    This is lame and pointless. Everyone hates remakes, yeah, we know. Why not do a list of the best remakes? That would be interesting and might require some thought.

     

    Come to think of it, there really aren't many good ones. If multiple adaptations count, Maltese Falcon and the LOTR movies would be at the top—I don't think they should, though. Jackson's King Kong really was good.

    The Conversation when Gene Hackman walks onto the balcony and the very second he walks out, a body and blood slams against the wall between him and the next door causing him to go mental.

     

    The moment when he flushes the toilet is the scariest thing I've ever seen in a movie. People always say they were afraid to take a shower after seeing Psycho, and I always thought that was a crock, until I watched this. I was honest to God scared of flushing the toilet.

    Bwa ha ha. Looks like I may have been too optimistic (pessimistic?) in picking Boris -- if you can live to 106, why not 107? And Jason Becker is apparently in the studio recording new material. Oh well, I should be alright if no one ever dies again.

    Now, it's time to look back at Show's past. Most reading this realize he got his start in World Championship Wrestling, as he debuted nearly a year before the highly touted turning point in the Monday night wars -- the creation of the New World Order. In the beginning, times were fun, according to the Show, but also not without their pitfalls, as he relates in a humorous story about performing a moonsault.

     

    "It was pretty goofy. The only problem was that I don't think anybody wanted to lay underneath of me when I landed. We were screwing around with it, and one of the upper-echelon in WCW at the time pretty much reamed my ass out for doing that. I was a rookie at the time, and didn't really know how to stand up for myself. Basically, they told me I had no business being on the top rope at all; I was a ground attacker, and I was a tank, so stay off the tope rope. Dallas (Page) and Terry Taylor (put him up to it), and it was one of those collective 'you've got so much athleticism show it.' So I did, and I got my ass chewed out right after it. I haven't actually hit somebody with it, but it was a glorified miss."

     

    Jesus. I always thought it was just an urban myth.
