Lil' Bitch

PG-13? How is that going to work?

The Debate Is Over The WWE’s newly released special issue magazine,”The Complete History of Champions” is in stores now. On page 25 in the upper right hand corner while discussing the title’s history the text reads as follows: ”Triple H Awarded The Title With Brock Lesner taking his title exclusively to Smackdown, the Superstars of RAW were going to need something to fight for. So GM Eric Bischoff resurrected the WCW Championship, renaming it the World Heavyweight Championship and simply handed it to Triple H.” Case closed! The WWE has now officially admitted what I’ve said from the start. The WCW and WHC World titles are one and the same. Go out and get a copy right away so that you will always have official documentation to show any remaining non-believers. The legacy of the WCW Championship lives on!

Damn shame about Goldust. I hope he gets better and comes back. Nice! I called it!

If your ex was getting married, would you attend the wedding?

which means she knows how to give good head.

Welcome to The REAL Simple Life, bitch!

Brock's lucky his original opponent couldn't fight him.

RVD should have just jobbed to Orton last night. I don't see what the big deal is here.

This was debated in the other CWDWAT thread, but according to the news mill, this was the official Vengeance 2007 Poster, but it'll be changed since Undertaker is injured unless they photoshop Edge in his place.

Are there any more extras on the Blockbuster version of WM 23 besides the Trump / McMahon contract signing and the 8 Man Tag match from ECW? The extras on the regular Backlash 2007 DVD are:

How did the Benoit / MVP feud start? Not only was Angle far away, but Lesnar was already very tired at that point in the match. When he did it in OVW I don't believe he has as long, and as rough matches as the one he had with Angle when he botched the SSP. Not to mention that I'm sure his nerves had a bit to do with it - there he was, in the main event of Wrestlemania, winning the match, beating Kurt Angle, at such an early stage of his young career. Yeah, in a 2003 interview with Pro Wrestling Illustrasted following Judgment Day of that year, Lesnar said he was too tired which is what caused him to botch the move. But in WWE Unscripted, IIRC Lesnar said Angle being too far away was something Kurt did on purpose.

I'm still waiting for the epic Cena / McMahon feud to happen. I'm surprised they haven't already, excluding the one time on SD many years ago (I think it was the one following SSeries actually) where Cena insulted Sable and McMahon, out of retaliation, booked Cena against Big Show for the main event with Cena winning. Edit: Found the segment

Meh. don't really care about this PPV. The only match I'm interested is the tag titles match and they should have saved that for Vengeance.

Well the new album is finally here and after listening to it, it certainly is different. It's got some of the hard rock elements from their Nu-Metal days, and it's got a surprising amount of softer songs (which I really enjoyed but many fans will probably be disappointed). So here's my review: "Wake" is a cool intro, it's a lot different than what Linkin Park has done to start their other 3 albums. Starting with crackling sounds like an old vinyl record playing, numerous other sounds come in and build-up as eventually the band's instruments come to life to get the album going. "Given Up" has some great pieces of hard rock which I like, but I think the intro clapping-like sounds are stupid and I HATE the cursing. I always thought Linkin Park was a cool group for not needing to curse to have some powerful songs, and they just threw that out the window on this song. The latter half of Given Up is VERY loud and angry which I know a lot of people will like it, but I don't. I'm not emo enough to listen to that part of the song in public. "Leave Out All The Rest" is a GREAT song, I love it! It's a softer song along the lines of "My December" (it sounds totally different, but it's the same kind of easy-going song), and I found myself reminiscing about my past when listening to this song. I hope this song gets a lot of radio play as this shows some of Chester's great vocal ability. The song reminds me a lot of Saliva's "Rest In Pieces" song. "Bleed It Out" made me think of a country ho-down when it started (it's got clapping and a lot of people in the background hootin' and hollering). Bleed It Out also marks Mike's first appearance on the album and I'm not sure what genre this song would go into. It's got Mike rapping (kind of) and Chester doing his thing, lots of clapping in the background, and it's a fast paced song (and short too, only about two and half minutes). "Shadow of The Day" is another slower song, and very different from anything Linkin Park has done before. Chester goes solo on this song as well. It starts out with low tone beats and fills out with some violin and electronic sounds, later on the drums come in. I really like this song too, but if I came across it on the radio I wouldn't have thought it was Linkin Park, so many fans might not like it. It reminds me of a band called Audio Adrenaline. This is one of the longest songs on the album clocking in at 5 minutes. "What I've Done" everyone already knows about. Another song I like! And many people will like it since it sounds the most like Linkin Park's previous albums out of the rest of the new songs. "Hands Held High" is song number 2 with Mike (3 if you count his background on What I've Done), more unneeded cursing, starts with some church-like organ, drummer boy percussion, and features background chorus from non-Linkin Park singers. Mike puts out some nice lyrical work here, and Chester comes in at the halfway point. This is a VERY POLITICAL song, which is critical of many of the things going on involving the United States in various places in the world. Cut the cursing and I believe this would be a more powerful song. This song didn't work for me though, felt too much like a song that could have been done by the Beatles or U2 just based on the song's melody. "No More Sorrow" is a hard rock song with Chester doing his thing. I haven't soaked up the lyrics yet so I can't really say what it's about, but Linkin Park is angry about people with money (maybe another song bashing President Bush?). I was surprised by how abruptly it ended, it just stopped. Another Mike Shinoda drought on this song (I didn't hear a peep out of him), but other than that, its definitely my favorite song on the album since it reminds me why I became a Linkin Park fan to begin with. "Valentine's Day" is another softer song, not surprising based on the title alone. People listening to this song will probably be able to name a dozen bands that sound just like this, not to say it's not a good song, but it does sound familiar. I do like the song and the second half is really good when it kicks into higher gear. "In Between" is Mike's biggest song, and it's the first time he's ever just sung lyrics; there's no hip-hop coming from Mike on this song, it's just him out there singing. This is a softer song as well and it's very melodic. I like this song too, but again, it could easily be mistaken for a non-Linkin Park song, and unfortunately it's somewhat repetitive and easy to forget which part of the song you're at. "In Pieces" reminds me of Reanimation a bit, it's got lots of sound effects and about three quarters of the way through the song guitars will come out in full force (similar to the slow build ups in Reanimation), and is another Chester-only song. This is a good song and is very active and it sounds like it has a guest singer behind Chester but I don't know who. This song had another abrupt ending. "The Little Things Give You Away" has a very soft-singing Chester start things off. Things build up consistently throughout the song and there is another big guitar piece here. This is also VERY political based on the lyrics, mainly influenced by the events in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. This is the longest song Linkin Park has ever done on an album clocking in at 6 minutes 25 seconds, and Mike is mostly absent from it until the second half. The tone and lyrics don't work with Chester though, it feels more like a song that should have given to perform by a diva. Final song of the CD. iTunes is going to release an exclusive song called "No Roads Left". Well, Linkin Park did accomplish one thing they laid out, and that's to totally change their sound. This is, for the most part, nothing like Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, or Meteora. It'll be easy to spot these songs on the radio based solely on Chester's voice, but aside from that these are quite different from previous songs. There are songs here which are hard rock for the Nu-Metal LP fans out there, and there are lots of songs for people, like me, who have always enjoying LP's lighter and more lyrics songs like "My December" and "Numb". I really like "Shadow Of The Day", it's just a very enjoyable song and the sound is smooth with some great lyrical work from Chester. I've only listened to the album about a half dozen times through and I'm still soaking up the meaning of the songs, and perhaps I've missed Mike's contributions on some songs, but I was still surprised by how little he seems to appear. On the previous albums I always enjoyed how LP mixed opposites, they'd have hard rock pieces with Chester and the hip hop element with Mike, I thought that formula worked. On this album however it's hard to guess where'd Mike will come in and what Chester will do. I guess you could say it's a more seamless sound in the songs. Also, I imagine Joe Hahn must have been bored out of his mind at times, there are very few instances of his trademark turntable work ("What I've Done" would seem to be his biggest song), but I'm sure he did lots of the artwork and that he'll be in charge of Linkin Park's music videos for this album as well. One thing I was expecting based solely on the title was a kind of story being told throughout the album. When I heard the title would be Minutes to Midnight I thought it might be a build up to a huge song at the end, with a common meaning linking all of the songs together. But that's not present, and even though the last song is the biggest, there isn't a noticeable theme to the album. Three of the songs do have political contexts which are decidedly critical of the Bush administration, and while the members of Linkin Park are entitled to their opinion, I don't appreciate artists trying to shove a political statement in my face. I want to be able to just listen to a song and enjoy it, not to hear political propaganda. Besides, when the United States' involvement in Iraq is wrapped up (and when President Bush leaves office), those 3 political songs will lose their relevance and eventually people will begin to forget their meaning. All-in-all this is an okay album with some enjoyable songs, and even though it's very different from previous efforts I'm sure real Linkin Park fans will come to love it while alienating other fans of the band at the same time. I hated Reanimation when I first listened to it, but it really grew on me and I think that's what might happen with Linkin Park fans when they first listen to Minutes to Midnight.

Whats more important when it comes to a champion to you guys, the length of how long he's held a title or the number of times he's won it?

Superman: Speeding Bullets from DC's Elseworlds, its Superman with Batman's backstory (except the Waynes find Kal-El instead. They name him Bruce and raise him until they get gunned down by the mugger, etc.) so basically you get to read Batman using Superman's powers. Its so cool. Definitely one of the best issues of DC's version of What If? since Superman: Kal and Superman: Red Son

Is Pirates 3 being shown in theatres 24 / 7 this weekend like Spider-Man 3 was on its opening weekend?

LOL, actually I did that. I came back late at night and told the supervising clerk that I bought the regular WM 23 and the special tin WM 23 thinking they were two different things. I didn't have the receipt, but she believed me seeing how the security label was not tampered with and gave me store credit for it. I went ahead and bought Brian Pillman's DVD (which is very good I might) all the while keeping HBK's DVD, which is also pretty good.

There's 4 different editions of WM 23: 1.) The regular 2-disc set, which is barebones. 2.) The Limited Ultimate Edition - The really cool tin box containing the 3 disc set. Disc 1 is the PPV, Disc 2 is Cena Vs. Michaels and a shitload of extras listed below, and disc 3 is the 2007 Hall of Fame. 3.) The Wal-Mart Offer - WM 23 2-disc set that comes with Shawn Michaels' From The Vault DVD (I was so disappointed since I thought it was going to come with the Ultimate Edition instead) 4.) The Blockbuster Version - it has different extras on disc 2 including the 8 man Extreme Rules Tag Match from ECW and the Trump / McMahon contract signing. If anybody has any more info on other extra with the BB version, please share.

Congrats to Chris Benoit for being the longest reigning US Champion at 222 days since the title was reinstated, beating Orlando Jordan's record of 173 days.

Yeah, like the other guy said, they didn't want Katie back was because the people in charge felt her overexposed relationship with Crazy Cruise hurt the box office performance of BB. I hated the character anyway, I hope she dies in TDK. If that's the real picture of Joker's face, I have to give kudos to Nolan and the make-up ward. I guess he really is emphasizing on Batman being in a realistic setting.

Well, Rocky was good because it was believable, but when I heard Stallone wanted to be Rambo again, I thought to myself "Okay, now THAT is pushing it!", but after seeing that footage, I think I'll refrain from shitting / praising it until the movie comes out.

I thought the Piper DVD was fun to watch, pretty cool how much extras they added to the disc. I got the exclusive version from Circuit City. Sadly though, the 4th disc is only 12 minutes long containing 6 extra Piper's Pit segments. Is Royal Rumble 2007 the first PPV Blockbuster started with the exclusive disc attached? I might have to start buying from them now.
