I honesty can't recall anyone saying it's a great match...

Body of Evidence Trashy Madonna vehicle. Erotic thriller in the mid-90s Basic Instinct vein. Madonna's so wooden she infects Willem Dafoe. Loads of stuff doesn't make sense and it's a slog sometimes even though it's not that long, but I do love a courtroom scene and there are a lot here. Genuinely mucky as well. Clan of the White Lotus Really fun Shaw Brothers kung fu madness. I found out afterwards this was a sequel and the beginning scene was from the last one, where the heroes vanquished the last enemy, who was played by the same guy and looks identical to the main bad guy in this one. So that cleared things up a bit. Shows how much I was enjoying the action that it didn't matter a jot that wasn't clear. 9 Deaths of the Ninja Strong Cannon film vibes from this one, though it's not a Cannon. It's has got one of the guys from American Ninja movies in it, Sho Kosugi. A bus loads of kids are kidnapped in the Philippines and our heroes attempt to rescue them. The bad guy in this is insane, like David Cross doing Dr Strangelove. A daft laugh. Green Room Watched this after the recommendations in the Patrick Stewart thread. Really tense with good performances across the board. Stewart is masterfully threatening. The facade of reasonability and the cold calculating ruthlessness were chilling. Bamboozled A frustrated black comedy writer decides to write a minstrel show in an effort to get fired from his job, instead the show becomes a huge hit. Sort of a cross between Network and The Producers, while shining a light on racism in movies and TV in the past and present. Not subtle at all, and all the better for it to be honest. It's not perfect, Damon Wayans as the writer is a little too broad I think, and isn't in same tone as everything else, and lots of it was shot on DV cameras which looks like shit, but it's really affecting overall.

I'll leave you to think about that Jazzy.

I'm not sure Pillman was ever getting back to fully fit. His leg was permo fucked I think.

There's nothing like Savage when he's into a feud for believable intensity. I genuinely thought he hated Jake the Snake with burning fire.

I love Tim Heidecker

Operation Avalanche Another movie by Matt Johnson of Nirvanna the Show the Band, about faking the moon landing. Shot in a faux gonzo documentary style, it does some clever stuff, has a really great car chase scene, and is occasionally funny. Ultimately though it's pretty slight and for a film about the CIA is aggressively Canadian. California Split A Robert Altman film I've not seen before. I didn't really know what to expect at first, I thought it might be a film about grifters or heists, but really it's a sort chilled hangout movie about a couple gamblers, Elliot Gould and George Segal. They form a friendship, sink into gambling addiction and go on a trip to Reno. And that's kind of it. It relies on the charm of the two leads, who are reliably funny and has some realistic things to say about addiction. Harlem Nights Eddie Murphy's first and last directed film. Richard Prior runs a gambling club in the 1930s with Eddie as his protégée, and they get involved with a corrupt detective and the Italian Mob. It's a little tonally all over the place, it's too long, and some of the comedy is too wacky to sit alongside some of the drama, but it's got some funny stuff in there, Della Reese and Red Foxx in supporting roles are fucking hilarious. After I watched this I come to find out that it's got an awful reputation, won a couple of Razzies (your reminder that the Razzies was run by complete cunts). I'm pretty staggered by that. It's no classic, but it's absolutely not an awful film.

I think I've only seen it early 90s adverts! I might grab a bottle.

He'll be at Palace before Xmas.

Is any cunt here watching WWE or gives a shit about it is mine. It used to be a massive complaint back in the day. EDIT: I'd say WWE's creative problems are much bigger that just "there's too many titles" which is maybe why it doesn't come up any more?

I wish we could stop with the whataboutary any time someone criticises another promotion. I think only Supremo still watches WWE these days? This was a thread about AEW specifically in the title. Do we have really have "bad faith arguments" on here?

Yeah I think that's the crux, the food isn't heated when it's out for sale, it's allowed to cool to an ambient temperature so it avoids the tax. If they kept it hot, they'd be liable. Or something. EDIT: Don't actually know if this is a thing. I'll stick to the thinking about What A Potato.

Rest in Pork I didn't know! Tell me What A Potato! is still there?!

Porky Blinders in Manchester is my favourite.
