  1. I am just refering to the movies that have been mentioned that are pretty much universally adored , like the ones I mentioned already . I saw M&C at the theater , thought it was pretty good . Too bad it flopped , cuz isnt there like 13 books or something in the M&C series that they were thinking about making in films ? Anyway , if this thread has turned into the 80s movies you loved thread , I put my vote in for The Sword & The Sorcerer .
  2. it kind of went off into what movies you remember loving from the 80s? maybe? The topic is still movies you like, but you get flack for liking them. A lot of the 80's movies kinda fit that category. There are some 80's flicks I have yet to see. Legend is one of them. Still not buying it , has anyone ever REALLY gotten flack for liking The Thing , Donnie Darko , The Mad Max films , The Evil Dead Trilogy or Ed Wood ?
  3. Er , wasnt this topic supposed to be "movies that everyone hates , except you" ? Therefore , I dont think a lot of these films mentioned would really qualify for "cult classic" status . Some of these are in the IMDB top #250 , hardly movies that nobody else likes ..........just sayin'
  4. Dragon Gate USA launches into PPV By "Bloodthirsty" BOB KAPUR - SLAM! Wrestling Photo Gallery from the Dragon Gate USA debut When booker-extraordinaire Gabe Sapolsky announced the launch of Dragon Gate USA earlier this year, many a wrestling fan were excited about the idea of blending Japanese superstars with some of North America’s finest in-ring talents. This weekend, those fans can see the idea become reality, as the company presents its first pay-per-view show and also a big live event in Chicago. The "Enter the Dragon" pay-per-view debuts this Friday, September 4 on multiple providers including Viewers Choice and Bell ExpresVU in Canada. Taped in July at the famed Arena in Philadelphia, the show has been called by some wrestling experts as one of the greatest ever. The show earned high praise the Pro Wrestling Torch, which raved "Every match is like opening up a great present on Christmas morning ... there’s just not a bad match on the card." Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer was equally complimentary: "If you like to watch two hours of not good, but great to incredible wrestling, then you will love this show. There are no match of the years here, but from start-to-finish, this is as good a wrestling PPV show as there has been." Those matches include Japanese stars BXB Hulk vs YAMATO, an 8-man tag match featuring the stars of CHIKARA Pro Wrestling, and a main event pitting Naruki Doi, the current Open the Dream Gate Champion (Dragon Gate Japan’s top title) against Shingo. While these may not necessarily be household names, that shouldn’t dissuade wrestling fans from ordering the show, as noted wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez of the Figure Four Weekly newsletter attested in his review of the show. "(Even if you’re) a Dragon Gate newbie," Alvarez wrote, "you’ll probably watch this and find it to be the best PPV you’ve seen in years. And if you’re a hardcore Dragon Gate fan, you may very well find it even better. It may legitimately be the best wrestling show top to bottom in history." Not surprisingly, Sapolsky, Vice President of DG USA, echoed those sentiments. "I firmly believe that no one has ever put two hours of wrestling like this on North American TV before," he told SLAM! Wrestling via email just days before the PPV debut. "Dragon Gate USA offers a wrestling style that has never been seen before on pay-per-view. It's something you just have to see." Sapolsky is confident that watching the first show will impress viewers enough that they’ll continue to follow the promotion throughout the year. With only six shows scheduled for the year, and relatively inexpensive pay-per-views ("Enter the Dragon" costs only $19.99 on Viewers Choice Canada), fans can see all of the action without breaking the bank. "We will be a very easy and affordable product to follow," he stressed. Sapolsky estimates that a fan could enjoy everything that DG USA has to offer for only about $150 a year. Through buying each event on PPV or on DVD, or even attending a live event -- such as the one coming up this Sunday at the Congress Theatre in Chicago -- Sapolky says a fan could "get a couple of great nights out, and see every match, angle, and storyline twist storyline twist over the course of an entire year. I don't think any form of entertainment can say that." The Chicago show, which is also being taped for a future PPV event, continues the trend started with "Enter the Dragon." Sapolsky boasts that the company’s style is based on athleticism, innovation and charismatic wrestlers, and the lineup for Sunday certainly conveys that on paper. Featured matches include recent WWE departee Brian Kendrick against CIMA -- who fans were dazzled by when he appeared on some shows for Ring of Honor in the past couple of years, ROH’s Davey Richards versus Shingo in what should be a hard-hitting battle, CHIKARA’s Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw against YAMATO and Gran Akuma, and Naruki Doi taking on "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson in one of his last appearances before heading to WWE. In addition, WWE Hall of Famers Jerry "the King" Lawler and Jim Ross will be there for a special autograph appearance. The mixture of stars from various companies is something that Sapolsky hopes will be seen as a signature for DG USA. "We aren’t trying to replicate what Dragon Gate is in Japan," he emphasized. "Dragon Gate USA is its own company, and we need American stars (at our shows) for the fans here. Bringing only the best talent means drawing from all pools."
  5. Well they changed the card up a bit , no big deal . The arena was full & the crowd was hot all night . All in all a pretty fun show : Evan Bourne def. Chavo Guerrero w/ the shooting star press (Hornswoggle got involved too) Primo def. Alex Riley w/ a reverse flying body press off the top rope Chris Masters def. Santino Marella w/ the Masterlock Mickie James, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly def. Beth Phoenix, Rosa and Alicia Fox after Mickie gave Rosa a spin-kick Fatal four-way for the United States Championship : Kofi Kingston retained over Jack Swagger , Carlito , & The Miz when he pinned Carlito after a flying kick The Big Show pinned Mark Henry after a choke slam Triple H & John Cena beat Legacy after Cena gave the FU to Rhodes
  6. Although I swore off going to WWE live events after 'Mania 23 , I gave in & got tickets to this ...... mainly due to liking the venue (cheap beer , food, small arena , nearby , etc. ) I'll post thoughts/results later : WWE Raw Live When: 7:30 p.m., Saturday Where: Perani Arena *Event Card Michigan Street Fight "The Game" Triple H vs. The Big Show Raw Challenge Match John Cena vs. "The All-American, American" Jack Swagger United States Championship match Kofi Kingston (champion) vs. The Miz Raw Six Diva Tag Team Match Mickie James, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Rosa and Alicia Fox Santino Marella vs. Chavo Guerrero Evan Bourne vs. Carlito "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters Primo vs. Alex Riley
  7. Finally got around to seeing this : AMAZING MOVIE !!!!! Amazing that someone would actually cast that dullard as Duke ! Amazing-ly atrocious acting ! Amazing that they were able to cram just about EVERY possible movie cliche into a nearly two hour film ! Amazing that the director thought that cheesy flashbacks can double as character development ! Amazing that I was dumb enough to believe that it would be any different ! So amazing that I had to go see Inglorious Basterds immediately after witnessing this POS to help me remember what truly talented filmmaking can accomplish .
  8. Oh yeah VH , Humanoids From The Deep is awesome ! Count me in the extinct clan too then , because I own Flash Gordon on DVD. Here are some of mine : Night of the Lepus Cabin Boy I Like To Hurt People War of the Gargantuas Monsturd Meet the Feebles Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Six String Samurai Jesus Christ:Vampire Hunter And I have to plug Retar-Dead (its really one word but will edit me) also , since I am in it (for a whole 15 seconds)
  9. Who did CM Punk beat to win the ROH World Title ?
  10. Alright before the wwe company was none as wwf what was there name also where are the global headquarters based in WWWF , World Wide Wrestling Federation & Stamford , Connecticut .
  11. 'Twas definitely the highlight of the night .
  12. BTW , it has now dropped to 62% on RT ....... getting dangerously close to the dreaded green tomato .
  13. I'll probably see it Sunday morning . I was going to wait til the DVD , but some of these positive reviews have me damn curious about it now . My prediction for opening weekend is around $26,000,000. Edit: I just noticed that my local drive-in is gonna have a G.I. Joe & Transformers 2 (which I havent seen either) double feature , so I might check that out Fri. or Sat. night instead .
  14. I havent seen it yet , so I was wondering if this "Dr. Ken" guy managed to be entertaining and/or humorous in that movie in any way, shape , or form ? I am curious because he seems to be the polar oposite of either of those tonight on RAW . Almost as if hes a human black hole sucking all humor/entertainment out of the arena or off of my TV screen . Again , just wondering is all ? @firedevil@
  15. Lets wipe the slate clean again : Who are the current WWE unified tag-team champions ?
  16. Any sort of push Brian was getting ceased almost to the day the pot smoking story broke. Even if he had no intention of stopping , he shouldnt have told the Fed that he refused to quit the reefer , IMO . Oh well , welcome to the X Division Spanky .
  17. You say that, but I would have to disagree with you there 100%. I could see Vince using this situation to his advantage for the sheer shock value. Anyone remember the last time JJ showed up in WWE? He was coming off of just being let go by WCW and had a WCW wrestler's former wife by his side, Ms. Debra. Not only could Jeff show up with Karen at his side, but he would also be showing up as the public face of the competition and could come out and say that TNA wasn't where the big boys play, and that he would rather be a small fish in a big pond than be a big fish in a small pond like TNA. Obviously, my script writing abilities aren't the best, but you get the idea. Vince could use this. I think it would be up to JJ as to whether or not he would want to do that to TNA. Only problem with that scenario is TNA is barely even a blip on Vinces radar , so why bother giving them any sort of free plug ?
  18. Go : MVP , Kane (has been going through the motions for years now) , writers that dont know thing 1 about pro wrestling Bring back : PRO WRESTLING
  19. Mid-late 80s for me . If you looked on cable hard enough you could watch just about every territory there was at the time . Plus the NWA & Mid-South/UWF just outright kicked ass . After that I would have to say the mid 90s during the first few years of Nitro & the Monday night wars .
  20. PleasefireRussopleasefireRussopleasefireRussopleasefireRussopleasefireRussopleas efireRusso............ Wouldnt be upset to see Borash & West go too .
  21. From ROHwrestling.com : For years now in the United States, Monday night has been considered THE night for professional wrestling, and Ring of Honor is now poised to continue that tradition. Together, ROH and HDNet are very happy to announce that effective Monday, August 17th, the acclaimed ‘Ring of Honor on HDNet’ will now air each and every Monday night at 8pm EST! With this transition to a prime time slot, ROH is now in a position to kick off your Monday night wrestling viewing with a humongous bang, as we bring you what we believe is pound-for-pound the BEST wrestling program on television today. This move places ROH on HDNet in a position to gain more viewership, particularly among fans that are already accustomed to watching on that night. And for those fans that are unable to view the program at 8pm EST, HDNet is going to replay all of the action again at 11pm EST! Please join ROH on August 17th as we make the jump to Monday night, and if you can’t watch HDNet in your area, now is the time to contact your local cable provider and let them know that you want your ‘Ring of Honor Wrestling on HDNet’ – COMING TO MONDAY NGHTS STARTING AUGUST 17!
