Thanks and keep posting such an informative blogs. You may<br />know me by it <br /> The<br /> one worry that keeps most grownups up at night is the worry that they might<br /> not have enough cash to maintain their way of life or live and retire in<br /> comfort. With the blowing up, increasing increasing <a href="http://goldmedalpennystocks.com/" rel="nofollow">Free penny stock<br /> alerts</a>, and higher taxation growing, this is a very actual problem<br /> for most of the inhabitants.

I saw men, women and children with tears in their eyes. Afterwards, as I was leaving the theater, an usher confided in me he thought it was the greatest movie in the history of the movie business. The next day, after fielding numerous calls from agents and directors wanting to meet with me, I answered the door to find Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels standing on my door step, asking if I had a copy of 'the movie'. After viewing it, Flair, with tears in his eyes, shook my hand, while Shawn said he hoped to make a movie as good as mine one day."Scream09noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-3460925119486477802013-01-08T11:24:32.541-07:002013-01-08T11:24:32.541-07:00I've recently taken up referring to any movie ...I've recently taken up referring to any movie that Gene Hackman is in as a Gene Hackman movie.Scream09noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-56473007004640098612013-01-08T01:19:29.770-07:002013-01-08T01:19:29.770-07:00I'm sure you're rightI'm sure you're rightATL2013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-2515146625170212902013-01-07T23:35:13.310-07:002013-01-07T23:35:13.310-07:00One of the things that makes a wrestling adaptatio...One of the things that makes a wrestling adaptation is that the rules of kayfabe are very hard to translate dramatically unless you already know them. I've been working on a wrestling horror story that works amazingly well until you get to the in ring stuff and all of its layers of illusion, anti illusion, etc.<br /><br />The Vince idea could probably work because it's easy to cast the territory owners as out of touch hucksters who clung to rasslin' while Vince is the towering visionary that understands storytelling, drama, spectacle etc etc. Also you have plenty of antagonistic characters in wrestling from Ted Turner to Hulk Hogan himself. Hell, you could basically make it a sprawling epic about two of the biggest egos who achieved so much, and destroyed even more. <br /><br />Foley's seems interesting, but only in a late 90s movie of the week kind of way. It would end up a lot like the terrible Jesse Ventura movie that basically said "what a crazy ride that was" after every anecdote. To make it interesting, you would have to include the idea that Foley is nuts, give it the self referential treatment, and make it about persona, self destruction, yadda yadda.livingonapearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-30796987518000452352013-01-07T22:41:04.268-07:002013-01-07T22:41:04.268-07:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_%281987%29<br /><br />That market crash was in '87.<br /><br />So what you're saying is, we had a good three year stretch in the middle of the decade, from '83 to '87, sandwiched in between a recession at the beginning and a sluggish recovery from a market crash at the end. Being better than the '70s isn't an accomplishment. The '70s were a very bad decade in terms of economic growth.brocorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-25221524251519016852013-01-07T20:39:37.668-07:002013-01-07T20:39:37.668-07:00How about a biopic about Randy Savage and Elizabet...How about a biopic about Randy Savage and Elizabeth, it could be called "Madness" or the rise and fall and rise of Shawn Michaels, which would be called, naturally, "The Showstopper"YankeesHoganTripleHFannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-84931408110779123732013-01-07T20:26:59.655-07:002013-01-07T20:26:59.655-07:00Yeah, I wasn't even alive in the 80s and I kno...Yeah, I wasn't even alive in the 80s and I know the economy was not shitty.

This season was a lot like the WWF Invasion angle in the sense of you were left asking yourself "how did they fuck such a simple concept up?" The bait-and-switch opening from the first episode pissed me off, (main character) so willingly accepting what they find out about (main character) in a "ah shucks, it's cool" kind of way pissed me off and I would say that the ending sets up for a great final season, but that's what I said about Louis and his Ice Truck Killer hand. I was expecting Louis to be a psycho copy-cat serial killer (with his girlfriend being the first victim) and be Dexter's "Trinity" for this season, but no... it's random James Bond villain #275-B... and they even fucked that up. Also, I *love* the one minute scene they gave (detective character) and (detective character), who are all of a sudden buddy-buddy despite being at each others throats last season.<br /><br />Between them acting like season 5 never happened, the entirely pointless-except-for-the-final-five-seconds season 6 and Harrison being more annoying and derivative from the main plot than Rita was, this show has fallen several notches down my list of all-time greats. After season 4 it was Dexter and The Shield battling it out for #1, but thankfully that mental fight will never have to be waged inside of my head ever again.ReinEngelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-31648074464522893832013-01-07T18:17:10.669-07:002013-01-07T18:17:10.669-07:00There is no way that Jerry Lawler knows what Pulp ...There is no way that Jerry Lawler knows what Pulp Fiction is.cultstatusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-10249190931809522652013-01-07T18:00:47.239-07:002013-01-07T18:00:47.239-07:00"Stop saying wrestling!
