I was surprised nobody in WWE has stolen Kenny Omega's One Winged Angel finisher, but turns out a guy in NXT basically does do it. -- nm - Tim Aug 14, 18:00 5
- Which wrestler? -- (edited) - David Aug 14, 18:04 4
  - Oddly enough, Seth Rollins' new finisher is his short arm into knee lift, which Omega modified from Okada's Rainmaker. -- (edited) - Tim Aug 14, 18:07 3
    - Okada's Rainmaker is probably the most dramatic move in wrestling. - David Aug 14, 18:09 2
      - (wow, Okada's only 29.) - Tim Aug 14, 18:18 1
        
        If you didn't know... - David Aug 14, 18:21
Armageddon is apparently a Lifetime movie. -- nm - Dano Aug 14, 18:00 2
- Of course. the daughter in that movie has daddy issues -- nm - Bacon Aug 14, 18:02 1
  - It is unusual though, in that the woman is totally ready for a boyfriend and has found the perfect one for her. - Max Aug 14, 18:26

- does Deep Rising count as sci-fi? i think so. I win. -- nm - Beaker Aug 14, 18:19 1

- Capricorn One -- nm - Bacon Aug 14, 18:14 2
  - Never seen it. Does OJ Simpson play a killer alien? -- nm - Max Aug 14, 18:15 1

- Would The Guest count? -- nm - Dano Aug 14, 18:03 6
  - I suppose. It looks a bit drama-y and not enough space station-y for my evening. -- nm - Max Aug 14, 18:10 5
    - Unrelated but remind me: have you seen You're Next? It seems like totally your type of film. -- nm - David Aug 14, 18:11 4
      - You never want to do anything interesting any more. -- nm - Dano Aug 14, 18:15 1
        
        I'd reply with the proper quote, but it's Game of Thrones-y in its ick factor. -- nm - David Aug 14, 18:16
      - It is indeed my type of film, currently sitting at #11 on my big board for 2013, and it feels like it should rank higher. -- (link) - Max Aug 14, 18:15 1

- Red Planet -- nm - prayformojo Aug 14, 18:01 1

  - I could see some people saying that out of simple ignorance, but not with the rest of what you know about him. :/ -- nm - b. Aug 14, 17:53
- Are they suggesting that originally Nazis weren't that bad and we shouldn't tarnish their good name ? -- nm - Andie Aug 14, 17:49 4
  - I think the best read is that it's more that the current lot are extra dumb. -- nm - b. Aug 14, 17:52
  - that they are not quality enough to be proper Nazis. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 17:50 2
    - Right. They are shitty at being stiefelnazi, and they are shitty at being krawattennazi. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 18:05 1

        It's basically impossible for that to happen. - David Aug 14, 18:24
        
        Actually, I'd probably play out the line the direction I'm going regardless. However, I should speak up for everyone. -- nm - crash davis Aug 14, 18:18 1
        
        Well, the tide seems to be against you so far, but please keep arguing. It's important to have the conversation. - David Aug 14, 18:20
