  1. Halloween writer/director Rob Zombie has announced on his official Blog that he has cast Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis in his new take on the classic horror movie.

     

    Donald Pleasence played Dr. Loomis in John Carpenter's 1978 original and its sequels.

     

    McDowell will join the previously-cast Daeg Faerch, who plays a young Michael Myers, Sheri Moon and Heather Bowen.

     

    Dimension Films has scheduled an August 31 release for the film.

    Superhero Hype! message board member 'Atticus' posted the following description of the Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer teaser trailer that's about to hit theaters with Night at the Museum. (Spoilers ahead!)

     

    It starts of with quick shots of Reed and Sue walking down the aisle. We see Johnny smiling proudly and the Thing wiping away tears.

     

    There's a flash in the sky, and Reed looks over at Johnny who replies, "C'mon, I just bought this!" (Referring to his tux) He rolls his eyes and leaps over the edge of the building yelling, "Flame On!"

     

    What follows is an amazing chase sequence between Surfer and Torch through a tunnel. At one point the Surfer passes THROUGH a subway bus and the Torch fx really look excellent as he flies through the very narrow gap between vehicles.

     

    Surfer ends up way above the streets of NY with Torch in hot pursuit. We then see him turn around, literally catch and hold Torch by the throat until he 'flames off' and begins to fall...

  3. Just to ask:

     

    Anyone feel like that if Sabu was legit pulled out of the EC match for "kayfabe" reasons such as "punishment" then it should have been advertised BEFORE THE SHOW went on the air?

     

    I mean I understand shit happens, a worker gets sick, hurt etc...right before the match and it has to be modified, and that is alright, but if the decision to dump Sabu from the match was made before the PPV went on the air, I think it should have been told to the fans, just in case anyone didn't want the show anymore. Would I have still ordered it? Yeah most likely, but who knows what someone else would do!?!

    On The LAW, Meltzer said the decision to remove Sabu was made a few days ago.

     

    Honestly, if I knew ahead of time that Sabu wasn't going to be in the match I would not have purchased the PPV. I purposely waited until 3-4 pm today to buy the ppv to make sure there were no shenanigans.


  4. I can't believe I paid $40 for that.

     

    I wanted to watch the football game so I dvr'd the PPV. I ended up watching the first match live (which I thought was good) then I went back to the game. I flipped over during a commercial in time to hear that Sabu wasn't going to be in the Chamber. I immediatley felt ripped off, but I was still interested in watching the PPV. I went back to the game. I flipped back in time to see that fucking Bob Holly was Sabu's replacement. Not only did the WWE steal 40 of my dollars, but now I have to watch Bob Holly AND Test in the Main Event. Fuck that! Even though I was incredibly pissed I was still looking forward to seeing what RVD and CM Punk would do in the Chamber. Back to football. The kick is good, game over, back to the PPV. I fast forward to the Chamber match, figuring that I'll watch the midcard another time. Chamber starts, first 10 minutes are decent, then comes Test. Next thing I know Punk, Holly and RVD get eliminated in like a minute. YOUGOTTAFUCKINGBEKIDDINGME. Seriously, with all the meatheads in this match you going to get rid of Punk and RVD in the first 15 minutes. I watched the rest of the match just shaking my head. Then to top it off after the PPV ends I check to see what the midcard matches were. Yeah, no fucking way will I be wasting my time watching that crap. So I paid 40 bucks for two matches totalling about 50 minutes. Almost $1 per minute. God am I stupid.


  5. I've said it before, Nathan always seems to be the most expendable...he's not interested in using his powers though he's very protective of Peter...I can see him realizing, in the end, that he must use his powers and will sacrifice himself for Peter.

     

    I think it's Peter. I don't know how the whole "Save the Cheerleader" thing altered the timeline, but remember when Hiro teleported to Issac's apartment before the explosion and saw a newspaper that said Nathan wins the election by a landslide? I'm thinking that Peter dies and Nathan, being the selfish ass we have seen, uses it and his wife's paralysis to his advantage to gain the sympathy vote.

     

    I don't think it's Peter. When Hiro teleported from the future to deliver a message to Peter he told him that he looks different without his scar, which implies that Peter is still around in the future.


  6. I already posted this in the Cyber Sunday thread, but is this the 1st time they've referenced Mickie James' pics?

     

     

     

    This was just before the divas match and when Lita was coming out, King was talking about how people can vote on the internet for the matches.

     

    King said, "And tonight our fans are gettin to vote on what kind of match this is going to be. [pause] Right on the internet..... Mickie James is familiar with the internet."

     

    What pics would those be?


  7. I'm with the majority here. Every episode follows the same pattern, and it not a good pattern to begin with. It doesn't help that the "action" reminds me of Walker Texas Ranger (the gun fights, Skeet's mom getting trampled) and the drama is on the same level as bad teenage coming of age shows with all the crappy music and relationship problems. As far as the characters go, I want to punch Peyton Manning's bearded brother in the nose. He's so fucking annoying, but then again so is everyone else. This show is such a bust.


  8. An Extreme Elimination Chamber match as the main event of an ECW PPV is the gayest thing ever.

     

    Will the cage be electrified or something? Barbed wire? fire?

     

    I'm thinking the only difference is going to be a couple garbage cans o' plunder inside the cage and maybe some barbed wire integrated somewhere. I'm really concerned about the undercard though. The main event will probably go over 40 minutes but what the hell are they going to do with the rest of the show.


  9. This is a really good show and I can't wait for the next episode. Peter's powers of absorbtion were finally made obvious, although I didn't pick up on it until my wife (who wasn't really paying attention) said something. Much like everyone else I can't stand Ali Larter and her "greasy looking" son. Hopefully getting her husband involved will make things more interesting. The other characters are coming on strong.

     

    I really like where the show is heading. I haven't been this involved in a show since the first season of Lost.


  10. The ECW house show in Niagara Falls on Sunday was changed to a Smackdown/ECW show.

     

    I have really good tickets for this show, so I'm pretty excited about the change. I've never seen guys like Booker T, Rey Misterio and Batista live before. On the other hand, I was hoping to recapture some of the old ECW Buffalo show atmosphere, but that's okay.

     

    There are still really good tickets left (6 rows from the ring) for anyone in the area that is interested. I'll feel pretty lame if there are only a couple hundred other people there.


  11. Most pregnant women don't suddenly gain double chins and huge flabby arms. The baby grows in your stomach, not in your neck. Is she giving birth from her shoulder also?

     

    Let's surgically insert a watermelon into yout lower abdomen, your neck, both your arms, your ass, your face and both your thighs and see how your ass looks

     

    You're an idiot. Post some pictures of your mom when she was pregnant with you so we can critique her body.


  12. Aside from the fact that the auto draft picked 2 kickers (the first one way too early) and 2 defenses (the first one also way too early) I'm pretty happy with the results.
