Good, good.. The Mall Cineplex Odeon here has by far the best seats (and serves Coke instead of Pepsi!). Besides being a better location for me than the other megaplex, I prefer it in general anyway. The current plan (due to it being in a mall) is to go at 4pm after work, buy tickets for whatever time is available, then wander around or whatever, probably stop in the food court to get dinner (unless we can just get right on in to an afternoon show). Then again my friends are cheap and will probably want to go to the slightly cheaper formerly run-down but recently renovated 3 screen theatre downtown. That's not my ideal viewing location for a Star Wars film.

Rock's reign was 266 days so 54 more to go.

I'm pretty pumped... a random mall visit revealed that the Cineplex Odeon here is showing Episode III. This is good news to me as otherwise I would have had to go to the Famous Players theatre which, despite recent commercial development, is still out in the middle of nowhere in this city when you don't drive. I could have bought a midnight ticket too (unless the machine prompted me to sotp by saying "sorry, this showing is sold out" after the fact) but I wasn't with anyone, I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and I figure I can just go from work to the mall tomorrow afternoon with some friends. Canadians, is Famous Players and Cineplex Odeon showing the same movie at the same time a usual occurrence in your area(s)? This is one of the first times it's been done in this city.

Speaking of Super Stacy, any chance SImon Dean and Maven will be known as the Purple Cobras and challenge the Average Joe superheros to a round of dodgeball for the tag titles? No? ok.

According to the spoilers on WO.com, Angle was banned from the building for attempted rape. This angle is so awful.

Hey! Nothing you can say! Will change what Lita did to Matt. While I'm sure there could have been less "wrong" ways to to the turn, Lita had to turn heel. You can't go on having her as a face while the fans dump on you. JR's rant gave me a good laugh, too. Yes, this sucks for Matt, but life will go on for everyone in the end.

To confirm this, an ad during Raw on TSN said June 7th

Thanks... funny thing with Orton is they were making claims about his reign that weren't even true (calling it the lognest reing in 7 years when it would have only been 6) about a month before he lost it. Now Shelton can claim to have held the belt the longest since 1998 and no one has said a word. He's got 55 more days he's been the longest champ since the 1980s

Woah woah woah... woah. Hold the phone, kids. A real life incident being used for the purspoes of a wrestling angle in totally tasteless fashion? Good lord, Matt Hardy is on to something here folks. What is WWE thinking with this bold new direction of capitilizing on true to life disasterpieces? Sgt. Slaughter is rolling over in his sleep just thinking about it.

The Raw Volunteer Brigade will consist of Coach, Lawler, and Bischoff bumbling around until they get destroyed

If liking or disliking a wrestler was to be based soley on their personal life and unprofessional conduct then we'd hate everyone. If people don't like Edge because they never have, fine, but no one is crying for Kevin Sullivan over what Benoit did to him 9 years ago. The "ECW Rules" thing reminded me of Klassic Kurt. As I'm sure you all recall, Raven challenged Angle to an "ECW Rules" match. Kurt accepted but made it clear that ECW doesn't rule, WWF does.

Wonder if we'll get Simon/Maven vs Superheroes tonight or if such a high caliber match is being saved for Vengeance (which is like 6 weeks away). Also wondering if we'll get any "Eric Bischoff is mad at the ECW PPV" advancement. An annoucned date for the Draft would be pretty super, too.

Quick question: Shelton vs Maven at NYR, one match or two?

Any 1800s Raw tonight?

Much thanks for doing the follow-up line I was hoping someone would do Anyway, Candace is the girl from the Taxi Driver WM commercial / GoDaddy Superbowl ad. Meltzer said WWE would be insane to not capitalize on that and sure enough they had her o nthe Highlight Reel wasting time and contributing nothing. Hope Da Meltz was happy.

It would be a bit of a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Outoftheloop (we may have to bleep their names) who aren't aware of why people are chanting something about Matt during Edge matches and Lita appearances.

Good news, everyone. "super-sexy Christy will face the gorgeous Candice in a Lingerie Pillow Fight. Christy has had great success in this match in the past. Which Diva will come out on top?" Everyone loves these, right?

Jericho turns on Shelton, Daivari pins him. Next week Hassan gives Daivari a chance to prove himself in an IC title match against Benjamin but he fails, furthering that angle. Jericho attacks Benjamin post match. Later Hassan gives a beatdown to Daivari but Benjamin makes the save. Daivari realizes the error of his ways and says he could learn to love America. He is then drafted to Smackdown to join the CWs. Flair loses to Christian. Flair is pretty angry that HHH was not there to be of any help due to his thick headed walk out plan. Tensions brew between Flair and HHH for the next few shows, Flair finally turns face and goes to SmackDown to feud with JBL. Edge defeats Kane when Lita turns on Kane. Lita explains she always has and always will hate Kane but thanks him for his assistance in riding her of Trish Stratus. To play off the Matt chants, Edge/Lita will reference that situation and relate it to what has happened to Kane. Edge will almost win the title from Batista next week but HHH will make his return and pedigree everyone, rendering the match a no contest. Edge will be angry but rest easy knowing he came close to winning and still has a guaranteed world title shot coming up. He will then be drafted to SmackDown making his Raw title shot null and void.

I recall the heel turn and the boring gimmick. As I recall, the beat the LOD which was a huge deal... then vanished. Very sad. I believe they were used as talent exchange with ECW and interfered in the RVD/Dreamer "WWF vs ECW - Winner flys the company flag" match (which is on the RVD DVD)

I take it I'm the only person that watches and enjoys KOTH since most people only talk about the 2 hour block between 8 and 10, ignoring that KOTH exists too. But then again, Fox ignored the show's existence almost all this season and it was a surprise to me that it's even coming back next season (albeit what will probably end up the final one).

So is the deal with American Dad that it has different guest stars as CIA co-workers? I was happy to hear Stephen Root in the first episode but apparently that was it. Now Patrick Stewart was all up in there. I don't know of this is considered spoiling so I'll just play it safe According to the episode guide on TVTome, Family Guy has a 3 episode story arc starting in 2 weeks. A review I read of last night's episode stated how great the show has been and "they haven't even got to the movie episodes yet". Would the 3 parter be the DVD movie that was intended before a whole season got picked up?

Good review as usual... I only started reading / noticing these aorund MArch so I look forward to next week's big ass bash to see what I've missed. Celebrity Jeopardy was awesome and that Conclave deal was good once it got going. As for that Smigel cartoon, my reaction to it was pretty much the same as the children characters in it. Interesting though.

Wow that was a great episode "Bonnie, you've ben pregnant for like 6 years now, either have the kid or don't" The ending just got my more hyped for Episode III
