Anyone watch Tokko or Tokyo Majin? The entire series set for Tokko comes out next week..

I liked Land. It wasn't my favourite, but I still liked it.

Heh, Kong cuts a promo back when Cage was NWA World Champ about how she's coming for the World Title... Just thought I'd post that as she's obviously had this sort of idea before.

Anything good on there in terms of scene extensions, deleted scenes, alternate endings, etc?

Anyone else see this yet? I'm surprised that it hasn't had a wider release.. only four obscure theatres in all of Toronto are playing it right now... I went into this movie expecting something good.. what I got was something much more! This is sci-fi at it's best. Beautifully shot.. flawlessly executed.. not one weak performance from the cast OR crew, IMO. Simply amazing. Boyle directing and Garland writing just mesh together so well with the product that comes out on-screen. I have to say this is probably one of Cillian Murphy's best performances, that I've seen, and it also really shines a whole new light on Chris Evans as an actor.

I was expecting a thread mostly filled with posts from Yuna Firerose...

Anyone pick up the DVD or Bluray yet?

True enough. VM, and maybe Nakajima was really the only aspect of the potential AJPW deal that I was looking forward to.

So it's Godzilla 98? Ewww. I have some mild interest in seeing this, but the fact that they don't tell you about the monsters origins apparently are turning me off. I just love that aspect, actually. He came. He saw. He fucked shit up. Carpenter's the Thing was iffy on the explanation of where the Thing actually came from and what it's deal was... but that movie still rocked the fucking house.

There'll probably be some sort of short, or something like that, on the DVD to explain a few things. I wouldn't hold your breath for any huge theatrically released sequels or prequels to this movie unless it does ridiculously well at the BO.

Sure, but is that what they're doing here? My point is that it's hard for me to accept a movie with the premise of New York City being under siege as escapism when it actually happened just a few years ago. I remember thinking how amusing Independence Day and its images of major American landmarks being destroyed seems in retrospect and how you could never really milk any shock value out of anything like that ever again, but here we have the head of the Statue of Liberty being thrown clear across Manhattan. It just all seems kind of silly. Dude, it's a fucking sci-fi movie. Seriously, get a grip.

Well if they were going to fit in all the docu-style stuff and the entire Angle/Nagata match (19 minutes), and don't forget commercial breaks, clips of the other matches was really the only way they could go. Remember an hour of TV with commercials is usually only about 40-45 minutes. If you add up all the other matches... Christian/AJ/Petey vs RISE - 10:25 Daniels vs Inoue - 10:17 Abyss vs Nakanishi - 6:00 Team 3d vs GBH - 13:12 Tomko/Bernard vs Steiners - 12:50 That's almost an hour right there, and well over an hour when you add in Angle/Nagata. Like someone else said, they're probably saving it for a DVD (though I'll hold out for the NJPW version, myself).

Oh, also - no where else to put this so it's going here. Highspots is selling a new replica (regular and deluxe) belt of a title that's been inspired by the PWF Heavyweight Title (one of the belts in the AJPW Triple Crown). http://www.highspots.com/product.asp?id=18592

Speaking of appearances that never turned into anything.. what was with Muta showing up at a TNA PPV a few months ago?

I wasn't.

Rue Morgue magazine has a really good interview with GAR this month where he goes on about how much more he enjoyed making this film than Land. It's a pretty good read.

Ok this is gay. Lethal is kicking Devine's ass, while Devine loosely clutches at the X Title... JUST FUCKING TAKE IT FROM HIM! This is the most lame excuse for a feud I've seen in a long time...

So - does every episode now have a "title" at the beginning? This week was "Like a Fish Out of Water" or something akin to that, and I remember there being something at the start of last weeks show too..

You're an idiot. Watch the Dome Show main-event matches again. I could maybe buy the opinion that Nakamura performed better than Angle that night (though I personally think the other way round), but if you're telling me that Angle sucked in his match and Nakamura was outstanding, then you're a fool. I'm not saying Angle sucks as a wrestler - I'm saying that I'm sick of him and wish he would fuck off (I KNOW I'm not alone on this either). It's kind of like how I feel about you now.

Depends on who you're dealing with. Certain groups do, certain groups don't. Honestly, in my experience I found there to be little difference between the racism in Japan and in any other country.

Sounds a bit like Robert Carlyle doing VO in that. Probably not, but it'd be cool if it were him.

What CPU difficulty level were you wrestling at? Also, are you on an HDTV? Apparently some experience a teeny bit of lag with consoles which can screw with timing based games like Fire Pro.

Agreed with the Batman Returns > Batman 89. Hands down Returns is the best movie of the first major franchise of Batman movies. As for Sin City.. it's okay.. I mostly like it for it's style though. 300, I hated. That movie can fuck right off.
