What era of Descendents is that from? I somehow missed it back in the day. Liveage was recorded during their final tour (I think) and released in 1988, pretty much signalling their final transition from the Descendents to All. They do a great off-the-cuff version of "Allogistics". They also have another live album with more of their "less-popular" songs called Hallraker. Included are "Kabuki Girl", "Iceman" and "Jealous of the World". If you're a true fan, definitely pick this up as well.

Liveage - Descendents

notJames Not Interested In Daredevil 2, either.

So you'd boo Yokozuna then since he didn't wear the belt around his waist? Of course. He was a heel! Seriously, if you're too big to wear the belt, they should tie the ends together with shoelaces or something. Or have an XXXL belt handy just in case big fatties like Vader or Rikishi or Stephanie win the championship.

I loathe how Buh Buh Ray heaves his title belt into the ring when he makes his entrance. It's a sacrilege to the great teams who have worn that belt with honour. Same goes for all the other monkeys who don't wear the belt around the waists like they're supposed to. They're belts! Duh!

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but now that Mizark sports dreads, he looks a lot like Predator.

Great film. Too bad the commentary by Slater and Arquette is a heaping plate of stupid.

I feel no pity for anyone who wastes their money on a shitstorm like Gigli.

The New Foundation (Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart) used to use it as a finisher too, I think.

What would be great about it?

Did MLK Jr's family ever sue U2 for referencing him in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"? Especially for getting the time of death wrong?

Not to derail the thread, but Coffey's banner made me realize that Raven looks like one of the Headbangers now. Right down to the face paint. Thrasher, I believe, did the triangles under the eyes, no? Sorry if this has already been stated before.

47 responses and not one mention of Steve Martin. For shame. Admittedly, he's more of the cerebral wit lately, but how can you deny the genius of such films as The Jerk and Dead Men Wear No Plaid? And what's more, he can actually shift gears and play slightly more serious (less goofy) roles, like his turns in Parenthood and L.A. Story. I liken Martin to Bill Murray, who also started out with the usual comedic schtick and then reinvented himself through more dramatic turns in Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore and Lost in Translation. I would have mentioned Robin Williams in this vein, especially when he did The World According to Garp, but his coked-up off-the-cuff stand-up routine leaves an awful taste in my mouth. As for over-rated/unfunny, I'd say Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Chris Tucker, and Martin Lawrence get my votes. Sandler gets a slight pass for his wonderful performance in Punch-Drunk Love. He could really redeem himself if he had more varied performances like that. And posthumous props to the late great Benny Hill. His show was the only thing my dad and I could agree on when I was growing up. Absolute genius.

Psst... OldSchool... it's a South Park reference. Just thought you'd like to know.

Oh, no. I still think she's fat. But I never said that was a bad thing. The inference came from you guys. That's what made my scheme that much more sacrelicious. Cold and calculated, that's me. And yes, Olive Oyl makes me weak in the knees. Meow!

Somehow, I knew using the word "fat" would get a reaction. Tee hee. And I feel silly for not having seen the Orbit gum part of Downhome's original post. I'm not so fabulous, I guess.

I like the girl in that gum commercial who always says "Fabulous!" Not because she's hot or anything. I just like the way she says it. And the fat chick from that John Laroquette sitcom is annoying and ugly.

From what I gathered, and from what I understand about the characters, Nolte was trying to absorb the Hulk's power, while the Hulk, who draws his superhuman strength from... somewhere... was fighting him the whole way. So you've got the two of them sucking energy from all around them (that little bit about "absorbing all the ambient energy"), which caused the water molecules to stop moving, thereby lowering the temperature enough to freeze it. I think. Personally, I wouldn't mind a sequel, as long as a) the main cast returns, b) the Hulk dies tragically, thus ending the whole story, and c) M. Night Shamalamadingdong doesn't come anywhere near it.

No Nash should mean No Nash. Period.

Maybe they'll have the first hour be a complete video retrospective. No live matches, just highlights from the past 19 WMs, kinda like what they did with that 8-hour marathon show (WM2000?). I'd be okay with that.

Stuff like this happens all the time. I think it's called the Florence Nightengale syndrome or something like that. You comfort someone who lost somebody (either through death or separation), you spend time with them, share intimate moments, and suddenly, those platonic intentions grow into something deeper and inexplicable. Nurses seem to fall prey to that quite often. I just hope it's not one of the fleeting things that happen when people are thrown into emotionally heavy situations but eventually those feelings subside for one and not the other. Take theatre folk for example. I've seen countless cast members hook up with each other during production of a show. Then, once the show's done and all those nights of rehearsals and closeness are over, the couple drift apart and end up involved with others just as quickly.

Sad, isn't it?

All things should end in threes. Trilogy is such a beautiful word. In some instances, it's better to end a story on a lesser third film than to screw the pooch on an even worse fourth film. And with Ford being a near-senior citizen, won't that limit his ability to do things like run away from giant rolling boulders, which lends a lot to his character's appeal?

Like I said before, Trish is arguably the most recognizable and marketable of the RAW divas. She probably gets more pops from the crowd than any of the other women (and a lot of the men). The fans aren't going to cheer for her more simply because she's dating Jericho. By that account, Test should be over like gangbusters, if the pops for Stacy are any indication. But it doesn't work that way. And how does that "rub" from Jericho transfer to the other women? Jericho can't date all of them. As for the comparisons between the genders, personally I think the women are far more entertaining than some of the men, but public perception has always been that women wrestlers are a "sideshow attraction" and the men wrestlers are the "main event". Even though they've made a lot of strides to promote the legitimacy of the women's division, it will take better booking, more match time, and an announce team that focuses on the athleticism and not the sensuality of the ladies to fight the legacy of inequality that has ingrained itself in the sport's history. And forget that Chyna shit. She was a terrible worker. She was only pushed because she was a sideshow attraction.

If you're talking about a DVD set marketed by Vince and Co.: 1. You'd maybe get two discs for a British Bulldogs retrospective. One would highlight some of their individual accolades, while the other would center around ther tag work. As much as Billington was a god in the ring, not many casual WW_ fans are aware of his singles work as much as that of Davey Boy, especially in light of the latter's recent death. 2. Bret could easily get three discs. His greatest matches alone could fill six hours of DVD time, not to mention a whole block dedicated to the SurSer97 debacle. You have to remember that you're filling each disc with close to three hours of material. Some wrestlers, though beloved by some, don't have as much in their resume to fill one disc, let alone three.
