I remember the initial hate when the images for BaTB were posted but then, after the first episode found it hard to hate because it was so fun.You crazy if your sleeping on Brave and the Bold.

Has anyone seen Scott Hall's son wrestle?
From about 2 weeks ago vs Adrian Hawkins from Anarchy Wrestling from Georgia
EDIT: I thought it would embed, per RIPPA's instructions, but alas, that's the link to the video

I think Hulks and Stings contract are with Spike. I remember reading they were splitting the bill of Stings contract with TNA

VERY disappointed with how Harbinger Wars ended. Basically I just thought, that's it? War really never ends? Ugh!

Not reading Justice League Dark on a regular basis, but I did enjoy the issue as part of the Trinity War crossover. I actually am enjoying the crossover as a whole. Especially their portrayal of how everyone treats Superman. Well respected and given the benefit of a doubt among his fellow metas, but not as trusted to the goverment employees like Waller. IMO, especially in the New 52, it makes senese.

Loved him in Snatch. Suprised to see he was the voice of Wildkat in Justice League Unlimited. He was great in that as well. He will be missed

I went to a friend of a friend's house to watch MITB the other week, place was packed. The guy I was sitting next to wasn't on the 'still real to me' level, but it was fascinating to me how he still reacted in a very legit and visceral way to what was going on.
Like, AJ heads to the ring during Dolph's match:
My brain: Oh! It's AJ. Well, she's gonna cost him the match somehow. I wish they weren't doing this, I like them as a trio, even if there is an odd heel/face dynamic. Well, here goes....
This guy: "Wait, what? What is... She shouldn't even be in the ring! GET HER OUT OF THE RING SHE'S JUST A VALET RIGHT NOW. What the hell is she even fucking thinking?! DAMN IT why is she such a spotlight hog?!"
It was awesome. Whole night was like that. Kayfabe is still alive and well in the way that this guy processes a thing that he knows, somewhere in his brain, his fake.
I like stories like these. Sure we probably do know better and whatnot, but it makes watching the shows that much more fun when you watch with a fan like that. For me, it helps to turn my brain off and just enjoy the show with them. Watching with kids can be the same way, see them get into it and then you bask in their joy and you enjoy a parent kid moment

Missed the second episode of The Bridge, is it worth going on the iTunes and continuing to get or no?
-
I wonder what commission is worse, Missouri or Alabama. They just passed something I believe that gets rid of the majority of indie promotions and people were pissed about that.
-
As far as I know, no. But Shaolin Soccer is and its fantasticIs Kung Fu Hustle on Netflix? I'd recommend that as well.
-
Justice League War is the next DCAU movie, based on the first arc of the New 52 Justice League. Jason O'Mara voicing Batman and Shemar Moore voicing Cyborg so far.

I went to Dragon Con one year, I had a great time, but it was too much for me.
Though I do love the exclusive toys that Mattel are doing this year at SDCC and I wish I could be there for the Robotech panel. But it probably is too big it'll take too much effort to get to all that great stuff.

Lost in the shuffle, I noticed they added New Girl, so far, I like it.
Sad though, the WWE docs, the Spectular Legacy of the AWA and Triumph and Tragedy of World Class are no longer on there.
-
I tried to take an interest in Smallville, but the only episodes I liked were the introduction of Impulse and the Justice Society episodes. From what I understand, the Society ep is one of the highest rated of the series yet they seem to be adamant that costumes don't draw, which imo is a disappointment.

Pitch Perfect is on HBO right now. I'm actually enjoying it. Now I see the deal with Anna Kendrick
-
Yeah, outside of the 1020's, the newer Lumias aren't as thick, but to get wireless charging you have to purchase an add-on, despite having NFC. Personally I love the 920, I don't mind the thickness, though having to handle other people's phones is weird since that thing is so thick compared to others.

Wimbledon 2013 will go down as a memorable and historic one.
What a wild tournament it was! But good on Murray for finally winning at Wimbledon. Glad to see him win it

Since the crash, Nokia has announced the Lumia 1020 which is going to have a camera that has 41MP on it. Other that that, specs are similar to the other Lumia phones.

I'm still enjoying Earth-2, at least until Robinson leaves.

Thanks for all of your hard work!
Let me second this. Thank you Rippa and DEAN for getting this place back up and running

Personally, I've always felt this board was well moderated compared to other boards. Sure there's clowning around and busting chops like friends do, but the mean spirited stuff isn't too bad here, which is why I've always loved it here, I felt I could come and discuss and enjoy similar things here with my fellow posters
