    DVD's and Films You Have Watched Recently

    in Off-Topic Gold

    Posted · Edited by Gossy

    I watched Slither today. Imagine getting Night Of The Living Dead, The Thing and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers and throwing them in a blender. The result is Slither. It's hardly the most original of movies but it's great fucking fun. A real blast to watch as it doesn't take itself too seriously, there's both laughs and scares and it has Nathan Fillion in it and he is probably the most likeable actor around today.

    Really liked this film as well, saw it in the cinema last year and was pleasantly surprised.Saw 300 today, I really had no idea about the comic-book or anything so I went into see it with no expectations and it was alright. I mean, I can't ever see a point in time where i'd want to watch it again, but it certainly wasn't an unenjoyable film. Story wasn't up to much, but this film was all about the visual effects and they were glorious. I especially loved the first battle sequence with the slowed-down attacks where you could clearly see the droplets of blood fly. I think this is certainly a film you have to see in the cinema, as i'm sure it would lose a lot of it's grandeur on a smaller screen.If you don't mind a film, that is light on story and heavy on gore and FX, then I recommend this to you.

    Last week, I also watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

     

    Ugh, I hated this film so much, about 5 mins in they just gave up explaining (that's being kind) Leatherface and just did another shitty TCM remake. The funniest part was them trying to remake the dinner sequence which is fucking incredible in the original film and they failed in virtually every way. Then they did a chase sequence at the end in almost the exact same way that the did in the first remake. Pile of unoriginal crap, it only bugs me so, because I adore the original TCM and believe it to be one of the greatest horror films of all time. Even though there's only a few year between this and the remake R. Lee Ermy seemed to look ten years older, that didn't help the prequel part much.

    The UKFF [Nearly-Official] Questions Thread

    After watching "Jive Soul Bro" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-rMxydtXisJust wondering where the WWF picked Slick up from? What circuits was he working for before the WWF?Thank you.

    My memory is patchy apart from him working CSW and he and Reed losing a 'Loser leaves town' match to Brody. So here's info from wikipedia...

    At the start of his career, Johnson did a stint in Texas All-Star Wrestling, managing Madd Maxx and Lord Humongus. He left TASW for Kansas City's Central States Wrestling to become "The Doctor of Style", Slick, characterized by his smooth attitude, confident speech and dancing as he accompanied his wrestlers to the ring; among the wrestlers he managed in Central States were Art Crews, Timothy Flowers, Bobby Jaggers, "Bulldog" Bob Brown and Butch Reed. Slick and his stable feuded with Kansas City mainstay Rufus R. Jones and other fan favorites before he and Reed were forced out of the territory after dropping a "Loser Leaves Town" match to Bruiser Brody.

    Great Wrestling Promo Transcripts

    Really great thread guys, I apoligise for being really vague but does anyone remember the promo from Joey Styles, probably on Raw where he was standing on the top of the entrance way doing a worked shoot type thing. I just remember thinking it was cool, anyone got any idea what i'm on about?cheers,

    It was leading up to One Night Stand 2, when Styles slapped Lawler, got shoved and "quit" RAW in a fantastic angle.

    "You want to apologize? Like nothing happened. Like you didn't knock me on my ass in front of millions of people worldwide, and I'm gonna come down there and work with you. I'm not coming back, and now thanks to the magic of live television I'm gonna show the whole world, why for seven years in ECW I was the unscripted, uncensored, loose cannon of commentary. Six months ago, WWE called me, I didn't call this company because I was looking for a job. I didn't need a job. WWE called me because they had humiliated and fired...again, Jim Ross. So I get JR's spot, and from week one, week after week I've got an ongoing lecture about the differences in professional wrestling and sports entertainment. I'm not allowed to say 'pro wrestling', I'm not allowed to say 'wrestler'. I have to say 'sports entertainment' and refer to the wrestlers as 'superstars'. I'm told to deliberant ignore the moves and the holds during the matches so I can tell stories. Well ignoring the moves and the holds is damn insulting to the athletes, the 'wrestlers', not the entertainers who leave their families three hundred days a year to ply their craft in that ring. Here's the best part, because I'm not a sports entertainment storyteller I get pulled from Wrestlemania, and the reason I'm given is, is because I don't sound like Jim Ross who's the guy they fired in the first place. That makes sense, right? So I swallow the bitter pill, I'm a company guy. I get bumped from Wrestlemania. Then I get bumped from Backlash? I'm not good enough to call Backlash!? In ECW, I called live pay-per-views on my own, solo, no color commentators dragging me down. Wasn't done before me, hasn't been done since. But I'm not good enough to call Backlash because I'm not a sports entertainment storyteller. Well you know what? I am sick of sports entertainment. I am sick of male cheerleaders. I am sick of boogers and bathroom humor and semen and I am sick of our chairman. Who likes to talk about his own semen, he mocks God... he mocks God!!!!! And makes out with the divas all to feed his own insatiable ego. I am sick of sports entertainment, and most of all I am sick of you fans who actually buy into that crap! This sports entertainment circus! I neverneeded this job, and I don't want this job anymore."[At this point Joey pulls the WWE collar off the microphone and tosses it away.]"I quit!"

    :thumbsup: I love seeing all those old Sky openings, it's like being 8 years old again :laugh:

    Indeed. I'm still all nostalgic.Here's a rather weird find, 'The Greatest Intercontinental Champion Of All Time' The Honky Tonk Man sings 'Cool, Cocky, Bad' then Dusty Rhodes sings 'Dusty B. Goode'!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s2EqGUKXagThe large woman inappropriately screaming "EVERYBODY HERE COMES TOO COLD SCORPIO!" has filled me with glee since the moment I first saw it, some fourteen years ago.

    Intro of Wrestling Challenge from 1992. :love: :love:

    Not really wrestling related, but God, it's so awesome hearing these again. For us old folk that were watching WWF on SKY in the very early 90's, this'll bring back some memories...

    - When this first came out, it really seemed like the most exciting thing in the world. Two of them?!

     

    And of course where could you watch the WWF PPV's back then?

     

    - :love: :love: :love:

     

    Really shows how shit and umemorable, the intro's are today. Can't imagine ten year old WWE fans reminiscing about the current graphics, fifteen years on.

     

    While i'm at it, here's Mr.Perfect turning face on Prime Time Wrestling back in Oct/Nov 1992. Everybody's just incredible here, expertly written. Sadly, it's all out of synch though :(

    Vince McMahon, Bruno Sammartino, 'SuperStar' Billy Graham, Barry Orton, Dave Meltzer ("That's not a hair-do that's a hair-don't!") and more on the Phil Donahue show back in 1992 talking the talk about the sex & steroids scandal. I'd never actually seen this and while i'm a sure a lot of you may have, some of you may have not (thanks to Mr. Dave Miller for pointing this out to me!). Apologies if this has already been posted on this thread.

    Hopefully it's not true. His matches with Spike Dudley & Masato Tanaka were very entertaining. Shame Russo got hold of him in WCW.With the age so many wrestlers are dying, are they considered an OAP in Pro Wrestling terms if they reach 45?
