    The OaO Arrested Development Season 3 thread

    I just started watching this recently for whatever reason. I don't know what took me so long, this show is hilarious. The first season is superb so far (minus a few episodes that dragged, the one with the car crash really sucked) but then it gets much better. I'll second the love for Pier Pressure; George Sr. turning to his hysterical kids and screaming "If someone had have left a note!" was tremendous. The episode with Heather Graham is really good too. I assume seasons 2 and 3 are great as well?

    Dumbest Songs of all time

    The Baha Men song. I won't mention the title since you probably don't want it playing in your head.

    1000 Reasons why Late Night with Conan O'Brien

    283. It seemed like Conan paid a visit to a certain werewolf before tonight's show. For someone who had been up over 40 hours or whatever he said, he was certainly animated. He was moving all over the place during the monologue, it was strange. Then he freaked out about lower back tattoos during the Trump interview and just wouldn't stop talking about them when he probably should have been wrapping up the interview. He also lost his train of thought for a bit, which is the first time I've seen him do that. Saying stuff like "I'm on something" and "I'm on a drug" added to my suspicion. It was funny to watch. 284. "Anyone named Barron is destined for success." Something to think about. And tonight, he didn't do the Leno impression (kinda sounds like Beaker) before Actual Items and just addressed him as "Mr. Leno".

    The 58th Annual Emmy Nominations...

    The opening sequence was awesome. Conan ending up in the Office and on Dateline was really, really funny. Bob Newhart was fantastic in his role. The show as a whole was fairly entertaining. The disdain for all things Daily Show already runs rampant on this board, so I won't comment on Stewart's victories. Huff is absolutely terrible; I can't imagine a person could sit through an episode long enough to decide Blythe Danner was actually good on the show. Jaime Pressly not winning for My Name is Earl is crummy. I mean, it was obvious they'd give it to Mullally since her show is done yet Pressly will have a number of good-to-great years, but still-- Drunk Joy is one of the greatest acts in television. The outsourced Conan writing team (or whatever that was) was truly hysterical. Will Arnett never winning an award for GOB was a shame, but Jeremy Piven is very, very good as Ari. Entourage is actually a much better show than I expected. Ray Liotta looked like shit. I saw some Monk and I really couldn't get into it. I should give it another chance if he's apparently better in his role than Steve Carell. Happy to see The Office win. I thought Arrested Development would take it, but I guess not. Good show.

    Kurt Angle released!

    Who, me? The CZW thing was just me messing around (you should see the people on other boards, who are serious-- "BRING HIM INTO ROH!!"). Kurt Angle should by no means go to a wrestling organization less sanitized than the WWE, that's even worse. ROH would kill him after the first Danielson Regalplex. Edited to clean up all the fucking language.

    Kurt Angle released!

    Kurt Angle's such a perfect fit for CZW. He can wrestle their style, he'd be in an environment where nobody would give a shit about his deteriorating health, it's in the Pennsylvania area. Angle vs. Necro Butcher would draw. Of course, you could also put Angle in a "Choose Death" shirt and put them on a team against Ruckus and Joker. Of course, granted that he's fucking close to death and isn't really much of anything in the ring anymore (from what I've seen recently) that's probably a terrible idea. Seriously, all the best to Kurt and hopefully he never wrestles again. Give him fucking ECT or something, maybe he'll vow to become the world's best fisherman instead.

    Killer of Jonbenet Ramsy arrested

    I'm going with Rando on this. This motherfucker probably did some disgusting shit overseas and bailed out so he could get the comfort of a US prison. ESCAPE FROM BANGKOK.
  13. No, the show was pure and utter shit aside from Flair v. Foley The last five minutes to Cena/Edge were terribly sloppy, so I didn't even care for the finish. Some near falls were well done though since they were out of the blue and for the babyface. I'm such a blind mark for Flair, I really loved his match even though there were fewer spots than most of the recent Edge/Foley stuff. Finish was okay because Foley looked like a fucking mess, but I couldn't care less about the story considering I don't watch WWE television much at all. Foley's affection for Melina or whatever is gross. Rest of the show was pretty awful, I just flat out didn't watch during much of the tag match. The SmackDown side of things were not good at all, I missed the ECW match so I don't know how that went, and Hogan vs. Orton was as dull as you'd expect. Really disappointed considering I relatively liked the last few months worth of PPV that I saw (Backlash, ECW, Vengeance). Seriously though, Flair still entertains the hell out of me with his bleeding, and drunkeness and unintelligible speech. PPV MVP.
  14. Why are they wrestling a slobberknocker match?
  15. I gots Chavo, Cena, Flair, Show, Booker T, Hogan, DX.

    Snakes on a Plane

    Fantastic movie. I had very low expectations, so I was totally surprised. Everything in the movie that was done for laughs was at least somewhat funny. The Borat trailer also elicited huge laughs from the audience. I don't remember seeing the part where he says "Hello, vanillaface" to the desk clerk before, so that was awesome. Just an tremendous experience.

    Snakes on a Plane

    Fuck fuck fuck, I knew I should have gone last night. Is there still a chance that a lot of drunken rowdies are going to be headed to the theatre tonight? Because I want an experience, man. An experience.

    Smackdown Spoilers

    I assume Vickie is either getting paid really well for this or desperate for any money, because I can't see why she'd want to be a part of this storyline.

    The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

    It was pretty good. Not as funny as "Anchorman" but it had a much better story. Michael Clarke Duncan and Amy Adams were really good in there roles. The Greg Germann/Molly Shannon stuff was stupid; why couldn't we have gotten more scenes with Champ Kind instead? I laughed the most at the aforementioned scene of Duncan getting another knife to pry the knife out, Jean Girard saying that he wanted to go back to France to design a currency for cats and dogs to use, and Ricky Bobby screaming about Tom Cruise's witchcraft powers.

    Miami Vice

    Just because I didn't like afilm that was all about blowing shit up and killing means that I don't like good movies. Dude, what film did you watch?

    Eddy Guerrero passes away

    Ugh. Yeah, I started changing my original response to something stupid each time this thread got bumped after a few months just to see if anyone would notice. It is pretty lame, so I'll stop. FWIW, my first comment was something like "Fuck no. Oh, fuck that totally sucks. Fuck. RIP Eddie". I don't think anybody on this board thought Eddie's death was a work by the WWE, although I really wanted to believe it was just a major fuck-up by WWE.com staff considering there were a few errors on the page (then I saw it on other sites). I think something like that happened with Sharon Osborne once, so it's not entirely out of the question. --- Am I the only one who's not watched an episode of SmackDown (from what I remember) since the episode where Orton told Rey that Eddie was in Hell? Not because I was majorly offended, but because that was a stupid basis for a ME storyline plus everything had royally sucked on SmackDown for the past few weeks so that acted as the tip of the iceberg.

    RAW on the West Coast

    I just watched the TSN replay, and it aired fine for me. But I just want to say something-- that opening segment was profoundly stupid. People need to stop comparing Raw to a car crash, because drunk driving accidents have more purpose and by comparison, participants in a head-on collision look better afterwards.
