  1. The fans who go to ROH shows and then go on the message board and whine and whine about people in the crowd who pissed them off. If someone is really bothering you that much, either let it go and just enjoy the show, or tell them to shut the fuck up. Too many ROH fans don't seem to get that some people enjoy going to the shows and interacting with the wrestlers and taunting them.
  2. Dr. Evil was already pretty much good in the second movie, so I didn't mind his change of heart. Michael Caine was awesome, if only for his line: There are two things that make me angry. People intolerent of other people's cultures....and the Dutch. Come on, the first 10 minutes are classic! The big flaw with the Powers series is that he wanted to be likes James Bond and get a different girl for each movie, not realising that Elizabeth Hurley was the perfect foil and that Heather Graham's only redeeming quality was Beyonce made her look a lot less awful. I've never seen any of the other movies. Cheaper 2 is better.
  3. I LOVE Fiona Apple's version of Across the Universe. The one by Rufus Wrainwright is okay.
  4. Shopgirl was a good film. And of course I loved Cheaper 2, but I'm biased.
  5. Nah, Myers made Goldmember much better by reducing Fat Bastard and adding the Goldmember character. That and actually giving Austin something to do, after how horrible he was in Spy Who Shagged Me.
  6. I saw Pink Panther. It wasn't as bad some of the critics were saying, but it wasn't that good either. Beyonce was awful
  7. ROH needed to have a bad show??? WTF?? Why, did they need to lose money or something?
  8. Wow, who knew I was right that the Briscoes showing up at 2/25 was better then the surprise?
  9. Just because WWE and TNA's mystery opponents suck, doesn't mean that ROH gets a free pass or anything. I'm a huge ROH fan but if there's one thing that promotion can't do- it's mystery opponents and surprises. The last cool ROH surprise was when Nana brought Jimmy Rave back. And at the time, that kinda sucked too.
  10. This reminds me of when they had a mystery opponent for AJ, and everyone was like: Well it's Petey Williams. And then it was... Petey Williams.
  11. Pretty much so, unless of course you suck as a writer. Yeah. Many times it just depends on the editor's style or preference. Other times they just might not like you. For example, when I worked as a copy editor at a weather service agency, the bitch I had to work with would ALWAYS change things I'd consider to be "OK." However, when I would make changes to her material, she would go apeshit. The only times I would change her stuff was when it was in direct "violation" of the AP book. For example, AP style tells you never to use "towards" but instead use "toward." One time I had the nerve to make this change and she threw a fucking fit. And the reason she hated me? Because I replaced someone who replaced someone she liked. Yes, that was the reason. Currently I produce our organization's montly publication, and despite being constantly told by my readership that this publication under my direction has been the best it has ever been, my one dickhead boss always makes it seem that I'm one mistake away from losing my job (He did my job for years before getting a promotion, and then the guy I replaced was on the job for seven years). The last issue I did he threw a fit about how I had the bylines and went on to say how horrible they were and needed to be redone. I think the reason he did this was to because he wanted "payback" regarding a different incident that took place between us before that (basically I had worked for 1-2 months on a project and sent it out without letting him take all the credit for it). I then presented to him more than seven examples of "inconsistent" by-lines (bolded, unbolded, different font sizes, etc.) that were in an issue back in 2003 (before I started working at this place) which were in the span of just several pages. That shut him up (for about two days). I can picture kkk at work, and it's funny. I hate the CP book (The Canadian equivalent of the AP book) There's so much random stupid stuff in there that we have to know, or else we might fail our articles. The Sun is pretty nice about changing my articles. For the most part, they don't do much, and most of their changes are justified. My one issue with them is having to come up with a cute jazzy headline for every story. That gets tiring, especially when you have to write about squash and women's hockey like I hav.
  12. I hate curling, it's one of the few sports I cannot watch. Kwan pulling out sucks, but I'm glad I didn't go with my bias and pick her to win gold in the Sun Olympic preview.
  13. It's still stupid, especially the DQ finish. It's Xavier- job him. Sounds like ROH's first bad show since NOTG 2
  14. In Justice is pretty awful. Even though it has the nun from JOA.
  15. That's the surprise? That sucks
  16. No
  17. Wow, so far I'm doing pretty well on my predictions
  18. So were Maeby and George Michael really married? Wouldn't they have to get a marriage license? I was sad we didn't get any more appearances from Kitty or Barry. The jokes about Tobias being a Nellie were also very funny.
  19. I know the fans will probably eat up Heyman cutting a shoot promo, but I think it'd be disappointing. I want the surprise to be a great wrestling match, not two guys going at it on the mic. And a lethal lottery or RR would be the suck.
  20. Bob Barron, you're from Ontario and/or New York. You're not going to be buried to "Freebird," if you're indeed following up other people's "at my funeral, play" posts. I have a lot of Southern roots, so I'm sure I could get away with Freebird. But they already did it in Elizabethtown, so pass. I'd want City of Blinding Lights played at my funeral though. Or something funny that has nothing to do with me dying.
  21. Yea but it would be lame to me. Is Heyman going to wrestle? No. He'll just cut some shoot promo that takes potshots at everyone. That's lame.
  22. Paul Heyman showing up would be pretty lame. I think we're at the point that almost anything would be a letdown
  23. What an awesome ending. I'm gonna miss that show

    NHL Thread

    The Sun picked them to finish in 7th and I got into some arguments about that. Team USA looks really bad
  25. I've been listening to that song a lot recently, great stuff. I would pick Free Bird but Elizabethtown already used it.
