Special K

It doesn't have anything to do with being ashamed of being a fan, it has to do with taste. In general, the less busy the T-shirt, the better. Look at the very best ones: nWo, Austin 3:16. Then look at all the terrible Austin shirts they started making. The Ted DeBiase t-shirt is a rare exception, because a giant picture of Ted DeBiase is always going to be awesome. That Booker T logo on front is awesome. I agree that it'd be better w/o the 'Booker T,' but I'd wear it.

That story is so infinitely better than the Dark Phoenix saga. (which was terribly disappointing when I read it) You know, Claremont did a lot of good stuff, but after reading four volumes of Essential X-Men, he did just as much pure crap. All that Shi'Ar, Brood, space opera shit is completely insufferable. He had to have an Arcade storyline every goddamn couple of years (and they ALWAYS sucked. Badly.) What's wrong with mutants fighting mutants, and occasionally being angsty? Shit, I think Magneto and Juggernaut each showed up once in that span of Essentials, which is like 8 years of continuity. The space opera shit seemed to take up at least a third of that time.

Jesus how long is the R-Rated Ichii the killer? 45 minutes? The 'improvements' to the Star Wars trilogy largely sucked ass. Blade Runner was greatly improved by the DC. Totally changes the tone of the movie, lets the amazing visuals and acting speak for itself. I need to see the DC of Daredevil, since I didn't actually hatethe original. I wouldn't say I really liked it, but it was an average action movie. Incredibly gory movies like Ichii the Killer and Brain Dead/Dead-Alive are usually the ones that benefit most greatly. I've also heard the DC of Brazil improves an already pretty great movie. The worst are comedies, usually. They often just add 5 seconds of nudity. Take '40-year-old Virgin.' Now, I thought the movie was hilarious, but the unrated version takes the already swollen 2-hour movie and adds about 10 minutes of unfunny scenes that were cut for good reason.

Most of these aren't so weird. How about pralines and dick?

I think they chose the worst possible name for the list. I don't even really hate Korn or Blink 182 that much, but to call them important is laughable. They became popular based on existing trends, and didn't make any contributions to music in any way possible. And hey? What has seven arms and sucks? Def Leppard

'no' what?

Or that chick that led the X-Men for a long time and flew around and shit and caused storms. What was her name?

Even within the confines of whatever they're trying to do, Korn shouldn't be above Nine Inch Nails. No Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pearl Jam or Smashing Pumpkins? Fucking rubbish. Blink 182 ahead of Fugazi makes me want to puke. Green Day was more important than Nirvana? This list fucking sucks dick.

I think I'll have to see it again to judge it objectively. Damn, but did they do beast well, rhough, goood showon that front. Personality, Powe4rs, et al. And juggernaut bitch or no, that race, with Kittyt phasing and Juggernaut runng through everything, was very cool.

Having recently reread 'Hitman' I'll start with some members of Section 8. The DEFENSTRATOR. To defenstrate is to throw out a window. This is his only power. It has been stated that he got into a row with a GOtham cop, and threw him through the same window 14 times. Carries a spare window with him. Bueno Excelente. As the leader of the team states: He fights the powers of evil with perversion! His power is fucking criminals up the ass. Seriously. And the best for last: The DOGWELDER: Wears a we;ders suit and mask. catches stray dogs in bear traps. His power? He keeps a cache of dead dogs attached to his suit. He takes them, and welds them to villains' faces. Fuckin' brilliant. Section 8 also has a guy names Shakes who does nothing but have DTs (something I think Garth Ennis is familiar with) And Friendly Fire, who is able to fire powerful energy blasts, but always misses and hits his teammates.

Though I still read comic books at 25, so thats pretty fucking nerdy. I play through a video game like twice a year now. Watch lots of movies. Watch very little TV now (Basically The Office, Veronica Mars and whatever FX show is on.) Don't really watch wrestling anymore, though I buy a tape or DVD about once a year. Oh, and I've seen my good share of anime, though I don't think I've watched anything besides a couple Miyazaki movies in the past year.

I think it'll play much more poorly on video. It was fun for the gee-golly special FX, but it really did turn out to be a clusterfuck, as most people feared. And I can't believe they built a 2500-foot replica of the GG bridge for that silly, silly, scene.

I like Jerry Lawler's fistdrop. Yeah, the Heart Punch would hurt, but so would getting socked in the face 20-30 times which often happens in a wrestling match. Shane Douglas's Belly-to-Belly of death had the impact of a basic body slam and was treated like death after 10 chair shots. He gets credit back for using the AWESOME Pittsburgh Plunge (Fishermen's buster into small package) And I marked out for the Greetings from Asbury Park. If done correctly, it would be fucking devastating(Rikishi always did it really well.) but Bam-Bam always left their heads above the canvas by at least a foot, making it really funny-looking. Here's one that might be a little more controversial: The Swanton Bomb. It's a beautiful, rather death-defying move, but it basically amounts to "Ow, your shoulder skimmed me while you just threw yourself off the top rope." Again, it's a really pretty move, but almost any other top rope move looks it has more actual impact on the victim.

Essential X-Men. It's your friend. Dazzler is not. She was a disco queen on roller-skates. She was really embarassing.

Lots of good stuff coming this summer. I'll see Nacho Libre, Superman, PotC2, Pulse and Clerks II pretty much for sure. And Motherfuckin' Snakes on a Motherfuckin' plane. There are also some intriguing looking ones like a Scanner Darkly and Lady in the Water. But Jesus Christ, all the horror movie remakes are starting to tick me off. Wicker Man? That movie, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty much perfectly conceived the first time around. Black Christmas? Now there's a good slasher flick that probably no one remembers.

Yeah, I really don't like Cable. I'll freely admit half of it is to his ridiculous Rob Liefield look. But he has the most morose, uninteresting personality. Deadpool may be a ripoff, but he had some great comedic issues. Bishop? Don't know enough to judge. Most of what I know about him is from the animated series. Lasers or not, Dazzler's roller-skating ass is lame. She was pretty cool in Ultimate, though.

A couple of Juggernaut's line-readings, while the lines themselves are fairly stupid, are golden. Notably when he kicks the door down with Lilandra.

I can't believe anyone thought a Phoenix Force from outer space was going to come down and possess Jean. Or that Juggernaut would have gotten his powers from the magical gem of cyttorak or whatever. Guess what? I really doubt Spidey's going to go on a Secret War and find the symbiote on an alien planet. And he probably won't beat Sandman with a fucking vacuum cleaner. Prepare to be disappointed. I always thought one of the most badass fights would be Rogue versus Juggernaut. I can't remember Colossus doing anything in the movie besides the two fastball specials and carrying a TV because he is teh storng.

The line about being invincible because of his Jamaican flag suit was pretty funny. The first couple of minutes made me laugh, then it wore thin.

This movie sounds awesome!

INCORRECT Mr. Sensitive is the SHIT. Anarchist is pretty cool too. Sure, they have some silly powers, but they're supposed to be silly. And how can you hate Doop?

Just saw it. Fun action scenes, but way too much jammed into 104 minutes. Absolutely no character development. I think they knew they had script issues, so they just put as much fanboy stuff in as possible. (fastball special, Juggernaut bitch, Iceman finally going icy, tons of cameos) Halle Berry sucks, so many characters were underused and she just sucked up screen time after originally turning down the role completely. Colossus had, what? One line? Jamie Madrox is the shit. His power always bothered me, though. If you kill one of eight of him, what happens? Wow, Cyclops, the longest running character in X-Men, was in about 10 minutes of X2 & 3 combined. And lastly, two X-statix cameos, and no Mr. Sensitive, Anarchist or U-Go Girl? Heresy!

Just watched it for the first time. The procedural part was... OK. But it is the schwaltziest fucking show! Lots of long tearful looks, fuck, is this what AD got cancelled for? Fuck this show! I could accept Law & Order as a procederal, but this show? It fucking sucks!

His name is THE PUSHER. He's related to THE DEFENSTRATOR. Pak Chooey Umf. Or some reasonable facsimile. And Puh-nowned is funnier than powned. It just is.

Not nearly 'nuff said. Review?
