I'm honestly hoping Russo's can just give me laughs, and be a good reminder of why he sucks. I wonder why his YouShoot Live never made it onto DVD?
ReplyDeleteThat I came up with "Cena Wins LOL" as the most likely result is a sign of how bad WWE's made MITB look in the last couple years.
ReplyDeleteIf "it" = "graves for WWE's upper management & writers", I might agree.
ReplyDeleteMemories of stuff that happened 50 years ago from a guy who made his living getting punched in the head.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that'll be enthralling.
Oh yeah, watching it as an adult you can really see that Jessie was gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteFriday the 13th Part 7 is known by fans as FriGay the 13th, due to most of the male cast, and a couple females being gay. None are gay on screen, and none were specifically chosen because they were gay... it just happened that way.
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess, you just don't expect to see that kind of subtext in a slasher movie. And it's all subtext (although overt subtext) so it wasn't "the point" as Jessie never actually comes out as gay or anything.
ReplyDeleteI loved the whole Patty Duke Show thing they did. Awesome stuff.
ReplyDeleteBecause FUCK YOU, that's why!
ReplyDeleteNot continuity per se, but I loved the graduation episode of Boy Meets World, where they showed Minkus. and he was like, "Oh, I've been in the part of the school you never go in."
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was funny too. Rosanne was a great show until the last two/three seasons when Rosanne just took full control and the entire show went batshit insane. I still love their Halloween episodes, they had fun with those.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to disagree that they are fun horror movies. The first 8 are supposed to tell a story, and they do... not much continuity stuff bothers me there because, hey, different film makers, different makeup effects people, etc.
ReplyDeleteBut much like the Michael Meyers story changing where he needs to kill his family... Friday the 13th did that arc first with Jason Goes to Hell, the first New Line version of the series. So much stuff in that one, and the next three just bother me... like Jason all of a sudden being a spirit that can transport from body to body, or that he's afraid of water all of a sudden.
I'm not saying I'm right but I always looked at it as the Empire over the 18 years or so had plunged all the planets into economical and technological downfall. When your planetary tax dollars go to building The Death Star(s), there's not much money left to upkeep the cities.
ReplyDeleteI have a theory people in creative/writing of stuff like The Simpsons look down, at least to some degree, of hardcore fans, who can say, "But in season three..." So, I tend to believe that, even if they aren't intentionally saying' Fuck the fans", they're not exactly taking time to check the show's storyline history.
ReplyDeleteThey did that in the early seasons when Homer is a bodyguard for the voice of Itchy and Scratchy.
ReplyDelete"Why would a genius spend his time watching and analyzing a children's cartoon show?"
I have always wanted to see that happen... there is no reason why the MitB cash in can't happen mid match... then they can have the original challenger win and transition into a feud with the new champ, or set up a triple threat.
ReplyDeleteMaffew you should watch Linkara's (Atop the 4th Wall) episode on One More Day (it's his 200th episode special I believe). It's really good and fun to watch him just rip into the whole thing. He made a good point, Mary Jane should have been the one to get shot and dying. Then the whole thing wouldn't have been as stupid.
ReplyDeleteMine?
ReplyDeleteThis is also pretty terrible
ReplyDeleteIt is weird how Gabriel seems to be the only former Nexus guy on the roster that gets less use than its original leader. Even Slater has a regular gig as the go to comedy-Heel Jobber.
ReplyDeleteI like his writing style, I haven't watched Raw in fuck knows how long though, so I can't say if I agree with the opinions or not.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness if Heel Hogan showed and just body slammed Big Show right in the middle of the ring, that would be awesome. Corporate Hogan would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteHaha, seriously. If dude needs to have a review that exactly matches his feelings then...I don't know...write one yourself? Mears seemed to give up after one go so I'm sure Scott would allow another person to review the show.
ReplyDeleteAll the crap he's endured??
ReplyDeleteMeaning that for the past 2 years, he's had one of the most solid and consistant pushes we've seen in ages?? Just because HHH gave him a cheap shot pedigree after a 25 minute match, where Daniel thought HHH was on his side, so he had zero reason to suspect a thing? I... I really don't get it!
Yep, how DARE WWE make a big deal about their biggest draw making a return at the next PPV? I guess they hate money!! (oh wait, it actually makes perfect sense to hype the hell out of it)
ReplyDeleteand ray "big bossman" traylor dragged his casket in a hurse which imo was the stupidest funniest moment in raw history!
ReplyDeleteExactly. The way I look at it is, compare now to 6 months ago. his current spot is 100 times better than it was back then. His early matches with HHH and Cena were just to show the crowd that he's got some potential and can at least hang with those guys a while. That's it, that's all.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Tunney, I remember the Apter mags really ripping into him when he refused to book Hogan-Warrior II because he didn't want them to battle each other past the point of exhaustion and do permanent damage to themselves and each other... and then he wouldn't suspend Earthquake when he kept injuring wrestlers because his general attitude was, "Meh--it's wrestling, people get hurt."
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is they did that One Moment in Time storyline that "explained" what happened in the rewritten storyline, and THAT ended up being what they should have done in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI realize I'm leaving myself open for all sorts of mocking here, but the translation of the Harry Potter novels to the screen really started getting sloppy in the middle. Certain patronuses were never explained, characters weren't fleshed out, etc. The one that really got me though was that Lupin knew absolutely everything there was to know about the Marauder's Map, and Harry didn't even think to ask him why or how. (Of course those of us who read the book knew, but it was never mentioned in the movie.) He was just standing there watching Lupin pack up and leave, and I was practically screaming at my screen, "Why wont you ASK HIM???"
ReplyDeletei knew there was some tension, but didnt know about her primadonna 'tude. it was actually her (on screen) 'tude that i think made her a better choice for the character for when she would stand up for things (esp. when standing up for will). she had the 'i can love you as much as i can kick your ass' thing going for her, while fake aunt viv always seemed too nice
ReplyDeleteMy favorite retcon was when Peter David came back to Hulk and had a storyline where Nightmare had been messing with Hulk's mind for years, thus basically saying everything that happened after David originally left was horseshit. Which it was.
ReplyDeleteBut comics and continuity are generally a trainwreck. Too many cooks in the kitchen. You have different writers, editorial, and now huge companies like Disney putting in their two cents.
However I will say that DC's animated universe was fantastic. Great continuity that started in BTAS and lasted through JLU without getting convoluted.
Wrestling is also awful with continuity but it is usually because the booker/writer just doesn't care enough. But every now and then you get a storyline with a multi-year payoff like Savage and Liz reuniting or Marty Jannety beating Michaels for the IC Title.
You can have her.
ReplyDeleteThis would be awesome if Hogan could still go.
ReplyDeleteA tag team specialist.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically of the "unlikely duo" variety.
Vince gets screwed by HHH and is out for like six months. Comes back.
ReplyDelete"Well if it isn't my son in law Hunter...the second greatest politician in THIS BUSINESS. Oh, but who's the first?"
*Cue Real American*
I don't know that there would be enough interest for me...considering there is just so little out there about pre-1970's wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Hogan trying to pick up Show would be a nice career-ender.
ReplyDeleteThat might be its greatest advantage... so little out there now, here's a fair bit more.
ReplyDeleteBut there's potentially so many negatives... the trailer will be VERY telling on this one.
It doesn't do much for me on paper. Bruno was champ for every one of those years, and the supporting players are unknown, or little known to me.
ReplyDeleteI mean, don't get me wrong, if Bayless reviews it, I'll read it.
It is probably true that Doc drained the gas tank, plus there is no guarantee that the gas tank was full, or even half-full, when Doc got there. But my first thought was along the space/time continuum lines. As soon as they begin to dig up the DeLorean, Marty and DeLorean #2 should vanish, because if the DeLorean isn't left buried, it's not there for Marty to find, so he never could have come back. Theoretically, as long as they intend to re-bury it after siphoning out the fuel, everything should continue as planned, but then we're getting into Bill & Ted territory, where if you just intend to go back and do something, it's already done. There could very well be a scene on a cutting room floor, or an early version of the script, where Marty suggests this and Doc either gives a time travel reason why it won't work, or says that he drained the fuel. Though if he did drain it, wouldn't he keep it around, just for the heck of it.
ReplyDeleteWell Hogan did tear nearly every muscle in his back when he used the power of Hulkamania to hoist Andre the Giant 20 feet in the air before slamming him down to the canvas... at least that's according to Hulk himself!
ReplyDeleteFor what its worth..my screen name is only partially to be an f**k you to the blog. I really wish Hogan would come home.
ReplyDelete"Hey Paul Wight, you're a nasty bastard and your momma said so!"
ReplyDeleteBest quote of the entire Big Show/Big Bossman feud... well that and Bossman's poem:
"It is with deep regret, and tears that are soaked
I'm sorry to hear that your dad finally croaked
He lived a full life on his own terms
Soon he'll be buried and eaten by worms
But if I could have a son as stupid as you
I would wish for cancer so that I may die to
So be brave and be strong
Get your life back on track
'Cause the old bastard's dead and he ain't never comin' back!"
Seemed silly when I was younger but now looking back the whole feud was comedy gold.
To Florida and retirement?
ReplyDeleteAMEN.
CHEERS TO THE HULKSTER HANGING THEM UP!
ReplyDeleteI forgive Marvin Monroe because they never actually killed him. They were just like, "oh yeah, he died, remember?"
ReplyDeleteThe Dominion War = all out war
ReplyDeleteThe Becky thing was doubly bad because the actresses played the characters entirely differently. Becky #2 was a lot more mature and a lot less confrontational.
ReplyDeleteThe one that really bothered me was "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and to a smaller degree "Law & Order: Criminal Intent". Fresh Prince was forever recasting people in different roles, switching out characters, dropping storylines, or whatever they felt like doing. I still watched every week but it was annoying.
ReplyDeleteThat 90's show episode was about as bad as it can get. . . .
ReplyDeleteCena has lost to some weird fucking people.
ReplyDeleteSheamus in 2009 anyone?
If only
ReplyDeleteI believe Topanga's parents were played by three different set of actors/actresses, with entirely different personalities.
ReplyDeleteTo the New York Yankees? Are you telling me Hogan was originally suppose to be on the team before A-Rod?
ReplyDeleteAs I recall it was about nine months or so. . . Still why not just send another letter?
ReplyDeleteI would think less of him if he WASN'T trying to put one over on the rubes...
ReplyDeleteOtunga.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm sure they had plans to push Sheamus, so I'm sure that's why he went over in 09.
ReplyDeleteBesides, that's no weirder than losing to Tensai on a random RAW.
when i was in high school, (early 90's) i was on a huge m*a*s*h kick, and my dad asked me how i would have ended it. not knowing anything about the bob newhart show, i answered that it could have ended with some big event happening, and then hawkeye waking up to find it was all a dream a dream, only to then get his draft notice
ReplyDeletesame thing happened with family matters. they had the 3rd kid (youngest, a daughter) who disappeared a some point, and then i think they always referred to having only two kids
ReplyDeleteGame of thrones season 3 was too different from the book to enjoy. Of course after discovering Steven Erickson I wouldn't piss on asofai books to put out a fire
ReplyDelete'Thank god for Dream Warriors being the next movie and putting the series back on the right track.'
ReplyDeleteall cause of dokken, baby!
beck #1 was perfect for white trash. scrubs girl had too much class
ReplyDeletecontinuity, and errors thereof
ReplyDeleteexplaining said errors
marvel no-prize
'nuff said
in part prob since hey filmed them at the same time
ReplyDeletei always thought that the pic of doc accepting the award was too forced from the "committed" pic. i mean really, he looks like he's tied in some submission move while accepting the award!
ReplyDeleteAlso out of all the nerds here am I really the only one who read that malazan book of the fallen series? I've tossed out a lot of blatant references and never got a response. If you liked the George Martin books you'll go crazy for these. Asoiaf is like summerslam 2013 and that series is wm17. Plus Erickson actually finished his books.
ReplyDeleteShe ended up doing porn
ReplyDeleteAnd "stories that make sense and/or go somewhere DO NOT MATTER.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite angles ever
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena says there's no need for that kind of language - hustle, loyalty, respect, and help out your mom and dad by getting a job so you can help pay for school supplies.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr. Turner, wait up!
ReplyDeleteHogan should have taken a page out of Flair's book - sucking up gets you everywhere. Hulk Hogan barely gets any interest from WWE, likely because he's been such a pain in the asshole to work with over the years, but Ric Flair will find employment even if it's cutting Vince's grass.
ReplyDeleteI read a theory on the Friday the 13th series that basically said each film is a campfire story someone is telling (similar to the opening of Part 2) so that's why he looks different each time and helps explain other continuity issues. I always kinda liked that idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm really a fan of GL retcon about Hal/parallax issue,that opened a door to the whole war of light saga(that i'm finally reading).
ReplyDeleteTwo days in a row I agree with Dougie.
ReplyDeleteMeekin, did you delete my comment about the death of blog otters?
ReplyDeleteI do not have such powers, sir.
