Hannibal Scorch

Off work so have been catching up on some films. The Invite is a much better movie than Olivia Wilde’s previous movie, Don’t Worry Darling. A captivating 4 hander which really resonated with me. Maybe not the right time to watch it emotionally, but really recommend it as it’s a type of film we see so really. Penelope Cruz is the standout for me, but everyone is good. I Love Boosters is even more insane than Sorry to Bother You. I think Boots Riley is a great fantastical director. Taking a relatively simple idea for a film (A gang of people who steal clothes) and turning it into a wacky and wild 2 hour adventure comedy. I hadn’t seen anything of this, and I recommend you do the same. Could have done with more Will Poulter though. Very late on Backrooms, but it was what I expected it to be for the most part. But really enjoyed it and it kept me firmly interested from the start. I wonder what they will do with the concept going forward.

Apparently Zach Cregger cut out a load of jokes after the first test screenings. That’s a director’s cut I’d love to see.

I blame you guys hyping it up. Because I thought the first 2/3 of Resident Evil were really good. I can’t remember the last time I got such good jump scares in a movie. But I thought the final act was a bit meh. And I’m not completely sure why, but I remember feeling the same with Weapons. It will definitely be watched again and I was surprised with the direction . Also I thought the film looked beautiful, especially the bit pre title card. He’s a talented director for sure, but he’s not topped Barbarian for me yet. That said I think anyone who wants a movie adaptation of the games will never been satisfied. The concept of this was great.

Fun fact, this was Roman’s second match on Raw since it launched on Netflix.

The falls counts match in London was so much fun that I made my non wrestling fan daughter watch it who found it very entertaining when The use of CAW Red and Green from the WWE games was also inspired.

Once you’ve used a Japanese toilet, life will never be as good. Especially if you remember to press the heated water button once you’ve concluded. Life changing.

Anyone else watching Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling? For those unaware Mystery Wrestling debuted in 2023. A show where you don’t know who you’re going to see, hence the Mystery. But events often fall around AEW shows and you’ll often see some familiar faces. Orange Cassidy showed up in London, and the show before that had some Death Riders. It leans very heavily into comedy so it’s not for everyone, but I went to their first London show, and had an absolutely fun time. Even bumping into (not literally) Wrestle Me’s Marc Haynes. They had another event last night which included current champion Johnny Mystery (Nitro/Morrison) defend his title and brought out a ref with an “IMAX” camera to film his match as Nolan intended. When they have a show they live stream on YouTube and Twitch, but once it’s over, you can only watch them if you’re a Patreon. Anyway as no-one was talking about it I thought I’d start a thread and see if anyone else watched, or maybe just made you aware of it for their next show at the end of September. Here’s where you can see some older shows and bits https://youtube.com/@mysterywrestling?si=XvEZMDoYJj2K0ria

@Supremo I’ve seen a number of people on socials who either went to, or watched All In as an introduction to AEW, or a lapsed fan who decided to give it another go and came out converted. Been very good to see. @RedTwoster One of my mutuals complained about Meltzers star rating for Kenny/Will saying how could anyone enjoy that spot fest over Grande/Grande, ignoring the fact that was also very spot heavy. So not everyone agrees. That said, seen a few pretty AEW negative accounts give the match its due.

@RedTwoster her opening line in her first promo was “This anime girl comes straight from a manga panel”. It was game over from that point on. If you’re gonna do a gimmick you need to understand it. Now if that was written for her, they need firing as well.

@Supremo just so happens that Will’s mum is also called Sue

@SuperBacon did you happen to be in Birmingham the other day?
