The movie is not actually all that bad. It's just very 90s where it wants to be serious but also has a ton of camp in it (see also: most of Stallone's movies in the 90s)
Any time that Scott mentions baseball, it reminds me of the time that some sabredouche tried to say Joey Votto was the best player in the league. Pretty sure I made him cry.
This movie may have killed Costner as an A-lister but at least he still starred in movies. I think I've seen them all, too! My wife made me watch that lifeguard movie with her. Man, did that thing suck.
Actually they started developing it months early to open at the same time as the movie, figured they might take a bath but damned if it didn't take off with guests.
Lol that was amazing. He was a real trooper about it. I wish he would stop having a life and post more often because he was a great guy to have in these live watches.
Jurassic Park 3 has a funny moment where this red T-Rexish dinosaur comes in seemingly to eat them, but once he sees them digging through Dinosaur shit for a phone, he looks at the camera and leaves like, "Man, fuck this shit, I'm going back to the streets where things make sense"
Wasn't that Spinosaurus? Not sure, but I've heard he gets jobbed out in the new film. So much for the Dino Wrestling Federation making new stars. I mean, it's not like that prima donna T-Rex needs to be in the top spot, holding the title anymore. He should put new guys over!
Watched Paddington and Horns today. Very different movies, obviously, and both better than I expected. Padding was actually quite good, even for someone who has never read any of the kid's books; I think they were after my time, at least in this country. Horns was kinda fucked up, but interesting.
Oh yeah, read about all the training they need for the guys doing major underwater stuff and the legal stuff needed to get the okay to perform with all the explosions.
The one thing I've learned about UFC is, Mike and Joe can go out and hype someone like they're unstoppable, but on any given night the guy across from him could be better...even if it's for that one night. Anything can happen.
I take solace knowing the Jays fans won the World Series with the highest payroll in baseball twice, and then spent 20 years whining that baseball needed a salary cap until their billionaire owners let them spend again, and suddenly financial advantages were cool again.But Jays fans tend to think the right's and wrong's of baseball should revolve around what's best for them.
You aren't a big fan of Canadian products, are you? The Blue Jays, Bret Hart....well, those are the only two I can think of. Do you hate Molson and Yak too?
Just so we're clear...I'm not Canadian, so I don't care. I just find it interesting.
Boners! I got to do one!
ReplyDelete10 games in a row just means the picture of Rachel Phelps is a little more naked.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing, the "Waterworld" stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood has proven to be far more popular and longer-lasting than the movie ever was.
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Jays 10-game winning streak is more indicative of how weak the division is moreso than the Jays having any kind of discernible talent.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, I'm a hater. So what of it?
Didnt Kevin Costner drink his own pee pee in Waterworld?
ReplyDeleteHe distiller it though, so it's sanitary
ReplyDeleteYeah it was pretty awesome
ReplyDeleteThe movie is not actually all that bad. It's just very 90s where it wants to be serious but also has a ton of camp in it (see also: most of Stallone's movies in the 90s)
ReplyDeleteShit burger?
ReplyDeleteStill, Costner wrote it and it shows, since he as usual writes himself to be the bravest, coolest badass in the history of the world.
ReplyDeleteBlackhawks!
ReplyDeleteThe only things I know about Waterworld are from Dana Carvey's Ross Perot impression.
ReplyDeleteOnly two of the 10 wins have come against a divisional opponent. Pay attention.
ReplyDeletegotta make that money back somehow
ReplyDeleteAny time that Scott mentions baseball, it reminds me of the time that some sabredouche tried to say Joey Votto was the best player in the league. Pretty sure I made him cry.
ReplyDeleteThis movie may have killed Costner as an A-lister but at least he still starred in movies. I think I've seen them all, too! My wife made me watch that lifeguard movie with her. Man, did that thing suck.
ReplyDeleteHe's back doing movies now! And Arnold, and Michael Keaton, and Kurt Russell...it's like the 90s all over again!
ReplyDeleteActually they started developing it months early to open at the same time as the movie, figured they might take a bath but damned if it didn't take off with guests.
ReplyDeletePeople can evolve in a couple hundred years, right?
ReplyDeleteCue Chelsa Dagger, HAWKS WIN!!
ReplyDeleteBet Scott's happy...
"Also, here's your nightly thread to hopefully follow the Lightning going up 3-2 on the Chicago Poopyheads."
ReplyDeleteHa, fuck your couch, old Canadian Coot! Death to all sports Tampa!
"Also, 10 in a row for the Blue Jays! That means we win the World Series, right?"
ReplyDeleteDidn't work out for the braves, last yeat, sorry.
DAH-DAHDAHDAH
ReplyDeleteDAHDAHDAH
DAH-DAH-DAHDAHDAH!
DAH-DAHDAHDAH
DAHDAHDAH
DAH-DAH-DAHDAHDAH!
So are people posting here I'm confused lol
ReplyDeleteChelsea Chelsea I believe...
ReplyDeleteLotta hate from the Prairies...
ReplyDeleteMake it happen!
ReplyDeleteYou can't live that long.
ReplyDeleteThis match is good, I like the idea of one guy being desperate to get out because that's how he wins hell in a cell matches
ReplyDeleteBut...but...it's the last match...:(
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought Dougie would fear evidence-based argument?
ReplyDeleteTheir big local sport is watching wheat grow.
ReplyDeleteMick doesn't win Cell matches. He gets thrown off and nearly dies. It doesn't make sense for him to leave.
ReplyDeleteThis show has flown by. Both have.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair he doesn't know if he won or lost the last one.
ReplyDeleteThat's a weird strategy.
ReplyDeleteThat's why it's odd. Illinois is the Prairie State after all.
ReplyDelete1999 as a whole did.
ReplyDeleteYeah we're finally back into good times. 99 was dark.
ReplyDeleteGood matches and angles do that.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe it's been 5 hours since we started the Rumble.
ReplyDeleteYeah I rmemeber getting home from Chicago last Sunday and being shocked you guys has already gotten to KotR
ReplyDeleteHuh, I didn't know that. That is weird.
ReplyDeleteFast moving dark though. Way better than 97 where it was slow moving dark.
ReplyDeleteWe normally use Land of Lincoln. Of course Chicago is hardly prairie...
ReplyDeleteEvidence based like DSPOLMNF? Yeah, made up statistics make me quake.
ReplyDeleteRacist.
ReplyDeleteChicago - Look At All Them Polacks!
ReplyDeleteSo yeah. Wheat. Good stuff that wheat.
ReplyDeleteThe undercard of 97 was hideous. 96 too.
ReplyDeleteYou take that back! 97 was great!
ReplyDeleteMan, when was the last time Costner was in a good movie?
ReplyDeleteAnd Pizza!
ReplyDeleteI can smell the pizza cooking. For once I didn't pick off any pepperoni!
ReplyDeleteThe PPVs were death outside of Canadian Stampede and maybe Summerslam. They legit broke me where I had to stop the livewatch for a couple months.
ReplyDeleteYou know why they say, "never let a black cat cross your path"?
ReplyDeleteBecause they'll mug you.
Bad cat! Go outside!
ReplyDeleteGod damn porch monk... porch cats.
ReplyDeleteWhen did we do 95-97? March?
ReplyDeletehttp://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lffltgYCn41qe79q6.jpg
ReplyDeleteI think Feb-Mar yeah.
ReplyDeletePicked up a little after Marv went through the Rumbles.
The best was that It's Time that poor Petuka had to watch by himself because everybody tapped out immediately.
Vito and Nick's... oh yes. I need to get back there, oh and Pierogi Heaven so my ancestors don't rise up and hurt me.
ReplyDeleteHunter already busted open, this won't be the classic but it's still damn good. I dig all the spots off the cage Hunter sells that stuff like a champ.
ReplyDeleteIt's biggest crime seems to be its not Royal Rumble 2000. I think Scott gave it 5 stars originally too.
ReplyDeleteYes sir. I'm paying attention. That's exactly why I said that Toronto doesn't have any discernible talent. Except for maybe Donaldson.
ReplyDeleteWHOA at pegging the steps through the cage!
ReplyDeleteSequels are never as good.
ReplyDeleteLol that was amazing. He was a real trooper about it. I wish he would stop having a life and post more often because he was a great guy to have in these live watches.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that rating.
ReplyDeleteYup, Scott went 5 for both.
ReplyDeleteMy wife used to live a mile from Vito & Nick's when we were dating. Overrated.
ReplyDeleteThat could've fucked some fans so easily.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to enjoy celebrating a 3rd cup in six seasons on Monday night.
ReplyDeletePretty good foresight by Mick to put a handle on the barbed wire 2x4
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this cage have the handholds too?
ReplyDeleteSee...now why would you even bother going up there, dumbass?
ReplyDeleteTriple H is taunting on the top of the cage like he's in a Smackdown game!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the psychology of having rules in wrestling, but somehow an illegal weapon is under the ring and it has a handle on it.
ReplyDeleteHuh. According to wiki, Col. Sanders lived just outside Toronto for the last 15 years of his life.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that.
He wants to jump off onto Triple H.
ReplyDeleteThat Mick fall was like Shawns fall in 97
ReplyDeleteThe cat is making good points!
ReplyDeleteMick isn't good at throwing chairs.
ReplyDeleteNever encourage a cat.
ReplyDeleteTriple H has totally built up like two finisher icons while taunting on the top of the cage.
ReplyDeleteHonestly who is though, it's the most awkward shape ever and you have to side arm that shit
ReplyDeleteThe ECW crowds.
ReplyDeleteDuring this time period, what's the percentage of times Stephs nips were noticeable?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the idea was for the chair spot up there.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot, but I think it gets better later on doesn't it, like during the Steph/Angle/H era?
ReplyDeleteUSED BOTH FINISHER ICONS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was a fan, but usually I'm too far and just get Giordano's like a lazy bastard.
ReplyDeleteIf that breakaway piece of the roof had fallen down with Triple H climbing down that would have been the funniest thing ever.
ReplyDeletehttp://ttecdn.com/lolpics/assets/media/1433956775image.jpg
ReplyDeleteNow that's fucking funny.
A dog. Now there's a real pet.
ReplyDeleteThat is so anti-climactic.
ReplyDeleteAt least we got a good spot to finish what was supposed to be Mick's career.
ReplyDeleteNot enough%
ReplyDeleteSo people leaving this show were under the assumption the main event to Mania would be Heel Big Show v Heel HHH
ReplyDeleteAh say ah say with all the chickens ah eat ah better get free health care!
ReplyDeleteShelton's over there still tweeting about Mad Max "still driving" lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't had Giordano's in eons. Can't even remember what it tastes like. There is an insane amount of good pizza on the SW Side and burbs.
ReplyDeleteReally that's the perfect way to end the 99-00 season lmao.
ReplyDeleteWhere's my love of the game, Jim? It happened 15 years ago, and he was back the next month.
ReplyDeleteThat'll do Mick, that'll do.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU MICK! THANK YOU MICK!
ReplyDeleteTwo spectacular shows
ReplyDeleteBuffer lost his train of thought in that last announcement.
ReplyDeleteYup, great stuff
ReplyDeleteGood watch boys, see ya tomorrow
Wrestlemania 2000 tomorrow before MitB? Say 4 or so?
ReplyDeleteThan start the 2000-01 season Tuesday or so?
Sounds good to me.
ReplyDelete*shakes fist* I have to settle for frozen Home Run Inn... you wouldn't believe the crap people here call pizza.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh.
ReplyDeleteLET'S TURN HHH FACE, PAL!
ReplyDeleteAll this great wrestling makes me want to shower and go to the tavern.
ReplyDeleteI agreed to meet my buddy at the bar. Think I will be as well for like an hour.
ReplyDeleteThat was actually the idea during the Angle feud lol. They really should have done it, people loved Triple H in 2000.
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania 2000 gets a bad rap. I have a soft spot for it.
ReplyDelete"Alright dude I'm gonna have one drink and then - "
ReplyDelete"SHOTS!!!"
"Dammit..."
It's just a weird show and doesn't feel like a Mania
ReplyDeleteJurassic Park 3 has a funny moment where this red T-Rexish dinosaur comes in seemingly to eat them, but once he sees them digging through Dinosaur shit for a phone, he looks at the camera and leaves like, "Man, fuck this shit, I'm going back to the streets where things make sense"
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a cab in case that happens
ReplyDeleteI've done my best to block that film from my memory.
ReplyDeleteEhh, it kinda sucks. It's a "throwback" to the shitty early WrestleManias that are bloated and way too long.
ReplyDeleteIt's chaotic and kinda fits the whole 99-00 season so I'll give it a pass. When given a choice WWF picked the stupid option that year.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories watching it with a group of people losing our minds. The Triangle Ladder Match is insane.
ReplyDeleteThis broken nose/eye swell thing is new to me. Never knew that.
ReplyDeleteThe BoD has had a long argument on whether or not that is TLC 1. I think it's TLC -1
ReplyDeleteJobber and I got into it for the better part of an hour.
ReplyDeleteAt its heart it's TLC before they came up with the name TLC.
ReplyDeleteWhat side did you take?
ReplyDeleteThat it's not a TLC match.
ReplyDeleteNot once do any of them even touch a chair.
Wasn't that Spinosaurus? Not sure, but I've heard he gets jobbed out in the new film. So much for the Dino Wrestling Federation making new stars. I mean, it's not like that prima donna T-Rex needs to be in the top spot, holding the title anymore. He should put new guys over!
ReplyDeleteYou could agree with Jobber and end up arguing an hour.
ReplyDeleteIt needed Micks christening. Tables, Ladders, and Chairs oh my
ReplyDeleteHe was pretty keyed up.
ReplyDeleteJust watched "Kingsman: The Secret Service" on Blu. Pretty nifty little movie. I wonder if it did well enough to merit sequels?
ReplyDeleteThe Spinosaurus was the dino who's shit they were going through. The red dinosaur looked like a mid-carder
ReplyDeleteThey announced a couple days ago, in fact, they're working on a sequel.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the part where they don't use chairs in the match.
ReplyDeleteUgh... just get to the main event already.
ReplyDeleteMain Event ain't on yet? Mercy mercy me.
ReplyDeleteI think over five hours of wrestling wiped everyone out lol.
ReplyDeleteThe dudes acting in it are pretty cool, too. They take pictures with the audience and answer questions. They get roughed up as bad as wrestlers do.
ReplyDeleteThey spent a good chunk of time hyping the next one. McGreggor and all.
ReplyDeleteGilbert Melendez should have been able to finish a guy with one eye.
ReplyDeleteMarks!
ReplyDeleteGot 7 hours tomorrow, too, if we're doing Mania 2000.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe we got to 2600 posts for no reason in the thread lol.
ReplyDeleteThey use a bell. It's TLB.
ReplyDeleteTime to go have some John Dalys.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely...
ReplyDelete[sunglasses]
Unpretty.
Gotta go.
Watched Paddington and Horns today. Very different movies, obviously, and both better than I expected. Padding was actually quite good, even for someone who has never read any of the kid's books; I think they were after my time, at least in this country. Horns was kinda fucked up, but interesting.
ReplyDeleteEyelids sooooo heavy...
ReplyDelete:: singing :: Go to sleeeeep...go to sleeeeep...I won't steal all your ice cream....
ReplyDelete#HOSSLULLABY
I'm going to eat the last Snickers ice cream bar just in case...
ReplyDeleteI can't pick a winner for the first round.
ReplyDeleteCain getting tagged.
ReplyDeleteMenchies is way better and it's better for you!
ReplyDeleteFell asleep for a second... knocked the laptop into my face.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most damage I've seen him take.
ReplyDeletefinish him, Werdum!
ReplyDeleteOff to the bar for a whopping hour and twenty minutes. Uber driver is a druggie. I took this guy a week ago and he has no recollection who I am. Safe.
ReplyDeleteJDS is watching cageside knowing he could have taken either of them out tonight in the first round.
ReplyDeleteWerdum is gassed, but he's winning rounds.
ReplyDeleteCain's face is going to be a modern art masterpiece tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWerdum by tapout!
ReplyDeleteUber driver now crying about the girl he dated for a whole whopping month left him and how he thought she was the one.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, great finish.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, read about all the training they need for the guys doing major underwater stuff and the legal stuff needed to get the okay to perform with all the explosions.
ReplyDeleteWerdum subbed Cain?
ReplyDeleteYep. Guillotine.
ReplyDeleteWOW. I'd been impressed by Werdum lately but I was solidly aboard the Cain hype train. Good to have some new blood up top.
ReplyDeleteOh God, now Cain puked on himself.
ReplyDeleteI said to you fuckers, Werdum was gonna win.
ReplyDeleteBullshit. No way. Two pukes in one night?
ReplyDeleteGreat movie
ReplyDeleteI'll take the redhead
Guitar player was the most badass thing ever
It was all like HiaC Foley/HHH and TLC WM X-Seven.... too much of a car crash insane cluster that it can't be anything but *****
I told you, Werdum wins.
ReplyDeleteHaha, just joking.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good idea.
ReplyDeletewut
ReplyDeleteI saw it in the theater and thought it was pretty good.
ReplyDelete:: google ::
ReplyDeleteFrozen yogurt is never better than ice cream.
Jerk.
Went to a wedding this afternoon. Baby handled it like a pro.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want old ladies near you, don't hold a baby in your arms. It's like a catnip for the wrinkled sector.
The one thing I've learned about UFC is, Mike and Joe can go out and hype someone like they're unstoppable, but on any given night the guy across from him could be better...even if it's for that one night. Anything can happen.
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. U-20 men's soccer team is in the quarterfinals of the U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteHuh, that's cool.
Don't be silly. The Blue Jays win the World Series in November! That way you can celebrate and laugh at all the other teams for 5 months!
ReplyDeleteThe missus and I are off to Dublin tomorrow. You crazy bastards take care. See you all in a week.
ReplyDeleteI'm not prepared to live in a world where the Toronto Blue Jays win the World Series again. Canadian World Champions just makes my head hurt.
ReplyDeleteTurning down a booty call because it's 3am and the 20 minute/$25 cab isn't worth it. I'm getting old.
ReplyDeletewhat movie?
ReplyDeleteHoss will not reproduce.
ReplyDeletealso, gay.
ReplyDeleteI went to a wedding today with my five month old and I can attest to this.
ReplyDeleteMad Max.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably for the best. There would be too much awesome in the world and not enough ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI take solace knowing the Jays fans won the World Series with the highest payroll in baseball twice, and then spent 20 years whining that baseball needed a salary cap until their billionaire owners let them spend again, and suddenly financial advantages were cool again.But Jays fans tend to think the right's and wrong's of baseball should revolve around what's best for them.
ReplyDeleteTotally valid point.
ReplyDeleteAh. Pass.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't a big fan of Canadian products, are you? The Blue Jays, Bret Hart....well, those are the only two I can think of. Do you hate Molson and Yak too?
ReplyDeleteJust so we're clear...I'm not Canadian, so I don't care. I just find it interesting.
