haws bah gawd

Damn, is she getting off the drugs or something? Her face is still rancid, but the rack isn't half bad.

I'm not too surprised at his look - he looked about the same during his one-shot return against Joe in the Nash gauntlet on Impact. He's looking very "well", which is good for his long-term health, but perhaps very bad for his short-term future. It's sad to think that in about a year, he went from seemingly becoming a main event regular in TNA to now being out of a job just about anywhere. Did Tomko burn all his bridges when he left TNA?

Some of these may be a little out there: Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak will remain intact ECW will get a secondary championship CM Punk will turn heel Batista or John Cena will turn heel Santino will ditch his goofball character and revert to his OVW gimmick Kurt Angle will return with a limited schedule Stone Cold Steve Austin will get the Ric Flair treatment around Wrestlemania Orton will be the top guy on RAW by the end of the year Jeff Hardy will earn "Strike 3" during his title run Rob Van Dam will return with a limited schedule Evan Bourne will win MitB, challenge Matt hardy for the ECW title, and win Cryme Tyme will break up with Shad being the "Shawn Michaels" of the team After his push dies, R Truth will ask for his release around the middle of the year Shelton Benjamin will carry the United States belt for a majority of the year This time next year, John Cena will still be World Champion, and will have a 'Spinner' World title

Anyone want to start a 2009 predictions thread?

My favorite commercial of the past couple years is probably the Citibank "BIGBOY" commercial. I even got a laugh out of the Gamestop commercial involving the two parents finding porn under their son's bed since he hadn't given them any hints about what he wanted for Christmas.

Wow, someone really looks deep into their commercials. Jingle, minimalist, who gives a shit? The commercial sucks.

Guess I'll give Microsoft a call around the first of the week and see what I can do.

THANK YOU! I had forgotten about this guy, but damn. They recently did a couple new commercials with the guy trying to rap in one, and trying to do metal in another. F-to the-R-to the-E-to the-E-to the-C-to the-R-to the-E-D-I-T......UGH! These have to be the worst commercials since the Geico Caveman thing started. The first Caveman commercial was funny in a random sense, with the guy saying "It's so easy a Caveman can do it", then you hear, "NO, NO, NOT COOL!" and the guy holding the boom mic was a Caveman. OK, that was pretty good. However, the Geico commercials since then are just horrible. Billy Graham is OK with me.

+1. Can't stand this arrogant asshole.

My 360 is acting weird as hell. If I haven't used it for a day or so, and try to play something, the system will usually stop working after 15 minutes or so. Then, all I have to do is eject the disk, reset the system, and it works fine. Sometimes while playing Oblivion, I'll get a message about the disc being unreadable. The disc is flawless, and I clean my system regularly. Any other ideas?

Did anyone watch the Spike VGA's last weekend? Did I miss anything other than Jack Black's usual failed attempts at being funny?

Rachel Ray is at least easy on the eyes from time to time, which makes her more tolerable. This guy is beyond the point of annoying, though.

- More obnoxious than anything. The only film I've been able to half-way tolerate him in was King Kong. - Maybe I'm about of the loop, but whats with the finger thing in nearly every photo of this guy? Only funny thing he's ever done was the cook in Waiting. - Yea - Proof ANYONE can have their own show on TBS.

I just caught the end of the episode, and of everything that happened, I was happy with how they were using Sting. He was doing some cool shit in the match including one-hand choking (which always looks deadly) AJ Styles. My biggest enjoyment came at the end when the MEM was beating down Joe in the cage, and Sting was in the aisle, kicking the shit out of anyone that tried to run down and help. I enjoyed it very much.

That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. You're going to sign this big guy with a killer look, and throw him in a full body suit and mask? Unless he was going to eventually unmask and just be Tomko, that's pretty lame. Shame, really. As long as WWE still lets Christian use "Just Close Your Eyes", I'll be somewhat happy.

A small follow up to this, I heard an interview with Aronofsky today on the Howard Stern Show, and he said he is personally giving VKM a screening tomorrow. Howard said he thinks McMahon will love it but from what I have heard of the movie, I don't know. He also said they had a screening yesterday attended by Flair, Valentine, Piper and Beefcake where Piper apparently cried. I heard the same story. Piper apparently cried in Mickey Rourke's arms after the screening. This film must hit awful close to home for some of these guys.

That's a pretty random mix of themes there. How many times has this same Undertaker theme (if it's the one he's currently using) been released by WWE? At least we'll finally get a good quality version of Orton's "Voices".

Tomko had a bit of sag in the chest, and a very small amount of pudge in his midsection upon leaving TNA, but he was still in better physical condition than most males will ever be in. I hope WWE gives him a chance to heal his pectoral tear before giving him another match. I'm really looking forward to him eventually making it to TV.

Went running through my elementary school lunch room after it had been mopped, slipped, and slighty cracked my left elbow, but nothing TOO serious. I was just told to keep my arm bent, in a sling, and to not use it for about a month. Well, two weeks later, my stupid ass decided to play a little too rough in the front yard. I ended up falling in a fairly small ditch next to the road in front of my house, and actually broke my elbow this time. It ended up being a pretty severe injury, and the muscles in my left arm are significantly smaller and weaker than the ones in my right arm, to this day.

Hopefully, 3-D technology has come a long-enough way since the DVD release of Freddy's Dead to make F13th Pt.3 watchable.

Here's my entry, in no particular order: Michael J Fox - poor guy looks HORRIBLE Jake Roberts - I agree, this guy is going to outlive every major wrestler from the 80's, but just in case...... Amy Winehouse - this bitch is going to be like Jake Roberts. She will NEVER die, but I'll put her on my list just in case Britney Spears Bobby Heenan Barack Obama - the presidential bodyguards can't protect Bush from a couple flying shoes for God's sake....... Anthony Keidis Keith Richards Paula Deen Scott Hall George Romero I'll add more when they come to me.

Yep, the first is the only one hitting Blu-Ray, for the time being anyway. I'm looking forward to it. You'd be surprised how well some older, low budget films, make the transition to HD. The original Halloween, for instance, is one of the better-looking Blu-Ray's I own as far as picture quality is concerned. It's one of the main films that I use to show off the HDTV when people come over. I can't wait to finally see F13th Pt. 3 in 3-D. The theaters around here have never done any midnight showings or anything like that, so I'm really excited to finally get a copy. I'll probably skip on Pt. 2 though. Now, if only New Line would get on the ball and at least put the original Nightmare on Elm Street on Blu-Ray. I figure we may see that one around the time of the release of the remake, similar to Paramount's marketing of an HD Friday in time for the remake.

I've got no problem with how wrestlers, face or heel, cash in title shots. WWE has given me something to look forward to every year, wondering when the MitB winner will cash in his shot. Like this year, when Batista came out and beat down Edge, I didn't really think about CM Punk potentially cashing in his shot. I was just thinking it was another way of helping Big Dave get his heat back. Then low and behold, Killswitch Engage hits, and here comes Punk, briefcase and referee in tow. Like I said in the WWE folder, it's been probably since Benoit won the gold, that I've actually stood up and cheered a title change, not worrying about looking like an ass in front of anyone, for cheering a predetermined pro rasslin' angle. Similary, TNA has given us FoF, with the twist of handing out shots at all their major titles. I marked last year for Petey Williams "Edging" his shot against Lethal, and I'll tune in this year for Creed and Lethal doing the same for the tag titles.

I really enjoy most of this series. I own every entry on DVD, but mostly for the sake of having a complete series. Part 1 - A definite classic. Some horrid acting, especially from Ned, the "clown" of the counselors. Gotta love the part where Ms. Voorhees' is decapitated. If you watch it in slow mo, or just pay close attention, Alice hits Ms. Voorhees' neck from the left with the machete, but her head severs from the right. C'mon, we even got Kevin Bacon! Part 2 - A fun sequel. Ted steals the show in this one. The "fitness chick" Terri had a GREAT body, made all the more-enjoyable during her skinny-dipping scene. Jeff and Sondra, being the first two major characters introduced, get surprisingly killed about half-way through the film. Part 3 - One of the better sequels. Gave us the hockey mask, Shelly, Chuck and Chili (the potheads). A bit of a cop-out ending though. Part 4 - Again, gave us Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman. A very enjoyable, well-done "finish" to the series, with gore and makeup effects done by the master, Tom Savini. Also has one of the best killings of Jason in the series, with Feldman hitting him in the side of the head with a Machete, then Jason's head slowly sliding down the blade once he hits the floor. Part 5 - I actually like this one. It plays into the whole "New Beginning" subtitle, by setting up Tommy as the "new" Jason at the end of the film. Obviously a lot of people shit all over this one for Jason not actually being in the film, but I enjoy it for it's camp and humor. Junior and Ethel are great here, and there's even a short part with Miguel Núñez Jr. (Juwana Man, DJ from Street Fighter, etc.). Plus this film features a young Shavar Ross (Weasel from Family Matters). As a young man, I thought Robin was HAWT, and really enjoyed her topless scene. This one, IMO, is very passable and an acceptable entry in the series. Part 6 - OK, so we're going to act as though Part 5 didn't happen. Alrighty then. This is one of the best of the series. It maintains the cheesiness of the series, but is actually very well done, and well acted. Hard to believe huh? This is the first film to give us unstoppable zombie Jason. Some great kills, and just a really fun movie. I enjoyed Jason getting his neck torn to shreds by the boat motor. Part 7 - The first of the series I ever saw, so I am admittedly biased to it. This is my favorite entry, by far. The makeup department did the best job with Jason's overall look in this film. Kane Hodder, IMO, is the best Jason actor. He's a huge guy with a heavy muscle-build. The scenes of him "chasing" people through the woods are extra creepy. Upon rewatching this one recently, I'm not a big fan of Tina's father (who has been dead for about 10 years or so, and surprisingly, hasn't decomposed) magically coming to life, wrapping a chain around Jason's neck , and dragging him back into the lake. LAME. At least we were treated to a small role from Susan Blu (the voice of Arcee from the original Transformers Movie) as Tina's mom. Part 8 - So, we go from badass rotting body, so Jason looking like he's just been sitting in a bathtub for too long. REALLY lame entry in the series. So, after swimming in some New York City toxic waste, Jason is reduced back to a child, and that's it? Paramount made my head hurt here. Jason Goes to Hell - New Line Cinema: "OK everyone, we just got the rights to this series, so first order of business, let's KILL JASON FOR GOOD!". Fucking stupid idea, just relying on a gimmick to sell movie tickets (which didn't appear to work). So, Jason is actually a demon snake thing that hops from body to body, and when his body becomes too damaged, or rotted to use, he simply hops to another one? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO AND CHANGE THE ENTIRE BACK STORY, 9 ENTRIES INTO THE SERIES?!?!?! This one had some incredible gore effects, and a rather explicit (for the time, anyways) sex scene in the unrated edition. The "diner massacre" is one of my all-time favorite rampages. Jason X - UGH! I like to think that the director/producers just said, "Hey, let's just have fun with this one!". That doesn't really make sense either, though. I don't even know where to being with the stupidity used in the making of this one, not do I have the time or effort to go into it. Freddy vs Jason - I enoyed the hell out of this. It wasn't a GREAT film, but it was a hell of a lot of fun, and Monica Keena running around in a push-up bra for the entire film was perfectly acceptable to me. Ken Kirzinger did a good job as Jason, and Freddy dropped the wise-cracks, and went back to being evil incarnate. Freddy was allowed to hit, IMO, way too much offense on Jason in the final fight, but it's a fine entry in both series, IMO. Last but not least, we have a little info on some new DVD's/Blu-Rays (FINALLY a home, 3-D version of Part 3) for the original series from IconsofFright.com: Here's some "fun" news, from the same site, regarding the Halloween sequel:

Bear in mind that I would have said even worse of Heath Ledger. (Did you see A Knight's Tale?) I must be the only person that half-way liked A Knight's Tale. My girlfriend enjoyed Knight's Tale. The only experience I've had watching it is the Best Buy Blu-Ray demo kiosk where they show a Half DVD/Half Blu-Ray scene from the film to show the added detail of HD.
