So now they have guys that the fans don't even care about showing up the Tough Enough kids. What's the point?

Yeah, Raven had a great match with Rhyno at Backlash 2001. Probably the best match of his WWF career. I wouldn't say that match was too "cartoon-like".

Just wondering what you mean by the "juvenile" approach of the Marvel films? Do you mean in the sense that the D.C. films seems to be casting more mature/serious actors, or the feel of the films or something else? Just curious.

Phone Booth (9/10) A really good film with pleanty of tension and a great performance from Colin Farrell as well as being a pleasant surprise from the usual dire Joel Schmacher.

The drizzling shits for the most part. IIRC, the UK got Worldwide or Pro on Satellite TV for a while, I think from mid-1990 to mid-1991. Then, from later in 1991, WCW Pro aired on network television on Saturday nights, but usually past Midnight, sometimes as late as 3am. Then, they got Worldwide, which aired on a Saturday afternoon timeslot. While the audience grew, obviously, the network that showed it edited it to oblivion. Anything remotely graphic was cut out, so that a 45 minute program would usually wind up lasting about 25 or 30 minutes. This continued until late 93, when the network shifted Worldwide back to a post-Midnight slot on Thursday nights. By this point, Worldwide was being taped in Disney, yet the show still got cut by around 10-15 minutes each week, despite nothing overtly violent being shown. For a while, around late 1995, Worldwide was back in the Saturday afteroon slot, and was actually pretty good, as they tended to show a UK version, and had some good matches. In April of 1996, Nitro was brought to the UK version of TNT. When Nitro went to 2 hours, though, the UK Version wound up being cut down to 1hr, so they didn't see everything, which made for some confusing storylines. Eventually, I think in early 1998, they began to show the full versions, and when Nitro went to 3hrs they showed that uncut. and when Thunder started we had Friday nights of Nitro from 8-11 and Thunder from 11-1 and repeats of WorldWide have been shown since mid 2002, basically starting from early 1990 (run up to Flair dropping the belt to Sting) and we're now at mid-late 1992 (last week Ron Simmons' world title win and Jake The Snake attacking Sting was shown). but this show is being dropped at the end of the year due to low ratings. Five also showed WCW Worldwide at 7:00pm on a Friday from July 1999 (the one with the return of Eddie Guerrero) until the end of the company in March 2001. I also think that the last one they showed was a repeat of the first one they showed. I might be wrong with that though but I knew the first show was repeated at some point.

"Ashes" - Embrace

Yes. Yes they do. Sad really.

"Below the Radio" - Grandaddy

"Below The Radio" - Grandaddy

Add me to the list of people looking forward to this film. "Bottle Rocket" is one of my favourite films ever and I loved "The Royal Tenenbaums" too. The trailer looked pretty good and it has a great case so things are looking good for it. Then "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" after that!

It sounds good but does Neil Marshall (writer/director of the original) having anything to do with this? BTW, I'm looking forward to his next two films "The Dark" and "Outpost", zombies on an oil-rig.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (8/10) A loud, brutal and fun action film. Behind Enemy Lines (3/10) Ridiculous, flag-waving rubbish. Totally pointless.

Jackass: The Movie (8/10)

Why must I be reminded of that? And who thought that Avril covering "Fuel" was a good idea?

"If You're Gonna Be Dumb" - Roger Alan Wade

The Usual Suspects (10/10)

I don't remember anything specific but I think he was pretty awful at Backlash 2000 as well.

Yeah I heard Val Kilmer was hard to work with to. In fact him and Joel Shumacuer (sp?) had falling outs on the set of Batman Forever which is why he didn't return to play Batman again. Val seems to have a bit of a history for this kind of thing. Didn't he have the Richard Stanley, the original director, of The Island of Dr. Moreau fired after one day? I know that the replacement director, John Frankenheimer, got so pissed off by Val he said he would never work with him again.

"The Blower's Daughter" - Damien Rice

Withnail and I (9/10) Fantastic characters, great performances and brilliantly quotable dialogue.
