  1. Hey retard, JBL is imitating Redd Foxx from Sanford & Son. But you're probably too young to know that. Or to know what killed the NWA. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    X-Men 3 Pictures/Preview

    For those of you who are complaining about the disappointment with Gambit's big secret, I'd recommend reading "X-Men: The End." There's another part of Gambit's story that is one of the only reasons that the book is readable.

    SNL Review

    There isn't a white guy in Black Eyed Peas. One of them, Taboo, is half black/half Native American

    Marvel = WWE

    I think it focused too much on the neighbors. It altered the tone of the movie. And I hated John Travolta's character. Not Travolta, the character

    Sharkboy sues Disney

    According to the article in the Dayton Daily News, he didn't steal it from the Simpsons, but he was inspired by The Toadies song with "I Come From The Water" in the chorus. He wrestled originally as El Pirahna and changed it to Sharkboy shortly after. A follow up article also states that he has the name trademarked for both sport and entertainment purposes.

    DVR to DVD

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to copy something from DVR to DVD. My DVR is from Time Warner cable, and has a USB hookup in the front and an S-video hookup in the back. I have a laptop with a DVD burner and an S-Video port. Any help?

    So I'm guessing no one knows how. Suck balls

    TNA on WGN?

    How much are they paying for their time? If they sell advertising does FSN get the money or TNA? How long is the contract? What's the rate for renewal? Is there a mutual option out? What happens if TNA's content is found unacceptable by FSN officials? Does TNA have to pay for the spot when the show is pre-empted in a market? If not, how much less do they get to pay? Does TNA get guaranteed cross-promotion? If so, what are the terms? I'd like to see legal copy, and not word of mouth off the internet, please.

    TNA on WGN?

    Mike, unless you have a copy of the legal contract between TNA and FSN, you shouldn't talk about their deal like you're their fucking lawyer. And if TNA increased their viewership, why would FSN change the setup? They're making money off of TNA right now as it is, and TNA OBVIOUSLY isn't selling advertising. (And no, it's not just that wrestling doesn't sell advertising)

    Hasn't anyone ever told him that comics aren't just for kids anymore?

    It does. Actually, it has three.

    Could a comic book attain the status of Mythology?

    I've always thought that in a few thousand years, people could read comics like the Sandman and believe it was our mythology/religion. But not currently, no

    Were the Transformers Homosexuals?

    The Headmasters were some of my favorite Transformers toys back in the day. I remember reading the comics with them in it. And Beast Wars was very good. It just takes some getting used to.

    Jarrett meeting with Viacom

    As for the advertising issue: It's not wrestling that doesn't draw the advertisers, it's WWE. You can thank the PTC for that, as Vince did by suing them. I'll admit, though, that the stigma has stuck to wrestling as a whole. Not to mention that the name "TNA" doesn't quite lend you the best chance to get advertisers. As for Mike's claiming that TNN wasn't anything before WWE: With or without RAW, TNN/Spike would have underwent massive changes as they were purchased by Viacom. The change started with the name change from "The Nashville Network" to "The National Network." Spike wouldn't be where they are at without RAW, but they would have found something else to make their name. And for the ratings argument: FSN gets bad ratings because NOONE WATCHES IT!. PERIOD. It doesn't matter what show. FSN isn't a network but an affiliation of Networks. It's not like ESPN, where everyone see the same thing on a schedule. You can never tell what you're going to see. Which is why noone watches it. I guarantee that WWE's ratings wouldn't be as high if they were on FSN. And I'm interested that TNA could end up on Spike. If I didn't feel like it would end up screwing them in the long run.

    Has anyone got the Victory Road DVD yet?

    I refuse to order it, quite honestly. I think $24.95 plus shipping is just ridiculous for that. When they get a distribution deal, we can start seeing them at a lower price. But until then, I just can't bring myself to pay that kind of money for it. You can buy two WWE PPV DVD's from somewhere like deepdiscountdvd.com or even WalMart for almost the same price . . . I really don't understand why TNA can't (or won't) get a DVD distribution deal . . . I can get CZW and ROH stuff at my local Best Buy or FYE (granted, neither are new shows, but they're there anyway), but can't get the second biggest wrestling fed in America. Kinda weird, don't you think? It's almost like they WANT to get ridiculous prices for TNA stuff . . . . Plus, Victory Road was a stinker of a PPV. The next 3 (Turning Point, Final Resolution, and Against All Odds) are much better. No amount of extras would save a Victory Road DVD from being bad. The ROH videos at FYE aren't ROH releases, they're Takedown Masters releases, and don't have all the matches on them.

    WWE sign Johnny Swinger

    I still can't believe he listed Austin Aries.

    Astonishing X-Men

    And I have to say that I understand the non-love for Joss Whedon. I didn't think it was that bad when I started it, but by the time I was done I was extremely disappointed. He's got decent dialogue, but he over exaggerates certain aspects of the characters personalities (i.e.- Wolverines' beer drinking.) He also used every cliched Marvel story in the book. I mean, come on ALIENS? An X-Man destroying a planet? Someone not being dead? Though I admit that the idea of a mutant cure isn't too bad, it's not that original. Has the guy read any of the series before now? Does he not realize he's chopping up old stories and putting them together? And my last question: Was there anything about the kid who got cured later on in the series? If no, then that's bullshit. There's a good story there waiting to be told.

    Actually, it's TIME FUCKING WARNER. Ted Turner has no control over what used to be his "empire."

    Fox to "Cut Down" Arrested Development

    It's all because they put the "I Just Blue Myself" in the forum descriptions. I'd bet my cat on it.

    Heavy Metal and subgenre description

    I second Corey's notion. Metalcore may or may not have a lasting impact on metal, but at the moment it is a stable and increasingly popular sub-genre. Sadly, it seems only to be the next Nu-Metal as far as the mainstream is concerned.

    Abyss to WWE?!

    Yeah, this folder has absolutely NO need for a mod at all.

    WWE Wrestlemania 21

    Yeah, but wouldn't 4 or 5 of them come in and attack you at random, and then just leave?
