Ya know I love Alien, Aliens, and think Alien 3 is slightly underrated but still haven't seen Alien Resurrection. I should just keep avoiding and pretend it's a trilogy, right?
-
Yeah, I don't know about a singles squash but I vaguely recall him squashing some jobber in a handicap match on one of the weekend shows. And boy that Zeus Vs Abdullah The Butcher match is even worse than I remember!
-
Fair enough... And hey I found that Abdullah The Butcher Vs Zeus match I was talking about! By the way---if somebody wants to start the Let's Talk About...thread next week, by all means feel free.
-
Hey we've had them for three or four weeks running, Canuck.Granted, they were all started by me... And Zeus did actually have a singles match. Not in WWF but he fought Abdullah The Butcher in Puerto Rico shortly after his WWF run. The match was on YouTube but now I can't find the damn thing. It was as bad as you'd imagine an Abdullah The Butcher Vs Zeus match to be.

Can't believe it took me so long to get this considering my love of Beach Boys and Christmas music. Not one, not two but THREE versions of "Little Saint Nick". A lot of stuff from the '60s album is pretty fun stuff. "Santa's Beard" has almost topped "Little Saint Nick". I don't know why but songs about five year olds attacking mall Santa Claus just kill me. The unreleased stuff from their aborted late '70s album is kind of weak but man "Winter Symphony" is one of those lost Brian Wilson classics in my book. Hadn't even heard of the song before I got this.

Take it back. Last Exit to Springfield is a gem. Yeah...thinking about it she does have a couple of good ones. Maybe I should have said episodes focused on her are weaker in comparison to ones focused on other characters.And I've never really thought of "Last Exit to Springfield" as a Lisa episode. Always thought it was more of a Homer and Burns episode. Really as I said in The Simpsons Draft thread, the only characters that have really annoyed me on the show (outside of maybe a few guest shots during the later years) are Lindsay Naegle and Helen Lovejoy.
-
Lisa-focused episodes on the whole are generally kind of lousy but I wouldn't say her character is actively annoying.
-
Heh- I own that tape. Yeah, one of the more bizarre moments I've seen in wrestling. Bixie ain't exaggerating- that crowd shot is about three or four minutes long and Heenan seems legit pissed.
-
I wouldn't mind Helen Lovejoy getting drafted, but Jesus Christ, yes, I'm glad nobody's drafted Lindsey Naegle too. What a boring, boring stock character. I really only dislike Helen Lovejoy for the brief period where they tried to get "Won't somebody please think of the children!" as a catchphrase. For some reason, that really annoyed me. And yeah, the introduction of Lindsay Naegle just happens to correspond with the downfall of The Simpsons. So many better secondary characters yet she plays a decent part in a lot of later day episodes.
-
Jesus...that's an understatement there, Gary. I only got through twenty or thirty seconds before I wanted to physically assault someone!
-
Now that Venkman mentions it, I'm glad Lindsay Nagle hasn't been picked yet. One of the few Simpsons characters I actively dislike. Another one is Helen Lovejoy. I guess I'm spoiling since I don't think either have been picked but dammit I don't care!

The Smart Marks Greatest Song of the 60s Tournament
King Kamala replied to Youth N Asia's topic in Music
GROUP A Respect" by Aretha Franklin "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream "The House Of The Rising Sun" by the Animals "Good Vibrations" by Beach Boys GROUP B "Hey Jude" by The Beatles "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King (Real tough one- I figured at least one Beatles song would advance to the next song- not sure if one song by a black performer would though! Seriously though, both are iconic songs of the decade that are overhyped. But given the fact that "A Day In A Life" wins so many greatest songs lists, I don't see why it needs to win this one. "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees GROUP C "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley (Another tough one- as I'd be eliminating the last song that I nominated still on the ballot) "My Generation" by The Who "The Weight" by The Band "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys GROUP D "Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan "Gimme Shelter" by Rolling Stones "Norwegian Wood" by Beatles And "Time of The Season didn't make it to Round Three. BULL FUCKING SHIT! That song should have at least made it to the Elite Eight. -
What Would Be Your Theme/Entrance Music?
King Kamala replied to Diamonddust's topic in General Wrestling
I forgot one as well. I've always thought it'd be great for a jobber to use "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by War. -
What's everybody's opinion on "Do They Know Its Christmas?" Yeah, it's a little too maudlin and kind of patronizing towards the starving Africans but god damn if I don't get a little bit choked up everytime I hear Bono wail "TONIGHT THANK GOD IT'S THEM INSTEAD OF YOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" Oh and "Little Saint Nick" hasn't been mentioned either. That's another one of my favorites. Like Smues, I like about 75% of Christmas music. The only big exceptions besides the ones Smues has already mentioned is "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". Luckily there aren't many hicks programming the local stations that play 24/7 Christmas music so I don't hear it more than once or twice per season but good lord is that song awful.

What Would Be Your Theme/Entrance Music?
King Kamala replied to Diamonddust's topic in General Wrestling
I've always thought "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers would be perfect for a plucky, common man (ala Dusty Rhodes or Tommy Dreamer) babyface. Way back when I did e-feds, one of my characters who was an arrogant prick heel used "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner. -
Yeah, I remember reading it was #1 or #2 on its opening weekend and then fell hard after that. Why this movie isn't on DVD is beyond me....really if the Thunder In Paradise TV movies and The Secret Agent Club then why isn't this one? I need to see Hulk and Zeus's showdown in widescreen, dammit!
-
Yeah I love me some "Wonderful Christmastime". Possibly my favorite Christmas song. A lot of people think, like most of McCartney's solo work, that it's too whimsical and saccharine. Well sometimes I like whimsical and saccharine. Anyways I think now is as good of a time as ever to post a video for Tiny Tim's "Santa Claus Has Got The AIDS This Year". What he was trying to do with this song I'm not sure...
-
Actually, I think that would be really interesting to read. It's obviously not a matter of if he would attempt to gloss over some of the more sordid details of his batshit lunacy; that's a given. The real treat would be in seeing how he does it. Wait didn't Michael already write an autobiography? I think it was called Moonwalker (not to be confused with the film he did co-starring Joe Pesci and Sean Lennon...or the video game based on said movie). And this isn't really surprising. Jermaine's a Muslim (I think it's Jermaine- one of the lesser Jackson brothers. Though Jermaine is clearly #2) and has been trying to convert Mike for years.
-
Yeah, his role was kind of odd for various reasons. Most notably is that he was in between his WCW stint and WWF stint when it was filming. Did Vince sign him for the purpose of making him one of the baddies in the new Hulk Hogan? Maybe he signed him because of that? Someone fill me in! I couldn't find his review for No Holds Barred but here's Ebert's review for Suburban Commando!
-
Could you imagine Hulk Hogan's acceptance speech? Oh man, as long as it ended with him ripping his shirt off, I'd be happy (man that's the most homoerotic sentence I've ever written here).
-
Oh hell ya. Suburban Commando was the shit. Embarrasingly enough, I bought that DVD. Bought somewhat shortly after it came out and overpaid for it (It was like $12). Amusing anecdote about that one, an acquaintance of mine was in St. Louis on tour with his band and they met The Hulkster at a TGI Fridays. For some reason, they ask him about Suburban Commando and Hulk says that he doesn't remember much about it except Christopher Lloyd would show up to the set stoned all the time. I guess you might have to working on that one. To this day, my brother and I like to shout "I WAS FROZEN TODAY!" occasionally thanks to that moviel.
-
The fact that that and Thunder In Paradise aren't on DVD are the reasons why I still hold onto my VCR* *Not really but I did buy No Holds Barred and two Thunder In Paradise "movies" for like 75 cents a piece when the neighborhood video store was getting rid of their VHS about four years ago. Fake Edit: The Thunder In Paradise trilogy is on DVD! *Rushes to Amazon*
-
Didn't you and Marvin go to this show already? Like in August? Or does this mean two Chesapeake-area posters have attended two Staind/Papa Roach twinbills on separate occasions? Actually, Marvin attended a Three Doors Down/Staind twinbill. Why I remember this kind of crap is beyond me...
-
What...the...fuck... And I thought the collaboration they did with The Fat Boys was bizarre

HO HO HO HO HOHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAHHHHH! SNAP INTO CHRISTMAS!
