Onslaught has aged horribly especially given how: 1. The entire story was written on the fly with no one knowing who or what Onslaught was going to be until four months before the crossover began, when Mark Waid suggested Onslaught be Xavier and even then no one giving the story any sort of logic save for Xavier going nutso and everyone fighting him... 2. The shitty way they resolved the X-Traitor story by nonsensically making it Xavier instead of Gambit, like it was originally intended 3. The entire storyline being hijacked by the suits and the ending changed so as to make it serve as the launching vehicle for Heroes Reborn

Fatal Attraction's original ending was that Glenn Close kills herself in a manner to make Michael Douglas murdered her. The wife finds in her husband's possessions a tape where she admits to her plan while looking for a number of a lawyer for her husband and the film ends with her debating whether or not she should save her husband/clear his name or let him rot in jail....

Someone needs to beat Cuntface Bryant to a bloody pulp. Seriously, doesn't anyone have the balls to tell the cuntface to keep his bitch mouth shut? ----------------------------------------------- http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylc=X3oD...ov=ap&type=lgns New Kobe furor: Says Malone made a pass at his wife By KEN PETERS, AP Sports Writer December 13, 2004 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Another Kobe conflict for the Lakers. Bryant has accused Karl Malone of making a pass at his wife at a game last month. Talking before Los Angeles' 105-98 win over Orlando on Sunday night, Bryant said he felt betrayed by a man he considered a friend. ``He was like a mentor, like a brother to me, so when something like that happens, you're upset, you're hurt,'' Bryant said. He said he called Malone and told him, ``Stay away from my wife. What's wrong with you? How could you?'' Malone was not available for comment Sunday, but agent Dwight Manley said Malone told him he had never made a pass at Bryant's wife, that he was surprised by the accusation, and that he then apologized to both Bryant and his wife for any remarks she might have considered inappropriate. ``Karl's response to Kobe's comments today is that he's a basketball player and not a soap opera actor and he doesn't intend to be involved in a personal soap opera,'' Manley said of his client. Bryant said he had phoned Malone, who has a home near Bryant's in Newport Beach, after Bryant's wife, Vanessa, told him on Nov. 23 that Malone had made inappropriate comments to her that night at Staples Center. ``The comments that he said, I don't know any man in this room that wouldn't be upset about that,'' Bryant said in the Lakers' locker room. ``The past month, myself, my wife, (Malone's wife) Kaye, we've had fun together. ``We've been out to their house, just joking around, giving each other a hard time, just clowning, being sarcastic with one another, baby-sitting kids and all that.'' Asked if there might have been a misunderstanding, Bryant said, ``What he said is what he said. I believe in my heart that it wasn't a misunderstanding. ``My wife wasn't going to stand for it. She felt uncomfortable being around him to the point that she felt she had to call his wife and tell her.'' Bryant said Malone didn't deny making the comments, and told him during their phone conversation, ``Aw, you know, I'm sorry if I said anything that was out of line.'' Malone, 41, told the Lakers on Oct. 1 he was still recovering from arthroscopic surgery he underwent three months earlier on his right knee and wasn't ready to play. But he didn't rule out returning at some point this season or beyond. He apparently is ready to play again, but for whom is the question. Manley said last Tuesday that Malone didn't plan to return to the Lakers because of comments Bryant made in a radio interview. Bryant had said the Lakers shouldn't have to look over their shoulders, wondering whether Malone was going to rejoin the team. According to Manley, Malone was furious at Bryant, and that private, personal attacks were involved, but the agent would not elaborate. Bryant, who in the past had a string of public feuds with Shaquille O'Neal and also some run-ins with coach Phil Jackson, certainly did elaborate on his side of the conflict with Malone. The second-leading scorer in NBA history, Malone opted out of his $1.65 million Lakers contract following last season, making him a free agent. He and Gary Payton, hoping to win their first league championship rings, took significant pay cuts to join Bryant and O'Neal in Los Angeles before last season. Despite having four future Hall of Famers, the heavily favored Lakers lost to Detroit in the NBA Finals. Then the breakup began. Jackson was let go, O'Neal demanded a trade and was dealt to Miami, Gary Payton was dealt to Boston, and Bryant tested the free agent market before signing a new seven-year, $136.4 million contract. Despite his obvious anger toward Malone, Bryant said he would be willing able to separate his personal feelings if Malone rejoins the Lakers. ``If he could come back and play for us and help us out, I'm happy to embrace him as a teammate,'' Bryant said. `But only as a teammate.'' Bryant is the defendant in a civil lawsuit accusing him of rape. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for pain, scorn and ridicule the woman says she has suffered since her encounter with Bryant at the Vail-area resort where she worked in June 2003. Bryant claims they had consensual sex. After the win over Orlando, he again was asked about Malone, and said, ``It has been difficult to deal with, but I've been through a lot and my family's been through a lot, and we're just trying to put it behind us and move on.'' Bryant scored 23 points on 6-of-23 shooting from the floor, with eight rebounds and six assists in the Lakers' victory. Teammates Jumaine Jones hit seven of his eight 3-point shots and finished with 25 points, and Chris Mihm had 25 points and 14 rebounds. Orlando's Steve Francis had 27 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds.

Technically that's not true, as there was a month long gap between Raw jumping ship to TNN/Spike and Steph ascending to head writer spot. But as someone stated in this thread, the fact that the first TNN/STV Raw was the first Raw to feature the return of Steve Austin is something to consider for regards to the shark-jump moment for the company. The entire year 2000 up until that point showed that the WWE could do just fine without Austin, so his return was one huge ass step backwards for the company. Especially when you consider how Austin made both Benoit and Angle look like crap in the segment he made his return to....

Besides the other stuff mentioned, the men on the show (Spanky, Captain Hero, and Not-Spongebob) all got their gay on by way of playing spin the bottle and kissing each other as a means to pass the time. Which means that now every character save Ling Ling and Toot have engaged in homosexuality in some shape, way, and form...

Actually, if you believe the set of season four spoilers that leaked onto the internet a couple of months back Chloe will only be involved in the first six-eight episodes and is written out by way of having her get put in CTU's brig for helping Jack without permission from her new boss. As for the show, it's going to be a huge uphill battle this season for the writers to make sure this season doesn't suck worse than season three. TPTB are banking heavily on the Jack Bauer character being able to carry the show despite the fact that seasons one and two made it pretty clear that without the supporting cast Jack is nothing more than a boring, worthless cliche of an action hero who's only novelty is the fact that his adventures are on prime-time tv and not on the big screen. That being said, putting Chloe in as Jack's sidekick makes perfect sense given that you need Jack working with someone who will totally take a piss out of KS's character and humanize him enough to give him motivation for his actions. Much in the same way Palmer, Tony and Michelel, and even Kim gave Bauer depth in terms of motivation for him kicking bad guy ass.

I think that Lex suit from issue #1 might just become relevent here shortly. --------------------------------------------------- The suit is a total red-herring and is supposed to be explained away in an upcoming issue of Teen Titans "ID Crisis Epiloge" tie-in where the Titans find out which lame villain was behind the whole suit selling thing Elongated Man was investigating... As for the killer; cut and pasted from www.kbox.sanityassassins.net/forum (Box in the Box: Radio Free KBOX, a comic book/porn message board I frequent and recommen you guys check out). The following post was posted shortly after ID Crisis #6 came out and was posted by a friend of mine on the forum who is a friend of mine: And in The Flash #215 (the "Identity Crisis Tie-In!" as it's called on the cover, and the most recent issue as of this writing), Wally West reads the letter from Barry Allen, in which Barry confesses that he had Zatanna do mental magic on the Top, to turn him good, which worked for a while, until the Top was overwhelmed by his guilt at all the bad he'd done as a supervillain, and promptly went completely bugfuck insane. Once a human (well, superhuman) member of the Flash's Rogues Gallery, the Top has come back from the dead on any number of occasions by possessing the bodies of living people, among them Barry Allen's father and a clinically brain-dead young man whom he was inhabiting when Barry had Zatanna turn him "good," and whose body the Top left after he started freaking the fuck out and got himself captured by Barry. Brad Meltzer went on record as saying that Geoff Johns' Identity Crisis tie-in issues on The Flash would "completely redefine how comic book crossovers are written," and while that will surely remain gross hyperbole by even the most charitable stretch of the imagination, I had wondered why Meltzer had taken the time to single out Johns' tie-in issues, out of all the titles that were choosing to cross over with Identity Crisis. Roscoe Dillon, a.k.a. the Top, is the Identity Crisis killer. He possessed Captain Boomerang, and the Atom, and every one of the however-many-various-and-sundry superheroes, supervillains and civilian supporting characters he's used to commit these murders. He has motive, he has means, and especially when you consider how many of the developments in Identity Crisis have already been deliberately foreshadowed by Geoff Johns in The Flash (including the magical lobotomization of Doctor Light by all of the reserve-duty members of the Justice League who showed up in the Watchtower after the Spectre erased everyone's memories of Wally West being the Flash), he's been hinted at more than heavily enough. I am so convinced of this theory that, if I am proven wrong in my postulations, I will willingly go to see the next Ben Affleck movie in the theaters. That's how goddamn certain I am on this one.

You're shitting me right? There have been worse endings to Raw and let's be frank, it could have been MUCH worse if they had the show end with someone resolving the double pin ending by stating that HHH keeps the title since Benoit and Edge pin/tapped out....

Brittany getting a greatest hits album is do to one of the oldest negotiation ploys in the industry: when you are one album shy of fullfilling your record contract's "X Number of Albums" requirements, you put out a greatest hits record with one or two new songs and that caps off the albums owed to the label under your contract, making you a free agent....

1. The Bart plot (IE him wanting his party) was poorly done. It had some potential (IE a take on uber-spoiled kids and the way that kids use good grades basically as bribes for special things). But it gets the shaft in order to basically set up a lame sight gag of Marge being so square that she invites her side of the family, Grampa, and the two nerds to the party. Given how anal retentive Bart has been in the past, why wouldn't he have supervised the party planning? 2. The Lisa thing was decent in that they did the topic of body image without going over the top with the preachiness. That being said, it was nice to see Lisa being played as human though the ending, with everyone yammering about how they wanted Lisa to have closure on the issue for the sake of wrapping up all loose ends, was uber lame. 3. The Marge/Nelson plot was ok but frankly, this was a thing that should have had the over-the-top emotion stuff with Nelson's friendship with Marge being highlighted rather than a series of "Nelson is hella-poor" jokes. And the ending, where Nelson's family is magically reunited was a lame cop-out. That being said, it does show the biggest flaw of the series, in that the current crop of writers are basically incapable of writing an episode that actually tugs on the heartstrings like the earlier episodes did.

The cynic in me is thinking they are delaying the release so that they can shill the second printings of GLR #1 (complete with new cover) for a couple extra weeks.

Nash was doing a "breaking the fourth wall" interview with him bitching about the chaos around him on that particular Nitro combined with him actually having the gall to state that his liked things better during that extremely dark period after Benoit and company jumped ship (which led to his often quoten remark of "What happened to the dude who thought he was a dog?") before gettiong jumped by Mike Awesome....

This episode was good in that Parker and Stone went for the least obvious direction for the story. Most people would have made the entire episode focusing on Jimmy vs Cartman over the direction of the show with Jimmy winning everyone over ultimately and having it blow up in his face when his hard relevant news program which actually does social good gets shit rating and gets cancelled/Jimmy and company horribly punished. It was refreshing to see Cartman "get it" and at the same time seeing the kids actually achieve something rather than their cliched psuedo-intellectual pouser crap where they don't mind doing something to make a difference unless someone calls them on names.... Also their cough syrup sub-plot; don't you have to mix cough syrup with other stuff to get high/hallucinate off of cough syrup? Drawn Together was decent but not as good as the last couple of episodes. It seemed like the writers were trying to cram in as many storylines as possible in one episode, which made the episode seemed to cramp. Though how crappy is it that they are already cycling reruns of the series next week. The show's only been on for about four weeks for christ sake!

It was always supposed to be a "fast count" with the overall theme being that the match would be a retred of the 1997 Survivor Series screwjob but with Bret Hart stepping in and using his special referee power that he had that night to "make things right". But the fast count got screwed up (either on purpose via the "Hogan bribed Patrick" theory or do to WCW's usual fucked up luck). That was part of Chris Jericho's initial heel turn. He lost several matches on Nitro and after each match he'd grab a chair and have a temper tantrum in the ring. The following week, before his next match, Jericho would always make a huge ass deal about apologizing for his tantrum the previous week before his match. The apologies were blatantly fake and totally insincere and always ended with Jericho giving what would become his catchphrase as a heel, which was "I'll never, evvvveerrrr do it again". Which would be followed up with a new tantrum and ultimately would evolve in his cheapshotting the various faces he fought until he became a full-fledge heel. Spring 1996. When Hogan left for hiatus after the Three-Cages of Doom Farce, the alliance between the Horsemen and the DOD fell apart with the DOD basically picking on the weakened and half-strength version of the Horsemen (who had lost Brian Pillman). It ultimately came to a head with Mongo joining the team and Flair and company beating the shit out of everyone including Randy Savage/Kevin Green. Imfamous aborted storyline from 1997. Basically Chris Benoit (who at the time was the Red-Headed Stepchild of the Horsemen at the time) would turn against Flair for allowing Jeff Jarrett to join the Horsemen and for letting Jarrett and Mongo feud distract the group from the NWO and gaining the gold. Benoit would quit the Horsemen and decide that he was going to form his own stable called "Apocalypse" upon the notion that the Horsemen were frauds and his group were the real deal. His team would have consisted of Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrerro, and Steven Regal and they would have feuded with the Horsemen in order to get Benoit and company over as top level wrestlers. The storyline was aborted with the reason given that Hogan, Hall, and Nash were to blame. Supposedly they did so because they didn't like the notion of Benoit and company getting a rub from beating up the Four Horsemen like that/a rival group that would take valuable Nitro time from the NWO....

Actual graphics are for posers. 63) Sleep on a portrait painted prettier then everyone. 64) 100 bands from around the world to play in your city. All of them are the world's best hardcore bands. Every label represented, every hardcore genre present. The venue is the best all-ages venue in the world. Tickets are $1.00. It is your job to go around saying the festival should be free. 65) Record producers must make sure to pump the mid because mid is tough. 66) Re-issue your demos after every album. 67) When the band starts playing everybody join hands and make a big circle so we can watch the big kids play. 68) Crying on stage makes you a professional. 69) Complain some more. 70) Album covers must be made at home on Photoshop by your good friend. 71) If you are from New York NEVER smile in a promo pic. In fact always try to cross your arms and look into the camera as if you are going to beat up whom ever is looking. 72) If you are from New Jersey NEVER smile in a promo pic either.

Luger and Sting's wife are supposed to still be bitter enemies over the whole thing though Luger and Sting himself basically kissed and made up. It's been stated that Sting told the WWE, about a year ago when the idea of Sting signing with the WWE was tossed around, that if they wanted to sign him to any sort of deal to join the WWE that they would also have to sign Luger too. Renegade was a Warrior rip-off that was created when they couldn't sign the actual Ultimate Warrior. Was given an uber-push that failed miserably and basically was depushed during one of Hogan's hiatuses right before the NWO angle started. Said depushing plus the general backlash against him and his character ultimately drove the wrestler playing Renegade to suicide.... That particular storyline was hated when it first started out by the net do to the way that it basically killed mysterious nhillist/freak aspect of Raven's character as well as the way that it featured Sandman/Hak being portrayed as a crappy Kramer-esque bumbling neighbor next door. IIRC the storyline was forced on Raven basically to give him something to do since at the time Raven lost his booking power over his angles in the huge creative reshufflings at the time and Raven himself needing some time off do to injuries. It was the first 3 hour Nitro and IIRC also the 100th episode; hence them wanting to do something good the cap off the episode.... Nothing really, since Nash was basically going on a break after running the company into the ground with the Summer of Suck. The return of Russo brought him back basically since his cancer counterpart fell out at the same time Russo returned....

How about the truth: That Bush is a monster personally responsible for over the deaths of over a thousand plus American soldier as well as one who doesn't give a fuck about avenging the deaths of those who died in the 911 attacks?

Most people don't give a shit about national news, but every redneck and white trash person will shit a brick if their favorite show gets pre-empted over something that happened in France. Some regular people just didn't need to know precisely when the scum of the earth died. Hah! Compared to some of the most recent evil right-wing nazi scumfucks running Isreal, Afarat is freaking Mary Fucking Sunshine on the "Scum of the Earth" chart....

Let's look at the build-up for Survivor Series: HHH is complaining loudly at his fallen status on Raw and vows to make everyone pay, just as the entire locker room is finally shown to be standing up to him Randy Orton's face run has been a collossal failure We get a storyline where Eric Bischoff starts acting real nice (or as nice as his character can get and still be bad), tells HHH off, and offers up a stipulation at SS where the winner of RO and friends versus HHH and friends gets t

The Princess is designed after Ariel so I would say she's the basis especially when you take into account how utterly clueless the character is of the outside world (much like Ariel was). As for Foxie, she's a hybrid of Josie and the Pussy Cats and South Park-type mature audience cartoons.

He reappeared at the end of "Red Sleigh Down" (the season finale of season six IIRC) out of the clear blue and was welcomed back by the gang.

The PTC is too busy obsessing over Marcia Cross's character on Desperate Housewives demanding to be fucked by her sexually repressed husband on her uber-clean kitchen table and Julian MacMahon showing his ass every five minutes/engaging in soft-core porn sex sequences on Nip/Tuck to worry about the WWE making fun of baby killing....

Delay or no delay I'm looking forward to the set coming out. One thing good about it is that they've apparently decided to bring back the cast to do commentary ala season one. But the selection of episodes receiving commentaries and who's doing which commentary is extremely puzzling. IIRC doesn't Walt Goggin only appear in two scenes in "Mum"? Also, wouldn't it make more sense to have the season premire (Playing Tight) be the one with the commentary track if they intend on pairing up Chiklis and Michael Jace up for a commentary track? Or in the case of the third disc, why not have the actors do commentary for "Riceburner" instead of "Slipknot", what with the fact that "Slipknot"'s A-Story focuses mainly on Claudette and not the Strike Team?
