Ah, perfect timing, I've been wanting a new title.

Hey Michelle, I got your PM but I accidentally deleted it, pleez send again. I remember Milky refused to tell me on instant messenger last night what it was exactly, said I just had to see it myself to believe it. And you have to go all cloak-n-dagger with threatening to reveal secret messages from someone else which aren't confirmed by any other source? Dude, if Czech is hassling you, just do what I do, call him an asshole every once in a while. Hey presto, nobody making fun of you, lively chatter on the board continues, everybody's happy. Actually, I think this thread might've made some people happier than the usual insult-trading, but you get my general gist.

This is the gheyest bit of drama since... uh... maybe ever. With an even worse secret reveal than "Chris Abyss shot his father in the back, who might've been Jim Mitchell, we're not sure". Stop talking about my penis. Please no. Matilda was my first girlfriend's name, and I still talk to her. I would hate to ever associate her with something like this. Don't you hate it when that happens, you go into a chat and instantly someone else leaves? You know it's probably coincedence, but in the back of your mind you wonder if they think you're contagious. Great impression. Now do one of Marney when she starts talking like a Borg. There is nothing I can possibly add to make that any funnier. Based on the evidence in this thread, that last one might present a problem. HEY! TSM isn't important either! I know I was.

In theory, they could've done something with those three guys, as they all had at least a little talent and had success in other positions. But all of them were past their expiration date. Albert's gimmick was just being a big ugly guy, and teaming with Test for a year had convinced the audience that he sucked. Justin Credible had approximately zero momentum; the WWF audience didn't know him, and any leftover ECW marks hated his guts. Put together, nobody gave a shit. And that horrible, horrible entrance music sure wasn't helping. And then... X-Pac. I've always been mystified at the "change the channel" nature of X-Pac heat, since it's not like the guy is the worst wrestler on earth. Maybe the fans just never bought him turning on Kane and then beating him up a lot. Maybe they just despised his tag-team with Road Dogg, which had zero chemistry and produced a lot of boring matches. Maybe they were just beyond sick of crotch-chops and the Bronco Buster. Whatever it is, after 1999 you couldn't even pay people to like watching this guy. I just don't get the awesome level of visceral hatred that so many people have for a guy of his talent level.

The Sperm says, know your role and open your mouth.

Yeah, like Umaga, Kennedy, and Test winning their title matches last year. Or Mark Henry and Edge the year before. Cena (who can't possibly have finished his recovery yet) wins the rumble? Jeff loses his match clean and gets his entire huge buildup over the last three months just pissed away? Fuck this show.

Well obviously, it's The Mist. or, Sounds like the work of the Umbrella Corporation. Look out for monsters.

How often does that happen? "Well, he led a dirty campaign to steal the victory, but at least he made the trains run on time!"

Firstly, the car chase scenes were just fucking awesome. I usually don't give a shit about car chases, there have been thousands of them and most of them all look alike. But the ones in Death Proof were truly spectacular. Even if the rest of the movie was nothing but Tarantino sitting on a couch and eating Cheetos for an hour, I still would give it a thumbs up just based on the carmageddon alone. Secondly, I thought Stuntman Mike was a hell of a villain. The way Russell played him, he could be creepy or charming, sadistic or cowardly, and it all worked. He was a memorable and unique entry in the Sociopathic Heels of film history. Thirdly: your main problem seems to be with the actresses and their dialogue. Well, I liked that part too. I thought all of them did just fine in portraying their characters, even if Tracie Thoms's lip-smacking recitation of her overbaked 70s blaxploitation one-liners did get old by the end. I had no problem with all the dialogue scenes, I found them amusing. I would willingly watch an entire movie of just these girls talking, with no car chases, and probably be entertained by it. Would such a movie be better than Jackie Brown? Of course not. But just saying "Jackie Brown > Death Proof" doesn't mean that the inferior choice is worthless.

Better than Grier? Overall, no. But stop acting like you're the official arbiter of movie quality. You didn't like it, cool, explain why you didn't like it and leave it there. Don't call people names because they like mustard while you like ketchup.

90. Bobby Lashley wasn't in the most entertaining match of all time, Kennel In A Cell.

And what makes you officially more credible to judge what is Good or Not Good instead of him?

I didn't watch the Democratic debates either. Wanna know the only relevant difference between me and Beck in this comparison? I don't make my living as a political commentator. It's his goddamn job to cover this stuff. I'm assuming he did watch the Republican debates? Funny how he didn't happen to have a life on that night. It's pure partisan pettiness.

49. Lashley never got superplexed off the top of a fucking cage by Hogan.

Hi new guy. Recommendations: 1. Use a time machine and stop yourself from making this thread. For some reason, the locals get cranky towards the "hello! I'm new person X!" threads which pop up here about once a month. 2. If you're a girl, don't let anyone here know it. 3. Never assume anything that anyone says is meant to be taken seriously. 4. If in your homeland you happen to know a girl who's in her late 20s and named Sophie Verfloet, tell her that "Mr. Van Daan" from Tennessee says hi.

30. Bossman never had someone pretend to be his girlfriend and release a fake statement online. Meltzer says "Kristal's" statement is bogus.

17. Bossman didn't claim to have invented the "big man jumping straight up to the ring apron" that Goldberg, Lesnar, and others had been doing for years.

There have been a few others. Indigo, welshjerichomark, TSA, Satanic Angel, that old girlfriend of Dames's, Anya, and a couple other anonymous ones who didn't advertise their gender and nobody ever really knew they were girls.

Except for people like me who did find the chicks to be sympathetic and were entertained by the dialogue. Does the fact that Tarantino happens to make movies which I mostly enjoy watching make me a "blind mark"? Meanwhile, I've never found anything directed by Robert Rodriguez to be anything but average at best (besides Sin City, of course). He tends to specialize in overly sadistic, mean-spirited action flicks in which the violence is more gruesome than thrilling. And before anyone goes "well Tarantino does the same thing", consider the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs. The camera archly wanders away right at the most sickening moment. If Rodriguez had been making it, you would've gotten a gross closeup of the ear being sliced away. Has Rudy Ray Moore ever made a good movie, aside from maybe Dolemite? I still get shuddery flashbacks to the time I watched Petey Wheatstraw, The Devil's Son-In-Law".

This is the greatest thing in the history of men in tights pretending to fight. A true must-see match.

Huh? Ever since the war started, I've heard countless news outlets talking about the administration's various descents into creative storytelling, especially the WMDs debacle and "Saddam Osama". There have been God only knows how many stories about it. Sure, you've got many conservative diehards out there who are like "Well, that's not exactly what the President said...", but they're not exactly a media majority.

Fatty Arbuckle was framed, dammit.

Why are people so adamant that it couldn't have beem a simple suicide? The dude did just go through a divorce. And over-the-counter sleeping pills are the most common method used for people killing themselves in this country. I am terribly upset that people already used the Kevin Sullivan/Geraldo Rivera references that were the first thing I thought of when I read Yuna's post.

Upon further research, turns out you're right. My mom's a public school teacher, and she had to go into work, so I just kinda assumed. It does seem kind of hypocritical to say it's enough of a holiday for the kids to stay home, but not enough of one for the teachers to do the same.
