Jobber of the Week

Actually, INHD is a non-PPV network that's part of Digital Classic. I'm not looking for full HDTV. I just want letterboxed movies so I can blow up the image. Sure it won't look all that good, but movies are made in wide aspect ratios and more and more people are buying widescreen DVDs instead of pan & scan, more and more average consumers are finally figuring out that letterbox is better, etc. 'Sides, Rant, you were the person who eventually talked me into looking at HDTV. Well, you and Mark Cuban rambling about HDNet on MSNBC.

I don't believe we have an actual HD PPV channel. If we do, I didn't know, as they are all titled iNPPV. Just KPIX (CBS), KNTV (NBC), KGO (ABC), KQED (PBS), ESPN, HBO and the others (which I guess I'm going to have to subscribe to for good looking movies from here on out), and two channels called INHD which seem to be the "Ooh, you own an HD set you lucky dog, here's National Geographic vistas to show your friends" channel. HD aside, I've become accustomed to letterbox. iNDemand seems to be catering to the crowd that's still buying full-screen DVDs.

Whoa, for a crackrat this is suprisingly readable. I agree with him on almost everything, even Jericho.

My guess is it's a lie, Also, we had a neighbor with a 6'4 13 year old when I was in my mid-teens and well shorter than he was, so it can happen. Fucker always used to go faster than me on bicycles all the time, until he crashed out and almost broke something. And guess who was nearby and had to help support him all the way home? Go try and carry Shaq O'Neal for a block and you'll know what I felt like when I got home.

Actually, I thought it was sad that he was banned, and I hope it wasn't for this thread. He certainly wasn't putting his best effort into his writing, but he just came off fired up and not like an h4u idiot. In fact, what he said really wasn't that bad, pity he didn't take a chill pill first.

While GameFAQs is a great site for the resources it's named after, it's message boards are a cesspool that would make some of our most stupid banned posters look smart by comparison. It's the kind of board where you'll find people named ~123xxVEGETAxx456~ complaining that the show sucked because it didn't have Undertaker on it.

Dude. You pirate from both satellite providers, and the screwed you? Hoping that I don't derail this topic by doing so, but may I suggest you actually pay for something? Dish will give you Impact! and other programming reliably on their $30/mo plan, and unless you're too young to get a job that should be affordable. Anyway, to keep this somewhat on topic, I agree with NoCalMike, and I hadn't been watching TNA since the Dupp Cupp days. I agree with him on the southerner thing as well, although even way back then they had that NASCAR driver delivering a kick to the crotch to a wrestler, so I know better.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... If this is true, then how am I still here? Oh, wait....

Well, I'm not familiar with Kash but I know he's been around a while, but when they came out of the tunnel I immediately had flashbacks to Shawn and Kev, even if they weren't acting like it at all. That "big guy with long dark hair and small annoying guy with long dirty blonde hair" routine made it a little hard not to think about it, and I wasn't even watching the WWF back then and have only seen a few videos of that period. But as he started hair flipping, then the choking, then the boot-oriented offense, the whole Big Kev thing was like a prophecy fulfilled.

Show just finished here. Seemed solid from start to finish, but I wouldn't order the PPV for two reasons: 1) I'm not interested enough in wrestling to spend money on it. 2) I have access to alt.binaries.pro-wrestling and could download it for free. When it comes to attracting the 'smart' internet crowd, I'm sure TNA will have no problem with #1, since most fans spend more on wrestling than I do, including the guys in the crowd where I saw a variety of masks, belts, etc. Not sure what they can do about #2 though.

What Dish package do you have? Everything from America's Top 60 Plus and higher lets you choose at least one of the regional Fox Sports Net channels. EDIT: Nevermind, just read the rest of the thread. So far, Dallas has done three things: (1) Be tall (2) Flip his hair (3) Choke somebody out with his boot You know, when indie wrestlers are training to someday become Kevin Nash, I get afraid for the future.

Watching it right now. First match just ended and they're playing that "JEFF JARETT HAS BECOME KING OF THE OFFICE" ad. Six sided ring is alright. I think it makes the show look less like a low-rent SmackDown, which is good. I don't like the clock and text at the top (and sometimes bottom) of the screen, though, because it's distracting. I have a widescreen TV and can just crop that stuff out by blowing up the image to fill the screen, but still...

I don't mind cheap to purchase production music (some memorable WWF themes were production music), but make it sound like it's being played out of something more than an 8-Track player hooked up to two busted old speakers.

Well, around here, it's the best you'll get for those "this movie may look like dung, but it's actually CANDY FOR THE MIND" new-age reviews.

Keeping to the REAL topic:

Okay, but when it comes to "media elites"....

So, wait... You've changed your mind? This is unprecedented.

URLs to prove what I was talking about above: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...DTL&type=movies http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file...LVGQ82L4CU1.DTL http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file...EDG9P2GBAM1.DTL http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file...EDGB22EFFU1.DTL http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file...15/DD101138.DTL That was much worse than anything Passion received. LaSalle gave Passion the "man sitting at attention" icon, which is a 3 out of 5. However, his hate mail on Kill Bill was pretty good if nothing else:

I guess you weren't reading the SF Chron. For three days, they were doing hatchet jobs on Kill Bill. It actually got so bad that I wrote a letter to them and nearly sent it in before realizing that, yeah, I wasn't going to see the movie so I probably shouldn't care THAT much.

Well, I wasn't fanning the flames of the Franken/Limbaugh fire, but simply addressing that "noone will want to listen to this" complaint of, oh, last month? Of course, you've dodged the issue and harped on other points instead. Good for you!

At the same time, if he doesn't do anything about it looks like either it's working or he can't deny their message. Besides, it's nothing compared to what Clinton was doing, and voters didn't mind that either. BTW, a Google News search shows that the only two places that are reporting this in a serarch for Kerry "middle finger" are NewsMax and WashTimes quoting NewsMax's article. I rest my case.

Sorry buddy, but Janet Jackson. And THAT backlash was from both the left and the right, and that "OMG LOOK AT OUR FILTHY SOCIETY" backlash pissed me off big-time. Traditionally, it's been the right that stands around outside protesting movies that they've never seen before. While it would not suprise me if Mr Gibson personally is anti-semetic from interviews he's given surrounding the movie's release, I haven't seen his film and I have nothing to say about it. To me, I think the biggest connection between Passion and Moore's movie is that few people would have watched either of them if someone (Jews or Disney) didn't get their panties in a bunch about them.

New York is a heavily populated area, and allegedly nobody is interested in left-wing radio in the first place, which is why I posted this.

Are you aware of the whole situation regarding that? He wasn't asked if he thought it was ironic blah blah blah, a guy in a Hanoi John shirt told him to leave. If someone was that blatant to me, I'd do the same, even with the press watching.

They don't overwhelmingly approve of marriage, but they don't all think they're immoral and disgusting either. A Newseek poll found that while only 28% of Americans support gay marriage (and remember, there's a lot of people who don't who still don't think gay people are evil), in the 18-29 crowd that number is 41%. Consider that Vince's target group is pretty much that age range, and it makes sense that perhaps ridiculous gay characters might turn off a good chunk of the kind of people whose money he wants.
