Special K

My favorite will always be Leroy Jenkins, even though it was almost certainly staged.

"Well sir.... I don't like it." Constantine was a pleasant surprise to me. It would be nigh-impossible to actually have a faithful Hellblazer or Moore-era Swamp Thing movie. God, did they ever fuck the dog with LXG, though. That one would NOT have been that hard to faithfully adapt at all. Some of the obscure references would be lost, but it's a straight-up good adventure yarn. You have to have hyde eatting people and ripping them the fuck apart.

No, I'm on your side. Reread my post. Another way to say it would be, 'even though it's often used colloquially, it's still incorrect. People argue that since it's been misused so much that 'could care less' is fine. It's not. "Oh, man that was so funny, I literally shit my pants. ...That's terrible! What'd you do? No, I said I LITERALLY shit my pants, dude."

One that people tend to forget is the monster face pop Jericho got when his name appeared during his debut. That's a moment that's always given me chills. Most probably forget it because he turned the crowd on him in aproximately 30 seconds. When Hogan first turned heel on WCW, it took a little bit of time for it to set in for the crowd, and then they LOST it. There's nothing like foreign crowds for crazy heat, sometimes. Misawa/Kawada and especially Misawa/Kobashi championship matches always had nuclear heat. And I hear when el hijo del Santo turned heel, the crowd was near rioting, with much of the crowd in tears.

I agree with everything you said in the last post, Ripper. A Honeymooners movie starring Chris Farley and David Spade would have sucked, too. And yes, Blues Brothers 2000 was a horrible, horrible idea. I even like John Goodman a lot, but trying to replace Belushi with anyone is completely foolish. Sam with Cab Calloway. Hell, that might be the most creatively bankrupt movie ever. Didn't they add a cute kid Blues Brother? Plus, it's probably the same old Hollywood hacks writing and pitching these ideas about taking an old classic and making it 'hip and edgy' in various ways, casting someone from Kings of Comedy being only one of them. The Brady movie was probably the only remotely good one. Taking these ridiculously wholesome characters and transposing them is a decent idea, and it seemed to genuinely like the characters. Not that it was any great shakes, by any means. Shit, 100x more offensive to me than recasting an old sitcom with black actors is them shitting on Dr. Seuss with Grinch and The Cat and the Hat. Leave Dr. Seuss's books ALONE you soulless pieces of shit. I don't want fart humor in the Cat in the Hat. I think thing they haven't perverted so far is Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes.

I want an all-white remake of Blacula.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

Wow, overreaction. EDIT: Wow, even bigger overreaction, Dama. I hate that they're making all these remakes of fucking sitcoms in the first place. TV remakes, video game remakes, foreign remakes and sequels seem to comprise just a huge part of Hollywood movies nowadays. And remaking the Jeffersons with a family of white rednecks is about as faithful to the original as remaking The Honeymooners with Cedric the Entertainer, who I do think is funny (though I haven't seen the movie). Ralph Kramden has pretty much become a white working class 50's stereotype. The character and the actor are comic classics. I think Welcome back Kotter can work. But yeah, remaking the Honeymooners with anyone but Jackie Gleason is pretty much heresy, as much as making Sanford Son with anyone but Redd Foxx would be. Jackie Gleason was the shit. They're both iconic comic figures. You wouldn't remake I love Lucy without Lucy, you wouldn't remake the Cosby show without Bill Cosby.

Dean was really funny as the ladies' man, which surprised the heck out of me. And yes, All caps with the first name is a puro thing to indicate heels. I think I've only seen it with juniors. Examples I can think of are KENTA and CIMA, though CIMA could be an acronym. Plus he's really a tweener.

I'm not a fan. Of course, I rarely eat steak when I go out.

"You've been watching Blackenstein, and Blacula. Up next, the Blunch Black of Blotre Blame."

It's like people who misuse literally. Just because it's used colloquially doesn't mean you aren't using the phrase/word in EXACTLY the wrong way.

I just hope Cronenberg makes the occasional fucked-up movie every now and again. Videodrome, the Fly, Shivers and Naked Lunch were all great.

Ridiculous plot? I can understand some of the acting gripes, though I disagree, but this was one of the most realistic and simply-plotted thrillers I've ever seen. The only unrealistic thing is how much of a badass Viggo was, but it was realistically done.

Just saw it (on Illegal screener) This is not meant for blah blah blah. Not so great, IMO. Kong was the fucking shit. Too bad he's on screen about NEVER. All the actors did fine. Some of the action sequences (notably Kong v dinos) were incredible. The Brontosaurus chase was fucking, fucking RETARDED. On the level of a gun-fight in Equilibnrium retarded. The most unrealistic thing I've seen. I know this is supposed to be fantasy, but that was fucking terrible. From start to finish, fucking terrible. "But Doug, they were speaking to the era of adventure!" That adventure is fucking stupid. I couldn't even control that in a video game. (dino romp) And the bug canyon was fucking overlong. I know he was paying tribute to the original, but fucking PACING, people. I think Peter Jackson fucked the dog on this one. Nevermind, BIG LONG PANS over beautiful LANDSCAPES! The new King Kong is shit. Andy Serkis is THE shit, because Kong was appealing.

Jason Lee is mugging and doing kickflips in Sonic Youth's !00% video. +100 points for that.

Because he's a fucking phenomenal actor. He's the only part I noticed in Boogie Knights. Besides Heather Graham's phenomenal tits. And Julliane Moore's really nice tits.

Whatever you... you.... Free-Formed-Man-Servant. DISS THAT DON'T MISS

Name your fave actor and actress, why, and significant roles. Mine: Steve Buscemi: Maybe because he's the sole survivor of Reservoir Dogs, maybe because he's funny as fuck. Maybe because he has had so many good roles, unseen by many. Reservoir Dogs, Con Air, Trees Lounge, Living in Oblivion, Fargo. Catherine Keener: She's beautiful, but not in a Hollywood way. I firmly believe she's just looking for that one incredible part, because she is an incredible actress: Lovely & Amazaing, Being John Malkovich, Death to Smoochy, 40yo virgin, Living in Oblivion (again) She just got nominated for Capote, and rushed from the Oscars to go to YeahYeahYeahs concert. That's my girl Gold Lion

Nevermind.

Are you fucking kidding me? Next you're going to tell me the Tiananmen Square protests were a bunch of losers. Fuck you.

Get used to it.

No WAY you don't know a train's coming. As a little special k, I used to climb a trellis and watch the train go under. It was a fucking rush. However, you can fucking FEEL a train coming, easily, without the horn. And I don't even have blind Ben Affleck senses. Unless she was climbing along the traintracks, and thought an earthquake was coming, I think it's suicide.

God of War is incredibly awesome, except for the last boss fight. It's a game that's both challenging and forgiving.
