You really are a pious prick Pitcos, still at least it helped you get to average 7 posts every single day you've been on ukff so happy to help

If I ever cast an action movie, Chest is going to be who I base the hero on.

He is truly one of the most caring compassionate people not just in wrestling but in life

You mean in the world? What does he do to deserve this? Because his post up above was a load of knackers - empirical evidence that he's not exactly the most caring person in wrestling, let alone in life.

Also in the feature length film of the same title. Short was made in 1979. Film must have been 1985. Great stuff.

Film was surprisingly late, in 1989 - I remember it being on at the pictures.

Supposed to be a big hoopla as to who actually owns the film now. Never released on DVD. Producers that were actually in the film version (playing themselves) turned out to be crooks in real life. Whole thing is rather murky. Great film though.

Mike Jitlov has a bizarre website, selling WoST merchandise, and old tax forms, and Star Trek cereal boxes.

EDIT - half right. Completed in 83, released in 89.

#AskDixie was trending worldwide on twitter earlier. Just check the feed out. Some vile shit being spewed at her.

 

Here's a crib sheet.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who asked her to hire Tony Schiavone was one of the posters here.

You mean "Tony Shavione", his bootleg alternative.

I don't like anime for the most part, and Galaxy Express 999 is really unwatchably shit, but right now I think I'd come out to this theme. Would mean calling myself Galaxy Express 999, or getting a partner for that tag team name.

BritWres'ers - does Dirk Feelgood still come out to the Baywatch theme? Boring fact: I heard this for the first time when he did his entrance, and turned to UKFFer Catfish Jake and told him "this theme is GREAT!". He was stunned that I'd never seen Baywatch.

Here's a crib sheet.

Ric's arguably the best wrestler ever. He lived up to his potential and more. Gazza was someone who had amazing talent, got injured, turned into a fat bloke, drank a load and his career died out playing for clubs not challenging for anything. Gazza is also mentally ill. Flair's just a mad old bastard who likes to live the life. He's still got all his assets and properties and still earns a lot of money. He'll be living the lifestyle until he dies. He's not broke. As long as he's still earning money, he'll have money. I doubt Gazza's making it to 63.

 

Gazza is a manic depressive who cant see a way of having a happy life. Flair is chasing the goal of continuing to have his happy life.

I wouldn't say that Ric Flair isn't mentally unwell. Also, unless I'm reading things wrongly, Flair is in a spiral that would be hard to step out of - the money coming in isn't likely to increase, and it's pretty much certain to decrease, and the loans, taxes, and sundries coming due are pretty crushing. Of course, people are always going to want to give him money, forgive his loans, etc., and that may even extend to the NC authorities.

Eric Young's a company man, he just does whatever they suggest to him and makes it work. He's never failed in any role they've asked him to do. It's a shame they never really noticed how good he could be, because although he's excellent at playing the fool, he's better than comedy jobber level.

 

Now he's got interests outside of wrestling, like this fishing show he's doing. Someone else spotted how charismatic he is and actually put him to good use. He wouldn't be arsed if TNA handed him his papers anymore, it's clear that he's done as much as he's ever going to do there. It's a shame he's not younger, I would have liked to have seen him in WWE one day. He wouldn't have set the world on fire there, but he'd have been good.

From what I've seen of TNA over the years, he's just like that - he reminds me of Golddust, although he doesn't keep leaving and returning, but sticks around and quietly gets over any shit they throw at him, whilst constantly improving.

I constantly see ads for Eric Young's fishing show, in which he comes across as an ace bloke with a lot of talent and charisma, and a really funny guy. I don't understand why he isn't occupying a lot more time on the show - he's quietly a crossover star in a market that actually make people want to watch TNA.

She's even more brilliant than Victoria Arbiter thought.

They can't even spell "innit" right.

You're boring. EXCITE ME OR I LEAVE!

I went on the Wiki page, because I really want to see this, but can't stomach animal cruelty scenes, so I scrolled down to the Controversy section. Regarding the disclaimer at the end:

In addition to the film's atmosphere of sordid realism, the kangaroo hunting scene contains graphic footage of kangaroos actually being shot. A disclaimer at the conclusion of the movie states:

 

Producers' Note. Photography of the hunting scenes in this film took place during an actual kangaroo hunt conducted by licensed professional hunters. No kangaroos were expressly killed for this motion picture. Because the survival of the Australian kangaroo is seriously threatened these scenes were included with approval of leading animal welfare organisations in Australia and the United Kingdom.

 

The hunt lasted several hours, and gradually wore down the filmmakers. According to cinematographer Brian West, "the hunters were getting really drunk and they started to miss, ... It was becoming this orgy of killing and we [the crew] were getting sick of it." Kangaroos hopped about helplessly with gun wounds and trailing intestines. Producer George Willoughby reportedly fainted after seeing a kangaroo "splattered in a particularly spectacular fashion". The crew orchestrated a power failure in order to end the hunt.

 

At the 2009 Cannes Classic screening of Wake in Fright, 12 people walked out during the kangaroo hunt.

Similarly, I put on Who Can Kill a Child? last night, having never seen it before, because it seemed the most summery of the classic 70s Italian horrors, but it starts with ten full minutes of horrific news footage of various atrocities. Barely seconds in, and there's a lingering scene of a bunch of emaciated corpses being tipped into a mass grave during the Holocaust. Also, most of the dead bodies you see from the various wars and stuff (lots) are children, as it's making some weird, and pointless connection with how children are the ones who suffer the most in conflict and famine. But it's a fun little film, and you'd miss nothing by skipping the first ten minutes, I just felt a bit blindsided and queasy.

 

It's not Italian, bro, it's Espangnole. I've never seen Who Can Kill a Child?, although that was a decent era for Spanish shockers, outside of the Paul Naschy movies. I didn't bore through the synopsis, as I would like to see it

");document.close();, but it sounds like that Brit horror The Children, which I quite liked, along with obviously lots of other killer kids films. Anyone here seen Devil Times Five?

 

I could see the point of the animal killing in Wake in Fright, and it's obviously not as cheap and exploitative as in the Italo cannibal movies (John Morghen and R. Bolla both tell stories about the shit that directors tried to put their actors through to do real animal killings when fake would suffice), but it's very chilling.

Does it feature real animal death? I really can't stomach that shit.

It does, and it's very harrowing.

Wake in Fright is a film that more people should be aware of - the cherry on the top is Chips Rafferty playing a skewed version of his usual quintessential Aussie role. It has a real Hubert Selby Jr. down under vibe.

bAzTNM#1 Fan looks mantastic.

Stop showing off guys some of us aren't hot like you lot lol, nah seriously fair play to bAzTNM#1Fan, Mr UKFF in my opinion if there was such a thing

Oppa!

Been on holiday this week and decided to admit my age and take a long-wave radio along with the shorts and straw hat. First time I've ever listened to TMS for an extended time, let alone a full game. Think I picked the right match to start...

 

Welcome to the team. This weekend's coverage had everything to love about TMS - great cricket, bags of cake discussion, Blowers rapping, grumpy Aussies, celebrity cricket fans, Boycott-baiting, ongoing feuds with members of the crowd, and drama in abundance.

 

TMS on longwave is to be treasured though, as I doubt it'll be around much longer.

I think that the death of TMS would kill about 50% of my spirit.
