Watching the UFC 172 Countdown and apparently Todd Grisham from ESPN and the WWE is an MMA expert
They just played off Machida vs. Davis as if Davis went in there and wrestled Machida to death. Sometimes, I can't even comprehend this editing.

I'm just saying that before the preemptive "X finally shows up to do something and doesn't appear for another three episodes".
I found her strangely fascinating in season two. Then she was reduced to staring at her estranged brother's severed genitalia. These storylines can't all be winners, I guess. -
Since they have to remind us about Sam and the Gilly girl...
Where the fuck is Yara? She set sail and was never held from again.

I'm realizing that I'm like, the only person that actually hated the movie.
I stand by my opinion.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
The whole meeting scene with Natasha towards the end kinda bothered me a lot.
She's like arrest us then. "We're the best people for the job" and walks out. Why wouldn't the council guy be like, "Bitch, you're destroying WHOLE cities. You're kicking people off roofs in broad daylight like you're in the Black Hand. We can't have this. What the fuck is wrong with you?"
The only possible explanation I have for you is that it is incredibly difficult to tell ScarJo "no, you can't do that"
"Wait....did you even catch the guy who did it?"
"Ah..no. BUT we did get the other guy who we was working for us and was Hydra the whole time."
"You're extremely bad at your job. You know that, right?"
"My outfit is extremely cute though."
S.H.I.E.L.D. protecting us from death and destruction by bringing us...death and destruction.
This universe is awful.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. It was average at best.

Yeah, the rape thing was awful. There's a quote from the director where he justifies it by saying it started out as rape but then it became consensual. Just....no. 1) It's out of character for Jaime to even get rapey. 2) Somebody needs to investigate that director.
I'm glad I am not the only one who felt the Jaime-Cersei scene was a little off kilter.
From the commentary track for Season 3, the bath scene with Jaime and Brienne was suppose to turn sexual and the director put the kabosh on that because it would have felt too inconsistent with the characters. Even Nikolaj and Gwendoline were like, "we like George R.R. Martin and all, but for the sake of God, everything doesn't have to be super creepy." They failed to do it with this scene. I didn't like it at all.

Two of the biggest names you listed were associated with wrestling. Ortiz got his shine off the first Shamrock fight after they built him up when they were on FSN. Lesnar's is self-explanatory.
I don't think they necessarily done a terrible job marketing the next generation, but they need to reduce their priorities. With the number of shows they're running in a given time period, one or two shows are going to take a nosedive either at the gate or somewhere else.
Ortiz, for example, only became successful because they shafted Liddell. Even though Liddell got the Belfort fight on FSN, he should have been fighting Tito much earlier than UFC 47. All their marketing was geared towards Ortiz vs._________. The stuff on Best Damn Sports Show was more effective than anything they did for Liddell before late 2006/early 2007. Liddell had to share the spotlight with Tito and Randy for the better part of two and a half years. Once the balance truly shifted to Chuck, it was right before he fought Ortiz again and Rampage. When Forrest beat Rampage, I think it threw the balance of popularity off wack in the LHW division because people clearly knew Forrest wasn't the guy. It's the whole pro wrestling view of things. Even though you have the title, the people don't have to accept you from a business standpoint. The same applies to anyone in a title eliminator. People don't legitimately see Travis Browne (and Werdum because he was out for 10 months) as this monster when they know Cain is the monster they bill him as.
In the LHW division, the UFC is in a tough spot where they have to hype Glover AND Gustafsson. I see fans bitching all the time on Twitter about UFC not hyping Gustafsson like Jon isn't fighting Glover in Baltimore. It's ridiculous. They tried to get something out of Gustafsson at the Abu Dhabi show when they interviewed him, and he had nothing to say. He had TWO shots (post fight after Manuwa and at Minotauro/Nelson) to say something meaningful to get people fired up and he blew them both. It ain't their fucking fault. It's his. After watching Hopkins last night, Zuffa needs to hire him to speak at the Fighter Summit on how to conduct an interview. Roughly 75% of the UFC guys and girls are tragedy on the mic.
But hey, if we're going by the Ortiz logic, the UFC should be only hyping Jones. However, we know that's stupid to do and a fallacy. The stuff that made those guys listed above stars isn't completely applicable to everyone today. There is no one formula which works everytime.

They went straight to Burn Notice on my affiliate. I guess people really love syndicated USA shows.

It's Yancy Medeiros that's replacing Bobby Green.

He got $20 million for Transcendence, a movie that might not eclipse $13 million it's first weekend domestically. Banging Amber Heard. What a wonderful life.

Bobby Green is out of his fight with Jim Miller at UFC 172. The UFC is looking for a replacement.

I think some of Alves' performance can be attributed to the fact he clearly isn't as yoked out like he was in 2008-2011. He fought a strong competitive fight for three rounds and didn't fade. That's impressive for someone who has been out for two years.

Random thoughts: Which actors do you think could pull off a "McConaughey" in the future? Who gets largely dismissed but does have some hidden talent?
I think Johnny Depp is someone who, if he focused on smaller films for 4-5 years, could reset his career beyond the makeup and costume persona he currently has.
Just based on the trailers for Transcendence, he may be legitimately half asleep and no one else on the cast knows it. We're a long way from Donnie Brasco Johnny Depp. It's over for him.
With McConaughey, if you put him in Reign of Fire now w/ the same character, it's still going to suck tremendously. Hell, most of the stuff he was awful in is films I'll never watch. He doesn't need to be reeled in with any of the projects he currently does. With Depp, he always will be in zany films with Helena Bonham Carter til he no longer can speak. He only gives a fuck in those movies.

To continue on your point in the MMA Talk thread, I would be more concerned losing a prospect like Neves to Bellator than someone like Michael Page. I was hyped on him when he had his first two fights in the UK, but that was under the circumstance of me thinking he would have progressively tougher fights. In his twenty six month career, he has five fights. That's a "I'm making above 25k to show and 25k to win in the UFC" schedule. If you're spending that much time on the shelf at his age, it's not going to get better as you get older.

He isn't on my list, but Nic Cage just tried to do his own version of Mud with Joe (which has gotten good reviews it seems). I fear that a lot of people are going to try to prove their versatility and fail miserably in the long run. There are several factors that went his success. Hell, look at Woody. He belongs in gritty, underworld type stuff. The writing was great in True Detective, and he pulled it off. In something like Out of the Furnace, the writing was middling and his performance suffered because of it. Another person can pull it off but you need all the right pieces to fall into place.

Should probably be the DC thread, but I saw that the UK might see it on 4/29. WHY MUST THEY GET STUFF BEFORE WE DO?!?!

BTW, Du Pont held Meltzer's wrestling buddy Dan Chaid at gunpoint. The guy was batshit insane.

She was hot in The Counselor and kinda made up for Toby Kebbell doing the most ridiculous British-to-Southern accent since Richard Burton in The Klansman. He didn't even have the drunk off his ass excuse. Anyway, I think the wild wigs may be a little off putting for her facial structure. Headey and Clarke look like completely different people without them too.

Quick Google search shows that he was probably unhappy about WSOF changing his base pay. It looks like they were resolved.

She totally paved the way for Iliza Shlesinger and Amy Shumer. Maybe looking like Richard Moll is sexy in some circles.
Speaking of Night Court and female standups, the fact that Marsha Warfield at one point was semi-attractive on the Richard Pryor Show scares me a little. I'm glad that was way before my time. Because when she made it big, she did not look this:

I dunno how they did it, but the one girl in the whorehouse had a deeper voice than Osha. Do women in England start smoking at five? Her voice alarmed me.
