  1. I'm wondering, are any of these guys the MEM took out, booked on the PPV? They're acting like Joe will never be seen again, but I thought he was in that 6 man tag match. Same for Bubba Ray. Is Devon booked by himself, or will Bubba Ray show up too so they can have a tag match against somebody?


  2. Wasn't Venis vs. Punk the match that HBK and HHH thought was terrible?

     

    I don't know. I remember hearing at the time that they thought CM Punk had a horrible match against somebody (they most likely didn't want him to succeed anyway), but I never found out who that was against. Even though the match with Venus went about 5 minutes, I didn't think it was bad or anything. Hell, Kizarny's debut match maybe got the same amount of time, and I thought that really was terrible. I'm surprised he hasn't been cut already after that.


  3. This reminds me a few months ago where I said the world would end if Val Venus got released, so watch out guys. As for a decent Val Venus match, how about the one with CM Punk on Heat back in 2005? I thought that was pretty good. D-Lo being released was very obvious as I wondered why WWE signed him in the first place, since he doesn't have the nastalgia of the Attitude era, and he's not a new guy either, so he was kind of stuck in the middle. I kinda want WWE to just release guys like Kennedy and Umaga already. Not only because of my personal opinion of them, but also because Kennedy has been injured WAY too many times, and will go nowhere as a babyface. As for Umaga, that gimmick has just ran its course, and he would suck as a babyface too.


  4. There needs to be a CGI remake of Super Mario Bros. Have it actually follow the source material, and give it an epic feel, it could work. I've always thought the story of Mario was excellent, even if there isn't that much to tell. As for Judge Dredd, I've never read any of those comics, but I did hear that the movie completely missed the point of it. Even Stallone said in an interview one time that he thought that movie had great potential, but it just backfired.


  5. 3. Vantage Point - After 2 or 3 of the 6 vantage points are shown I 100% lost interest in finishing the movie and figured out who the bad guy was, even though it was obvious in the first act. Just a movie that didn't have to be made

     

    Oh God! I completely forgot that I even watched this movie earlier in the year. It was AWFUL. Just like you said, I really HATED that shit where they repeat the same scene over and over again. After about a half hour or so, I just wanted to stop watching too. This was a movie that deserved to be bashed more than it did. Most people said it was mediocre, but I thought it was TERRIBLE. Hell, I even thought The Happening was better!


  6. The real crime here is lumping in Jet with the Stooges and MC5, as if the former deserved to be in the same company with the latter. They don't. Jet is the Hinder of the garage-rock set.

     

    I don't like Hinder one damn bit, but I can think of a worse band than them. How about Three Days Grace? I think they are the worst band of today.


  7. I don't know. I guess I had super high hopes for this album. I'll lower my expectations and give it a second listen.

     

    Trust me. It does get better the 2nd time around. The songs I thought were most helped by a 2nd listen were "Shackler's Revenge" and "If the World".


  8. What's wrong with Jet? It's fun rock and roll. This album right here is such a disappointment for me. It sounds like every other modern rock band on the radio right now. There is nothing GnR about it at all. It's way too bland. 14 years to make this pile of dog shit? I'm sorry.

     

    I can see why some people may not like this album, as it sounds nothing like GNR at all, but calling it BLAND!? This album was anything but bland, as just about every song on it jumps into other musical genres. The first time I listened to it, I didn't know what the hell to think, but when I got drunk for new years, I thought this album was better the 2nd time listening to it. Being drunk most likely helped. I also found it hilarious in the song Madagascar that the same Cool Hand Luke quote that was used in the song "Civil War" was used in that song as well!


  9. Wolverine (trailer looked awesome)

    Watchmen (never read the graphic novel, but the story sounds cool, and the hype has gotten to me)

    Wolfman (After that abomination of a movie known as Van Helsing came out, hopefully Universal makes a tasteful remake, love the casting for this too)

     

    There are a bunch of other movies coming out that I will see, but I'm not really anticipating them, like G.I. Joe, Transformers 2, Crank 2, Sherlock Holmes, Terminator Salvation, and Public Enemies.

     

     


  10. I agree with everything you said Jingus, about Pan's Labyrinth. It is Del Toro's most acclaimed work, but I found it to be the weakest film that I've seen from him. Both Hellboy films I thought were easily superior. And I didn't remember Pan's Labyrinth being marketed as a kid's movie, since its rated R, but it was marketed as a fantasy film, so I expected the whole movie to be fantasy, and not just about 4 scenes or so.


  11. I have a feeling that The Spirit is going to become a cult film.

     

    It probably will, as on Roger Ebert's website, he gave the movie * star, but the users gave it ****. I've never seen such a huge difference in opinion from his review and the users like that before. About the closest thing I recall was Spawn. He gave that ***1/2 stars, and the users gave it *1/2 or something.


  12. I still like the idea of making this an epic storyline involving not only Edge, Jeff, Christian and Matt but also involving Kizarny and Hurricane Helms.

     

    You're fascination with Kizarny is truly bizarre.

     

    I have no idea why he mentioned Hurricane Helms. :huh:

     

     

     

     


  13. What was with all of this Kelly/Orton stuff? I didn't remember hearing anything like that mentioned on the show last night. I guess I need to pay attention more often. It seems like every day, everyone talks about Cena. There is either people who hate him, or people that defend him. It seems like there's hardly anyone who's in the middle. I can't really decide my opinion of Cena, as every week I switch from being apathetic towards him, to then hating him. Last night I definetely hated him during that horrible attempt at comedy in that backstage promo. Thats the exact proof of why people hate Cena.


  14. I got Chinese Democracy for Christmas, and I thought it was one of the most weird albums I've ever heard. There was pretty much no consistent style for the whole album. If anyone hasn't listened to it yet, don't expect the whole album to be like the title track, as it is the only normal sounding song on the album. The next track "Shackler's Revenge" took a complete 180 and is pretty much a straight up industrial song. I was laughing hysterically throughout it. I don't even know what rating to give this album really, but it was pretty fast paced for something that was about 70 mins long.


  15. About 2 years ago, I was really hoping WWE would get rid of that damn spinner belt, but I gave up hope of that happening once I saw that the belt didn't actually spin anymore, and instead it was just a silly design that stood still. I thought that was WWE's way of saying "fuck you" to anyone who disliked the belt, as they wanted to keep that hideous thing, but make us shut up a bit by not spinning anymore. As for the new ECW title, I like it. The silver look is something new and different, but doesn't come off as tasteless. It was good that it was made a little bit bigger too than the original title.


  16. I actually saw The Spirit yesterday, and I don't know what the hell I just saw. I didn't really think it was nearly as bad as critics made it out to be, but it wasn't a GOOD movie either, just mediocre. I did however, enjoy it a hell of a lot more than that Day the Earth Stood Still remake. That remake might have been the 3rd worst film I've seen this year, behind The Happening and Hancock. As for Sin City 2, I've pretty much given up all hope of that even being made at this point. If it was going to be made, it would have came out some time last year. It doesn't seem like the kind of sequel that would come a few years after the first.


  17. For proof how good Robin can be as a character, look up the classic Batman: TAS eps "Robin's Reckoning"

     

    More part 1 than 2, but still.

     

    True. I'm not really much of a Robin fan either, but I will admit that Robin's Reckoning was a great 2-part episode. It may actually be my favorite out of the animated series.
