The Amazing Rando

It doesn't matter that it's an alternate timeline. That has nothing to do with anything. Technically, every fictional movie ever is in an alternate universe since it's depicting stuff that never really happened. My point is, the ending of the book Watchmen involved a violent attack on New York City, for the purpose of causing panic and terror, which left many many innocent people dead. That's a plot point with a hell of a lot more loaded symbolic meaning now than it was when it was first written in the 80s. Especially since the story takes the point of view that the mass death of innocent people was a necessary if not heroic act. You don't see how some people might get upset about that kind of thing? I mean, there have been plenty of movies out there which caused plenty of controversy over much less sensitive material. Remember people whining over any religious movie ever released just because it didn't exactly match their views on said religion? Or any popular movie featuring gay people, because the right wing don't take kindly to their type? Meanwhile, here we have a story which could theoretically be interpreted as saying that a 9/11-ish attack could be a good thing, and it wouldn't be that much of a stretch since that kinda is what it's implying. You don't see how that might ruffle some people's feathers? ...but, see, that is THE STORY. The entire reason fans have been clamoring to see a live action film about Watchmen is the fact that it's a damn good story, it's unique, and has a very memorable ending. It has nothing to do with any terrorist attack that has happened or ever will happen on any city in the world. I mean, fuck, are they never ever going to show the film Independence Day ever again because New York got fucked up? Why even MAKE this film if they are going to change the ending? When I was first told to go out and find the book and read it the ending was something that was incredibly hyped to me going in. "You just have to go read it, it's awesome!" and indeed, it was a great ending. The story doesn't make sense otherwise and, unlike Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, or anything else, there is NO LEEWAY with this story. You can't just change the entire ending. All the other comic book movies have a forty or so year continuity that, depending on the year, is vastly different from some other year based on a current writer's intentions. This is ONE book (or, well, a series of books) that has nothing to do with anything else before or after it. They spent so much time trying to hype this thing as how true it was going to be to it's comic-form, this would completely undo that. If people want to boycott the film, fine, it will still make a lion's share of profit through the fans of the original story and on DVD, and if the book wasn't selling well before it'll surely bring in new people that will go out and get that, too.

My second choice... Herbert "Uncie Herb" Powell

Sorry to miss my pick. It happens when you work long hours. With such good ones gone.... My first pick... Krusty The Clown

I'll jump in this.

It would be great to see Miz/Morrison pull a dastardly upset to DX similiar to what they did to Kofi/Punk a few weeks ago. A clean win, but very underhanded and lucky. Then afterwards they can get Kicked and Pedigreed and I would still be happy cause they won.

I'm a huge fan of "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" mainly for the awesome faux suicide bit at the finale. I can say that most Disney cartoons bug me, although I have gone out of my way to own some of the metal boxed DVDs they have been putting out (The Complete Goofy and The Chronological Donald, in particular). I was a big Goofy/Donald person, but given that I rarely ever saw them on TV (usually VHS), I got used to simply wading through the WB catalog. My faves were always Daffy, Wile E, and anything involving Bugs and Yosemite Sam (Darnit, Rabbit, nows I gots to go back and get another MATCH!!!).

On either IMDB or Wikipedia, a link on the "Texans" part of the quote redirects to a GW Bush page.

I love INCIT, and just won 3 of the last 5 rounds, including a 7-2 landslide. I've got 15 wins I think total.

And they lost singlehandedly to Cena

As much "fun" as Batista/Cena for the belt at WM would be, I have been hoping that Batista winning the belt would lead to him losing to Orton in a month or two and then setting up Punk winning the Rumble and having the real big Mania moment that could make his career.

I am fairly certain that an LMS Match means that they have to answer a ten count and that the match can be decided anywhere in the building, while a KO Match, in my line of thinking, means that the other person just has to be knocked out and deemed unable to continue the contest by referee decision, not via any count. So, in essence, certain submissions could be considered able to win the match (such as the sleeper) or any such move that can get the Triple Hand Raise to work, although with the way the storyline is building I'd assume it would mean that the person winning would win using some sort of punch or kick rather than a hold. But who am I kidding, it's going to be an LMS or I Quit match. Fans saw Taker knocked out, so they wouldn't vote to book him in a match he could potentially lose.

In as OAOAMAZINGRANDO. Started as a Re-Re, but am now a lvl 3 hacker.

Wow, that was crap.

Since Jericho got DQ'd, shouldn't he not be continuing? Or is this Adamle's way of payback for Jericho trying to cheat?

Adamle rules.

Sept 22.

That's a great dig.

He actually said "Dudes" and was referring to Shane Douglas and Johnny Ace.

Snitsky got himself the new Jade From Sweetbox album.

THERE WERE PLENTY OF TICKETS STILL ON SALE!

JBL sort of looks like Dalton Humphrey from the Red Green Show

I like that he did the pause and stare to JBL in the middle of the ring before going to the first corner.

Not sure, probably because I set the stamina thing really high to try to keep moving players in and out. I am just waiting out the end of this season and then the probable restructure will no doubt greatly improve our winning odds.

I know it's not the official team name, but nothing tops The Delta State University Fightin' Okra

"My friends, it must be Tuesday. He was wearing his cornflower blue tie, my friends."
