    Doc Holiday from TOMBSTONE. Obviously. Ogami Itto from the LONE WOLF AND CUB series and the Sanjuro character from YOJIMBO and SANJURO.

    Well KISS KISS BANG BANG is a pretty good film, but Gay Perry should basically have a James Bond-esque film series of his own.

    Watched SPECTRE last night. Now I know why I never heard anything about the latest Bond film--it was pretty dull and ultimately disappointing. Not a fan of Mendes' Bond work.

    YES. This is the preeminent fatso/lumpy dude match of our generation. Perhaps any generation. I mean, I've only watched one televised wrestling match this year, and it's definitely the best televised wrestling match I watched in 2016. Hama should be in the WWE. There is no one who can't get behind a giant fat dude working it like that. He is like the best possible version of Rikishi. They might we concerned that his heart would explode in the ring, though. That'd probably be bad publicity.

    No idea. Puroresu Spirit also labels Seiya Sanada as S.P.E.--can't figure out what that is either.

    The CC blocks look fun and indy-tastic (credit puroresuspirit.net): Was hoping for Okabayashi (and Ishikawa and Hoshitango), but Sekimoto, Mashimo, and Sai are all solid (last I checked). Glad to see Doering back. I haven't seen Super Tiger or Kamitani--any good? Not sure which looks better--this, or BJ's "strong climb" singles tournament.

    Balls. So we're calling those 2016, then? Everyone who likes horror films should see GREEN ROOM. That shit was everything I wanted it to be and more.
  8. Control
    THE GREEN ROOM and THE LOBSTER are both probably top five for me. Did anyone else see these? I caught them at a film festival, so they might just be getting wide release this year.

    Awesome. Kharitanov is a favourite of mine, and I'm happy to see him in an organization where he could make a run at the title.

    I wonder why Barry Pepper doesn't get more (and better) work.
  12. Control
    Origin might be SANJURO (1962). Probably most associated with the LONE WOLF AND CUB series.

    The Sound and The Fury is a walk in the park compared to Absalom Absalom. I'd suggest As I Lay Dying, personally. Shorter, with a very compelling, action-oriented plot, but still rife with Faulkner's stream of conciousness style.

    Why is everybody watching Meek's Cutoff?
  15. Control
    Boo! I'm hoping for five seasons of Capaldi.
  16. Control
    I don't understand how any of y'all could be rooting against Werdum.

    I think that MEEK'S CUTOFF really suffers from having come out just after A SERIOUS MAN, since both are so thematically fixated on uncertainty (but A SERIOUS MAN does it much better). Even the open-ended ending of MEEK'S CUTOFF is somewhat comparable to the ending of the Coen Bros' flick.

    I'm reading Warlock by Oakley Hall. It's a Western loosely based on the Tombstone/Earp story. Like most people who come to it these days, I heard about it because Thomas Pynchon is a superfan who blurbs on the back cover. Only about 50 pages in (out of 450), but so far it's pretty engrossing.
  19. Control
    There is no title match in recent memory that I've anticipated as eagerly as Yuji Okabayashi vs. Ryota Hama. Sack of potatoes vs Big Baby.
  20. Control
    FURY ROAD has 10 nominations. Swell.
  21. Control
    Didn't Sato only start in like November?
  22. Control
    Dang. The decision match is Miyahara vs Zeus. I'm guessing Miyahara--don't see them putting the major tag and singles titles on Zeus.
  23. Control
    Apparently Takumi Soya is returning to AJPW. I know that a couple of posters around here were fans.
  24. Control
    That's disappointing. I asked for (and received) the Ligotti for Xmas, based on several recommendations. That's despite the fact that Id read one or two of his stories before and found them to be a bit derivative. Hopefully I'll get more out of the rest of it.

    My wife bought me a PS4. Haven't had a game system since PS2. A little overwhelmed.
