Hmm, I like this blog post. It's similar to one I've been thinking of making. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:54
and remember this is a 71- year old retired cop. I cant even imagine the level of doucheness he must have displayed before decided to murder someone. -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 10:50 1
- and breaking news: Douchelord will be held without bond. - Jovian Jan 14, 10:52
Most memorable (read: not necessarily 'best') trailer you've seen recently? - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:46 36
- That Costner movie, 3 Days to Kill. Good action with just the right hint of humor. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 14, 11:02

      - Constantine is the bomb. - Jovian Jan 14, 10:56 21
        
        I did not expect it to be as good as it was. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 11:03
        
        I take it you heard that NBC has green lit a pilot (like, in the last 24 hours), right? -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:01 18
        
        god I love NBC and Fox solely for the fact they are the only networks who tryout some different type shows - Jovian Jan 14, 11:05 1
        
        Well, the CW kind of opened this door with Smallville and now Arrow. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:14
        
        I just saw Fox is going to be doing a Batman series????? -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 11:02 15
        
        With everyone *except* Batman. Bruce Wayne, yes. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:06 10
        
        bzzt. wrong. Just announced yesterday..Bruce Wayne will be on show as a 12 year old...we will be seeing him grow up... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 11:14 9
        
        "Bruce Wayne, yes." -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:20 4
        
        at the TCA the tv guy said the last shot is him putting on the cowl. So they're going Smallville route. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:23 3
        
        Well, it's good to know that the worst idea of the year is already claimed. - David Jan 14, 11:30 1
        
        The sad thing is, Batman/Superman will make this look like a masterpiece. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:32
        
        Uhm, 75% of his training was in other countries. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:25
        
        I kind of hate you right now. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:15 3
        
        I hate everything about this. The argument about the villains coming into being *because* of Batman will be totally negated. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:22 1
        
        I don't think it will quite go that route, I think we'll see them on thier path to thier fate.... - Remlik Jan 14, 11:25
        
        goal achieved! - Remlik Jan 14, 11:18
        
        Yes - eag Jan 14, 11:04 2
        
        Not really any more. spoils? - Spawn Jan 14, 11:13 1
        
        Its sounds like there version of Smallville -- nm - eag Jan 14, 11:16
        
        yea called Gotham City or something I believe -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 11:03
        
        word. hopefully they do the proposed TV show near as good -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:57
  - obviously it`s going to be dreadful, but I still kinda wanna see it. what the hell is wrong with me -- nm - mud Jan 14, 10:50 4
    - It will be glorious. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 11:01
    - Oh, it's the Underworld people so I'm right there with you. Plus, they cast the lead grrrrrreat. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:56
    - oh Spawn and I are going. I love the Underworld movies, this is right up that alley of craptastic fun monster movies -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:54
    - heh I do too. -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Jan 14, 10:52
- Bad Words redband trailer. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:47
- Muppets Most Wanted. - @hotfudge1218 Jan 14, 10:47 1
  - It's like he's taunting people who haven't seen it -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 11:21
Daily Kos must be having an orgasm. Picture of Christie with Wildstein, "guy he barely knows", during 3rd day of bridge closure. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 14, 10:44 4
- Christie is not looking at him at all. They're really reaching here. -- nm - Inigo Jan 14, 10:48 2
  - Yeah, I think it's a bit of a reach. It was just a 9/11 commemoration. Not to be flippant about 9/11, but ceremonial functions are not that memorable - mara Jan 14, 10:55
  - So is Wildstein, in that picture. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 14, 10:54
- Hey, you can take a picture of both sides of the gloryhole but it doesn't mean I know the g- nevermind. -- nm - Max Jan 14, 10:45
Governing by CR is so great, Missouri wants to do it too! -- (link) - spamlet Jan 14, 10:44
If you're going to ban texting during previews you might as well lock the doors when they start. Latecomers are far more distracting. -- nm - Max Jan 14, 10:44 2
- Latecomers who expect you to move over 2 seats so they can sit together can burn in hell. - Shaun Jan 14, 10:45
- I wouldn't mind this either -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:45
Bud Selig hopes to get booed in...I mean visit all 30 ballparks next year as part of a fairwell tour for his retirement -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:41 3
- How is it news that the Commissioner of Major League Baseball will visit all 30 ballparks in a season? - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 14, 11:09
- self indulgent ass. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:42
- This will not end well. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 10:42
Jim Caldwell new coach of the Detroit Lions -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:39 2
- *shorts Lions futures* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 11:11
- *blank stare* -- nm - Jim Caldwell Jan 14, 10:58
essentially imo, until the movie starts and the lights are completely out, you should be able to txt and talk to people you are with. -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 10:39 10
- yeah, I don't really agree. I like seeing trailers, and want to be able to without distraction. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:39 9
  - For me, the issue comes down to when. There is -always- something on the screen, even when we are an hour early. - David Jan 14, 10:47
  - dont get me wrong, im not saying to chat loudly or txt if you dont need to - Jovian Jan 14, 10:43
  - this -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:41
  - You know they have those on computers now, right? -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 10:41 2
    - trailers are still a big part of the movie experience for me. I rarely go and really enjoy them (my wife almost never watches trailers either) - Beaker Jan 14, 10:43
    - I often go opening night, so there are occasionally trailers I have not seen in there. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:42
  - But, during the twenty minutes of concession ads and fucking car ads, I don't see it being an issue -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:40 2
    - right, for sure. I am usually playing WWF or surfing facebook during those. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:41
    - Sure, but once the trailers start, turn your damn phone off and stfu. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:41
"you are hereby sentenced to eat 20-25 dicks." -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:35 6
- can I get the balls, too? -- nm - Andrew Zimmern Jan 14, 11:12
- aka the new community service. -- nm - Inigo Jan 14, 10:42
- we call it the "Lohan Package" nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:37
- In a row? -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 10:37
- L4 - Diva Jan 14, 10:37
- [Belch] Bring ‘em! -- nm - Pam Poovey Jan 14, 10:37
can't you see our love of wrestling is tearing us apart!?! -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:34 9
- that and the love or hate of texting in a movie theater -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 10:36 2
  - I have yet to receive a text that couldn't wait 2hrs. - Mel Profit Jan 14, 10:42 1
    - listen I hear you. but I am just not going to get upset or annoyed at anyone in a theater until the movie starts. -- nm - Jovian Jan 14, 10:57
- (psst ... it's all just a gimmick ... ride it out. this too shall pass) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:35 5
  - but it's real! (I remember arguing with my mother 25-30 years ago or so that wrestling was real) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:36 4
    - yeah ... i went thru that for some time as well back in the '80s ... remember the big Hogan / Savage thing where Savage turned on Hogan on 1 of ,,, - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:40 2
      - iirc, that was on a Main Event on a Friday. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:43 1
        
        ok, i stand corrected on that one ... thanks (?) :) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:45
    - hell, I applied to Buddy Rogers wrestling school in Junior Year of High School. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:38
*shoots B2* -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 10:34
Rabid wolverine! -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:34 37
- Benoit's career is much like Kane's imo. Neither was ever *the guy* for an organization that was healthy, however both had moments at the top but - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:39 36
  - The best analog for Benoit was probably Brett Hart. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:46 28
    - Disagree. - groiny Jan 14, 10:51 19
      - I -like- Brett Hart and I still fast forwarded through his interviews. - David Jan 14, 10:52 18
        
        for sure. Brett is in my all time top 5 favorites. - groiny Jan 14, 10:53 11
        
        Benoit had that as well, and that's the point. Benoit was the guy in ECW who proved himself the most, and that's the highest compliment I can give. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:55 10
        
        I know very little about ECW, I did not watch it then. - groiny Jan 14, 10:59 9
        
        If you get WWE Channel, you should spend the first month watching ECW. - David Jan 14, 11:01 8
        
        show me a guy who sells a lot of merchandise, and I will show you a top tier wrestler. - groiny Jan 14, 11:04 3
        
        Cena has sold a country ton of stuff. He's still a goofy white guy that most people over 15 despise. - David Jan 14, 11:07 2
        
        he is....but I've seen Cena when he was OVW. he can go...he can do other stuff, he just doesn't need to and hasn't for 10 years... - Remlik Jan 14, 11:12 1
        
        He pulls out a new move for many pay-per-views. I'll never understand the hate for Cena. He is a decent wrestler with uncanny strength who has put - pmb Jan 14, 11:53
        
        Becuase pro wrestling isn't about who's best..it's about who makes the most revenue for the company. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:03 3
        
        That's like saying Grey's Anatomy is better than Justified because it gets higher ratings. - David Jan 14, 11:06 2
        
        Wrestling isn't a high enough art form for people to care much beyond "Who made the most money." - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:26 1
        
        I think that the people on this board are the first ones I have ever seen evaluate wrestling based upon "Who made the most money." - David Jan 14, 11:29
        
        the big thing I always liked about Bret is that he says the best thing of his career is never hurting anyone in the ring -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:53 5
        
        I completely agree and that's why it espeically sucks that Goldberg may have caused his stroke. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:55 3
        
        at least he did not get dropped from the ceiling. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 11:05 2
        
        Have you seen the War Games where Sid almost kills a guy that way? -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:09 1
        
        Ooh, it's on YouTube. -- (link) - David Jan 14, 11:11 [youtube]
        
        other than punching out Vince (but that was backstage) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:54
    - Hart was one of the most recognizable athletes in the World at one point. No comparison -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:46 7
      - He had a bland personality and tremendous ring skill. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:51 5
        
        but he had a gimmick, with the razor shades, and the pink and leather ring garb. - groiny Jan 14, 10:52
        
        ahh, I see that comparison certainly (but he was miles better on the mic than Benoit). -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:52 3
        
        Bret Hart improved with time on the mic - eag Jan 14, 10:58 1
        
        Benoit would have been fine on the mic in 1979. - groiny Jan 14, 11:00
        
        it took everything Benoit had not to drool all over himself when on the mic. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:54
      - throw in his tag team time with The Anvil and he is a no-doubt HOFer -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:48
  - that's kind of what I was arguing earlier ... Benoit was right there ready to be a superstar ...granted, ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:43 1
    - while I tend to agree with you...the business was changing...and at his age he really was the gatekeeper for the Upper Mid Card guys... - Remlik Jan 14, 10:46
  - Jericho has always said over the past few years that when he got to the WWE he was an idiot. thought he knew everything... - Remlik Jan 14, 10:43 3
    - Plus everyone knows that The Spinerooni was the most devastating move in wrestling. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:44 2
      - The Worm! -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:45 1
        
        no .. gotta go w/ the spinarooni -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:58
  - Groiny --- Jericho has the better personality, but he had a *lot* of trouble adjusting to the WWE style. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:43
I want a friggin steak. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 10:34 3
- Yeah, me too. That's why I'm making steak fajitas tonight! -- nm - CQ Jan 14, 10:34 2
  - Ooh. What kind of steak do you use in your fajitas? -- nm - @hotfudge1218 Jan 14, 10:46
  - imma get me some steak from somewhere this week. eff it. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 10:36
