Spaceman Spiff

Show isn't exactly the most nimble guy. Shoot for the knees (already weak), dodge the punches, and take Show off his feet. Shouldn't be too hard for an Angle or a Lesnar.

"Meow."

Dropped pass after pass? Nope. He came up huge in the Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State, and made a huge 4th down catch (not an easy catch, either) last year to keep a game winning drive alive against W. Virginia. He had a down year last year, mainly because Brock Berlin was wildly inconsistent, as well as didn't look to Kellen as much as Dorsey did. Kellen greatly improved his blocking, as well. He, along w/ Ben Troupe, are the 2 best TE's in the draft. Had Dorsey been there 1 more year, Kellen would have had a huge year.

You could watch The Sopranos on Sundays instead of the PPVs. That's probably what I'll do this Sunday, unless there's a decent match on at the same time. He means there's no other viable (read: "free") wrestling product for him to watch. And even if he was willing to pay for TNA, if he doesn't like a lot of the WWE product, chances are he won't be ecstatic about TNA.

Certainly sounds better than Raw. I like the idea of Heyman rallying the lockerroom around the idea of "our Smackdown", although having everyone refuse to stand up to Austin shoots it all down. They should really play up the brand loyalty more, besides just having HHH throw out barbs towards SD every few months.

HOLY CRAP! ORLANDO JORDAN LOSES TO A BUY-OUT GUY FOR THE FIRST TIME! His reign of terror has been ended. All hail, Chuck Palumbo.

Fantastic match, with some cool spots (dropkick by Knoble while London was skinning the cat, Knoble's reveral of the Northern Lights suplex/pin directly into the match-ending submission). The commercial break ruined some of the flow, but otherwise a very good match.

I demand that "Randy O-Tron, evil cyborg wrestler" be involved in this storyline.

Other than the complaints, what political moves has he pulled? Other than being a "star", he really doesn't have much political pull, IMO. And it's not just a program w/ Taker. Taker would come out the winner in the feud, but there's really no reason why they should be feeding Brock to Taker without it being part of some bigger plans for Brock.

Dames

Lesnar *is* over. And considering he's been there for 2 years, he's paid his dues. Who, exactly, would you stick into his spot? Keep in mind it has to be a heel, so that rules out RVD.

He has been asked to carry SD for the last 2 years, first as the #1 heel, then #1 face, then back to #1 heel. The 2 other "big names" on the show (Angle & Taker) have both had some pretty extended breaks (due to injuries, but still time off).

"Baba O'Riley"

Oh, I don't doubt they're real. I just think "whaaaaaaaat?" when I see the names.

Flashbacks? I hope not. About Kotz's possible Hayden picture - he's gotta be bald. "More machine now than man" with a full head of hair would seem odd. Plus, he wears a helmet practically 24-7. If I did that, I'd shave my head bald.

Y'know, whenever I see you post the name of an obscure band, I can't help but think to myself that you're just making the band & song names up.

Megatron (to Starscream): "YOU GOT SERVED!"

The people love Optimus Prime. Starscream owns his metal ass. Soundwave > all

You wouldn't understand. You...couldn't understand.

... Did he say Johnny Spade?

Man, Muraco was *JACKED* I like that almost smile on Studd's face.

OK, here we go. I've rated how I feel about each of these on a +1, 0, -1 scale (with 2 exceptions). Apparently, I'm on board with them as a whole, but there certainly are unnecessary changes/additions. Episode IV: A New Hope 01. The Imperial March has been added to Darth Vader's first appearance on Princess Leia's ship. +1 02. When Obi-Wan is talking to Luke about his father Anakin's Theme plays in the background and then it turns into the Imperial March as he talks about Vader. +1 03. The lightsaber effects have been redone and the frame jumps of lightsabers being turned on has been removed. +1 04. There's a new scene which has been shot during the filming of Episode III in which the Emperor dissolves the Senate. -1 - unnecessary 05. In the Cantina, the Duros(green aliens guys) have been replaced with Neimoidians and some aliens from the prequels have been added. -1 - I like those guys. Just fix the one's hands (he has human hands in gloves) 06. The bleeding arm on the floor in the Cantina has been replaced with a non-bleeding arm because it's now canon that lightsabers cauterize wounds. 0 - makes sense, but the underlying reason is that George wants to clean up the blood. No big deal. 07. The original shooting scene between Han and Greedo has been restored. +2 - yeah, it deserves a +2 08. Jabba the Hutt has been given a makeover and Han no longer steps on his tale. +1 09. In place of R2 wobbling down the stairs to the Falcon's hangar, a CG R2 navigating the stairs like he does in Attack of the Clones was added. 0 10. The white boxes around space ships have been removed and new CG shots have been added. +1 - cleaning up stuff like matte lines is always good 11. The scene of the Falcon being chased by the two Star Destroyers was modified. The Falcon now does spinning moves, avoiding the Star Destroyers' fire. +1 12. When the Death Star destroys Alderaan there's a new scene of Yoda's reaction to the disturbance in the Force that is created by all those deaths and then it cuts to Obi-Wan reacting to it as well. -1 - unnecessary 13. The Dianoga has gotten a CG makeover and were are now able to see more of the creature. +1 14. The Death Star's paneling and computers have been slightly altered to show similar displays to those in the prequels. +1 15. The words "Tractor Beam" with Aurebesh lettering. 0 - nice touch, but nothing special 16. More stormtroopers have been added to the Death Star. 0 - nice touch, but nothing special 17. Temuera Morrison's voice is being recorded for use with all the stormtroopers. -1 18. The Obi-Wan/Vader duel has been spruced up. It is much more epic and there is much more movement. A modified version of Duel of the Fates is being considered for the scene. +.5 - should look good, but not really needed 19. The Death Star plans that are taken from R2 have been updated. When the Rebels are reviewing the Death Star plans they look similar to the plans we see in Attack of the Clones. 0 - nothing special 20. The Death Star battle is much more epic with more Tie Fighters and more Rebels being blown to bits. We get to see old Naboo starfighters being used by the Rebels. 0 - +1 for more fighters, -1 for Naboo fighters 21. There's a new scene(shot during Episode III) where Darth Vader goes to Coruscant and lands his ship in the same building Count Dooku does at the end of Attack of the Clones. Except now the building is all fixed up and it is now Palpatine's palace. He meets with Palpatine to ask for forgiveness for his failure and inform him of a new potential who is strong in the Force. 0 - not really needed, but doesn't detract 22. Chewbacca now gets a medal. +1 - END RACISM! Total = 7.5 Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 01. The taun-tauns are now CG. -.5 - existing t-t's are fine, how will it look w/ Han & Luke riding them? 02. The battle of Hoth is much more epic. We see the Imperial ships land on Hoth and release AT-ATs. The AT-ATs have been sped up a bit. There's a ground battle between the Rebel soldiers and stormtroopers featuring new ships and vehicles. +1 - sounds cool 03. Temuera Morrison's voice is being recorded for the older Boba Fett and all the stormtroopers. -1 - Boba's voice is fine 04. The white boxes around space ships have been removed. +1 05. The slug monster is CG. +1 06. Ian McDiarmid has refilmed scenes as the Emperor. The conversations between Vader and Palpatine is now longer and features a few connections to the prequels. +.5 - not needed, but could be neat 07. Yoda's face is now animated in CG allowing more _expression of emotions yet his movements remain the same. Also two deleted scenes featuring Yoda instructing Luke have been restored. +1 08. A new scene was shot in which the stormtroopers, after they capture Han, Leia and Chewie, bring Vader the box containing C-3PO in pieces. Vader orders the stormtroopers to bring the broken droid to Chewbacca's cell so that he can fix him. +1 - CONTINUITY~! 09. The lightsaber effects have been redone in certain parts. +1 10. Luke's fall from Cloud City has been reshot against bluescreen using a stuntman. 0 - maybe take out Luke's pussy scream instead Total = 5 Episode VI: Return of the Jedi 01. Jabba the Hutt is now a combination of the puppet and CG. +.5 02. The Rancor is CG and looks disgusting as ever. +1 - current Rancor looks bad in parts 03. Yoda is CG. Yoda disappears leaving his clothes behind like Obi-Wan now. +1 04. The ewoks are now mostly CG and there are a lot more of them. +.5 05. The plan is to insert the love theme Across the Stars when Luke is talking with Leia about their mother. 0 - eh 06. Temuera Morrison's like before is now the voice for Boba Fett and all the stormtroopers. -1 - I likr Morrison as Jango, but I don't need his voice for Boba and the 'troopers 07. In the battle of Endor there are thousands of Ewoks and they are more vicious than there midgets-in-suits counterparts. More bite the dust now. +1 - more vicious is good 08. White boxes around ships removed. +1 09. The black blotches around Palpatine's face are gone. +1 10. Some of the lightsaber effects have been redone. The shadows that the lightsabers made on the floor are gone. +1 11. During Anakin's death scene it starts with a sad rendition of the Imperial March and slowly evolves into Anakin's Theme. +.5 12. Sebastion Shaw who played Anakin when he was unmasked has been replaced with Hayden Christenson in make-up to make him look older. Anakin has much more dialogue. He apologizes for the destruction he caused, he thanks his son for turning him back to the light, he tells his son to rebuild the Jedi and he says he loves him and his sister. Just before he dies he says, "It is finished...". 0 - +1 for exposition, -1 for putting Hayden in there 13. We see more planets celebrating at the end of the movie. We see an aged Jar Jar, who is now the leader of the Gungans, on Naboo celebrating with the people of Naboo and the Gungans. We see an old Watto, who is now unable to fly, sitting in a hover chair cheering on Tatooine. During these scenes Across the Stars plays transitioning to the victory celebration music at the Ewok tree village. -.5 - not needed, plus Jar-Jar is still alive 14. Anakin's spirit is now played by Hayden Christenson with make-up to make him look his age. He looks on proudly at his son Luke with the spirit of Padme by his side -2 - 1 negative each for using Hayden and adding Padme's spirit Total = 4

Yeah, some good stuff, some great stuff (notably the original Han/Greedo scene), and some other stuff I'm not too crazy about. It's gonna be weird hearing "The Death Star Plans are *not* in the main computer" and "Look, sir! Droids!" in Morrison's voice.

But does HHH walk out of WM w/ the belt? Ideally, they should have Benoit defeat HBK at WM, have HHH pull the "you didn't beat me" card, and then have Benoit go over at Backlash to cement him as champ, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll happen that way.

GOD DAMN I FUCKING HATE THAT SHIT OMG I'M IN SUCH A FOUL MOOD RIGHT NOW ARRRRRGHHHH I USED OMG FUCK FUCK FUCK Ooh, here's one: Girls who tell you to call them at a certain time, don't answer when you DO call them, then have a pair of guys call you back and threaten to kick your ass if you call her again! ISN'T THAT JUST PEACHY? I need some tranquilizers right now or something. You just need to think outside the box, and synergize w/ this girl. Maybe work out some kind of paradigm shift.
