Have they cast for Flair yet? He'd probably be better as Flair, or even Lawler, than Hernandez.

Its not like they are completely faithful with their adaptations. Besides, it was a joke. Not a funny one but a joke nonetheless.

Looks like Daniel Craig's scrapped Dr Strange / Multiverse of Madness character, Balder the Brave, may be getting his own gig.
If it ends with him getting taken out with mistletoe then Craig will be approaching Sean Bean territory for dying onscreen.

I would never read that idiot's book but these nuggets keep popping up in my news feed. Bad enough that he wished death on Reeves and called Heath Ledger and River Phoenix geniuses merely so he could elevate himself by association, but then he had to try and embarrass Salma Hayek and Valerie Bertinelli. To paraphrase @The Natural, fuck Matthew Perry.

Rick Martel had a run in Portland. He could talk about Piper's crazy ass.

Eh, if the only qualifier for splatter horror is gore factor, then nearly all horror films are splatter horror. I tend to have more defined lines of demarcation.
Yes, zombie movies have a lot of gory effects in them, but they are much different than something like August Underground: Mordum, Guinea Pig / Flowers of Flesh & Blood, The Red Room, or Men Behind the Sun. For starters, not very many splatter horror films have the acidic critique of society in general that most zombie movies have. Most zombie movies are remarkably substantive while most splatter movies are not, IMO.
I also do not classify most giallo as splatter, because I think that does a disservice to the giallo genre. "Splatter" has a very negative connotation with me, so I tend to classify movies that are gory and violent for the sake of being gory and violent and also ones that I don't particularly care for as "splatter" for the most part, with Pieces and Dead Alive being notable exceptions.
I am a snob and an elitist. Yes, I am.
I'm pretty much in tune with all of this. It's not so much gore that I don't like but what is the purpose for it's presence. Gore in a war film? No problem. Gore in a TV show like Banshee? Thinking specifically of the Burton vs. Nola Longshadow fight, there is so much going on in that scene that the gore bits have a useful plot purpose. Giallos have a mystery element that makes the story engaging. It's fine not to like them but they're not just women getting slashed to death left and right. I also agree with your point about zombie films even though there are very few of those (aside from the comedic ones) that I care to watch. Any type of gore film with a heavy supernatural element is potentially something I can enjoy because of course there is going to be dire consequences for dealing with these forces. That's as old as storytelling, from Prometheus getting his liver eaten by an eagle to giants grinding human bones for bread. Some of the fairy-tales that were in the libraries of my youth were gory as hell.
But gore films where the sole purpose is to show you how awful human beings can be? You can keep all of that. I'm not interested in real-life serial killer stuff or torture porn or crazy fuckers putting limbs through meat grinders or anything like it.

Those pics have such a great DC Comics 70's horror book vibe that even if I wasn't already a Cage fan I'd be sold on this. Just take my wallet and all that other stuff.

I swear they better have an option for Punk to just go off on a rant against "create a wrestler Scott" provided Cabana is not in the game (he really shoud be)
If you successfully get Larry out of the room you unlock Cabana.

If the guy they're dealing with is missing a pinkie it goes to 70%.

They should delay the game and go back and add "Press Scrum" as a location for a Backstage Brawl kind of deal.

Yeah, I clicked on that and the first thing I see is some asshat blame her for it because she is a "female wrestler". Thoughts go out to Carmella and may "Donna Jo" soon learn the heartbreak of hemorrhoids.

I still refuse to see Mordum and whatever these other pictures are
I like that even Curt has a line he won't cross.
Goddamn this place, randomly deciding not to embed links.

Wow! Looked like he was about to rip his head off.

I mean, he probably isn't going to stick to that stance but it was a good line.

Fun fight but I had it 30-27 for Jacoby. Maybe you could give the 3rd to Khalil but that was a bad decision.

Sucks for Phil Hawes. Sucks even more that his opponent is the only one that showed any concern for his knee.

Damn, that was like watching your kid brother get his ass kicked after school.

The whole bit was to great. Colbert led a couple of kids (maybe 8-ish) through the "process" to come up with a "script" for a horror movie. Then they took that script and made a trailer out of it. Words cannot describe the thing, so see for yourself:
I was with them until Imagine Dragons.

Gangs was great but I've already forgotten like 70% of it. I might just wait for the whole series to finish before I attempt a re-watch. ,

That also reminds me of one to add to the previous list.... Cashiers du Cinemart.

The Maltese Falcon (41) is the GOAT remake. Didn't even know NOTLD had a remake. Will definitely have to check it out.
