    Hogan/Warrior

    Hogan/Warrior is a master example of pacing in a match, knowing when to do the spots. There was a match in Japan that Hogan had v Muta that was much lauded. I watched it, Oooh! Hogan busted out a Fujiwara armbar and an enziguiri! Match sucked. I don't think anyone is calling Hogan/Warrior a five-star classic, but it's a good, solid match, that had tons of heat and a clean, unpredictable finish.

    Miracleman Alan Moore Run

    Yeah, I think in the pantheon of comic book villains, Kid Miracleman Has to rank up there with the greats like the Joker and Dr. Doom, even though he only had a few issues. He's beastly. They should have had HIM kill Superman. (Just because I recently read Death of Superman, and it was, well, lame.)

    Sin City Comic-Con Footage

    This movie looks so incredibly awesome. I thought the all computer backdrops of 'sky captain' were a little off-putting, since it made it seem like it was in a really austere world, which doesn't really jibe with nostalgia, but it definitely enhances the uber-noirish nature of Sin City. This is going to be so goddamn cool. I can't believe there's not more hype over it. It better be a giant fucking hit, so Roboerto can make 2 or 3 of these.

    Greg the Bunny is back??

    Seth Green is also a very, very funny guy. His scenes in Austin Powers 3 (along with Micahel Caine) MADE the movie for me.

    The Watchmen

    I always read it as the Comedian not being interrupted before he could start. Hooded's reaction to Spectre I is really fucked up and weird in that scene. I would infer that although he recognizes that Comedian was at fault in this scene, that Spectre one probably HAD been flirting with Comedian, and shown an interest in him. And in those times, that was probably looked down upon almost as much as what Comedian tried to do. Or he could just find the female form repulsive, being gay and all, or a combination of the two. He's one character I wish they had given a little more attention to.

    Canada says no to missle defense scheme

    Unfortunately Doctor Manhattan was said to only have been able to stop about 70% of them. RRARRNGH!

    I'm simply stunned by the lack of success. How long have we had ICBM's? And after 20 years we haven't had any results from this program.

    Ann Coulter goes batshit on Fox News

    The best Ann Coulter interview was when Chris Matthews asked her point blank: "So you think all liberals are traitors?" She says so like every third column and had a book called "Treason" for God's sake and she just pussed out and played semantic games and wouldn't answer. Then he asked her about the comment she made about the only difference between the terrorists of today and (some other group) is you can smell the terrorists if they sit next to you on the bus. He asked her point blank: "are you implying that all middle-eastern people are smelly?" She completely looked like she had shit her pants and just started stammering nonsense. It's all besides the point. Her collumns play to a certain audience, and that audience is so into self-congratulatory mudslinging, they don't care if she can debate or back up her inflammatory comments at all.

    Better as face or heel?

    It's sort of a hard thing to judge. For example, when Rock was a heel, he was so cool the crowd was DYING for him to turn, and would give him big 'cool heel' pops, until he insulted the home team (why does this still work? Another topic for another time) Once he turned, after a while the crowd would turn on him, though. See: WMs XVII and XVIII. So how do you judge what he's better at doing?

    There wouldn't be anymore wars. That's for sure. All you need is a mech that tromps around and does a little tyranasaurus scream and BOOM! Enemy insurgents become enemy incontinents. Everyone cleans up, we have a laugh and some cocoa, and David Hayter reads a half-hour novella on the adverse side-effects of nuclear war.

    Rock and fuckin' Roll.

    Well, going by that definition, I just wanted to start a discussion about 'rock'. If you subcategorize everything, you'd probably only be left with the Stones and the Kinks as 'rock and roll'. (I like them too.) I would say the only band I included that I wouldn't categorize as 'rock' is Bjork. That was a bad decision.
  12. I think 'What?' actually caught on way TOO well.

    We're all fucked once Metal gear Rex comes out anyway. That thing fires stealth nukes. We should be spending money on mechs.

    A Piece on the Rise of the Internet

    It's bad because people now have a great target to point at and say: 'Ha! Crazy lefties!' while conservatives are very good now at disassociating themselves from their crazy Keyes/Buchanan/M. Savage crowd by dismissivly saying they don't represent the political right.

    Bush Pushes Faith-Based Initiative Agenda

    Government's shouldn't fund religious groups in general. That's all. Religious communities should fund themselves, and generally don't have a problem doing so. And if you start to give one religious group money, you pretty much have to give them ALL money, or you're discriminating based on religion which is: unconstitutional. Do you want YOUR hard earned money going to every different religion? I don't. Religions do just fine without the gov't getting involved, so leave them alone.

    Ten Commandments before Supreme Court

    Oops, you were talking about "in God we trust" and "under God" right? I thought you were talking about the first Commandment and saying it was just generally monotheistic. My bad. What about all those Egyptians and Greeks and Romans then! Thinking about it, is Hinduism pretty much the only surviving polytheistic religion? Though it could be considered monotheistic, since, if I understand correctly you could consider Hinduism as having 1, 3, 7(I think?) or a pantheon of gods.

    Ten Commandments before Supreme Court

    Ok, ok, you got us. The Ten Commandments have absolutely nothing to do with Judaism and Christianity.

    Better as face or heel?

    I REALLY hope you're being sarcastic. He, against odds, managed to make a completely goofy, and none to smart character into a monster face. He was an AWFUL heel. His heart clearly wasn't in it, and he never looked intimidating. It was just 'Hey, Sting used a chair last match.' 'Oh well. Let's still cheer him!'
  20. The Brood was so bad when they talked. Gangrel did NOT sound intimidating, and we all know Edge's goofy-ass voice.

    Canadians are cordial and generally cool. And B.C.'s population is apparently 65% gorgeous Asian women. Go Canada.

    Movie moments you marked out for.

    James Cagney makes the world his bitch "White Heat" Later Marked out for about the same thing in "Scarface" 3-way in "Wild Things" You know you did too. Also, Matt Dillon makes the fucking FUNNIEST FACES EVER in this scene. When I pointed this out, my friends blankly stated: 'you were looking at Matt Dillon'? Trust me, it's hilarious. Bruce Campbell does battle with his own hand 'Evil Dead 2' The big twist in Cemetary Man actually is the only twist that has ever made me feel chilled. Chauncy Gardner walks on water. -Being There Mirror Scene- Duck Soup Versus- "I'm a feminist" Ghost in the Shell- Opening and Kusanagi rips herself apart. Eddie Brock mentioned in Spider-Man. w00t. NOT a good movie, but almost anytime Colin Farrell kicked ass as Bullseye in Daredevil. The latter half of Donnie Darko had me full of nervous energey that I have never felt watching a movie. GItS 2, Kusanagi joins Bateau to rip some fuckin' shit up. Also the ridiculously lavish opening scene. Speaking of: Seeing the cityscape scene in Blade Runner when it was rereleased as the directors Cut. Think I was about 13-15? Good way to awe a boy who's reading Neuromancer. Buscemi the man finally gets some in Ghost World. Printer beating in Office Space. Have personally had the pleasure of partaking in this. There's innumerable others. I mark for movies.

    Do heels necessarily have to cheat?

    Exactly. Watched the Taue v Misawa matches from champions Carny 95 again recently. Now there's good booking in a nutshell. Taue looks like a monster, who can (and does) beat everyone with general badassedness. Then he fights Misawa and jsut about the first thing he does is just CLAW at Misawa's legit broken face. Dean-o machino and Bempot were tremendously adept at crfuelly picking apart opponents in NJPW as well. The weirdest thing to me is, for example Bret Hart's wrestling style. It's actually sort of heelish, because traditionally people seem to like sort of stupid faces who just overcome the odds with strength and sheer force of will (Sting, Hogan, Wohyah) as opposed to faces who can use their intellect and accumen to outsmart opponents (Bret, Steamer). This no longer seems to be the case, though. If they had someone with some creativity in the office, they would have Guerrero cleverly eking out the win ala WMXX in different ways, and the crowd would LOVE it.
  24. Since the Disciple was in the oWn, he should have called it the 'pair of Warriors nation' or the pWn. Ok, that was bad. I thought Piper's 'the Pipes' nickname was hilariously bad. His Alcatraz segment was priceless. "Aaah! The Pipes! The Pipes! The Pipes is(are?) comin' for you Hogan! The Pipes! Aaah!" *Runs off, presumably to swim to the arena he's going to fight Hogan in.* Oh, and Chon is justice! Chono is rule! would have gotten over huge.

    New pic of Kimberly Page

    They were probably Kimberly's or one of her friends'. She just blamed Sunny because of her past drug problems. That's super fucked-up.
