    I never heard that story about The Conjuring. That's amazing and also an indictment of the all-to subjective and easily corrupted ratings system. I haven't seen Joy ride in forever but it was definitely great.

    LOL HDTGM is the reason I watched that movie! Amazing episode and I second that recommendation for anyone who hasn't listened to it.

    No self awareness, born on third and tells everybody he hit a triple. Zero concept of what privilege is.

    Punisher: War Zone. There's a douchy gang of parkour guys and you think it's being built to a huge confrontation. That that happens. Now I can never see parkour anywhere without hoping one of them takes an RPG to the sternum. I felt bad for Morrison because he's a little gimpy on the 2-3 moves he did after that spot. You know his knees were like, "dude, WTF, we're 35 now."

    What I think of every time I see parkour

    LOL If every episode was written with Gregg's idea of "TV 101" in mind, we'd have 5 minutes of real content after the 55 minute recap.

    Calling a match without a promo "wrestling for wrestling's sake" shows how out of touch Vince really is or just how far he wants to get away from pro wrestling. Even without a promo, a match has a purpose: to get guys over. When I started watching this stuff, we got WWF Superstars or Wrestling Challenge and there were 3-4 squashes and that was it. Demolition didn't need a fucking soliloquy before destroying Ricky Ataki for us to understand that killing these jobbers meant that they were serious contenders to the belts. Matches mean nothing today because of the way they book storylines and finishes, not because matches inherently are meaningless without a 15 minute diatribe to build them.

    Kidd's shirt was awesome and I want one

    Was there an angle where Sandow wished everyone "Happy Holidays," thus incurring Henry's wrath? Was Kirk Cameron in the WSM's corner?

    Sometime about physics and how it hurts more because the floor has less give than the ring? Fuck if I know, I'm no rocket surgeon.

    All this "brass ring" and "it factor" talk is so disingenuous. Wrestling is fake. Vince could get over anybody he wants to get over. Christ, look at Goldberg. He had a decent look, small but negligible charisma and next to no talent. WCW booked him like a star and he got over. I have no idea how Vince determines what "it" is or when exactly a talent has truly "grabbed the brass ring" and I doubt he does, either. It's just his corporate speak he uses to justify pushing or burying whatever guy his insane whims decided to push/bury today. Do you mean to tell me that Orton and Cena are the only guys who "grabbed the brass ring" or had "it" in the past 15 years? Vince says WWE is Americana and he's right. We like to pretend it's a meritocracy and anybody can grab the brass ring if they try hard enough (DURRR BOOTSTRAPS~!) while ignoring all the machinations in the background that work against all but a few.

    Sure but it's still a shitty finish.

    Nine Inch Nailz

    That's my guess, though I think I recall Noah saying he was from Richmond and that they had a "city with walls" there, so they're substituting Richmond for Alexandria, I suppose.

    Who would have been the heel and who would have been the face? Vince rarely did face vs face and Hogan was still hot in 88 when Bruno had his last match.

    I felt like that part of the movie was solely designed to shock the audience and no thought was put into how that would actually work and the effect that would really have on a person. Because what you said about going a little nuts is exactly right.

    Watt is a mook who speaks in dumb footbaw cliches and I refuse to believe he wasn't actually created in a lab by Gregg Easterbrook types who wanted a great white hope to save the sport from "thugs" and "glory boys."

    Man, I had to watch my team (The Ravens, I know, I know) lose by one point, too. And I knew it was coming. At some point in the game, the announcers touted this stat: "San Diego is 7/7 on 3rd down conversions." It was obvious to anyone that the vaunted (and overrated) Baltimore defense was shitting the bed all day, would have been blown out without two very lucky turnovers, and was going to lose the game for us. Even up by 10 with 5 minutes left, I knew it was over. I'd rather be blown out, turn this shit off at halftime and enjoy the rest of my day than stick with it for almost 4 hours and just be pissed all night. The NFL, man. And now Cincinatti will probably win the division because of a tie.

    I'm not sure where you heard or read that but Meltzer just mentioned Michaels being a shitty draw on top a day or two ago.

    Hoffman was really amazing in The Master, an otherwise forgettable movie. I finally sat down and watched 70s classic Pumping Iron over the weekend. It sucks knowing that it was a docudrama and that parts were staged, which makes it a little hard to take seriously and calls pretty much the whole plot into question. Still, it was a very cool look into the bodybuilding subculture of the era. Arnold was amazingly charismatic and it's easy to see how he ended up with the film and political careers he did. I felt bad for Lou Ferrigno, who came across as just the nicest guy with a dad who was up there with any stage mom you'd see on Toddlers in Tiaras. I'd recommend it for any late pass dudes like myself who haven't seen it yet, though it was pretty much just an average film IMO.

    Obligatory: "Vince, tell me about the damn clique." I'd love it if they spent the interview downing Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPAs but Vince is probably as anti-carb as they come.

    Vampiro yelling "JESUS" at every spot is getting old. As is Striker's contrived turns of phrase. Allusions to the "temple" and its "believers" are just as bad as "WWE Universe."

    Thanks! I forgot about that and looked it up. How did they approach it in Arkham Origins? Just "strangely deserted" streets because it was Christmas Eve? I only played Asylum and City.
  25. Technico Support
    Does this game also have a contrived reason why there are no regular citizens in the city? I loved Arkham City but at some point they're going to have to stop with the "closed sandbox" approach. It's worse than GTA's "broken bridge" tactics. edit: sigh
