Bryan is probably the best example. He started out the year as a loathed preachy vegan (with implied wife beater gimmick), now he's doing Make-a-wish stuff. WWE have done well by Bryan, once they realised what they had.

I do sometimes wonder though, how much of Bryan's success in the last year is down to WWE or Bryan himself and his talent/efforts?

After far too many drinks on Friday I agreed to watch or read Harry Potter and give it a chance. I'd managed to successfully avoid the whole franchise for years. Watched Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone last night and it was actually not as bad as I thought it'd be. It still had that CBBC drama thing about it but with more money thrown at it. Not sure whether to watch the rest. Any thoughts?

I didn't much enjoy the first couple, but from around 4/5 onwards I've really enjoyed the Harry Potter films.

Anchorman 2 release date is Dec 20th 2013.

That's a long long wait.

I don't know what is more offensive, the legs or the trainers.

Awesome.

For a short while there I felt 10 again!

Good ol' Hulkamaniafan

Why would anyone want to run a parody account for Jannetty? Their life must be really bad.

I was looking for the thread for an evening with Bret Hart but no joy so far. Can anybody help me ou? Thanks in advance.

Evening with Bret Hart thread here

Punk doesn't want change. Punk wants to be on top. He'd happily see his friends off to the job centre if he was the prime focus of everything and the company was built around him. That became clear when he stayed last summer.

 

How do you work that out? Not trying to start a petty argument that never ends or any of that crap but I am genuinely intrigued as to what you mean.

At the start of his career perhaps, now I think he just wants decent wrestling you can be proud to watch/be part of.

CM Punk seems like a hard guys respect to get. I think it's hard to impress him as a wrestler from what I could tell.

 

In an interview i saw, they asked him which WWE talent deserves a push the most, his answer: Dean Ambrose

 

I've never seen Ambrose wrestle but just off of his little shield interview I could tell he was awesome.

He certainly has something and I only saw that interview as well. Punk has always wanted change and I can understand him pushing this guy. He showed more intrigue and charisma in that interview than I've seen in a lot more of the current roster in years.

Its working for me, but there's only a couple of us. Unless we're in the wrong room!

Nephew wanted to see the Three Stooges and it wasn't as painful as I expected. If it wasn't for Larry David as a bad tempered sister and Sofia Vergaras who is always a dab hand at comedy it would have been tougher to get through. It wasn't as predictable as most of those slapstick comedy films normally turn out to be.

Just noticed on Twitter that the Miz and Eve Torres have invaded the Fashion Police studio. The Miz and Joan Rivers is a match made in hell!

I'll give it my best shot! Breaking Dawn twist

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

I was dragged along to watch Twilight Breaking Dawn Pt2 with the masses on Friday night. Its probably the best film of the bunch with a little more humour and Michael Sheen (who steals the show). It is worth the watch to see the emotional rollercoaster that the audience of die hard fans go on, with one of the best twists in a film I've seen in a while. Funny as fu

He's still on Facebook. I think a couple of posters annoyed him too much and he's taking some time away for his own sanity.

He has a facebook? Thinking back to the old TWCF days I find him the most intriguing of all the posters here.

and they are so comfy. Love em.

Fantastic thread and thank you to HG for going to the trouble, its been a great read and some of the comments were hilarious.

I'm going to see Jack Dee on the 17th with the girlfriend, my sister and her fella.

 

It's the first tour he's done since 2005 so I hope it's good. No doubt my sister's boyfriend will be doing his best to be more miserable than Dee though. And he's not getting paid for it.

I went to his show on Sunday and he's not as miserable as you might expect! It was really good and it feels more like he's just chatting to you as a mate rather than being a stand up. Good show.

Ian Brady is such a tremendous nomination on so many levels.

Was that me? My awful memory means I'm relying on quotes in the thread to see who I hated on that particular day.

("I want it known how much I hate this cunt. I fucking despise him. Back when Manchester bid for the Olympics, this shitbag did everything in his power to make it clear that we should never be hosting the Olympics for oh so many reasons - we're not big enough, we're too northern, we're too busy down't pit to host it, presumably. Alright, maybe we don't have enough size and infrastructure to host the Olympics. Fair enough. Even me, as the most blinkered Manchester lover you will find, will happily admit that. But you then ask that the whole of Britain gets behind London when they host the Games because it's 'OUR' Games. FUCK YOU. I loved the Olympics and London did a great job and I actually really like London and I've spent many great and beautiful days out there with my wife and kids both separately and together. I'm really pleased it went so well. But don't you fucking DARE come out with this bullshit that the whole country should join arms and support the bid and the subsequent Games when you yourself did not lift one finger to endorse the bids that Manchester put in, nor the bid that Manchester put in for the Commonwealth Games, which was an unmitigated success, may I add. Quite the opposite. You publicly damned our bids. You're a lying, disingenuous cunt. And a Tory one at that. I HATE YOU AND I'M GLAD STEVE OVETT BEAT YOU."
