information intrigues me.
She's in the 5th or 6th episode, when an old prison buddy of the main character comes to town. But seriously, watch the whole series, it's bonkers.
-
This is your friendly reminder that Banshee was an awesome Cinemax TV show and Lana was a....uh...special guest star in an early episode

Re "rzombie1988," I always found it funny that a far righty would apparently be a fan of a musician who is an ethical vegetarian PETA supporter and huge liberall. But I guess Republicans have to have some kind of cognitive dissonance to enjoy any kind of entertainment outside of Larry the Cable Guy and Ted Nugent.

Deckard has aged, so he's decisively not a replicant. Good.

You know how there's bits of American that the rest of the country makes fun of for marrying their cousins? Norfolk is the English version of those places. So when you brought up his bloodline, a lot of people from Norfolk have very pure bloodlines. Inhumanly pure.
To save you a lot of words, just say "West Virginia" in the future.
