Can’t remember who, but one reviewer called it the sound of cocaine or words to that effect and they were right. 

It was Q who said that. Who went on to give the album 5 out of 5. It wasnt so much the ratings or 9/10s themselves. It was more the dissection of the songs, as if people hadnt yet realised Noel Edmonds* wasnt simply going "we'll use that part of yellow submarine and Liam can yell over it as usual." The way the band itself was spoke about around that time, you'd think it was by KISS or something (a proper band.)

*I meant to say "Noel Gallagher" but fuck it, its better this way.

"(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" was so successful that after journalists rightly buried the fuck out of it for ripping off many popular songs (with only Stevie Wonder stepping in and making sure Step Out was not included because of how much it took from Uptight), that when the horrendously bloated Dad rock shit in a sock "Be Here Now" was released, every journo shit their pants and gave it raves. The most "I'm not getting on the wrong side of history this time" reviews ever.

They had catchy songs early on, but its all the same. They were in the right place post-Stone Roses and pre-New Labour during the cultural shift of "Cool Britannia" (vomit). You simply couldnt make a career out of any track post the second album, which was all retreads anyway. Also Noel Gallagher looks a toy you'd get from the market that you'd try and take back but the store wasnt there the next day.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (cinema)

Harmless and mostly fun aside from the last 15 minutes which are just depressingly unnecessary.

The formula has always been "ghosts, ghosts, ghosts" and then "last 15 minutes, Bill Murray gets a shag somehow." There's no crying in Ghostbuster land.

In the directors cut, I thought Apollo gave way to many cheep shots to our friend from Russia in the extended press conference. Add that to the whole "USA USA rar-rar foreign scum" bullshit was uncalled for. He poked the bear, and got what he deserved. I doubt he meant to kill him. Look at Rocky III. Rocky got shot on by Thunderlips. The same thing could have easily happened to him, if Thunderlips grabbed a hold or went for the eye, like Ole Anderson would have done. But Drago continue the beating because there was no stoppage and the towel wasnt thrown in.

Basically, dont blame Drago. He did his job, Jeff. Balboa was at fault.

I'm thankful for the Warrior's biceps looking like a stressed out Phil and Grant.

Billy Gunn really should have went into acting for the amount of shit they've asked him to do and he's simply went along with it not caring who it offends. He's blacked up, he's do a gay wedding angle which resulted in GLAAD supporting them, only to end up with a gay bashing "we arent gay!" pay off. He'll do anything he's asked, I'll give him that.

I mean, it kind of runs in the family...

What's amazing about that is, unlike a show like Harry Enfield where he's the man in charge writing the shit and they have final say or Little Britain where Walliams and Lucas planned it for months and are executive producers and the power men went on air and did it, in wrestler when someone blacks up there's about 12 agents, half a dozen writers, a producer, a owner, 50 wrestlers and countless other stooges, as well as the perfomer himself to say "we probably shouldnt", yet they still did it. The blame goes on everybody for letting that shit on air.

He said the n-word a couple of times on twitter when he was 17. Soft "a." Not the full Hulkster.

The last act of Ghostbusters broke me and I'm a cynical old husk of a man. Not a perfect film by any streach but a lovely popcorn movie with nostalgia done right. 

According to the likes of Mark Kermode and RedLetterMedia, you're a man child who shouldnt have an opinion. You and the other 96% of the audience who gave it a positive approval rating.

Big E's Seinfeld gear was class.

Deliverance (1972)

An idyllic canoe trip out in the wilderness turns into a nightmare for four City workers when they come across a couple of hillbilly mountain men. It’s all rather serene until they meet the men but what follows is shocking, and it’s then a tense, gripping ride for the rest of the film.

As Ned Beatty told his agent.

Correct. 

 

What's the gist? I'm not on social media so can't get on it. 

Basically said Walk Like A Panther was shite, and Smart said "I had 5% in that."

Grado got himself into a right state on his podcast talking to Gordon Smart about Walk Like a Panther.

Fucking hell fire, that card man. Its post-pandemic, just before Christmas, money isnt something you give away lightly, so if more that 4 people end up buying this, I'll wank into a sock and eat it on Christmas day.

Its weird with John Morrison. He looks like an absolute star. Puts so much money into his gear and can have really good matches. But he's as interesting as Harry Smith, and doesnt ever seen to get above that level. He's handy to have around though. Reckon he'd be a great addition to AEW, in that "we know him!" division they seem to be putting together.

I think it was Ken Patera's shoot interview where he said Flair would walk into a crowded house in front of men and women and start fucking a loaf of bread. He's a fucking strange one. Always has been.

I'm having Flair in 2022s death pool, so you can all go fuck yourselves.

The second series of Tiger King is up, and its canny. I cried laughing when they set up a hotline for information on Don Lewis whereabouts and someone called and simply said: "That man didnt go missing in a plane overseas, he went missing in a cage with a lion and turned into cat shit." The funniest fucking thing in either season.

Theres the worldwide top 100+ Heavyweight rankings from July 2006. Lets say we give Undertaker a year of top class training. How far down before you start giving him a chance ?

I mean, he's a skinny basketball player when you take him off steroids. And that is without the fact his knees, hips and groin were so shot in in 1999 he considered retirement. I think at that form you have to put him against Eric Crumble in his first fight.

Except he didnt though did he? Macho bullshit from an old idiot. He'd really have been a deadman for those heavyweights at the time.

I’m sure he showed Billionaire Tone some texts and he was alright with it. 

Don Callis was in the main event managing the champion. A man who left his post as Impact head because of ALLEGED sexual harrassment towards a recently released WWE female, who was there at the time. They obviously dont give a fuck, sadly.

You know, take away the Invasion thing, and its probably not much difference. Austin only worked with WWF regulars anyway. Undertaker, Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Rock etc. At the top of the card they could have just done the same stuff.

I suppose the only change you have is maybe K-Kwick would have done a bit better had the midcard not been crowded.

Judy Bagwell died. Buff Daddy's Mommy. Once shaved his bollocks when his neck was bad and he couldnt reach. A wonderful mother and former WCW tag team champion. RIP Queen.

The fact Triple H is still not doing anything with WWE two months after this surgery feels like a big, big deal. Not surprising mind, most normal people wouldn't be back to work yet either, but these people are lunatics and it's their 24/7 so normal doesn't apply. Maybe it's nothing and he just lost his U2 CD, but the complete inactivity, radio silence and Meltzer treating the subject of Levesque with the lightest of kid gloves on the F4W board makes me think he's in really rough shape.

Everyone from Vince McMahon to Ric Flair's 6th wife has a photo from the hospital bed with the words "get well, love you loads xxx" or some shit on the WWE account. They love that "on the comeback trail!" bollocks. Yet no Hunter photos. Some proper Prince Phillip vibes going on it looks like.

RIP soldier
