What are you guyses predictions for tonight? My predictions Best Picture: No Country For Old Men Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis Best Actress: Julie Christie Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett Best Screenplay, Originally Written For The Screen: Juno

I agree, Bruiser. Val's IC title run was underrated. His feud with Rikishi did a good job at changing them both from comedy acts to credible mid-carders on their way to the upper mid-card. Of course, what does the WWF a couple months after that feud is over? Val joins the RTC for no reason and Rikishi is found to be the guy who ran over Austin.

Michael Clayton is a grower. I don't know what it was (most likely, the annoying 14 year olds walking in and out of the theater I saw it in. Why the fuck were they there in the first place?) but when I first saw it I thought it was a **1/2-*** movie but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

I really don't know and I don't have a discerning palate. It's mostly just to say I haven't eaten at those places. I don't have any real bias against them. In fact, I buy those frozen TGI Fridays appetizers occasionally at the grocery store. And I actually just broke that streak on Thursday when I went to Chili's for lunch. A couple of friends wanted to go. I just got some appetizer sampler and it wasn't very good at all. Even the free chips and salsa wasn't very good.

Philistine!

I bet it'll make $30-40 million opening weekend and then have a huge dropoff.

Would it be incorrect to say that when the heavyweight division is down than boxing's popularity is down? It seems that way here in the U.S. at least. I'm sure if there was one dominant heavyweight, boxing's popularity would go back up.

After much delay, I finally saw Atonement. I liked it well enough. It takes a while to get going but the last 45 minutes or so are damn good. I'd rank the nominees 1. There Will Be Blood 2. No Country For Old Men 3. Michael Clayton 4. Atonement 5. Juno

I liked Juno but the more I think about it, the more I think it's probably my least favorite (and the worst) of the Academy Awards nominees. In fact, I think it's kind of outrageous that it's going up against No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood. Hell even Michael Clayton blows it out of the water. If Juno wins, I'll be ticked shitless.

Be Kind Rewind did pretty damn well considering it was only in 800 theaters. I have a feeling it might it hit the Top 5 once it expands to more theaters.

I was indifferent towards the stable at the time but looking back on it, RTC basically killed the careers of everyone involved. Especially Val Venis and The Godfather. They've never been able to capture a fraction of the popularity they had before they joined RTC (Though I thought Venis was a bit underrated as Chief Morley). It's too bad because I thought Venis was shaping up to be a solid upper mid-carder. I will agree that RTC was Stevie's best work outside ECW and may have been his best work overall. I thought it would have been better off if it was just Stevie and maybe Bull Buchanan as the muscle, doing battle with the miscreants of the WWF. Val and Godfather were never really convincing in the group.

Only on TSM could you get a mildly thoughtful debate on the morality of necrophilia with animals. I applaud you all.

This is illegal. We could all be arrested for this! I don't want to go to jail

RE: Music in sports. For baseball and hockey, I love the organ. It should be used way more often for both. Pro baseball and hockey games should have almost exclusively organ music. But for the other sports, it just sort of feels out of place. It can be grating to go to NBA and minor league baseball games with all of the shitty music they play. I love almost everything about going to Sea Dogs games (even the silly in-game contests) but man is the music they play terrible. A combination of terrible mainstream country and terrible classic rock with the occasional terrible oldie thrown in. There's just too much music at NBA games.

I saw it last night. It was pretty good, a solid *** movie but nothing to write home about. The redone Ghostbusters was hilarious though.

Milky, have you fucked an O-Dog?

I must reiterate being bored at work is no excuse for shitty posting. See: Beaverton, Dustin and whatever EHME's real name is.

I could have swore I saw a trailer for this before Knocked Up. It looks like a borderline rental/movie I'll watch on HBO or Showtime.

In this day and age, which cable network doesn't want low-concept reality shows? Hogan would have no problem finding a network for his "promotion". But really this is just his yearly pre-WrestleMania ploy for attention/a WrestleMania appearence.

I can't think of an instance where I've walked out of a show. I guess I figure I've wasted my time (and usually money) getting there- I might as well stay the whole time. The exception being Fine Arts Nights (my high school's equivalent of a talent show). I don't even count those as real concerts because 90% of the bands that played there couldn't get a gig outside of Fine Arts Night. I don't think I sat through an entire Fine Arts Night. Four hours of shitty high school bands, bad poetry, and the occasional lame acoustic Goo Goo Dolls cover by some dude with a guitar is a real endurance test for anybody.

I don't appreciate dorks like you misquoting me! Don't step to Hulk, man! Don't step!

Hulk Hogan wants to fight Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV? What a scoop!

There's a long-standing rumor that Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah are lesbian lovers. Though someone on the Wrestling Classics or Kayfabe Memories message board said that Moolah's lover was actually a former lady midget wrestler and Mae Young just lived with them.

My memory of the article is somewhat vague, it could have been in the magazine as far back as late '94 when The Million Dollar Corporation was at its "peak". I don't think the angle was ever on TV but I thought ut served as a decent if not slightly half assed kayfabe explanation for Tunney's departure. Speaking of which, I always thought Tunney's successor, Gorilla Monsoon made an underrated authority figure.

I had an interview at Primerica. It lasted rougly two minutes before they told me I wasn't qualified (I didn't have a car at the time). Thank God. That whole place just screamed sleazy.
