That was gold. Do you have any of the Angle-Austin stuff. My favourite was when they met Torrie Wilson or when Kurt convinced Austin that Debra was the problem
-
Austin: You're 275 pounds - your name is Hugh Morrus. What? Your name is...Hugh Morrus. What? Is that funny? Is that humourous? Are you here to make me laugh? What? You're PATHETIC! LOOK AT ME! You're pathetic! God- there are so many Austin heel quotes from 2001. I loved when Angle introduced himself to Torrie and said: Hi I'm Kurt Angle ::pauses:: Olympic Gold Medalist

Well I was sans tampon then. And Bill O'Reilly seemed to like me. And he doesn't spin. You have shitty taste in people who have taste in you. Bill Clinton seemed to like me. He's a Democrat. The only celebrity I ever met with the tampon in my pocket was Chris Parnell from SNL. I invited him to play standby golf. He politely declined

Magic Johnson announcing he has AIDS The OJ verdict I could see them putting Mets v. Braves from Shea after 9.11 or Vladmir Konstantinov being wheeled onto the ice to hold the cup

I think I'm the only one who truly finds a tampon funny. I think my friends find it funny that I find stuff like that to be really really funny and cool And yes- I'm incredibly immature.

Odd- I didn't notice The Rock's name on there. Thanks for posting that Loss

To quote people on the Baseball Hall of Fame: It's the Hall of Fame. Not the Hall of Very Good. Who else has been inducted Loss?

My friend found one in her bag and I thought it'd be really funny to carry it around in my pocket all day. Then someone dared me to put it in my mouth for a picture. I said yes.

What are the rules regarding the WON HOF?? Who would vote for Angle? Is it just people who believe everything Meltzer says when he constantly sucks his dick?
-
What's up with Sting? The guy WAS WCW from 1988-2001 yet he only gets 21 votes, while Angle gets in for having three great years.

This is the more infamous picture of me and said tampon- And in all fairness- I did shave after the Leafs lost to the Flyers.

Survivor Series is in Cleveland I think

Taker and JBL's whole careers were not resting on that one match. Is Taker going to get fired because of it? No. Is JBL? No. Are they still getting their nice PPV bonuses? Yes. They do crave to hear the fans react but- if the fans hadn't been doing the wave- they probably would've been silent. So it's not like the fans would've been going crazy had there been no wave. You may not think that. But the fans who paid to sit in those seats thought the match was not what they wanted and were not being entertained. So they decided to entertain themselves. Should have they have sat there silently until JBL and Taker started copying every WWF main event from 1998-2000? They tried to get the crowd involved and they failed. So did the crowd did the wave. Tough shit. Just to further hit home the point: Baseball is real. The fans aren't involved. Apparently the fans aren't as highly involved if the match is a WWE Title Match between JBL and Taker.

It's well known Undertaker has a lot of influence with Vince McMahon due to the fact that he's been in the company for 14 years. Apparently he was the one who put on the kibosh on whether he should be a tweener after he killed a guy and had himself be a straight up face even though he killed a guy. Am I the only one who forgot Undertaker killed a man? Taker lobbied for the title shot and thus JBL v. Taker was born. The guys did put on a match that satisfied the fans who paid their hard earned money to see the show. So they decided to amuse themselves and have some fun. I thought it was cool. If I was at a show and was witnessing Taker v. JBL- I'd join in too. WWE thought the fans would buy Taker v. JBL as a big match for the title. They were wrong and were told so by the fans. Still don't get how that's a bad thing. Actually the crowd did start to get into the false finishes- which is when the match picked up. I'd be bored as shit if I saw Taker do some submission holds in a match as well. I'd be bored if I had to see JBL work over Taker's leg. I don't buy JBL as a guy who can last 5 minutes with Undertaker since he's a midcard joke and Taker is a guy who never loses. The fans didn't either. Should they find where Vince McMahon is and tell him that? No- they decided that the match wasn't worth their time and did the wave. Which is their right as the paying customer. The fans didn't even bother to pay attention. I wouldn't give both men gold stars for loyalty. Taker did think of jumping to WCW at one point. And I don't think any other wrestling organisations really want Bradshaw anyway. I don't even remember the fans chanting boring but whatever. And if they did chant boring they were obviously paying attention to the match. They just found it boring. The fans deserved the common courtesy of two men to put on a half decent match. The fans deserved the common courtesy of seeing a credible WWE Title match. How long should the fans have waited before doing the wave? Should there have been a timer where at the end of 5 minutes or so of not being entertained they could do the wave? People go to wrestling shows to have fun. Not to show JBL, a guy who write a scathing commentary on a large portion of WWE's fanbase, some respect. Maybe JBL should've shown the fans some respect and some common courtesy before breaking a German law or writing an online commentary calling us idiots. That's not being dreadful. Inspiring dread; terrible. Extremely unpleasant; distasteful or shocking: dreadful table manners; this dreadful heat They were just silent- and I thought there was some pretty decent heat for the match- it wasn't dreadful. They just weren't going crazy. The Kane v. Matt storyline is dumb as shit. We have two faces in this story. One is a guy so awesome that his girlfriend slept with another man to stop from getting beat up. And the girlfriend is so dumb that she doesn't- a) wear a condom b) take birth control or c) get an abortion when she sleeps with the other guy and gets knocked up from him. I think everyone knew Matt had no chance in hell and responded accordingly. I was at Vengeance and no one gave a shit about the match either. Were we dreadful? QUOTE And they were hot during the 3-way- they just cheered one face over the other. (Well according to you every face got booed- but whatever) No problem- you're the one who acted like the Toronto crowd broke some sin of wrestling because they GASP! didn't care about a WWE Title Match and GASP! booed a good guy. And you said they booed the face in nearly every face. They booed the face in two matches. That's only 25% of the matches. That's a very loose definition of the word nearly. It should be noted that in the last three WWE Title matches- Two have ended in DQ and the other had a Dusty finish. And the champion is Bradshaw. Would you take that title seriously? QUOTE Should Toronto have cheered Eugene because they were told to? The crowd didn't like him so they booed him. Should they just go along with what Vince says and cheer who he says to cheer? They booed the Hogan stuff though. The Stunner and Rock Bottom are moves that are so defined with WWE that anyone could do them and would get a pop. (Either positive or negative) It's not that they suddenly liked Eugene- it's because they got to see a Stunner and a Rock Bottom. Not really. They wanted to have fun at Summerslam. They did the wave, booed the retard, and heckled Earl Hebner. They had some fun. Good for them. It's better then people who go to a WWE show and just sit there bored. Would you have liked them to sit there silently and stare into space? Now that'd suck. QUOTE And they're getting called out on it by idiots who don't seem to like the fact that a bunch of fans at a wrestling show they PAID to see decided to have fun when the product they paid to see was not providing it. If you're so upset that a crowd of wrestling fans did the wave in a title match- you're an idiot. And I don't think I've ever called someone an idiot in any of my SNL review threads. And you might as well learn to spell people's names if you're going to try and sound cool and try to insult me by using stuff that has nothing to do with the point at hand. If you're throwing a hissy fit and getting all bent out of shape because people decided not to give a shit during an Undertaker v. Bradshaw match then again- you're an idiot. As a result of the Toronto fans actions- a) No one got hurt b) No laws were broken (Aside from that one idiot- but I don't think he was part of the wave) c) People had fun. THOSE BASTARDS!

Late night talk show shakeup coming..
bob_barron replied to MarvinisaLunatic's topic in Television & Film
Will Ferrell wouldn't work as a talk show host. He'd be way too watered down. And if he did without Adam McKay as exec producer/writer- it'd be a complete and utter disaster -
I wasn't referring to you- I was referring to people who were like 'OMG! NO MORE WWE! NO MORE BLURRING! YAY!' It's not that simple. Vince is the idiot who violated the argreement and the pandas called him on it

People make tons of points dissecting your arguments and that's all you come back with? Damn. What's your point? Taker v. Bradshaw was a poorly booked rushed feud that had two people fighting that the crowd DID NOT want to see. So they decided to amuse themselves. And did the wave. You're still not making a lick of sense. Was the crowd 'dreadful' during the 6-man or Kane v. Hardy? And they were hot during the 3-way- they just cheered one face over the other. (Well according to you every face got booed- but whatever) Were they were dreadful during Angle v. Eddy? They seemed pretty into it. Should Toronto have cheered Eugene because they were told to? The crowd didn't like him so they booed him. Should they just go along with what Vince says and cheer who he says to cheer? And they're getting called out on it by idiots who don't seem to like the fact that a bunch of fans at a wrestling show they PAID to see decided to have fun when the product they paid to see was not providing it.

You people realise that Vince can't just change the name back right? He's the one who signed the agreement. God some people are so stupid

Ashlee plays Hilary's best friend. I think she's her best friend pre-music camp since she wasn't in the trailer. The movie's competition is Shark Tale (which looks terrible) and Taxi. (ditto) The trailer is at- www.raiseyourvoicemovie.com Oliver James is one lucky bastard It has a 75% rating at Rotten Tomatoes which is really good. ReelViews and Ebert both really liked it. I've heard the film does a great job at creating tension but whethet you will like it or not really depends on the dialogue since the film is very talk-driven. Blair Witch did gross 100 million plus. I wonder what will be #1 next week. A v. P is going to fall fast and hard. Without a Paddle won't open to too much. I think Exorcist will do it on name brand alone but then also heavily drop.

Open Water has late summer sleeper hit ALL over it. The film did very well at Sundance and has been packing them in in it's limited run in NYC. It also had a tie-in with the Discovery Channel to give it more exposure. It's being compared to Blair Witch.

I have a hard team believing the marketing budget for ACS was $30 million. BoxOfficeMojo said that's just an average and it's something they figure out. The movie wasn't on TV screens every 5 seconds like other big summer blockbusters. I think that's just an estimate Mojo came up with by comparing to other movies. The movie will make a healthy profit, especially when you factor in the soundtrack sales and I'm sure it will do okay worldwide. And the movie will make a killing on DVD. A Cinderella Story made more then any other Duff's starring vehicles and it had the most staying power of either them. 40% of Lizzie McGuire's gross was done in it's opening weekend, while for Agent Cody Banks it was 29%. A Cinderella Story's number is 27.6 The movie has made 49.3 million compared to only 29.3 for Confessions. ACS also had more staying power then Confessions did. I think Raise Your Voice could be the sleeper hit of the fall. It has a pretty good trailer and it's Hilary's first ever dramatic role. Even though I'm sketchy on the director, it has a great cast (John Corbett, Rita Wilson) and should do as well as ACS. Ashlee Simpson is in it too which will help. They just need to put her in the trailer.

Don't know what you're talking about. I've never heard of any sports riots in NY. I'm worried about the shit they might pull at the RNC. I'm going to try my hardest to stay far away from MSG. I was able to stomach my movie theatre getting Fahrenheit 9/11 two days before anyone else. I still laugh at a lady selling a pin that said: I DIDN'T MOURN FOR REAGAN

Sounds you like had a good time Cawthon. The two reports I read at PWInsider did not sound like it was a fun weekend as it was very disorganised
