  1. I wouldn't be surprised if Harper and Rowan weren't being put back together to form some kind of alliance with The Fiend. So that they can work as a form of weekly live tv presence for The Fiend without Wyatt himself overly exposing himself.

    Cos his character doesn't really have any long term potential. It's been great thus far but but it's like horror movie teasing a monster throughout, only revealing him toward the end (Balor) do some big nasty shit (beat Seth for title) then end credits when they've nothing else left for him to do.

    Maybe Rowan and Harper together can keep him off screen enough before Mania so he doesn't go completely stale and further a storyline against face Bryan for the big belt then.

    But either way I think The Fiend only ever had short term potential and the fans are going to shit over the wwe for their mishandling of a character that never could have a long term life span given the history of Bray Wyatt. If he was brand new like Kane at baad blood then yea, you could book him as monster killer that doesn't go longer than 5 minute matches. But history kills that.

    He doesn't have 5 star matches in his locker to keep the good will going and I'd imagine The Fiend would be more of a few word or even silent promo so wouldn't hang too much on that and I'm not sure whatever he does in the fun house is strong enough to carry it.

    Anyways I wanna be wrong, but can't see interest being held after putting him the ring a few times. Hoping something like a Harper/Rowan alliance can give him more time off screen.

  2. Yeah, I know I should never tell her what to do. Though I get the feeling she really wants to quit but won't do so unless I push her into it. Because of the guilt she feels over our money woes. So I might have to be a dick to get her to do what she really wants to do. But she's a woman so how do I really know what she's thinking. 

  3. Okay, well recently I've gotten married to a Nigerian girl and with marrying a lass from outside the EU extra financial complications come with applying for spouse visas and all that that entails. Anyways, because of her current visa status as that of a student there's constrictions of the amount of hours she can work which has meant it's been hard for her to get a job, leaving most of the financial responsibility to me. Which i don't mind but she gets the guilts about it. Particularly since there's also been debts which we've had to pay for members of her family. 

     

    Soooo, she's just started a new part-time job within the care industry that I know she hates and is counting the days til it's over. Well today she started at place with sparse staffing levels looking after some big blokes with histories of violence, and at least 2 of them on the sex offenders act. Then I googled stuff telling me that a fairly high percentage of those in care get abused either physically or verbally every year. I know i shouldn't have done that.

     

    The liberal in me tells me one thing but the husband another. Am i allowed to tell her to quit that place or does that automatically make me into a dick? For feeling like telling her what to do and taking away the means of her relinquishing some of her guilt. And for having these levels of distrust for the people in her care. But, you know, she's my wife, and how can you not worry?

  4. When we got to the top 3 I assumed Fight Club and Shawshank were still coming, and that one of them would top the list.....but I have absolutely no idea what the other one's going to be. A lot of people seem to think Rocky but I definitely think that one would split the votes too much between the original, 3 and 4. I'm hoping for a comedy but like I said before I think comedy is too subjective to get enough people voting for the same one. I think all of my top 5 have appeared now though so I'm pretty happy with that. My predictions for number 1 are either Scarface, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Anchorman or Monty Python's Life of Brian.

     

    I would've thought Oldboy. Oldboy's the nerds film of choice and as it hasn't made the list so far I'd be amazed if it didn't turn up anywhere. Unless it is on the list and I've missed it - then oops.

  5. Can anyone think of any decent quality films that are similar to Punch Drunk Love, Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

     

    Inspired by the question I watched Lost in Translation the other night as I'd gathered it was like a lot to the movies I usually go for. You'd think as at it sounded my sort of thing I would've watched a lot earlier but I had a sixth sense telling me it wouldn't be that good. It was right. The point of isolation was continually laboured throughout the film, getting the way of the relationship between the two main characters, whose interaction and dialogue seemed minimal. As though the writer had an idea of what type of film they were trying to make but didn't have enough conversation to execute it. For me exemplified by the ending which I gather a lot of people find gloriously enigmatic, but for me just another sign that they couldn't come up with anything interesting.

     

    Much superior films of the genre are Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, In Search of a Midnight Kiss and Garden State. Before Sunset is as close to perfection as you'll get and a note on Garden State - it needs Natalie Portman to turn uo before it gets any good. Although Jim Parsons makes an appearance, which is nice.

  6. In my view in life there are scumbags who will latch on to anything that can offer any sort of semblance of justification to acting in an represible way and it doesn't really matter if they have particularly strong views o the subject or not. Whether it be in the past racism, anti-semitism or homophobia which hasn't completely gone away but there's been enough of an education beat down that the utterance of a nigger, yid, queer would shame even the dullest of dullards if they were caught saying it. But the interminable theological debate of whether a god does or doesn't exist makes it very difficult to completely undermine any religious based tomfoolery so it's hard to extricate the scumbags from their bastardized ideas of religious morality. I also feel that it doesn't help that a great deal of Old Firm fans who aren't what you'd call the ultimate scumbags that we're talking about still indulge in bigotry based baiting of one another because whether it be on a latent or subconcious level know that the size of the clubs they love have a sybiotic relationship with the Troubles along with all things related. And a complete parting of the ways could lead to the breaking down of the hugeness of the two clubs, because without it there's really not a lot of reason for them to be bigger than a Hearts or Hibs.

  7. Only the lordy knows if this counts but I consider there to be one moment that encapsulates everything I love about wrestling. I believe it's a promo for bad blood between the Undertaker and HBK, when HBK comes down in a pair of tight pants and starts jumping up and down doing the crotch chop thing right in front of JR. JR then gets annoyed and says something like "you got my attention" followed by the money shot, when HBK just turns his head to the side of the ring where the camera is and just grins with sunglasses on like some kind of arrogant sophomoric idiot. For me all the IF YA SMELLS, great promos and acting can't compare with actually being what you say you are.

     

    If you're playing a cunt and you are a cunt, you cannae beat it.

  8. So if I ask you to tell me if a film is average, good, great you have to check the box office receipts before you are able to give me an answer?Well at least thats cleared something up for me, all this time I though Titanic was a drizzling piece of shit but apparently it is in fact the greatest film ever made. No arguments or debates required.

    Hey look, this guy gets it!
    C'mon, he's not saying if lots of people go to see a film that it makes it a great film. He's saying if lots of people go to see a film and come away saying it's a great film, then it's a great film. And that's how you judge how great a film is, by the audience response, whether 100 million see it or a hundred. Although you should let the honeymoon period cool over and make sure the consensus is the same in a few years before making a concrete determination.
  9. Le diner de cons.Was flicking through the channels a few months back and came across this. It's a French comedy about a group of friends who every few weeks have a dinner party where they have to invite the biggest idiot they can find to generally take the piss out of. Anyway, before one of the parties one of the group splits up with his wife and then does his back in, she runs off and he is unable to follow. Then the idiot arrives to go to the party and gets embroiled in the guys efforts to win back his wife. Then the comedy begins with a mix of misunderstandings and very good phone oriented jokes. If you like Frasier or to a lesser extent Curb your Enthusiasm, it could be for you.
