Hawk 34

This is like saying sex is awesome. Who doesn't like wings? I don't think I know a single soul that'd turn away a plate of hot wings covered in any various sauce.

In No Order The Big Ones (250+ Million) Shrek The Third POTC Spiderman 3 Blockbusters (150-250 Million) Transformers (Has a fan base and comes out on ideal date) Evan Almighty (The first installment did big business and Carrel is a popular name) Ocean’s 13 (The 2nd was a bust but people still love these actors) Ratatouille (Pixar Movie is hard to go against) Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix (It’s Harry Potter) I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (Sandler at what he does best with a good comic support in Kevin James and Biel) The Simpsons Movie (Long awaited and loyal fan base) Bourne Ultimatum (Very popular series) Rush Hour 3 (Again, another popular series) Big Hits (100-150 Million) 28 Weeks Later (The first was a hit) Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (Might possibly be the big bust of the summer as well but I’ll play it safe) License to Wed (Romantic Comedy on 4th July weekend with Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John “Jim” Krasinki) Hairspray (Travolta in drag and popular musical? That’ll probably sell) Live Free or Die Hard (Popular series that probably doesn’t have enough to get to the next level) Sleepers Knocked Up (Combine 40 Year Old Virgin with Grey’s Star in goofy premise likely to draw the female demo but bring the comedy for the guys…you got a hit) Nancy Drew (Movies geared toward teen girls tend do well) Sicko (Michael Moore movie. People might still consider him relevant although the topic isn’t as juicy, health care) Halloween (Zombie’s remix might draw a big enough crowd)

Lawler, I got since he's a on-screen presence but Gibson isn't.

I got busy, what happened at the end?

I'm not. I just read that thing about Kelly. Unless she went into LaKisha size, I think she looks better with the thickness instead of the typical Lohan shape.

I'm just glad she didn't stick with the thin look she was approaching some time ago.

I say TNA is a drop below Raw actually but the gap between Raw aside from occasional gems like last night's main event and the occasional Edge awesomeness and the other two WWE brand shows is wide.

It's the best angle right now but SD still had the overall edge thanks to a wider show and more stuff but nothing matches the stuff we're getting from Originals/New Breed. It's really just the Punk-Burke show with some credit to RVD. In fact, since Whitmer-Jacobs was blown off...this might be the best angle in wrestling right now.

To make matters worse, Pujols appeared to be hurt running out a grounder.

That was a heck of a kick Burke took outside, though the G2S didn't work out well.

So much for it being an accident.

Punk's doing physical sign language for the hearing impaired. Punk's a awesome color guy. He should have sat with Tazz and taught him something.

Punk and Burke are great together.

#564 for Griffey Jr. It really should have been him sitting where Barry Bonds is right now. Safe to say America would have cared about that.

Maybe you can adopt the Twins or Indians instead.

Hey, people didn't think Joe could go broadway at one point. Obviously that isn't the case. I'd love to see Umaga work a long match. Lashley? Not a chance.

They were concerned Umaga and Lashley would duplicate last night's match.

No, I haven’t read comic book/graphics since I was a young kid. My entire point, again, is that its not as if the people who follow Watchmen religiously as you apparently do are going to fail at separating the inspiration (or plagiarism, if you’re so adamant) from the original source material. People who are watching Heroes solely and seeing this as if it was 100% original were probably never going to hear of The Watchmen anyways and I’ve seen many reviews and interviews where the creators and cast members directly reference the specific influences. That opens a new portal towards something isn’t as widespread as the standard comics. More attention is good. More piqued interest is good. This isn't about my lack of knowledge about a comic book but rather that you should see this as a good thing as a fan of that specific material. Again. It's a book. It's a TV show. Before you try to make another leap with Carlos Mencia (as if he's the very example of stealing, a process over decades old), what Heroes is doing is completely different from him.

The blatant self-serving nature of this episode is almost more depressing then the footage and performences combined.

Menstealia? Are you 12? You must be since you take such great offense to this apparent plagiarism to a comic book and continuously prattle about this as if it was some injustice. The comparison of Carlos Mencia to Heroes and their inspiration drawn from Watchmen is completely and utterly preposterous. The entire show is littered with inspirations and comparative influences from a great deal of sources. Their isn't any doubt that Watchmen plays a part in the process of this story but it isn't the sole example. The point is, as a show, you create characters, plots and stories to appeal to either a specific niche or you broaden it out and produce a product that works across the board and in doing so, you’ll pick up pieces from other places and entwine them within your own concoction. You’re greatly irritated by the idea that Heroes drawing off some inspiration from this specific example as if it would become a detriment to its chances of getting a movie deal. Heroes isn’t going to harm their chances but rather accelerate their chances. It does more to attract interest in a supposed movie then it does by standing on its own. It’s a comic book. It’s a television show. It’s not a big deal and as I saying in the point that you completely blew past in your rush to make your sophomoric Carlos Mencia blast, is that it doesn’t affect the viewers nor does it affect the comic. As Ripper eluded, it's a stretch to call it a downright rip-off.

I'll never get how this is inspiring. It's depressing as hell.

A very small fraction of the viewers even know what The Watchmen is. It means shit. Every show or anything done in a creative sense is derivative of another source. You're reaching.

That's true and I'm hoping that the G2S was post-show because they have done so well with Punk in this role so far, I'd hate to see them jerk back to exactly where it was 2 weeks ago.

I liked that Edge made sure to say why the obvious main event match didn't start last as it usually would. I was shocked they bothered to explain that move.

I'm all for Punk/Burke but turning him so soon was a mistake. If they plug him with the originals, we got problems. Just go back to New Breed Vs Originals and have Punk either go at it alone or bring in people he "trusts". Punk was gold last week and that whole element could have gone at least another month.
