Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Y 2 Jake]

I don't mind LaBeouf, he's the best thing in his shitty films. The soundtrack is the best thing in a Michael Cera film.

I missed that whole Even Stevens phase, bit too old luckily.

 

[Uncle Sam]

SP got five stars in the new issue of Empire. You lied to me, Jake. You said it wasn't a four star film.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

They couldn't juggle 5 characters in Iron Man 2, how the fuck are they going to cope with The Avengers?

 

[Tastycles]

Unless Diana Rigg's in it, I'm not interested.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm going to assume that's an attractive woman.

Jake, one of those randomers on Facebook posted this:

I'm curious as to your thoughts.

Phillistine! I was making an hilarious joke where I pretended that Jake was talking about the 1960s British TV series The Avengers, starring Diana Rigg as the heroine Emma Peel, when in fact he was talking about a clusterfuck superhero film.

If you think The Avengers is going to be a clusterfuck just wait until The Justice League comes out...

This is why I don't do randoms on Facebook, by the way. I'm not interested in the happenings of people I've net, let alone some 14 year old from Grimsby.

It's a well done tattoo. But it's on a woman and from afar it's going to look very macho.

Won't happen. Batman is now, or close to, a billion dollar film franchise. A Justice League movie would cost more, but would it make significantly more than a solo Batman?

The Avengers is only being made because they've exhausted a lot of their main guys in crappy films. DC have barely even started yet and so far they seem to have more quality control.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I change my mind, that tattoo is awful. It's like a colouring in book image.

This is true, although if done well it could work stupendously. Im nearly positive the first one will be bad, but then they could learn from it and make the inevitable sequel. And if they do lets say a Thanos saga and make them episodic it will come across a lot better.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

How is schooling coming along Jake?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Piece of piss mate. I assumed it'd be harder. But they give you work, you do it and that's it. The only problem I've noticed with some people is that they don't start the work when they're given it and then they struggle to get it in on time.

I think it starts proper in three weeks. I'm not looking forward to hanging around with lots of pretentious film students.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I bet half of them will think Scott Pilgrim was five stars and half of them won't - but only because it was too commercial.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I bet none of them will think Piranha is 5 star entertainment either.

Sam, Belle De Jour or Risky Business?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Risky Business.

This is an excerpt of a post from another forum. Tell me the nationality of the poster:

CM Punk – 1. How is that not a skinhead stable. 2. Amazing mic work

Wade Barrett – Oywm Wayde Bawwett.

Sheamus – He says things like “Oi” and it makes me laugh

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Could be three different, but based on the Sheamus quote I'll say American.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Good guess. Correct. Remember that weird nuance I heard in Barrett's accent? I think that was because of the compressed sound. Don't hear it at all on TV. All I hear is, "YOU WHAT!?".

Edit: I also enjoyed it when he said "Hold your horses" last week. Nearly as much as Sheamus' "plastic paddies."

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I had to re-read the Barrett one, I thought it was in Welsh.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Something Ryan in FCW; supposedly the Welsh Batista. But anybody knows that the only nationality Batista couldn't have got to work is Welsh, so where do we go from here?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I also noticed you get the exact same default reaction in the TNA section that I used to:

"Oh, so you just hate everything in TNA, don't you?" - or some variation thereof.

My reply: "The day TNA stops being shit is the day I stop pointing it out" - or some variation thereof.

I'm still not sure where the ''AJ Styles is still good'' argument is coming from. Or anything positive relating to Joe. Must've been those two months when they were waiting for Hogan to arrive and TNA wasn't awful. 'Cus that's the best TNA ever is, not awful.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I liked the Jericho - Mysterio match at Extreme Rules much better, jus sayin

 

[Tastycles]

That match was probably the best match of the last 5 years or something.

 

[Ferbian]

Might be my awful memory, but I would've probably said their match at The Bash was better. Don't remember much from either one of them though, but I remember praising the Bash match.

Either way, Rey and Jericho together normally equals wonderful wrestling. I can't help but think how Punk and Jericho would do together in the ring.
