Why? Cuz I think a guy who stole all his moves from Japanese guys, is infamous for being a dick backstage, and kicks people in the head in a concussion-inducing manner is just a wee bit overrated?

You thought that South Park's Stupid Spoiled Whore Playset wasn't real? Heh. Remember, an entire generation of kids now base their entire life views on what Fox and MTV's reality shows have told them.

Different laws in different states. Some are so backwards that they basically assume that anytime two minors have sex, it's the male's fault and he should automatically be hit with a rape charge. Doesn't matter if it's a 12-year-old boy being tied up and ravished by a 17-year-old girl, it's ALWAYS the guy's fault according to them.

My thoughts on this whole matter: Meh. Heh. Ha. Ha ha. Hahahaaaa. Ha ha HAAA hee hee heee, heh, ha ha haa haaa HA HA HAAAA, HAHA coughcoughpantpant HA HA HAAAAA HEEHEE HAHA, HAHAHAHAH, BWA HAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, MWA HA HA HAH HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. ...giggle... giggle... greatest Sopranos parody ever. Also, seeing Bret Hart and Bob Costas was pretty fucking unexpected. But, to address one thing: yes, the WWE did death angles already. Katie Vick, Al Wilson, Paul Bearer, Tim White.

True. As much as I often dislike and bitch about Low-Ki, he does have that annoying ability to have unusually good matches with plain vanilla opponents.

You think Vince would risk putting his only begotten son in the ring without getting him trained first? And what about the guys like Goldberg, Ultimate Warrior, Magnum TA, who just start destroying people from the getgo? Yeah, I know Shane ain't exactly the same kind of monster specimen as those guys. But hell, he's often a better worker than half the roster, so I never mind seeing him in the ring.

Yep. Spoilers (aka, "people who spoil") should be placed on a list with folks like rapists and telemarketers as "human beings you can freely beat up without being arrested".

You know what actually made it sound more realistic to me? When he said Paris Hilton DIDN'T do any illegal drugs around him. Someone making the whole thing up would've just talked about how Paris was just as wasted as everyone else. And when the guy who used to be ROBERT DOWNEY JR's handler says he refuses to work for Lohan because she used more drugs than he'd ever seen? Wow. Just, wow.

A-shityeah-men to that one. Another movie with subtle sappho undertones that are never really explored before most of the characters die screaming. And one of the best damn horror movies since... uh... since... well, let's just say a really long time.

Someone else theorized it was Adrianna reincarnated. Personally, I hope it was Chrissy's soul stuck in a cat's body and annoying Paulie forever, that would just be hilarious as hell. IF all that stuff about those people in the diner is true, that is a pretty damned amazing bit of subtle storytelling on Chase's part. IF. (Maybe the black guys were the ones who carjacked Chrissy?) Now THAT'S funny.

What is anyone's real justification for keeping this poor schmuck in jail? "Thus the law doth say so... I vas only following orders!"

The Holy Spirit is basically the Chistian equivalent to the Force. That's the best analogy I can come up with. And yes, some churches spend way, way, way too much time and effort focusing on the relatively minor players in the theology. Satan? Just an angel gone wrong, not God's Evil Twin. The Virgin Mary? A misnomer, since at least one verse pretty clearly says that Mary and Joseph did indeed get on with the fuckin' after Jesus ripped his bloody painful way through her virgin cooter.

Happened. Mongo McMichael. Not a stunning success.

Yep. Nashville TNA crowd >>>> Orlando TNA crowd. I've yet to hear them come up with anything half as cool as the Heel Section hold their fists up black panther style and shouting "Hail Sabin!"

I can live with everything about this finale (especially Phil's hilarious Wile Coyote fate), other than that damned random cut to black. Seriously, what was the point of that? How did it make the episode better, instead of taking the extra three seconds to do a less jarring edit? Yeah, I did think my cable had gone out, cuz that's exactly what happens when it DOES go out, sudden jump-cut to black in the middle of a show. Unless Chase was trying to push the "Tony just died RIGHT THERE NOW" thing... and if he was, then he did it a confusing and overly subtle fashion which required the viewer to read between too damned many lines. This seemed like he was going for the same sort of "The saga never ends!" type cliffhanger sudden ending that Angel did, but it felt more like a damned station error than anything else.

But... Shane didn't book or write any of that. Stephanie did. Shane's never been a major part of the creative team. Stephanie has. Come on, how many times have we heard about Shane pushing for some idea that ended up never happening? Like the WWE website, for example. On the other hand, how many times have you heard about Steph NOT getting her way? Shane's mostly a figurehead and performer; Stephanie is the one who really runs shit.

Huh. I gotta talk movies with you more, you like a lot of the same cheesy shit that I do. A few I stand alone on: House of 1000 Corpses. Yeah, a lot of people like this one... but I'm the only one who liked it better than Devil's Rejects. I liked the goofy funny killers better than the serious sadistic killers. Jaws 3. Such a terrible fucking movie that it comes out the other side being entertaining. Louis Gossett Jr. being an overacting fool is always gold, the 3D effects were ridiculously fake, I dare anyone here to transcribe a single word of the Scottish dude's hilarious gibberish monologue after his friend dies, and some deep dark sick part of me really enjoyed seeing Lea Thompson getting bit by a shark. For naysayers, compare it to Jaws 4... now THAT'S an unentertaining movie. Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yes, straight-up without any humorous comedy voice tracks. I could watch this movie all night, every night. Godzilla 1985. Not sure why. Just liked it. Maybe because it was the only time they really tried to ditch the goofier elements of the Gojira series and go back to the original. Crimewave. Unfairly overlooked early Sam Raimi flick that nobody ever saw. Stalker. Just trying to describe Andrei Tarkovsky's movies to most people is an exercise in driving away humanity. "So it's a movie that's as long as the new King Kong, but a LOT slower... and in Russian... and basically nothing happens... and you paid money for it?!" But to about 1% of the population, including me, they're utterly fascinating. Cannibal Holocaust. Maybe the most offensive piece of shit I've ever seen. The kind of movie I like to have a copy of just so I can freak people out by showing it to them. Always. People point to this as an example of one of Spielberg's "bad" films. I say: bullshit, John Goodman is onscreen too much for any sucking to happen. Alien 3. Okay, I didn't like it per se, compared to the first two Alien movies... but compared to the LAST two, it's a masterpiece indeed. Plus, Charles S. Dutton. Dark Angel: The Ascent. Ah, I miss ye olde days of straight-to-video horror crap. Give me a movie which was obviously shot on the cheap in some unnamed Eastern European hellhole and stars a cast of complete nobodies (unless you're the other guy besides me who knows who Angela Featherstone is) any day, over the bullshit they do now all shot on digital video and starring hasbeens from cancelled TV shows. Friday the 13th, Part 4. Saw this one where Milky mentioned it, and gotta agree. Not even sure why, aside from the strange visual of a young Corey Feldman shaven bald and swinging a machete, but I just dug this one. The Tall Guy. This is one of those movies I don't understand why nobody has heard of it. It's got Jeff Goldblum at his peak before he got caught in the Weird Scientist Dude trap, it's got Emma Thompson of all people getting nekkid in a truly bizarre sex scene, and it's got Rowan Atkinson playing a weird parody of himself as an asshole comedian. Titanic. Yeah, I said it. Blow me.

Well, cool. I seem to be the only guy on the planet who felt this way, but I hated Planet Terror and loved Deathproof, so I certainly wouldn't mind a DVD of just one and not the other, as long as it's still got all the trailers on there. Also, NC-17 cut of Kill Bill? Hell, all they'd have to do for that would be turn the black & white part of the tea house massacre back into color.

I dunno about Roth. The only thing of his I've ever seen was the "Thanksgiving!" trailer in Grindhouse, and I thought it was one of the most repellent and misogynistic things I'd ever seen. Plus, he comes off as a smarmy douchebag in that Scariest Movie Moments thing, at least to me anyway. And finally, I just don't like Saw type horror movies where we sit and watch dumbass teenagers get tortured with power tools for an entire movie. So, having said that, is there really any reason for me to spend money to watch Hostel?

Necro Butcher and Jazz... kewlness. Thanx. Anyone else know of any others?

I won't be watching Tyler Perry's "Why Am I Famous?". I don't get the appeal of some dude making himself dressed up as a crotchety old woman into his entire auteur act. Eddie Murphy has been tanking his career for years doing the exact same shit.

Well, yah. It was so recent I didn't bother mentioning it. But, I mean, it was Donald Frickin Trump, not some sewer mutant who mutilates himself on MTV.

...and I got nothin'. Everything you said was pretty damn reasonable, and even the stuff I disagreed with would lead into such a ridiculously long and detailed episode of hair-splitting that there's no point even going there.

Well, great, Denton's just right down the road, but do they have a website or any other way of telling people when/where their shows are and who's on them?

TNA, nowhere near. I think the fact that Spike won't let them have more than one hour of programming per week pretty much shows you how much they trust their current wrestling product. UFC on the other hand is growing nicely. They don't have the same consistent weekly ratings that the WWE has, but their PPVs tend to do better. (Of course, UFC gets that money, not Spike.)
