The Mandarin

Who among you watches it routinely every Christmas season? CityTV has this on at least twice a year here, so it's can't miss. I honestly think it's in my top five comedies of all time, and contains the best humour/slapstick combination of any movie in the past twenty years. The overly rediculous face Clark's father makes on sight of the squirrel has been etched in my mind for years. Discuss. "THEY WANT YOU.. to say GRACE. ..THE BLESSING!"

Actually, it was "crazier'n a pet coon" and "whipping him like a government mule," at least all the time I'd heard him say it (unless he said it in WCW or it was a few isolated ones a long time back). Speaking of which, JR whipping Coach repeatedly to be reinstated was so, so wrong.

Whomever changed the WWE Board description should also change the general board description. It's ancient.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BECOME! It was funnier when it said "Edit Whoops!"

I forgot to add I think I like Rock/Foley vs. Evolution a bit more than Foley vs. Orton from Backlash.

Speaking of which, had Heyman's plan for Show/JBL in a barbed wire match gone through, I would have bought my first SmackDown PPV since No Mercy 2003.

New belt or new champion? Apparently it's custom made for Cena, with "turntables".

They could always show a cab driver refuse to pick him up. That might make his point more valid in the eyes of the fans. "Dad! Stop the taxi! Dad! Dad!"

Guerrero vs. Flair was at KOTR2002. Bret vs. Diesel (SS '95) is a very good match, and from what I've heard, so is Bret vs. 'Taker at One Night Only. Damn you Ray.

I haven't met any for a few years (I think), but what I can gather from my awful memory is that I've met Bret and Bobby Hull, Eric Lindros, Arnold Palmer, many of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Doug Gilmore and Mats Sundin and, uh..the Stanley Cup. I know I've met a lot more though.

Randy Orton/Batista vs. Benoit/Edge from May. Best Raw 2 vs. 2 match of the year. Brilliant finish.

Dave Hebner.

That's suprisingly high. You would think people would just rent it.

I'm estimating $12.35 for Spanglish, making it the lowest grossing movie ever. From what I have seen from the repetitive commercials, there is absolutely no plot to this movie and no stars I would pay to see.

Found all of CS4 today. Picked up Yoko and Piper. They're absolutely beautiful.

I'm turning it to SNL now, but if I get word that Holly/Reigns was anything like the past two matches, I'm ordering Armageddon.

***3/4

MOTYC, I'm calling it.

Bob has LEFT the building.

Bob, give me a estimate on SNL's star average tonight knowing Colin Farrell is hosting.

20,000? What crowd did he walk out into?

I still can't believe I missed London/Akio to watch an SNL repeat last week. I'm staying put tonight, though. CW ANDERSON, baby.

I'm convinced the DVD never came to Canada. There's no way it could have sold out EVERYWHERE.

What was the original ending to Kubrick's Shining? Wikipedia claims it was changed after test audiences panned it, but I've never heard what the original ending actually was.

First time I remember Rock bleeding is--I think--the Armaggeddon 6-Way HIAC. He may have bled at Summerslam '98, though. Oddly enough, that's also the first time I remember Kurt Angle bleeding. I don't think it was a blade job though, he may have just got cut up. Speaking of which, I can't name more than five matches Angle has bladed in.
