Aw, guys, quit picking on him, it's like challenging Zac Gowen to a 100-yard dash. Try to educate the little fella instead of just mocking him.

Actually, I agree. Punk is always hailed as one of the best wrestlers on earth, but he's just not that damned good. His physical execution is often sloppy; he's clumsier and not as crisp as similar top-tier indy guys like Danielson, Homicide, Styles, Joe, etc. And way too many of his spots (like the minute-long stalling suplex) just seem tailor-made to pop the smart marks and are so goofy that it makes it really hard for me to suspend my disbelief. Plus, he just doesn't look intimidating; it's hard for me not to laugh when I'm supposed to buy this ratty-looking fucker as someone who can take Samoa Joe to an hour draw. And finally it doesn't help that I've heard from a lot of people that he's a complete asshole as a person.

I've never seen Lost, mostly cuz the basic "stranded on a desert island" setting didn't do anything for me. And I know I'd get cranky about the little details like everyone keeping their hygiene squeaky clean despite being stuck on the aforementioned desert island. Just a guess: do all the women have smoothly shaved legs? Oz is another one that just didn't appeal to me because of the setting. I don't care how awesome the acting/writing/directing are, I don't want to see a show in which man-on-man assrape is a common theme. Sopranos fucking rules. Easily my favorite drama on TV right now. I love every single thing about this show. Homicide was great. Much, much better than L&A. But yeah it did drop off a bit once half the original cast had left. 24 perfectly fits the "check your brain at the door" description. I watched the first season, and was pretty disgusted by the hundredth time that Jack/his wife/his kid/his coworkers were kidnapped by terrorists within the same day. I haven't seen The Shield, mostly just cuz I never got around to it. It looks like something that would appeal to me, I'm sure I'll check out the DVDs someday.

Um... didn't we overthrow the Taliban's regime in Afghanistan? Why the hell are theocratic laws like that still being enforced?

Are you kidding? The last three minutes or so was the best part. You had: the most overdone death scene this side of Con Air, a touching farewell tribute speech to Isaac Hayes, and then... Darth Chef. Solid GOLD bay-bee. I'd say that this was fucking brilliant and hilarious, but I'd just be repeating what everyone else said.

Gunfire. And if anyone bitches about my methods, more gunfire.

A side note on Sandman's entrance: it only worked right at ECW shows. I was present for that entrance at least a couple dozen times at TNA, and half the crowd couldn't have cared less.

Even down here in the cracker-ass South, $700 for two bedrooms is a sweeeeeeet deal. Even crappy one-roomers out in the boonies or in a shitty neighborhood usually go for at least $400.

Promethea and Tom Strong were the only Moore books I never got into; other than that, he's guaranteed good times. I pretty much agree with you on Constantine, but I do wonder what it might've been like if it had been set in London with, say, Jude Law playing the character.

I don't care if the other 58 minutes are devoted to Bullet vs. Konnan in an ironman wheelchair match, I will watch this show just to see Joe beat up Borash.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but when I saw this topic the very first thing that sprung to mind was Jerry Lynn in the WWF. You'd be surprised at how many fans nowadays have no idea that Lynn actually held a title belt in the Fed.

800 SAT verbal here too. Also got a 34 on my ACT despite missing at least 20 minutes of the test and being distracted throughout by a massive diahrrea attack. 150 IQ. ...of course, I dropped out of college, live with my family, and have no job and no car. Intelligence is terribly overrated.

I doubt the heterosexuality and/or sanity of any man who would willingly divorce both Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman. What I'm wondering: are Matt-n-Trey gonna take the classy route and just quietly drop Chef from the show, or will they take their vengeance with furious anger and much mocking of Mr. Hayes?

Never have, never will. That's why I cringe whenever there's talk of making a Watchmen movie. LXG was so unforgivably bad in so many ways. I don't understand why moviemakers take an existing property and then change EVERYTHING that made it so good in the firstg place. Constantine was better than it had any right to be, true, but it still doesn't come near what the comic was in its prime.

I can confirm a little bit of this. I was talking with a TNA wrestler about the Dudleys, he said that D'Von is a great guy, smooth as silk in the ring, but Bubba is "just a big stiff asshole" who can knock your head into next week without even trying.

Anyone who names any movie that has come out in the past 20 years as "worst ever" clearly needs to watch more Mystery Science Theater, because there were movies back in the day where they literally couldn't even keep the camera focused on whatever it was pointing at. Yeah, Battlefield Earth was fucking lame, but it looks like a masterpiece when you compare it to something like Manos: The Hands of Fate or anything Ed Wood ever did.

Yeesh, some of you are overreacting to this. So some guy is pissed off at his employer, what else is new? That part was very true. I've seen news stories and/or blurbs on TV that called the creative minds behind these movies "brave". Uh, no they weren't. Michael Moore making a movie which directly attacks the president for two hours: THAT'S brave. Any actor who willingly strips naked for the camera: THAT'S brave. Stuntmen who risk their lives on a daily basis for our entertainment: THAT'S brave. Writing/producing/directing a movie featuring ideas that have been commonly accepted for decades: NOT brave.

Milosevic himself didn't help speed his trial up any, as he constantly refused to cooperate even the slightest bit, constantly claiming that everything they said was a lie (even in the face of damning evidence) and saying that nobody in the world had the right or the authority to charge him with anything. As to his death, I feel a Denis Leary quote coming on: "Oh well, whattafuckin'tragedy."

I love the pops that are so monstrous that it actually causes equipment malfunctions. Like at November 2 Remember '96, when Sabu appeared in the ring with Taz, and the crowd screamed so loud that it actually overloaded the microphones and everything sounded metallic and robotlike. Or any of the various 90's All Japan main event matches, where they'd pop so hard for the nearfalls that the hard camera would vibrate.

You should be glad to have a mom who's so, uh, with it. My mom watches nothing but Monk and QVC.

Get a Toyota. Period. My old Corolla lasted for eight years and over 130,000 miles. The only major problem I ever had was that I once had to replace the starter. And that's despite the fact that I was negligent as hell about getting the oil changed in a timely fashion and other maintenence issues. It took plowing it into a semi on the interstate at about 50 mph to finally kill the poor thing. And even though it's "totalled", not street legal, and looks pretty sorry, IT STILL DRIVES. The Japanese who made this thing outta look next into curing cancer, cuz I bet it'd only take them a couple of months.

If society sucks so much now, then when would you rather have been born? If you were anything other than a rich white dude, just being alive pretty much sucked hardcore until the past few decades. Our crime rate is lower and our education standards are higher now than any time in recent history. Yeah, the whole War On Terror is a downer, but it's a helluva lot better than worrying that the Soviets were gonna nuke the earth back to the stone age or that Nixon was gonna draft you into going to Vietnam. People don't take as much personal responsibilty now, that's true. But that's mostly because they don't have to. Modern medicine, social services like welfare, the ability to sue the shit out of anyone who wrongs you, all this stuff makes it so that people can make stupid decisions and not die from them. Modern technology and society has essentially subverted Darwinism in a major way. That does have some sucky side effects, but it does certainly help out the unfortunate people who really need that kind of shit. A hundred years ago, if a 12-year-old girl was raped and got pregnant, if she was lucky enough to survive the ensuing childbirth then her life was basically over. If a child was born with a serious deformity, they didn't have a lot to look forward to for the rest of their life. If a black person pissed off whitey, he'd better be able to run really fast and hope they didn't have guns or else his life was forfeit. Nowadays we have safeguards to help with those types of situations. ...and what the hell do the Beatles have to do with anything? I can probably count the number of their songs I know on one hand. But I've still got an IQ of 150 and love to piss off people by randomly quoting Shakespeare in a pompous manner. Knowledge doesn't equal intelligence.

According to Ebert's review, the comic's original writer Alan Moore has disowned this movie. And I don't blame him. He's quite possibly the greatest comic book writer in history, but look at the films that they've made out of his works: The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, Constantine, and the various Swamp Thing opuses. Hollywood has consistently taken his books, which were incredibly deep and intellectual, and turned them into dumbass action thrillers. I'd be pissed too.

And get with the politically correct times, ya barbarian, it's spelled "ghey".

I've never been to Mardi Gras. Get back to writing pr0n and quit yer bitchin, whiner.
