  1. I finally got around to seeing The Hateful Eight. I found it overlong and kind of boring. I really wanted to like it and it had some good spots but they didn't really add up to anything good. It's like Tarantino figured the best part of a Tarantino movie was the dialogue, so he made a movie that was nothing but Tarantino dialogue. I did enjoy Demian Bechir's 3 hour Strongbad impersonation, though.
  2. See I wondered if his angry guy thing was just schtick and he's just playing to his base, then I remember that he's been fired form every company he's ever worked for because he's an angry guy, so it's most likely legit. Or Kaufmanesque dedication to his gimmick.
  3. Disco can join the League of Nations, as Funkytown seceded from the U.S. 1977.
  4. Guy who was involved in scaffold matches and a feud with Miss Atlanta Lively reminisces about the old days when wrestling was taken seriously as a sport.
  5. Definitely. It's just that it comes across as disingenuous when Jada has no complaints until the year Will makes an Oscar bait pic and the academy doesn't go for it. Now she's an activist?
  6. NOOOOOOO Commentary and happy ending were stupid. DC is much better. Also, Aliens. Counterpoint: Though it was added at the behest of the studio, the bored, monotone voiceover makes it even more of a film noir detective movie. Much worse than that is how the the revisionist "Deckard is a Repicant" stuff ruins the story of how the Replicants have more humanity than Deckard. This one change moved what was a meditation on what it means to have humanity into lame-ass M. Night Shymalan territory. HE'S A ROBOT! WHAT A TWIST! All that said, I, too, can do without the tacked-on happy ending with its Shining overhead shots.
  7. I came here specifically to comment on how Business Casual King Cuerno dresses like a member of a Norteno band.
  8. LOL @ this Newton argument. The last thing uptight white folk like to see is a dominant black player enjoying his dominance. He should be stoic and maybe even thankful to the league owners for their graciousness in allowing him to ply his trade, right? What's with this "he should be like Jim Brown or Barry Sanders?" Picking two black dudes who "knew how to act?" That's offensive. Don't want a dude to laugh and dance? Play better defense. White QBs celebrate all the damn time. When Newton does it he's "uppity," I guess. This is the same shit we saw with Griffin and Kaepernick. White QB arrogance is reimagined as confidence and leadership while arrogant black QBs are just considered "thugs" who don't "play the game the right way." Wilson is the exception to the rule because he's a bible-thumper and doesn't make a show of himself. This is why I want to see Carolina win. Bullshit like this. EDIT: not meant as an attack on sabremike. I want to give you the benefit of a doubt and assume that's not what you mean. I've just been hearing shit like this all season and it's a disgusting double standard.
  9. WWE seamstresses just finished Reigns' new "Road to Wrestlemania" gear
  10. If you just want to get rid of the old PC, I picked up an ASUS VivoPC specifically for the living room and it's great. It was only like $250 and I use it for WWE network and watching movies from an attached USB drive. Works like a dream so far. Get that and a Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo and you're in business.
  11. He said, in his own Meltzerian way, that she did some shit someone didn't like and this was her punishment. But keep being contrarian. That never gets old.
  12. Yeah, none of this is an actual thing. Not even remotely. ( blah blah blah) Because you say so? Okay, then. So Rock was just reminiscing about romance, women are never portrayed poorly in wrestling and nobody is ever booked in a bad way as punishment. Glad we got that sorted. To stay consistent, please never comment on any wrestling news stories from Meltzer, etc because they're not credible in your mind.
  13. Sundance TV is airing Breaking Bad reruns every Wednesday night. God damn, what a show.
  14. I live and work in suburban DC, where we got a little over 2 feet and it's going to be over 60 next week. wtf
  15. UGH. Good luck, man.
  16. Yes nobody in WWE has ever been booked negatively as punishment you're exactly right this is just like Mad Men
  17. This is stupid. As is the opinion that one person having sex with another person in the past makes that person a whore. It was a planned segment that obviously Lana and Rusev bought off on. Are you just being contrarian to win some Internet Points? This wasn't Rock reminiscing about some lovely time they had together. Pro tip: whenever a pro wrestling storyline involves a woman fucking a dude, she's made out to be a slut, and this was no different. Your second point is utterly ridiculous, also. "Do this segment or get further in the doghouse" isn't really a choice. Edit: I just read about how this segment was punishment for Lana yelling at Rusev in an airport. Wow, this fucking company. Hopefully they'll straighten this out by have Steve Austin offer a Performance Center seminar on keeping your woman in line.
  18. Less talk about Dolph Ziggler's place and more talk about how WWE was apparently angry about a woman's backstage behavior so their solution was to have a huge star call her a whore on television.
  19. Oh man don't remind me. That team was Brian Billick football at its finest. Play hard until you get to the 30, then "Oh shit, we've got a guaranteed field goal, don't jeopardize it going for a touchdown!" It was great winning a Super Bowl, unbearable the other 8 or so seasons.
  20. Exactly. Here's the rule: did the QB obviously throw the ball away to avoid a loss? Then he intentionally grounded the ball. The rule is right there in the fucking name. A sack is one of the most exciting plays in the game and to have a QB take that away from you by throwing it at the ground is the worst.
  21. TNA's graphic designer (who am I kidding? TNA's mark fan who does free Photoshop work for them) discovered dafont.com for the first time recently. We've all been there. Is there some Papyrus in there?
  22. I was watching some Mid-South and there's a match with Brett Sawyer & some guy vs the SUPER GREEN Blade Runners where the announcer casually refers to Hellwig being on steroids. God damn 1986 was a different time. There's also a match between Koko and Rick Steiner. It's really early in Steiner's career and he's wrestling in plain trunks and boots and using his real name. I had no idea he did that.
  23. He's been borderline on a couple before that too. . . . The league really should do something about the intentional grounding rule, but I'm sure they won't. The rule is seriously broken when it allows for Brady to be in the grasp of two defensive players and about one foot from the ground, and then shovel pass it into the dirt 10 feet from a receiver who is not even looking.
