Over tanning, most likely.

They definitely didn't get rid of it quick. It lasted all the way until Summerslam, well after the actual Gulf War had fucking ended.

Hey, Disney has to put out one big live action bomb every year in order to justify a few dozen "this is why they bought Marvel and Lucasfilm" blog entries.

I was going to respond to this, but then I saw that Knicks .gif and can't stop laughing and just don't care if Lebron is MVP or not anymore.

Well, when everyone else says no...

My four year old nephew is a big ninja turtles fan, although I'm not sure if he's watching the current show, or if my sister is just feeding him a steady diet of the 80's cartoon.

Ikufube is the unsung hero of the first batch of Godzilla films for sure.

I like the American cut fine. Fell in love with that version of the movie. But in direct comparison? Not even fucking close.

Plus you have to figure voter fatigue might be setting in on Lebron.

Non Sunday is Taboo Tuesday.

Not a fan of that match, but Rock/Austin, Angle/Lesnar (botched finish aside), and Triple H/Booker T (stupid delay before the cover aside) are all really good.

Obviously, I'd move Stampede 94 up, but that top 6 is fucking great.

Yeah. Hitman, sharpshooter, makes sense. Also the double meaning of Excellence of Execution.

TD damn sure would get my vote. One of the best three year stretches in NFL history.

Flying goat is Bryan's dive to the floor, I think.

When was the last time the rumble winner used to elevate a guy that wasn't already main event talent?

Just fucking cold here again. Light snow tomorrow during the day, possibly real snow tomorrow night.

So not for another 20 years?

My two answers: Black Sabbath (Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol 4) The Beatles (Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) Okay, neither are overly bold choices (In both cases, the hardest part was picked which exact three to go with) Hard for me to leave out Iron Maiden's first three with Bruce, or Metallica's Ride/Master/Justice stretch, but I think both are below those three above, so... yeah.

You take the job that will keep you employed.

And now I have Lita Ford in my head...

So, Godzilla/Gojira. The film that basically launched the daikaiju eiga in Japan. A film with more sequels than Bond and more reboots than DC comics. A film that, for 50 years, was viewed as "fun, with some interesting subtext" in the western world, due to the significantly different American film Godzilla: King of the Monsters. A film that, when it was finally released uncut in America we suddenly realized was a Goddamned masterpiece about the national psyche of Japan less than a decade after the bombs, and less than a year after the Lucky Dragon incident. One of the starkest films I've ever seen, I honestly wonder if pre-9/11 America could have even understood it. That "interesting subtext" was suddenly, quite obviously, just text once we saw it without Raymond Burr. It's directly remarked upon in the film. And it boils down to such a potent moral dilemma as the film's tension builds. One that is simply not comprehensible without having some basic understanding of the culture it came from. To use the Oxygen Destroyer is to show the world of a weapon on par with the atomic bomb. To not use it is to allow a monster that is just a destructive to continue to destroy Japan again. The decision is maybe the only one that could be made. Brilliantly directed, incredibly scored... It's not without it's flaws (the handpuppet that stands in for the Big G in head shots is A.) Significantly different looking than the rubber suit and B.) Horrific looking and blatantly a hand puppet) but as a total experience, it's not just a good movie. It's not even merely a great movie. It's a Goddamned Masterpiece.

I believe Bill's explanation, while finding it amazing that they were that dumb at the same time.

At least it's not sweater vest.

That was the most predictable thing going into this season. 2 time defending champs seem to always coast the next year.
