I hate fucking Lane Kiffin. I just want to kick him so hard in the face. SO FUCKING HARD!

I didn't hate them as much as I do now back then, but that's probably because I can tolerate Pete Carroll.

Pete Carroll is one of 3 football coaches I absolutely fucking despise, fuck that prick. Saban & Rex Ryan being the other two coaches I can't stand.

Daniel Tosh, another guy I wanna kick the shit out of. I'm in the minority there (I think) as everyone seems to love the guy.

Oh, I'm with you there, I have NEVER found this asshole funny, he just annoys the piss out of me.

You want in on some fantasy hockey Theo, if IDR ever sends me his email I'm gonna have to expand the league to 10 teams & we'll be needing another guy. Draft is gonna be this Sunday at 8:30 pm ET, if you're interested.

Rock's stuff kind of sucked, but CM Punk's was all sorts of amazing.

The fuck were you watching? You can thank Rock for bringing the crowd back into that promo after Punk more or less murdered them and all interest. Pipe Bomb? Any kind of bomb would have been a mercy.

The Rock just brought the same tired, immature humor that he always does, and when Punk called him on it... he went right back to the same immature jokes. Even when he got serious he sucked.

FUCK THE ROCKY, I'LL PUT HIM TO SLEEP AND HUMBLE HIM.

Lol, people have been calling Rock out on his catch phrases since HHH started resorting to it to even stand a chance over 10 years ago, nobody cared then and nobody cares now. Punk's just the latest in a long line and thing is, at the end of the day you'll still be hearing "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" After he's spouted his catchphrases and stayed in character despite his opponents attempts to sabotage it with their gritty realism and over serious personalities, while also trying to make themselves look uber cool at his expense. Then Rock tells them about his size 15 boot and that he's going to stick it up their ass and he still looks like solid gold in comparison, so he's not going to stop now, anyway, why should he? He's a trash talker.

I dunno man, I think last night proved that Punk is a nothing and Rock still has a place in modern day WWE. Punk got one half decent line, which was lifted from somewhere else anyway.

But I guess you like what you like Mr. Glass.

 

[JGlass]

I hate to sound like a bratty college student, but this Japanese film class has not started off brilliantly. We spent a solid hour talking about how to identify what genre a movie is by the movie poster. The professor also dismissed my suggestion that the World War II film is a thing of the past while putting up Musicals as a dead film genre. Bitch, Les Mis JUST came out! And didn't Chicago win all sorts of Oscars not so long ago?

Sup Freddy? Digging the sig.

The fuck were you watching? You can thank Rock for bringing the crowd back into that promo after Punk more or less murdered them and all interest. Pipe Bomb? Any kind of bomb would have been a mercy.

The crowd was hardly killed, but I get what you're saying, the promo did drag a bit. It was a good promo, but not great.

After he's spouted his catchphrases and stayed in character despite his opponents attempts to sabotage it with their gritty realism and over serious personalities, while also trying to make themselves look uber cool at his expense.

Isn't this exactly what The Rock does to his opponents every time he grabs a mic? Isn't turn about fair play?

To me, The Rock's catchphrases paint the picture of a guy who is just cashing in on an easy formula. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it bothers me that it's been working for about a decade now and nobody seems to care.

Then Rock tells them about his size 15 boot and that he's going to stick it up their ass and he still looks like solid gold in comparison, so he's not going to stop now, anyway, why should he? He's a trash talker.

I dunno man, I think last night proved that Punk is a nothing and Rock still has a place in modern day WWE. Punk got one half decent line, which was lifted from somewhere else anyway.

I don't get why people are angry that Punk either A) stole that line from a song or B) stole that line from a musical. I have no problem with wrestlers taking inspiration from other media.

And Rock isn't a trash talker; he's a line dropper. When you use the same insults one the same people over and over and over again, it loses it's meaning. If the school bully calls one kid a ******, then that kid might be pretty insulted. If the school bully calls everyone a ****** then the word loses its sting because he uses it for everyone.

When Rock did deviate from his normal shtick he made no sense. He told CM Punk could get a tattoo of a Snickers but not an Almond Joy because he has no nuts, but Snickers have nuts too. That's not to mention he already made a "straight edge scrotum" joke earlier in the night.

But I guess you like what you like Mr. Glass.

Fair enough. I don't want to take anyone's enjoyment away, it's just that The Rock's "Johnny come lately (for a quick cash-in)" attribute drives me nuts.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

And he never specified what kind of M&Ms. Peanut M&Ms have nuts damn it. I care about these things.

 

[Uncle Sam]

A peanut is not a nut - it is a legume.

Additional trivia: The Rock is not a wrestler but a nostalgia machine. Pop a quarter in and receive your catchphrase of choice.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Fine. Almond M&Ms have nuts.

I'll take an interrupting, "It doesn't matter..."

 

[Uncle Sam]

It doesn't matter if you matter. The night The Rock became philosophical.

 

[Барбоса]

Fine. Almond M&Ms have nuts.

Don't think the almond is a true nut either.

 

[JGlass]

Don't think the almond is a true nut either.

I think the part of the almond that we eat is actually a seed. Are there any candies that contain hazelnut?

 

[Richard Blonoff]

The Rock said Almond Joys have nuts, he is pretty famous, seems like a quality guy to listen to.

 

[JGlass]

The Rock said Almond Joys have nuts, he is pretty famous, seems like a quality guy to listen to.

Yeah, but he also inferred that Snickers do not have nuts, and Snickers do have nuts, thus undercutting his credibility.

 

[Miko]

The crowd was hardly killed, but I get what you're saying, the promo did drag a bit. It was a good promo, but not great.

Well, I guess the muted reaction coinciding with the fact that I was legitimately thinking of hanging myself out of boredom towards the end might bias my judgement a bit. It's just that when people claim the Rock rehashes and then laud CM Punk, I dont get it, you know, same shit every week, aint it?

Isn't this exactly what The Rock does to his opponents every time he grabs a mic? Isn't turn about fair play?

To me, The Rock's catchphrases paint the picture of a guy who is just cashing in on an easy formula. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it bothers me that it's been working for about a decade now and nobody seems to care.

Rock's attacks only seem skin deep, a throwback to a time when such things were common place and the kind of thing that John Cena does now, mocking the looks, maybe the catchphrases. Not like the character sabotage thats seems to be attempted on him by various people in an attempt to win over a few folks on the net, to be fair, those people are the guys that I would say are guilty of doing their absolute best to belittle just about anybody they are not fans of beyond repair. It just resonates with The Rock because a lot of people buy into it.

Nobody cares because Rock's still funny and still entertaining to a lot of people, read, most people. Thats why we liked him then and why we like him now. But if anything he's toned down over the years.

I don't get why people are angry that Punk either A) stole that line from a song or B) stole that line from a musical. I have no problem with wrestlers taking inspiration from other media.

Angry? No, just not overly keen on giving him too much credit, or calling it brilliant.

And Rock isn't a trash talker; he's a line dropper. When you use the same insults one the same people over and over and over again, it loses it's meaning. If the school bully calls one kid a ******, then that kid might be pretty insulted. If the school bully calls everyone a ****** then the word loses its sting because he uses it for everyone.

I dont recall Rock calling Punk a fruity pebble once. Anyway, thats like saying that "Pipe Bomb" can only be used exclusively against John Cena because he was the first recipient.

When Rock did deviate from his normal shtick he made no sense. He told CM Punk could get a tattoo of a Snickers but not an Almond Joy because he has no nuts, but Snickers have nuts too. That's not to mention he already made a "straight edge scrotum" joke earlier in the night.

Sometimes I analyse funny and bore myself to tears as well.

Fair enough. I don't want to take anyone's enjoyment away, it's just that The Rock's "Johnny come lately (for a quick cash-in)" attribute drives me nuts.

Err, not sure what else he should be doing, guy was on top of the World when he left and he can still go now, plus, just like with Cena he's going to get the best out of Punk and make him look like solid gold. You dont subscribe to the "paying your dues" mentality, do you?

Kurosawa for all the wins! That reminds me, I saw 13 Assassins the other day, 2 things; albeit I was a bit drunk, but everytime the villain appeared on screen I had to tell him how much of a dick he was in increasingly louder tones. Secondly, flaming cattle.
Seven Samurai it was indeed not. Clue was in the title I suppose.

Wasn't Atonement technically a dubya-dubya-dos film?

It's just that when people claim the Rock rehashes and then laud CM Punk, I dont get it, you know, same shit every week, aint it?

Normally I'd be happy to be critical of CM Punk, but I thought he was good last night. I think you're being a little to hyperbolic when describing the crowd's reaction to Punk. Sure, they blew up when Rock came out, but they weren't exactly dead with Punk.

Rock's attacks only seem skin deep, a throwback to a time when such things were common place and the kind of thing that John Cena does now, mocking the looks, maybe the catchphrases. Not like the character sabotage thats seems to be attempted on him by various people in an attempt to win over a few folks on the net, to be fair, those people are the guys that I would say are guilty of doing their absolute best to belittle just about anybody they are not fans of beyond repair. It just resonates with The Rock because a lot of people buy into it.

I was actually talking to Harthan about this last night. I'd agree that Punk did a little too much, "Look how cool and edgy I am," last night, but as someone who doesn't like Rock anyway, I liked it.

Nobody cares because Rock's still funny and still entertaining to a lot of people, read, most people. Thats why we liked him then and why we like him now. But if anything he's toned down over the years.

I found nothing he said funny last night, and I'm always willing to give someone their due when they actually are funny.

Angry? No, just not overly keen on giving him too much credit, or calling it brilliant.

Well I thought it was a pretty great line, definitely fit the situation like a glove.

I dont recall Rock calling Punk a fruity pebble once. Anyway, thats like saying that "Pipe Bomb" can only be used exclusively against John Cena because he was the first recipient.

Swap out fruity pebble, swap in cookiepuss, neither of them are particularly funny.

Sometimes I analyse funny and bore myself to tears as well.

How is immediately realizing a joke makes no sense analyzing funny?

Err, not sure what else he should be doing, guy was on top of the World when he left and he can still go now, plus, just like with Cena he's going to get the best out of Punk and make him look like solid gold. You dont subscribe to the "paying your dues" mentality, do you?

I don't subscribe to paying my dues. I was actually talking to someone recently about how it's not really The Rock that I have a problem with as much as the fans that don't care that he leaves and comes back whenever he feels like it, and these are the same people that shit on John Cena despite the fact he busts his ass for them every week. The Rock's priorities make sense for him and I can't fault him for that.

 

[Барбоса]

Atonement, Valkryie, Miracle at St. Anna, Red Tails and Inglorious Bastards and future releases such as Brothers in Arms suggest that the Second World War era still has plenty of legs.

But to say Musicals are dead is just dumb. The High School Musical series, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Les Mis and the inevitable Glee movie suggest that the musical is still very much alive and probably a lot stronger than it has been in years.

 

[JGlass]

Kurosawa for all the wins! That reminds me, I saw 13 Assassins the other day, 2 things; albeit I was a bit drunk, but everytime the villain appeared on screen I had to tell him how much of a dick he was in increasingly louder tones. Secondly, flaming cattle.
Seven Samurai it was indeed not. Clue was in the title I suppose.

We will be watching quite a bit of Kurosawa, but no Seven Samurai. Fortunately, the film club is screening that on Wednesday should I choose to honor them with the presence of their former Commander in Chief.

Wasn't Atonement technically a dubya-dubya-dos film?

It was, but that was what, 2005? I'm not sure one has been produced since then.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Mick Foley has stated before that he thinks the best characters and promos come when guys are playing an extension of their real life self. I think that is what Punk is doing. The guy is my current favorite wrestler, but much like Shawn Michaels, I enjoy his work but I wouldn't have a drink with either man...if they did in fact drink. Punk typically comes off as a guy who hates most people and fans, which is why I think he is such a great heel. When he says things like "I sold out and cashed in on you" he probably means it. He is the same guy who once made a comment about how no one would recognize him if he walked through an airport, but when people do recognize him he usually acts like it is the biggest inconvenience ever. In his mind he really is the best in the world and he is better than everyone.

I think he is legitimately angry over how he gets treated. Back when THQ was in the process of selecting the cover athlete for WWE '13, Punk was their guy. The WWE execs told them no, put anyone on the cover but Punk. THQ went against the WWE wishes and put him on the cover. The don't promote his appearances on TV shows, but they did promote that reality show that Eve was on. I don't think it is as bad as a lot of the IWC guys will make it appear to me, but he has gripes and I think that comes through in his promos.

Just my take.

Crowd was meh, best I can say about them.

I was actually talking to Harthan about this last night. I'd agree that Punk did a little too much, "Look how cool and edgy I am," last night, but as someone who doesn't like Rock anyway, I liked it.

See, I like Punk, thats how I can tell I am more unbiased than you *insert wink to make sure you know we are all friends here*, but he is far, far too self serving in that sense, which is probably why I find Daniel Bryan infinately more entertaining.

I found nothing he said funny last night, and I'm always willing to give someone their due when they actually are funny.

His jokes were meh, but I let him off on account of his normal reliability in the field.

Well I thought it was a pretty great line, definitely fit the situation like a glove.

Yeah it was alright, I just felt like pre-emptively saying it wasnt awesome before it gets put up there with Austin 3:16.

Swap out fruity pebble, swap in cookiepuss, neither of them are particularly funny.

So what you're saying is he's not the kind of bully that calls everybody a ****** like you originally claimed? "Big fat bowl of fruity pebbles" was chuckle worthy, "cookie puss" sucked, but as I've said about him before, still got the entire arena chanting it. Anyone else, laughed out the building.

How is immediately realizing a joke makes no sense analyzing funny?

Shows you eat too much chocolate mate.

I don't subscribe to paying my dues. I was actually talking to someone recently about how it's not really The Rock that I have a problem with as much as the fans that don't care that he leaves and comes back whenever he feels like it, and these are the same people that shit on John Cena despite the fact he busts his ass for them every week. The Rock's priorities make sense for him and I can't fault him for that.

Cant speak for those, not always Cena's biggest fan but I'll never criticise his work rate, only his facial expressions from time to time.

Just my take.

Might have a point here, I'd be angry as well. I'd also compare Punk to HBK in a certain way, except for Shawn the dick sucking has been retrospective whereas with Punk it's pre-emptive.

EDIT - I take it my ban from this thread has been lifted? If not then apologies.

It was, but that was what, 2005? I'm not sure one has been produced since then.

I think I've still got his crime film collection to watch but his 'jidai-geki' (I think that's the term, samurai era) films are ones I'm more familiar with. If he doesn't show you Ran, check it out anyway. Sort of a pre-cursor to Hero and House of Flying Daggers' use of colour.

It was!? I still haven't seen it. Learning how long it's been out just makes me feel extra lazy. No wonder Keira's pouting.

 

[Theo Mays]

I enjoy the Punk/Rock segment. Punk was just fucking fantastic last night, he was bringing. I liked The Rock too, I felt both men work the mic well together and I can't wait for the continued build of this feud.

In the continuing saga of "Theo's personal life" I've struck out with yet another lady. Though this one I didn't expect to work, I figured I'd give it a shot though. Well our age is a big issue (I figured that as I was weary upon that myself) and she wants to try and work out her marriage, which will be good for her kids. The woman around here suck. That or I just can't find any good ones. I'm gonna be single forever haha.

 

[JGlass]

Crowd was meh, best I can say about them.

They had been up and down all night long.

See, I like Punk, thats how I can tell I am more unbiased than you *insert wink to make sure you know we are all friends here*, but he is far, far too self serving in that sense, which is probably why I find Daniel Bryan infinately more entertaining.

Well Daniel Bryan is better than Punk, so that makes sense.

His jokes were meh, but I let him off on account of his normal reliability in the field.

You say normal reliability, I say repetitive shtick.

Yeah it was alright, I just felt like pre-emptively saying it wasnt awesome before it gets put up there with Austin 3:16.

I suppose if anyone is going to besmearch 3:16 it would be Punk marks.

So what you're saying is he's not the kind of bully that calls everybody a ****** like you originally claimed? "Big fat bowl of fruity pebbles" was chuckle worthy, "cookie puss" sucked, but as I've said about him before, still got the entire arena chanting it. Anyone else, laughed out the building.

Fine, he's not the bully that calls everyone ******. He's the bully that calls one kid ******, one kid ***, one kid gaywad, and so on and so forth. No matter what, it's still uncreative and ridiculous.

Shows you eat too much chocolate mate.

EDIT - I take it my ban from this thread has been lifted? If not then apologies.

When were you banned from this thread?

Generally that's a good thing...
