Cheex Incarnate

It's not working for me! god damnit! I keep clicking on it, but nothing is happeneing! what the hell?! -Cheex

hunter finish is really a two part thing 1. lose by dq or something like that the first go around 2. beat the same guy with the pedigree anyway -cheex

According to various sources (gamespot, IGN) some video game company who has a record for making games out of movies (Italian Job, etc.) just bought the rights to make the first Reservoir Dogs based video game for X-Box and PS2. Now i'm probably one of the bigger Tarantino fans out there, but this can go one of two ways. Its either going to suck tremendously and slightly tarnish the movie's image, or it will rule all and I will cream my pants at the thought of being Mr. Blonde while cutting Marvin Nash's ear off. But my bet leads to it sucking. They're going to have to embelish on the movie quite a bit because the film is mostly the characters arguing, you never even see the actual robbery. If they do add scenes to make it more playable, I hope Q-Tip himself lends a hand in writing at least some of it. Fingers crossed that it wont suck. Oh yeah, there's going to be a Kill Bill game too. -Cheex

Benoit doesn't count with me. Everywhere I look people count his WCW Title win as the actual history. -Cheex

Me, well I loved the movie. But my opinion is a tad biased based on the facts that A) I cream my pants at the sight of Robert Duvall, and B) i've been genuinely interested in the Civil War for a few years. I own the Gettysburg DVD already (god, i hate flippers), and I will pick this up soon. The four hour movie is a trial to sit all the way through and watch, but overall I still thought it was a beautifully made film. Any thoughts (braces self for onslaught of smarks hating the plodding, war movie ) -Cheex

Sorry if i I sound computer illiterate, but now that i've downloaded all the pics and logos and stuff, how do I put them on my EWR once it comes out? Thanks -Cheex

Well, Pirates was a watchable and enjoyable movie to say the least, but I guess some of the plotholes keeps me from proclaiming it great. *SPOILERS!* *************************************************** Why didn't Will Turner just give the coin over with maybe a vile of blood? That way they could fight regular pirates instead of undead super pirates. Why do the undead pirates even bother swashbuckling with their good guy counterparts? Thy can't feel pain, right? If they dumped Will Turner's dad in the ocean after they were cursed, wouldn't that mean he just stayed at the bottom of the ocean not dead, because he was cursed too ***************************************************** Sorry if that sounded like nitpicking, but I do want it to be known that I did enjoy the movie, just it could have been tweaked a little. -Cheex

Well, if the old adage "they come in three's" stays true then the cycle has ran through twice this year. Gregory Peck Katherine Hepburn David Brinkley Buddy Hacket Barry White Buddy Epson D'amn. -Cheex

I just want to say for the record that it's because of Taxi Driver that I have a mohawk right now. -Cheex

does this mean that if i'm TNA and i pick Dames as the reviewer, i wont get the results until a week later? -Cheex

I'm a huge mark for the original Halo and the 2nd one will kick even more ass if that is possible. Just look around the internet for videos and screenshots and you too will be AMAZED!. -Cheex

Allow me to elaborate on some of the more speculative choices I made when making the list; Scott Hall: Why is it that Kevin Nash has held titles in both promotions, and has consistantly been fighting for the world title since 1995 when Hall has had very, very few world title fueds? Not to say that I was calling for a Razor Ramon vs. Bob Backlund match, but you have to admit for how popular he was at certain moments and how Vince had an devoted hard on for him for a short time, the man has been pretty jilted when it comes to world title matches. Dynamite Kid: Yes he was mainly a tag wrestler, yes he was always on the lower end of the card, but who in their right mind wouldn't have loved to see the original tactition in the ring fighting for the premier belt? Rob Van Dam: At the height of its popularity RVD WAS ECW. There is no denying that. He put on great match after great match with Jerry Lynn, Rhyno, Justin Credible, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer. He was primed for his first world title program with Mike Awesome before he tore up his leg. In WWF/E he was immediately taken by the fans as one of their own. I've never seen a crowd accept a new face that quickly, but Vince did nothing to capitilize on it. He had that one main event at No Mercy and his debacle of a fued with HHH. The man at least deserved an ECW world belt. Brian Pillman: Had he no died so early in life (RIP), he would have risen along with Steve Austin as one of the federation's top players. His fued with Stone Cold helped usher in the Attitude era and as Austin would rise to the top, so would have Brian Pillman. Its a shame he never got that chance to prove himself. Some say he was too small, but HBK is no bigger than he is. Davey Boy Smith: During his run in WCW in the late 80's he took part in a number of world title matches, but never could secure a win. When he returned to the WWF he was again placed at the top of the card, but a stupid pairing with Lex Luger ruined him for that stint. His second return to the motherland he was immediatly treated as main event material, as he was placed in the 6 Pack Challenge at Unforgiven, but again he was paired with horrible team mates and slipped into Mean Street Posse obscurity. In retrospect, I suppose I could have made a few better replacements (Blanchard, Magnum TA, McDaniel) but now I at least feel my list is justified.) -Cheex

I saw one of the SNL parodies of Don West. It was Ferrel in a black wig and mustache screaming about how there was no way in hell that he was going to let the people buy a Michael Jordan trading card plaque for such a low deal. Priceless stuff. It was the one where Robert Downey Jr. was the host. -Cheex (the should-be-main eventer of the century)

I almost put Hennig, but then I remembered he won the AWA title sometime in the late 80s I believe. -Cheex

6 guys to do it every year wouldn't be too hard. This year if they kept it all RAW again they could have; Triple H, Goldberg, Kane, Chris Jericho, The Rock (if he's back), and Kevin Nash. SmackDown could do; Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Big Show, Rhyno, and any other of their awesome talent pool. Or they could make Survivor Series a RAW vs. SmackDown! PPV where they each pick teams to face off in the Chamber -Cheex

I watched, and my bed is thoroughly caked in semen.......i mean....nothing. Anyway, I loved it. James Woods was pretty funny, as was the gypsy cab driver. -Cheex

Man, Choken One really gets a hard on for ruining post that try to start a conversation about something that pertains to WRESTLING. Sorry, Choken One, but we don't want to talk about how much Triple H is holding people down, or how Nash is going to rip his knee to shreds when he walks. This is no different than when comic book fans discuss conflicting storylines in their respective series. Last time I looked, there was a forumn on this very sight that allows people to do that. How about you go pollute their pleasure by dismissing everything they say as stupid and pointless. We all know its just a show. But it's a show that we all enjoy, so why not talk about something that involves how the show is percieved. If you don't want to talk about it, don't. No one is making you. You may call us marks for talking about lineage and what not, but we're all marks in some way, otherwise we wouldn't be here. So my advice to you, Choken One, is to stop replying to stuff if you're just going to rain on everybody's parade, and shut the fuck up. Sorry about that Steviekick, I'll talk about the topic now. It is my opinion that the WWE is really reaching to make their title's seem legit. I do not consider this incarnation of the US title to be part of WCW's lineage. WCW's US title lineage was absorbed by the WWE IC title, which was absorbed by the RAW World Title. So, with that knowledge every title that is on WWE programming right now begins and ends with WWE, except the Cruiserweight title, which is WCW's creation. -Cheex

Whenever the WWE reinstated the IC title, i dont know about you but I always considered it an entity outside of the original, which is now part of the World Title. That said, I would venture to say that the "World Title" is also a WWE only title, and should not include WCW's past. WCW's World title history is not part of the SmackDown version of the world title, while RAW's world title has the Intercontinental title's lineage (which has Hardcore, European, and WCW US). SmackDown's new US title should also not be considered a continuation of WCW's past. The original US title is part of RAW's World title. The only title that has anything to do with WCW's old history is the cruiserweight title. Now that i've thoroughly confused you all to get something off my chest, i bid you good day. -Cheex

Now, I'm sure we've all had something to do with a little Schumacher bashing here and there, adn all of it is well deserved. But one annoying fact has gone ignored long enough. Yesterday when I was watching Batman Forever there is a helicopter chase and at the end, the Two- Face's helicopter crashes into THE STATUE OF LIBERTY?! Now, call me crazy, bu New York City is NOT Gotham City. Jesus I hate Schumacher. -Cheex = Joel Friggin' Schumacher

Hello all. Now, I'm not 100% sure on this, but a pretty good number of DVD sites are saying that in mid-late September they will re-release Scarface in special edition format with new audio and visual transfers. I think I speak for all of us (especially Dames) when I say; THANK GOD! I have the OOP version and the audio is really bad, and the special features leave alittle to be desired. Here's hoping they will have De Palma/Stone commentary track. -Cheex "I'M TONY MONTANA! JOU FUCK WIT ME, JOU FUCKIN WIT THE BEST!"

Ok, ok, ok. Now While you aren't going to find a bigger Godfather fan than me (i'm even on a GF message board) Godfather Part III is nowhere near the top of the list of great gangster movies. One, it's not really as much about the mob as the first two. It's about Michael Corleone's ultimate tragedy. Really, the only mob influence in the movie is Joey Zasa (Joe Montegna's character) and the fact that Vincent Mancini (Any Garcia) is weasaling his way into a position of power. Nut all in all, it's a story about Michael. Also, The Untouchables is not really a gangster movie in the classic sense of the word. It's more of a police epic and this is apparent in the score and the main characters. Heck, DeNiro is in the movie for all of 15 minutes. If you really want to make a list of top gangster movies, look no further to the early James Cagney movies, and Little Caesar. Oh yeah, the movie Scarface with Pacino is actually a remake of a prohibition era gangster movie called Scarface: Shame of the Nation. Just a little info for all you Scarface marks like myself. -Cheex

IMO, Scarface is a tiny bit better than Goodfellas, followed closely by Casino. Casino is lowest because (let's face it) it was just a cheap re-hash of Goodfellas. A good kind of re-hash though . That aside, I totally second coming out with a SE of Scorsese's two. The flipper disc on my Goodfellas sucks major ass. -Cheex

I myself have been a pretty consistant Met' fan since I heard AMster of Puppets. I have all of their albums, including the Binge & Purge box set. I saw a video for one of their songs on thier new CD St. Anger (their first studio album in a good 5 years, i think). The song seemed pretty disjointed, and obviously a retreat from older Metallica. I'll buy it just to have it and the DVD it comes with. Anyone else? -Cheex

Usually when you just type in "Godfather theme" on kazaa or something, you can get it. I got it, and I also got some cool G'n'R cover of it. enjoy. -Cheex

Personally, here's my top ten hero/villian list: Hero: Don Corleone (Marlon Brando)- The Godfather Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster)- Silence of the Lambs Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino)- Carlito's Way Captain Willard (Martin Scheen)- Apocalypse Now Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson)- Chinatown Randal Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson)- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NEst Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino)- Dog Day Afternoon Jesus Christ (Willem Dafoe)- Last Temptation of Christ Mr. White (Harvey Kietel)- Reservoir Dogs Edward Norton- Fight Club Villians: Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins)- Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)- The Godfather Part II Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis)- Gangs of New York Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro)- Taxi Driver Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando)- Apocalypse Now Max Cady (Robert DeNiro)- Cape Fear thats all I can think of right now. I wanted to put in Tony Montant from Scarface, but couldn't decide if he was hero or villian. -Cheex
