In Bruges. Absolutely amazing, the best film I've seen this year so far.

At a press conference promoting the 7/2 Raw brand house in Santiago, Chile yesterday, Carlito took aim at Triple H and his marriage to Stephanie McMahon. Carlito spoke in Spanish, and there are two slightly different interpretations online from PWInsider.com and the Puerto Rican wrestling news site PRWrestling.com. Thanks to reader Nizzo, we were able to get a translation of what Carlito said according to the PRWrestling.com news post on the story.When asked about Triple H

The chokeslam through the ring was many months earlier I think, when Big Show was in the Union and Taker was in the Corporate Ministry.I've just been reading recaps and it seems like Big Show's babyface turn then consisted of nothing. He lost the tag titles to Rock and Mankind on Raw, and on Smackdown he fought HHH. That Smackdown had Vince booking HHH in matches against all five of his "Unforgiven six pack match" opponents. But then on Raw after the PPV, Big Show was booked against Jericho, a heel. From nowhere, he started feuding with Prince Albert and Droz, which I guess made him a babyface.His heel turn a few months later was rubbish as well, he just got booed because he wanted to win the Royal Rumble that Rock was in.

Think his old man died and he won over the crowd, or he was the suprise man in a 3 way at Survivor Series after Austin got ran down. I think. May it was the other way round.

He was already a babyface by Survivor Series. He won a match against Bossman's team earlier on on the PPV, then got thrown in as the surprise entrant. For a while before that, Bossman was picking on him about his dad dying, but was he a heel when Bossman started doing that?

Thanks chaps. Wasn't specifically after singles, it's nice to have the dates for both.My next question - how exactly did Big Show's September/October 1999 babyface turn happen? I know Show had about a dozen turns that year, so a few more details. In September, he was Undertaker's lackey, and an all-round heel feuding with the Rock 'n' Sock Connection. By Survivor Series, he was a sympathetic good guy getting tortured by the Bossman.

Small point, but I possibly described it badly. The transition was more from 'corporate' Dude Love to a slightly amalgamated Mankind. By Survivor Series, which may have been the first full time, he started wrestling in a full suit, which got more destroyed as the PPV went on.

I was watching again by Survivor Series (and rewatched that PPV a few weeks ago) so I remember the tux well, I just didn't get how Mankind started wearing a shirt in the first place. In late '97, around the time he was feuding with Kane, he was still wearing the brown outfit. Then there was the run where he was Cactus and Corporate Dude, and the next time I saw Mankind he had a shirt on. Was there a specific angle where he put the mask back on?A new question - outside of the traditional 10+ man battle royals and royal rumbles, when was the first time the WWF presented a match with more than two "sides"? Like a triple threat or fatal 4 way type thing. Was it the February 1997 In Your House?

When exactly did Mankind start wearing a shirt to the ring, and how was it explained? I believe it was somewhere between Over The Edge '98 (where Foley wrestled as Dude Love) and King of the Ring '98 (Hell in the Cell).

It was to do with his on/off corporate relationship with Vince - Foley mentions it in his first book IIRC

Yep, it was after Over The Edge, when he dressed up 'professionally' for Vince McMahon. He'd dressed up outside of the ring before that (including having false teeth), but I *think* the explanation was that Vince blamed him for losing against Austin, and Mankind took this to be rejection. He started wearing the same clothes, and the explanation was that he was depressed/dishevelled, etc.This was all part of a slow face turn, as he became 'Mick Foley the underdog'.

Cheers. I wasn't watching Raw regularly then so missed that transition from Dude Love to "corporate" Mankind. As luck would have it, I picked up boxes of old stuff from my parents loft yesterday, and the first Foley book was in there. I might have a read through it.

Why did Kimchee wear a mask? I know there were logistical reasons (like hiding the Brooklyn Brawler's face) but was there ever an explanation given for why the character didn't show his face?

I Want Candy is an acceptable, middle-of-the-road Britcom. At least that's what I think of it. Saw it in the cinema, and kind of enjoyed it, but I'd never have the urge to watch it again.

This looks like it could be pretty funny, but I really hate the way its being advertised over here (presumably the Brand-centric advertising is for this country only).I like Brand, but I hate it when they overly-rely on selling a film to be by the stars in it... It just makes me expect the film to be lazy, and reliant on the actor(s) being the draw.

I've got this feeling that the distributors have overestimated how famous/popular Russell Brand is. Knocked Up took months to come out here after America (ie our cinemas got the prints that had already been played for ages in the US), yet this is out only five days later. So not only have they actually made a shitload of prints for the UK release, they've also released it on a Wednesday, which is normally only done for huge blockbusters like Matrix and Harry Potter type stuff. He is the fourth main character in the film, and he definitely shines more than Sarah Marshall herself. He's been singled out by a lot of reviews and stuff. I haven't seen the advertising here but from what I've heard them say, it seems like they think he is The Most Famous Man in England and that everyone will rush out to see him in a film.

That's certainly the impression I've got from this new "Ashton vs. Cameron" whatever the fuck it's called film that I've seen advertised recently...

Based on the names and posters, I'd never been interested in it. But saw a trailer for it last night and it didn't look shit. I don't fancy me chances of stomaching the pair of them for a couple of hours, mind.

I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. I love the Judd Apatow comedies and I'm a huge fan of Russell Brand, so I've been looking forward to this one for ages. Didn't quite live up to the high expectations I'd set, but still a cracking comedy and I think I'll see it again tonight (if I see a free preview screening and really like the film, I tend to pay to see it again when it's released). I'd place it like this: Superbad > 40 Year Old Virgin > Forgetting Sarah Marshall > Knocked Up.
