  1. Seeing that essay and reading 11 year old Bayley refer to it as WWE...it's amazing that there are people working for the company who weren't around or barely remember it being called WWF.  Now I feel old as fuck.

  2. NFL has talked contingency plan for Eagles/Skins on Sunday since DC might be getting hit with the Hurricane

     

    The plan is that since both have the same bye week - game would be played Week 8

     

    When did playing in the rain, even hard rain, become a problem?  This shit isn't going to be Superstorm Sandy-level bad.  Christ.

     

    Steelers face Ravens tonight night with both Ben and Pouncey injured.   Fuck.. It is going to be a long graveyard shift.

     

    Nah, you're fine.  The Ravens can't find their ass with two hands this season.

  3. Page didn't get anything he didn't deserve. He was friends with Bischoff in '94 when he was jobbing and easy sudden the cats.

     

    I have no idea what this means but it's awesome.  It reads like you had a stroke mid-post.

     

     

    I think he deserves more than what he got at the time. I still firmly believe he should've been the one to end the streak at Havoc and enter 1999 as the face-champion.

     

    (DDP probably would've carried the stupid angle with Elizabeth claiming assault on 1/4 better as well.)

     

     

     

    DDP definitely has more of a sexual predator or a "I'll slap a broad" vibe to him than Goldberg.

  4. Baltimore is so bad they're even left out of GojiColin's analysis of 0-3 teams.

     

    At first I think, maybe they can beat the Steelers since Roethlisberger is out?  But then I remember they lost to the Raiders.  Fuuuuck.

  5. Oh shit yeah I forgot about that.  The box in the middle of the ring for all matches.  What the everloving fuck?  Seriously I need to know what the dimensions of said box were to be.  Was it going to be a huge box like the one wrestlers would pop out of from time to time, or a small one so Johnny Mundo could do douchey parkour shit off it?  Maybe there was supposed to be a Campeon del Crossfit title where the guy who did the most box jumps wins the belt and has to defend it against other bros.   Was there supposed to be something in the box?  Was there a payoff or just a box in the middle of the ring for no damn good reason?

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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."
