  1. I am amused by the replay official using an Xbox One controller on the replay.
  2. To be honest, I haven't taken mine down either.
  3. As a Doctor Who fan, I'd take bad Who over most TV, but this sounds like they took late JNT-era Who and mixed it with Dracula 2000. I'll still watch it, though.
  4. Dear Red Sox, Please hire Curt Schilling as your new manager. Sincerely, Me
  5. Hopefully Manfred will send the Dodgers an arrangement from 1800flowers.com for the 2 straight years they were cheated. #notsponsored
  6. They sure have made a good point of making the once all powerful Galifreyans into a defenseless welp of a race.
  7. Fifteen years of mediocrity with the Predators. That's Trotz's legacy? He's a great coach, but he won't going into the HOF because of his Preds tenure. As I said it, was all due to Poile being a horrid GM.
  8. The Preds problem is David Poile, who has been able to cover for his ineptitude for years by just coasting on the good graces of Nashville sports fans. But winning, or almost winning, has brought in a new crowd that doesn't have the patience like coaches of yore could count on. The era of the Jeff Fisher and Barry Trotz being able to be mediocre and the fans goings "Aw, shucks. We're just glad to have a team." is over. But anyway, fuck the Preds.
  9. Might be the 2nd greatest now. Saints lobbying hard for a pushoff by Rudolph. Nah, it's over.
  10. With the nonstop stream of dreck that is legacy broadcast TV these days, it is impossible to know or have seen everything, but some of the big stuff that people eat up that I can't fathom includes: The Bachelor/Bachelorette Any show with "Real" or "Housewives" in the title Any show with "Ghost" or "Paranormal" in the title (I do make an exception for "Ghost Adventures" as I can still laugh at their brouchieness - that's a word I made up to describe bro-culture douches, feel free to use that but give proper credit.) Shows about inane jobs, i.e. Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch, Most Unhygienic Stripper Poles, etc... I don't believe in guilty pleasures, you enjoy whatever you choose with no shame, and I count these among my favorites: Botched - the plastic surgery guys from Beverly Hills. (Blurred boobs are better than no boobs at all) Dr Pimple Popper - having seen more than my share of videos like this on YouTube and experienced it in real life, it's nice to see a professional at work. Sister Wives - can't really explain why I like this show, I'm against religion/marriage in general but I eat this up. My wife does, too. BTW Does the original or the reboots of In Search Of... count?
  11. Is the Pluto TV app available where you live? If so there are MST3K and Rifftrax channels that run on there.
  12. How did Jeff Fisher never coach the Lions? Seems like a match made in hell.
  13. Does this finally mean the end of Coughlin's reign of error in the NFL? I do realize this is pro sports and once you're in you're in, but enough with this guy's bullshit.
  14. Saw GWAR in '95 with The Meatmen and another band opening. Meatmen were up to GWAR's level without the stage set, but Tesco Vee did have a sweet cow suit he wore.
  15. Let me throw in that people don't pay attention at games anymore. It's just another hangout spot for many.
  16. I'm waiting for the Nintendo Switch port.
  17. You mentioning Ganja & Hess, which is on Prime, reminded me that Amazon Prime members have a 50% off for 3 months promotion for a bunch of different streaming services including Shudder. It's supposedly only for new customers, but YMMV. I got the Shudder freeview a couple years back and never watched anything, so I can't comment either way. BTW, Ganja & Hess is a great flick.
  18. Too bad there's no deal for Outer Worlds on Black Friday. I have some Gamestop credit and don't relish the thought of giving them actual $$.
  19. Chris Carter is available for the broadcast booth. (And probably for the starting lineup if he has enough soft substance.)
  20. Read about his passing yesterday. Sad news, indeed. What a legacy he leaves, the first two Mercyful Fate and King Diamond albums are iconic (absolutely no slight to In The Shadows!) and will be remembered in metal history forever. R.I.P.
  21. Georges Melies created the genres of cinema I enjoy most.
  22. I recently revisited the Rob Zombie Halloween saga courtesy of the Blu-Ray set that came out a few years back. My entire purpose in viewing these films was to show my wife the "origin" of Michaels Myers. She loves the psychological examination of serial killers and this was as close as it was going to get. My theory is too much backstory can backfire easily. Originally I saw these two flicks on DVD shortly after the release of each. I'm not a fan of the original film, but the sequel has the white horse stuff that tickles me. The original Halloween 2 was a favorite of mine for many years and that may have been due to repeated viewings on old UHF stations. Zombie's part 2 pays slight homage to the original in the early sequence and then goes on to PTSD/WTF-land. I do love Zombie's penchant for getting genre veterans work, so I can't bad-mouth the stuff with actors like Ken Foree. I once heard/read that Rob Zombie writes white-trash like no one else, in this point I am inclined to agree. In the original John Carpenter's Halloween there's nothing to indicate that the Myers' household was anything more than mundane suburbia. But Zombie has to throw in all the skull-fucking dialog he can. The Zombie Halloween's are one case in which I think the Theatrical versions are superior, in that they are much tighter with the story and rein in some of Zombie's over-the-top indulgence. The ending to RZH2 is a great example of this with the removal of Hobo Michael's "Die!" line, Laurie going stabby, and her subsequent putdown. The YouTube channel Dead Meat has a good comparison videos between the Theatrical and Director's Cut of each film.
