Well, this isn't a tragedy or anything, just something I'm looking for input on. After living in an apartment for 9 years, I'm finally moving back into a house. (Renting) I'm thrilled about it, but wondering the best way to make the transition as easy as possible on my cat. She's 9+ years old. We (me and the cat) moved into this apartment when she was about 6 months old, so she's lived most of her life here. She's a strictly indoor cat, never goes outside, period. When I occasionally go visit my mom a couple hours away and stay for 2 or 3 days, the cat goes with me. She likes my mom a lot (and vice versa) and the first time I went there with her, she was weirded out for a day or two, but now when she goes there she acts like she owns the place. Luckily the house is owned by a friend of mine, and she's letting me move in slowly over the month rather than one big moving day. (I officially live there starting December 1st.) So I have already planned that for the final move, when there will be people in and out of here, I'll take Monkey to my mom's for a couple days so she won't be completely stressed out, or won't be scared and run out or anything. Once I'm moved in I'm going to go pick up Monkey, along with my mom, and bring them both to the house. I'll have my mom stay for about a week (she's retired and widowed and she'll love getting away for a week) so Monkey won't feel so alone in the house while I'm at work. But I'm just looking to figure out how to overall make it easiest for her. I know they advise to introduce them to one room at a time, but the layout of the main floor of the house is pretty open, so that won't be practical. I'll be using the finished basement as a bedroom, but I don't want to leave her shut in down there, as she'll have real separation anxiety. (She loves being near me when I'm home.) She's also not used to living in a place with two levels. I'll be keeping the litterbox in the laundry room in the basement, so I'll obviously show her that first thing. I'll be taking some of my furniture from the apartment, so that'll have familiar scents on it. Long story short, any advice on moving with a cat?

I actually randomly met and hung out with him over the weekend in Louisville and was legit shocked at how big he is in person.

It is well established both kayfabe-wise and in reality that Foley is not physically able to interfere in situations anymore. (Mania was a rare exception.) So what exactly was Foley supposed to do other than stand there with his thumb up his ass, so to speak?

Re: Young and Backlund, more than anything I'm curious as to why they do vignettes but never actually seem to be in the same room with each other. It's just awkward and weird. Makes me wonder if Backlund is ever actually going to appear at ringside with him. If it doesn't just get dropped altogether.

Just met her a month ago. I was working as a vendor at a horror convention and her table was set up a few feet from ours. All weekend she was so personable to everyone, and she always had a good steady line of people. People seemed to be really pleased when they came away from meeting her. On the last day when things were winding down at the end of the day, I went over and talked to her. We had a really nice conversation. She couldn't have been sweeter or more down to earth when I talked to her. It really bums me out to hear about this.

Warehouse manager/fleet manager for a cable TV contractor.

David Bowie and Alan Rickman say otherwise.

Neve's way better than Denise. But I think the difference is, Campbell has been perfectly happy pursuing an artist's life in indy films and stage theater. She made her money early from doing six years on Party of Five, and after that show wrapped up she's been living in England ever since then. Seems like she just doesn't have any inclination to play Hollywood's games. She's been living in England? She hasn't been working in England much. There was that one movie where she played the Queen (it was a parody of American War films that have the USA taking all the credit for winning WW2. Christian Slater was in it), but I don't think I've seen her in anything else. Although a lot of British films that get made don't actually come out... ever, there's investment scams and stuff going on. Are people forgetting the Scream movies? I'm sure she made a buck or two from those.

Being dead for 8 years is the perfect way to stay out of the spotlight to plan a surprise attack.

After a stupidly busy several weeks, and more busy life ahead, I took a Sunday off from leaving the house and just lounged all day. And one of the things I did with that time was binge watch all 10 episodes. Needless to say, I liked it. It does a great job of being funny and heartfelt and presenting a lot of really likable characters.

Well, one thing Jupiter Ascending and I have in common is that when I was done watching it, I was luckily able to forget most of the scenes as well. Jeez, what a terrible movie. When even looking at Mila Kunis becomes boring, you know you've pulled off a dull mess of a movie.

Is there a way to post pictures from a cell phone in here? (Please forgive my ignorance) I made a road trip to my mom's house and was looking through a WWF magazine I had in a box of stuff I still have here, and there are a couple pictures I'd really like to share. Haha However my mom's life is devoid of technology, so no computer, scanner, etc.

I once got hit in the head during a match with a hardback copy of Communion by Whitley Strieber. That's all I've got. Other than agreeing with the previously expressed sentiment about seeing Sting in the main event of Monday Night Raw. I windered if the novelty of him being in WWE would wear off for me but so far it hasn't. I just loved seeing him wrestle on Raw.

Mr. T. is probably the best performance in that movie, and he isn't as good anywhere else. I was having a conversation with a friend about what sports movie scene would have been the biggest story in real life. My pick is when Mr. T. insulting Rocky's wife at his statue dedication. Such a great scene. And when I saw trailers for Southpaw, I was kind of annoyed that they kind of seem to do a very similar scene. I can't speak completely on it since I haven't actually seen Southpaw, but the basic idea of it seemed to be there and it bugged me.

Roger Ruffen. He spent many years wrestling in different areas, and refereeing for the WWF. He runs a promotion in Cincinnati called the NWF and has a training school. He's one of the few trainers around here that will give you proper training and had credibility. I know there aren't a lot of Abyss fans here, but he trained him, Wildcat Chris Harris, Karl Anderson, and former diva Jillian. Real solid guy and did a lot for me during the time I worked for him. Another notable place he was seen on TV.....when Savage got bit by the cobra, he was the ref that held Savage's leg when he was trying to get in the ring.

The Archie series has done some weird stuff. A crossover with KISS....which isn't too hard to believe since there was money to be made by Gene. But there was also an Archie crossover with The Punisher. The Punisher showed up in Riverdale looking for a criminal who happened to look like Archie. I actually have a tattoo of the logo from the book, which is the Punisher logo with Archie's face.

You review is nicer than mine. I came here to say..... If you were curious to know if The Gallows is a piece of shit.......well, yes, The Gallows is a piece of shit.

Even though I have been a wrestling fan since I was about 5 years old or so, my parents never took me to any live shows, and as a result I didn't see wrestling in person until I was in college, around 1995 or 96, which would put me at 20 or 21. It was an IWA Mid South show that me and a few of my college friends went to. After that I would go on to go to TONS of indy shows, WWE, ECW, TNA, etc. Then I got into the business in 2004. My point? That very first live wrestling show I ever attended.....the main event was Madman Pondo vs Ox Harley in a thumbtack deathmatch. And just two weeks ago, at the age of 40, I wrestled (and pinned) Madman Pondo in a bloodbath of a match to retain my LSC Hardcore Championship. It was an awesome and humbling night for me. I've known him for a few years, but that was the first time I got to work with him, and he went out of his way to be gracious and make me look good. And as a footnote, we have a rematch next month.

I have a picture of me and Chris Benoit and Nancy together. I'm standing between them. She is smiling, I'm sort of smiling, he looks like Chris Benoit. It really weirds me out to this day to look at it.

This is actually the one team (even more than Shire's Flyers, Orton/Slater, and Flair/Valentine) that I wish we had more (see: some) footage of: Harley was not only born old, but he was also born with those tattoos.

I distinctly remember a gimmick where if you saw the movie twice in the opening weekend and sent in the ticket stubs, you would get an autographed Jay and Silent Bob Strike back poster. Then a lot of people sent them in (including myself), nobody got posters, fans went nuts complaining about it on the message boards of the View Askew page, and it made everyone bicker a lot and to the best of my knowledge, it never got resolved and no one got the prize they were promised.

That is some generic-looking tripe. It's Hannah Montana meets The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants. Way too sanitized and dull. Looks like their strategy for it was "Hey, let's eliminate everything that made the series fun and charming and kitschy, thus destroying the nostalgia that will make older fans see it." That's certainly a.....move of some sort.

Hey homie you like what you like...plus you make me feel just a little less weird about being a near-fortysomething Degrassi fan... I'm 40, and I saw The Duff in the theater. (In all fairness, I have a Movie Pass card, and will see damn near anything in the theater, as the more I see, the better value I get.) And honestly, it's worth watching. It's funny and pretty smart, with the right cliches in the right places without being TOO cliche, if that makes sense. And Mae Whitman is good, as always. They do a decent job of covering DUFF being a blanket term, and Mae's character not being unattractive, rather just having a personality that puts her kind of on the fringe. And yeah, being a 40 year old man sitting in the theater watching it in the middle of the afternoon might have looked odd. But I stopped giving many fucks about that sort of thing ages ago. I watch stuff. It is what it is. I'm glad the movie pass makes me willing to see whatever because otherwise I may not have ever seen it.

I bought this from the crew who made it.....saw them set up at a horror convention. I don't want to talk bad about it overall because they were SUPER nice people and really happy to be getting this film out there. But it's basically a loose plot that's secondary to repeated scenes of extreme gore and disturbing moments. And that's fine if you're into that. I'm not AGAINST that myself. I just hoped for more of a movie rather than just disturbing gore over and over. I didn't hate it, but I watched it, and can't imagine sitting down and putting it back in to watch it again. It just isn't interesting enough for repeated viewings, for my taste.

Actually these Chris Farley stories are just horribly depressing.
