Curt McGirt

Maffew Botchamania made a video where he closed in on Ron's dread-horn, slowly faded in the Prodigy logo and started playing "Firestarter" on the audio

Glad somebody said it. Then again, trying not to dislocate your rotator cuff because you're sprinting 25-30 MPH at someone is a good thing.

Night Two of me paying cursory attention to Raw on Netflix on a separate tab on my computer while I do other stuff: - First I see there's a four way, then I turn back and there's ANOTHER four way. Said no thank you to both. - Caught RON KILLINGS hack his hair off to where there was, like, this dread-horn sticking out of the side of his head I really hope they don't try and crowbar this into a heel turn, just to fuck with people. "You want him back? Okay, but only how we want". It's WVWD (you know what that stands for). - Bayley, oofta... I will refrain from comment. - GUNTHER/Jey was fine I guess for a simple match with good psychology but man, Jey is just the most unconvincing pro wrestler to me. Big bright babyface with no offense at all/actual offense that is light as a feather, popular off a stupid one-word catchphrase, tag team wrestler who should have stayed that way, somehow a world champion. It sucks. Especially when Gunther is right there as his opponent who is pretty much everything I want to see in a champion. At least he won it back after THE WORLD'S LONGEST SLEEPER SEGMENT. Not spot, but segment, because that fucker went on forever. - Punk Proves He's A Wanker Part 37598087590 amuses me but I'm not gonna carry it like a heavy load or anything.

Oh fuck I forgot all about Slade, that dude is terrifying. If that shows up somewhere post it!

When I was a kid we went to Universal Studios and the highlight was the Hitchcock exhibit that year, which had the Bates Motel standup from Psycho, an optical illusion staircase descending for Vertigo, and a 3D segment in a theater where I saw the Mother Bates reveal for the first time ever. It concluded with a section that just had birds flying at the screen until one entirely blacked it out. Terrifying and awesome. Sadly, Jaws was out of order that year. I think I also got to be in the cast of Arcade that year? Nick filmed there, right? That had to be the place we went to with it. We also went to Disneyland once I think and it sucked, no memories of that shit. Parents didn't like it either. Anywho. Check THIS out. Quentin Tarantino's list of desired actors for Pulp Fiction, by role: Can you imagine Frank fuckin' Reynolds as Winston the Wolf? "You got a head minus a body in a car, take me to it" and then he starts playing with the head Can you also imagine Michael Madsen and Larry Fishburne leading the movie? Lili Taylor would have been a great Honey Bunny. A lot of the actors for Mia and Marcellus would have been interesting. But there are a lot of... humorous... candidates in there. He also has an elevated opinion of William Petersen that I do NOT share.

Yeah. It didn't help that Mark looked like he was stepping over his own dick out there all the time after he returned.

Just tell them Cody admitted it wasn't.

Well shit. Maybe that's the route to go then.

Happened to our dachshund too, man -- kidney failure. He was 14 and wasted away real fast, but wasn't wanting to eat up to that point. I feel for you. Mom doesn't want another dog. That bothers me. I mean, I understand her position, she doesn't want to have to deal with losing another one especially since they were so close (it was basically her dog; she was introduced to a litter and he walked out of the group right up to her) but it would help me out a lot mentally to have a pet in the house. Cats are out. I thought maybe a rabbit, but I don't think they live long. *shrug*

Drugs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvVorV0v7sc Today is a pretty good fucking day to post an album by a band named DESTRUXION AMERICA. This is some really good Espanol punk with super clanky up-front bass and the crudest, cheapest, most dire guitar sound you can imagine. Fast and frenzied then creepy-crawling its way out from under your porch to getcha. Great stuff, and again... perfect timing.

God that was a long review for The Big Racket; my apologies. Anyway, Colt .38 Special Squad was on again after it so I got to see the last quarter or so. To keep it short, Marcel Bofuzzi (the guy chased by Gene Hackman in The French Connection) is brooding cop chasing mad bomber (named -- guess what? The Marseillaise). Mad Bomber is Ivan Rassimov who I remember for playing the Jim Jones proxy in the delirious cannibal flick Eaten Alive. They keep leaving suitcases filled with dynamite around the city and blowing up innocent people so he can get a bunch of diamonds. Fair amount of suspense, downbeat brutality with the bombings, cops argue and panic a lot. I'd give it 3/5. Also watched The Alto Knights. Honestly, I wasn't feeling it at first but it got better and I ended up rather liking it by the end. De Niro being the two sides of one coin bickering with and second guessing each other was pretty fun down the stretch. They covered big events like the Kefauver Commission hearings and the meeting at Apalachin well, and those really haven't been given much cinematic coverage aside from the Godfather parallel in 2 for the former and that crappy David Arquette movie about the latter. Charmaine and Jackie Aprile from The Sopranos both show up as Vito's wife (who is like Charmaine also... bull-headed? There's another "B" word there I could use) and Albert Anastasia. The end is pretty good. Worth a watch.

I read a Cody quote from an interview where he admitted it wasn't a work and said "this is what we do, we heard the fans, that's what we're here for is to give the fans what they want" and I laughed and laughed.

Now THAT's what I call cosplay

CM Punk doing a bad version of a move? You don't say...

This will probably happen to a lot of people -- the first time I read the Mr. Iguana shirt I thought it said "Marijuana".

Oh god, I got another one, even better, from the promo He was rolling his head around doing this "either I am mocking you as stupid or I am having a very dumb looking orgasm" face and this is mid-roll

Okay, let me try this. Here's one from the moment after Fletcher yells (I swear this is as close as it gets) "YAKABAKABAYABAGA!!!" and tosses one of the Outrunners into the barrier: Ah ha, it worked! I just had to drop this on the Discord from my phone first. (This was also just after Tony calls Callis "a virus" which was a nice call-back.) Anyway, I tried to find the AWWWWWWW part to no avail, sorry. This'll have to do. EDIT: I just noticed the Outrunner's leg sticking up in the bottom of the frame. Awesome.

The end of Colt .38 Special Squad I thought I saw? It wasn't that movie -- it was the end of The Big Racket. This one is probably the contradictorally most pessimistic and grim but also funniest, and funnest of the polizio flicks I've seen on here. It's directed by the somewhat notorious Enzo G. Castellari, who also directed among others the solid spaghetti western Keoma with Franco Nero, the film originally named The Inglorious Bastards from which Tarantino stole his title, and infamously The Last Shark/Great White which was dropped from cinemas after the makers of Jaws sued the production successfully for plagiarism! Starring is the always good Fabio Testi and with a side part from Vincent Gardenia as comedy relief which he uses to nearly run away with the film. Basically, a consortium of regional mafiosi/racketeers are moving in on an unnamed Italian city (possibly Rome). Testi is a cop who runs afoul of his inept superiors, citizens who won't report for fear of reprisal, and a local mob that is not afraid to straight up organize a hit squad to massacre the cops. There's a lot of cruel stuff in this; a house torching, a pair of rapes (including a guy's teenage daughter), lots of beatings and shootings. It winds up to where Gardenia, working undercover for Testi, confirms the place of the big meeting of the bad guys and he collects a group of five who all have lost someone near and dear and want revenge to slaughter the whole bunch. Knockout of an ending. You can complain about the lack of morality (it was decried as "fascist" in a contemporary review) or lack of logic in some cases (it seems like a mid-level city but has no boss already extorting everyone?) but it is sensible and weary in its outlook on things when viewed through the eyes of the Years of Lead. Enzo does some neat camerawork and there's a cool soundtrack with some fuzz guitar in places and lots of frenetic drumming. The acting is pretty choice as well, and for action you can't get much better; all it's missing is a wild chase scene. Highest marks for one of these. EDIT: I realized I missed the very beginning after reading a review and I'm sure as hell glad I went back. Not only does it open with an orgy of anarchic destruction and a subsequent attempt to extort half the town, business by business; Testi then chases the sadistic gang to a hilltop meeting and they catch him in his car. They bust out the windows of the car with him inside and FLIP THE CAR DOWN THE HILL SIDE OVER SIDE with FABIO STILL BEHIND THE WHEEL. The camera is filming him during this, INSIDE THE CAR. I have no idea how they filmed it, or how Testi didn't end up really needing the cast he wears after that, if not multiple casts. Really need the story on that one.

His tailor has skin cancer, what can you do.

Couldn't they just put all these millions into putting the stars' voices over the OG Animal Farm animation and be done with it? Idiots.

Scuttlebutt is that M. Bison in the Street Fighter movie will be played by Awesome

Yeah. If Max doesn't do "the swim" in CMLL then Gable might here
