The use of the word "woke" in his video titles is all the reason I'll ever need to never want to see it on my board.

And that's kinda why your board is no longer as popular as it once was... kinda like Star Wars.

I'm sure a lot of posters here will come up with all sorts of reasons to never want to listen to this guy (let alone read my own posts). But he brings up a lot of good points

[Get this shit off of my board - The Guy Who Pays For This Place]

At the very least, it's poetic justice for Vince to be above Dana. For as much trash talking as those blind UFC loyalists have done to the WWE for all these years (and wrestling in general), they deserve to have to work side-by-side and under pro wrestling execs. "Fake fighting" "Clown shows" "stupid entertainment"... All those meat head MMA-losers who can't respect wrestling as a long time legit form of entertainment THAT UFC OWES ITS POPULARITY TO can go suck a juicy one, lol

Not too sure about the name, but Goddam Genndy animation always looks amazing

Good. Let Disney see how being sued by these idiots isn't a big deal, and let them get rid of Feige, Kennedy, Iger, and anyone else that's been keeping Disney in a nose dive since D+ started.

Good thing he was cancelled, right?

Whelp...

Eventually The Oscars are going to move to some streaming platform as an "exclusive show" that you'll be missing out on if you aren't a subscriber. And what a glorious day that will be when soapbox millionaires get on stage to preach to an even smaller audience than they'd ever admit to, lol

Ricou Browning, the Gill-Man in ‘Creature From the Black Lagoon,’ Dies at 93

He spent a lot of time in the water during his career, also working on 'Flipper,' 'Sea Hunt,' 'Thunderball' and 'Caddyshack.'

I was kinda surprised to read this. Cuz when I think of the Universal Monster movies, it's always felt like a distant era of film making that had no ties to anything in my lifetime, let alone my parents lifetime. Rip to the man, and a final rip in peace to a fantastic era in cinema history.

If he's gonna do a project that just skims 'True Lies', why not put a sword in his hand and a crown on his head and skim something 'King Conan'-ish?

Yea, every thread about this Sony model that I've read on the net always has multiple people saying that the Panasonic model is the way to go. But dam, $400-$1400 (depending on the model) is not an immediate amount of cash I have access to atm =/ And I think I read something where people were saying that the Sony models all have Atmos or HDR10, or something, that other models don't have... At least my Sony can still watch sub 2hr 4k movies without problems for now. But it's a dam sucky feeling to watch a movie and worry that it's gonna randomly freeze the longer it goes, lol

I was watching my Blade Runner 2049 4k disc, and it froze on me. So, I re-bought it for whatever $30 it current goes for. But then I was watching Everything, Everywhere(...) on 4k, and that froze on me. So, I checked out a Google search and it turns out I have a crappy 4k player (Sony UBP 700) that's known to overheat and crash during long movie playbacks. But then, it's also known to be so sensitive that a tiny hair or fingerprint can also cause these catastrophic crashes, so no one's even sure what the problem with this brand is. So, not only did I spend $30 on a replacement disc for a movie that probably wasn't broken in the first place, but now I've gotta find a different 4k player that I can get modded to be region free.. F'n Sony...

I think Spork's last comment about Roman not looking like a dominant champion who wins cleanly anymore comes in to play at Wrestlemania, and you need to do an ultimate feel good match in a triple threat that finally makes Roman look like the monster he should be. So, you get Cody and Sami both working together and fighting a superior Roman where it takes them focusing only on him to finally take down the 900+ day champion. And you end it where both Sami and Cody pin Roman at the same time so both of them get to keep a belt for themselves. It's not a 2-on-1 match, per se. But it's a 3-way match where the two of them know they can only beat Roman if they work together.

Think of, like, Qui Gon and Obi taking down Maul. Or the two brothers fighting "the dog" in The Raid. Or even Mel Gibson and Danny Glover taking down Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4. Just make it a match where the villain is so dominant that it takes both heroes to take him down.

Yea, Sammi/KO going for the tag titles was the plan for about 6 months now.

That's why the WWE going through with it now is so boring - especially with Sami being so hot, atm.

But you know, idiot fans like RemarkableRiots want this kind of crap...

It's still stupid "What Would Vince Do?" booking. WWE still can't recognize who's white hot, still can't figure out how to adjust their plans on the fly, and still won't give fans what they want over what the WWE thinks fans want. It's just a mess with no creativity. Sami and Owens going up against the Uso's at Wrestlemania is so predictably boring and dumb that it's almost like Vince IS still at the creative helm of things...

There are two titles around Roman's waist, and Sami not going after one of them at Wrestlemania makes 0 sense.

Back when this board wasn't so toxic, we had a few threads with some fun concepts where people were posting all sorts of songs. But then a few sour patch kids came in complaining about the music, and the board kinda died out... It's too bad, really.

Thank God. I might've turned white if I saw them, and that's just too racist.

Whole not a fan of the 3rd, the first two are solid. Hows that collection look and sound and how are the extras?

I'm not an audiophile guy in the slightest (let alone anyone who can review movies for their disc merits). But I will say that the picture looks great compared to the Shout! release, and the discs are simple for idiots like me who just like to pop in a movie and play it without any fuss (I doubt any of this helps you, lol). I haven't gone through any extras, but I've read that everything included in this first movie is stuff that Shout! already had in theirs. Still, Shout! only had the first movie, and with Kino you'd be getting all three in one set for ~$40 - which is not a bad purchase in the slightest.

And in 4 years time, he'll announce his "Spinal Injuries Suck Tour"

I got the Missing in Action Trilogy last week from Kino... That's been a fun watch.

"Guilty until proven innocent" is bad enough. But today's media really pushes the "guilty, and I hope you burn in hell" edict a bit too much for my tastes =/ For R&M, if all people think that Roiland does is provide a couple of voices, well then, so long R&M - it was fun while it lasted...

Okay visuals. Lame song. I'm still hopeful it'll turn out to be a good series, though.

I appreciate your list @IdeaOfEvilbut the one thing that sticks out is your take on Midnight Meat Train being awful (!!!???) ... I'd love to hear you talk more in depth about what you didn't appreciate about that film?

To be fair, I'm generalizing my categories here. I only referred back to my Letterboxd ratings for this 2022 placement list, and this film just fell below my 2-star cut off that puts it in the 'awful category' and not in the 'whatever' category. But I honestly didn't enjoy this movie to the point that I can't really remember it these many months later. Thankfully, though, I always use Letterboxd to keep a record of my immediate thoughts on the films I watch at any given time, and this is what I wrote about it when I saw back it in April:

Clive Barker is the only reason why I gave this a chance. And while he had an okay idea here, there just wasn't much plot to invest in. A guy takes a lot of photo's, he suspects someone of foul deeds, he follows said guy around, and then we get a ho-hum ending that falls flat. The actors all did their roles fine enough, I guess, and the main villain stood out just because he was an enjoyable "strong/silent type" of figure akin to any other grotesque bad guy that wears a clean business suit. But the movie overall looks cheap and awful, with the back-and-forth combination of using practical effects (blood, body parts, etc) and cg effects (blood, body parts, etc) doing the film no favors at all in the end. And while I can at least (maybe) give this movie a point for not using any cheap "jump scares" to make up for its lack of suspense or actual horror - which would have annoyed the living piss out of me all throughout it's run time if it did - it still gets docked a point for not providing anything else to evoke an emotional response outta me. Frankly, this movie was boring. There's blood. There's gore. But without any actual creative reason to have them on screen, who cares?

 

Overall, the story came off as a "what if?" scenario that focused on one premise on a train while the rest of the script did a lousy job of padding out a bunch of narrative gaps around it. Characters were there just to be there, and a variety of sets were used that had no real barring on the extremely vague lore being presented. Yet, mostly, nothing is explained in any kind of meaningful exposition, and (again) you end up not caring about anything or anyone in this film in the slightest. D grade.

 

I didn't see a lot of "new movies" this year. But I did get to watch a lot of "new to me" movies. So, I think rather than doing a top ten, it'll just be easier for me to categorize the 'Good' to the ''Whatever' to the "Awful" :

Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2021
Top Gun: Maverick 2022
Less Than Zero 1987
Life of Pi 2012

Prey 2022
Scanners II: The New Order 1991
Werewolf by Night 2022

Whatever:
Hellraiser 2022
Shoot to Kill 1988
Smile 2022
Knowing 2009

Awful:

The Batman 2022
No Time to Die 2021
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 2022
By the Sword 1991
What Is a Woman? 2022
The Midnight Meat Train 2008
