I wouldn't say the end of January was around a year.  How long does a fucking chocolate bar have to be on sale before it's considered old these days? 

So it has. I never realised how long Darkmilk had been around for.  Well the Aero ones are new anyway

Anyone tried those new Cadbury Darkmilk bars? they're nice but they are quite thin.  You'd be better off just buying a bar of Bourneville instead.

Now those Aero Dark & Milk bars are something.

 I mostly remember Jono Coleman working with Kate Thornton when the VH-1 channel launched in the UK and the Kate and Jono show was on all the time

The excuse for the Luger documentary hold up is because they want the episode to go out after a PPV so there's more eyes on it. 

Just heard about Zelina returning. Why did they let her go in the first place just to bring her back in a few months later? They're so fucking weird

Channel 5 are booting their Raw highlight show over to the Paramount channel from July.  Just proves that no fucker is watching those either.

As if Hell in a Cell hadn't been neutered enough, we have now had one on Smackdown, a Hell in a Cell PPV and now one on Raw in the space of 4 days.

 

They're so lazy, they probably couldn't even be arsed to take the cell down on Monday morning.

I'm sure there was talk about Jake taking his place while Warrior was typically being a pain in the arse over contracts as usual.  I assume they got it sorted in time for Mania 12. 

That being said, Warrior's return in '96 was a fucking shambles.  I think the longest match he had was against Owen on Raw.

Buster (1988) (BBC 2)

Biopic of petty criminal Buster Edwards based around the events of the Great Train Robbery. Collins is surprisingly good in the lead role, but the film seems to fast-forward through events not really giving anything time to breathe. Still, decent though.  Look out for a young Steve McFadden, uncredited, as one of the gang.

Buster is a good film. Phil's not a bad actor.  I always remember when he turned up in an episode Miami Vice as a con man.

Seems like the only good thing about HIAC was knowing it was the last PPV to take place in that Thunderdome shite. 

And while they're hitting Greg, he'd probably still shout "you've only got 2 minutes" 

I know Rob Zombie has his fair share of haters, but I still enjoyed his Halloween remakes.

Also thought Scout Taylor Compton played the part of Laurie well.

Time

Fantastic gritty drama from Jimmy McGovern, probably his best work since Cracker in my opinion.  I had been waiting for this one ever since I heard it was being filmed. It didn't disappoint.

Also an outstanding performance from Sean Bean. 

The Pact was pretty good.  A whodunit with a few twists and turns along the way.

I forgot about the time difference for Vegas.  Looks like it will be a 6 hr show then

According to the poster for SummerSlam, the PPV will begin at 8 so I don't think it'll run longer than 4 hrs.  Can't see a PPV with a stadium full of fans go on until 1am their time.

Apparently the Manny Pacquiao fight will also take place in Vegas on the same night.

It's interesting that SummerSlam will take place in a stadium in Las Vegas with a potential 72,000 fans.  Another interesting point is that it's going to be a Saturday.

If we get Reigns V Cena, the card will look better than WrestleMania 37 with that match alone. 

Those numbers are shocking. I'd be surprised if USA Network splashes the cash to renew their deal once their contract is up. Their reruns of Modern Family will draw better than Raw currently does.

I'm surprised they have let Lana go. Sure she couldn't wrestle for shit, but she was still a popular character.  Plus I thought the shitehawks at WWE would get their kicks out of keeping her away from her hubby once they go back on the road.

They would've missed out on all of the entertainment had they opted to watch it on Disney + instead

I hope they don’t get damaged. 

It certainly doesn't deserve all the hype it's been getting on social media. It looked like the whole interview was butchered and made it seem like Courtney Cox had fuck all to say. 

The whole thing was padded out with various clips from the show.  I can only assume that they kept footage back for an upcoming release on Blu-ray etc.

I remember catching some of White House Farm when it was on Channel 4. Not even Stephen Graham could save it. I don’t think I even finished it. 
 

 

It was actually on ITV. I thought it was quite decent.

Speaking of Stephen Graham, he's about to star in a new prison drama with Sean Bean called Time. It's a 3 part series that begins on Sunday 6th June at 9pm on BBC One with all episodes dropping on the iPlayer afterwards.  I reckon it's gonna be worth a watch.

Also watched The Running Man again. Still 11/10 and I'm incredibly surprised they have never remade it.

I also watched this again last week. You can never tire of watching classic Arnie movies.  My only gripe with The Running Man was they could've gave Jesse more screen time.
