    The new AFI Top 100, coming June 20th on CBS

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but that's the official list, not something that I put together just for the hell of it. Since the entire top 100 is up for grabs, it's likely that the new top 100 list will look quite different this time around. It'll be interesting to see how things change ten years later. Here are a few more of the other films nominated this time around that didn't make the cut last time: -A Christmas Story -Groundhog Day -Halloween -Hoosiers -The King of Comedy And of those, Groundhog Day should be on the list in my opinion.

    Now that I think about it I'd say that the only reason that Léon isn't already on the list is because of the French ties, even though it's in English.

    If you ask me, it's a better film in every way. Then again, it's my favorite film so I might be a bit biased. If it was up to me Léon (The Professional) would be added to the AFI Top 100 as well.

    Well ESotSM damn well better make it. It would be a damn shame if BJM made it and not ESotSM. And yeah, I could see Modern Times being removed from the list since there's two other Chaplin flicks on the list, and this one is pretty far down at the bottom at #81.

    On Wikipedia it says that films are judged by the following criteria: 1. Feature-length: Narrative format typically over 60 minutes in length. 2. American film: English language, with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States. 3. Critical Recognition: Formal commendation in print. 4. Major Award Winner: Recognition from competitive events including awards from organizations in the film community and major film festivals. 5. Popularity Over Time: Including figures for box office adjusted for inflation, television broadcasts and syndication, and home video sales and rentals. 6. Historical Significance: A film's mark on the history of the moving image through technical innovation, visionary narrative devices or other groundbreaking achievements. 7. Cultural Impact: A film's mark on American society in matters of style and substance. Yeah, I know, Wikipedia, but there ya go. Because of the "Cultural Impact", I'd say that The Matrix is a given to make the list, as well as either Finding Nemo or Shrek.
  6. She's asking for $100,000 and then some. I don't think anything will come of it either, since surely there's footage of the "incident". Reports say that The Sandman has been on the best behavior of his career, so I highly doubt he would do anything like this on purpose in any way. The way the women states her case makes it sound like she thinks he did it all on purpose.

  8. Holy crap, that's great. That music instantly takes me back to when I first bought that game. I need a Bam Bam cartwheel now! I'll have to bust out that NES disc for the Dreamcast with all of the NES games on it and play this now.

    You know, if WWE played their cards right they could really get Cor Von over huge based on his finish alone.

    If you are talking about RVD as one of the top talents, it's more to punish RVD for leaving then it is to help build up Randy Orton. But hey if you rather watch RVD/Snitsky, then boycot the WWE. No matter what you think, RVD is a top talent in the eyes of the fans, in terms of their reaction to him. It would make far more sense to have Snitsky in the place of RVD right now as well. They've had Snitsky beating the ECW originals, and then RVD beat him by DQ, and then they just stopped it to stick Orton in the spot. With a rumor being that Snitsky might be a major player pretty soon, having him take out RVD would've made a lot of sense. I don't want to see RVD/Snitsky, I hate Snitsky, but it sure makes a lot more sense. With Orton, they're obviously building him up, for HHH's return, but they're still doing a lot of good for Orton in the meantime. He did what he did a while back, as well as everything else that he's been a part of, and then in just a matter of a week or two they have him take out HBK, one of the top talents in the company no matter how you look at it, and then have him destroy RVD as well, in a major angle. Randy Orton doesn't deserve all of this, even if it's just leading to him being destroyed by a returning HHH.
  12. Lesnar had hit it before when he was still in development. Angle was just WAY too far from the corner. Not only was Angle far away, but Lesnar was already very tired at that point in the match. When he did it in OVW I don't believe he has as long, and as rough matches as the one he had with Angle when he botched the SSP. Not to mention that I'm sure his nerves had a bit to do with it - there he was, in the main event of Wrestlemania, winning the match, beating Kurt Angle, at such an early stage of his young career.

    So how do you punish Orton? Why you have him destroy top talents, that's how!

    The Wonder Years

    I found this great example of how horrible replacement music will be if they decide to bring it to DVD. This first clip is "the first kiss" as we all know and love it, with "When a Man Loves a Woman": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV8dW_TU1d4 And this second one is the first part of a Wonder Years documentary (watch the entire thing sometime if you've never seen it). At the 8 minute mark in this video they show the same "first kiss" scene, but with replacement music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGqaE7laI7M

    Once again it's the women/kids vs. the guys in the dueling chants of "let's go Cena" and "Cena sucks".

    Heroes

    I didn't watch a single episode of Heroes as it aired this season, although I've downloaded each and every episode. The main reason is that I didn't want to start watching a show only to have it canceled, and as time went by and I started to notice how popular it was becoming and that it wasn't going to be canceled afterall, I decided to hold off on watching the episodes until the season was over so that I would have something to watch over the Summer. Well, I finally started watching the episodes on, I believe, Friday, and here it is Monday and I've watched every single episode of the season. When I started, I simply could not stop. Not even Lost does as good a job of making you look forward to the next episode, not even The Shield does it as great as Heroes did this season. So here I am, already without any new episodes of Heroes to watch. I understand the complaints about the finale, but I understand why they did it all. This season was only meant to build up all of the various characters, not to build to a huge finale. That might not make too much sense, but I have a feeling that this series is meant to build to the end of the series as a whole. The plot for this season was to introduce all of the characters, and to stop the destruction of New York. There most certainly was closure to this season, and it happened when they saved NY, when they saved the cheerleader to save the world. Now the stage is set for even larger battles, more power to be revealed. The best is most certainly yet to come. I have a feeling as the series continues, as seasons go by, it'll only get more and more epic. They couldn't, and they should've have, went totally all out in the very first season. The ending to this season was fitting for what this show seems to be all about at this point. Two of my favorite moments of the season both involved Mr. Bennet. The first was his goodbye to Claire a few episodes back, and the other was in the episode last week: "What am I thinking now Parkman?" - Thompson to Parkman "Your last thought!" *shoots him in the head two times*- Bennet to Thompson I can't wait for the second season!

    They should just get crazy tonight and not clean the ring to make things that much more interesting for the rest of the show.
