Monday Night Open Mic

By Corey
Hello BoD'ers,

The final Monday Night Open Mic of 2013. We don't have NFL Monday Night Football but there are a couple of college games on and a bunch of NBA, College basketball and NHL action across the board. I originally thought RAW was in the can tonight but apparently it's not and there's the potential of a Brock Lesnar return so I'm going to keep my eyes open for that one. Not sure why they would waste a Brock appearance on what's likely to be one of the lesser watched programs of the year. Oh well, not my company.

So for the final time in 2013, enjoy your evening and come out swinging but please try to keep it clean.

    Hopefully Murphy's absence is a little longer. I'm a little under 400 comments away from passing him.

    Waste it and not try to promote it, makes sense for a company in the midst of contract negotiations and in need of primo (n. colon) ratings

    You leak info about Lesnar possibly being there instead of promoting it to get more social media buzz, at the expense of trying to get ratings that probably won't materialize on a holiday week. The new media rules are counter-intuitive.

    Pre-Show Topic


    So I saw The Hobbit this weekend and the theater damn near revolted at the ending. I loved it, but it got me wondering, what film endings have caused patrons to boo or jeer at a screening you attended?

    I'm really waiting for an investor at one of those conferences to call them out on the counterintuitive nature of their social media campaign. Or, rather, pose them the question of why they seem to think it's such a boon when it clearly has no demonstrable effect on business.

    Without getting into spoilers, the problem wasn't really with the ending itself, but rather that it ended where it did, since it kind of left the film feeling anticlimactic. People leaving the theater were grumbling that this was just a commercial for next year's film, which I think is overly harsh, since I loved the hell out of it.


    I mean, yeah, Peter Jackson added a TON of shit that wasn't in the books, a lot of it being shit Tolkien never would have abided. Worse, he added it to the exclusion of things that actually did happen in the original story, for no discernible reason. But I was still totally entertained by it, and didn't think the film deserved to get booed over its closing credits.

    ReplyDelete
  22. cultstatusDecember 30, 2013 at 5:57 PM

    I liked it well enough, but the Hobbit films just feel so different from the LOTR films that if you told me some hack like Louis Leterrier directed them, I wouldn't be shocked.


    But as for the ending, I don't see how it could have ended any other way.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Steven FerrariDecember 30, 2013 at 5:58 PM

    I haven't seen either of the two Hobbit films released, but I'm curious: does it work turning the rather small book that was the Hobbit into three films?

    SEO and social media marketing is a maddening thing and I can't imagine having to try and explain it to someone like Vince... which is a decent segue to point out that the site I have been doing SEO for http://getridofcable.net had its best day ever today.

    I had to try and explain SEO to my boss today - I imagine he's a lot like Vince when it comes to this sort of thing. It was one of the most frustrating experiences of 2013.

    On a completely related note, I will be spending the evening watching Raw, participating in the live thread (to try and pass that 1500 mark) and looking for a new job.

    The biggest problem with WWE right now is the commentary, you have a bunch of goobers at ringside now who can't tell an in-ring story to save their lives, listening to a crazy, megalomanical owner who was a horrible announcer back in the day.



    The could have kept JR on in an advisory capacity for the announce team. But no, let Vince handle that. We should consider ourselves lucky Cole isn't screaming WHATAMANUEVER! every time someone does a high spot.

    The crazy thing was, I think Vince actually WAS a pretty good announcer back in the late 80's/early 90's. Sure he didn't know the names of many of the holds, but he was enthusiastic, and generally stayed in the moment of the match.

    He didn't even seem to know the names of half of his employees. But yes, Vince was still worlds better than this mess. I wonder how much of that, though, was because of Ventura being his broadcast partner.

    I never play with the volume on anymore. I listened to the commentary in 2K14 as I was doing the early Wrestlemania years and got freaked when I figured they were having JR and the King ape the commentary from the original announce team, so I just throw something on Netflix when I play now.

    Of all the upstarts on the roster, I just have a weird feeling that Rollins is going to be a huge breakout. Not necessarily a boom-starter, but a potentially insanely popular Jeff Hardy-type figure.
