Twilight

The movie Pan was worse by far. Supposedly it's a prequel to Peter Pan, despite it establishing that Pan was born after the events of the original story thus making it impossible for him to have encountered the Darlings in Victorian era London. They then proceeded to make Captain Hook an American cowboy, tossed Blackbeard into the story for no discernable reason and had none of Tiger Lily's tribe played by actual Native Americans. By the time the pirates started singing a Nirvana song I was done. They tried to cover their shoddy storytelling with utter lunacy but didn't have the sense to keep up that vibe either. For the record, I did not like Hook either.

I must admit, there's a certain part of me that would find that rather appealing. Not a part of me that I'm particularly proud of mind you.

Poor strategy I'd think. I mean I don't know how most Americans feel about the vaccine but I know they love their football and I feel safe in saying that the majority of them care FAR more about the Super Bowl then they do the GOP. Effing with the thing the voters adore isn't going to be turning anybody to your cause.

So attempts to mimic the BS in Ottawa failed in both Toronto and Vancouver. In Toronto police shut down the attempted process with ease and in Vancouver, citizens had the COVIDiots corralled before the police could even arrive. In Ottawa, well I'd call the Ottawa Police Service a bunch of Zapp Brannigans but they don't even talk a good game. Efforts are being made but it's clear that the Ontario Provincial Police or the RCMP, or both, will have to be sent in for the mess in Ottawa to be handled competently. I expect many "protesters" to be arrested before this is over and many members of the OPS to lose their jobs, at the very least.

It's certainly making me embarrassed to live here, that's for sure. Looks like the RCMP aren't all that eager to live up to their famous reputation, when they have to face off against unarmed nitwits who're afraid of needles. 🤬

Given the situation in Ottawa and at the border in recent days, I'll take this moment to wish any chat members from the province of Ontario good luck if they happen to be in the vicinity of the Canada Goose Mob. So named because at the end of the day it's just a bunch of honking and pooping everywhere.

And in WWE being WWE for some reason they've given Walter the new ring name of "Gunther Stark" despite Walter being a character on WWE television in some shape or form for years. Worse yet they apparently trademarked the name without googling it. It seems there was an actual guy named Gunther Stark who was a U-Boat commander for the Nazis. 🤬

Posting this for whomever might be interested:

Coraline was a novel wasn't it?

I'd heard she got axed. I hope I'm mistaken, since I do want the NXT guys to do well but given how cut happy WWE's been lately I'm not holding out any hope.

Road Dog and Allison Danger got canned too, which I have to think does not bode well for NXT. All but two of the veterans are gone, the rest are green as grass and the super talented trainers who were meant to help them develop are gone too. So you have a bunch of green guys with only two people to help them develop into something better.

So the previous Saturday I went to a wrestling show in my hometown. Just a local show, I doubt you'd have heard of anybody wrestling on it unless you're from Ontario and follow the indy scene there. That being said the show was enjoyable, the wrestlers worked hard to entertain the fans and I got some nice merch. Why am I bringing this up? Well every thing's been kinda dismal lately, what with WWE cutting so many people during the pandemic and all. I figured you all might appreciate a pleasant wrestling story. A small one to be sure, but pleasant none the less. ☺️

I don't imagine that guy gets to shoot anybody before being shot himself. Cops shoot him down without any thought about what the man's intentions are, regardless if he's being threatening at the time then malign his memory to justify it.

So I saw the Eternals and....well I didn't despise it the way I despised Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom or The Dark Knight Rises but, well I found the movie rather dull to be honest. It looked like it was building to something but with an hour left in the movie I was well past caring since the characters weren't all that interesting, nothing much seemed to be happening and despite the movie focusing on Marvel's cosmic characters nothing cosmic seemed to be happening. The thing that interested me most was Kingu being a one person Bollywood dynasty and that was ignored mere moments after it was brought up. Sure shows up at the end, but that only made me wonder why he wasn't introduced earlier. In short, I cannot recommend this flick.

It was. They've been building Josh Alexander up for months now, establishing him as one of the greatest X-Division champs ever and he cashes in his title at the last PPV to get a shot at the world title at Bound for Glory. The booking revolved around Christian Cage vs Josh Alexander for the Impact World Title. So after all that brilliant booking of Josh Alexander at the end of Bound for Glory they piss it all away to put the title on Dollar Store Bobby Lashley.

This just in: Impact Wrestling does something amazingly stupid at Bound for Glory. Fans not surprised, merely very upset.

Likewise, to be honest. Flair ought to have been canned alongside Hall due to that stunt. Just like Lesnar ought to have been canned alongside Hennig as a result of the brawl.

Prior to watching that episode of Dark Side of the RIng I'd known that situation was incredibly messed up. However I'd never imagined it was quite THAT messed up.

For those curious who the first Japanese wrestler Death Tribble mentioned was, it was Satoshi Kojima who is also a Japanese legend. One of the few people to have won both the IWGP Heavyweight title and the All Japan Triple Crown.

Gotta say, it's not just ladies noticing the subtext between the two. I mean it was strong enough that I noticed and I'm not always the most perceptive regarding such things.

Fixed that for ya dude.

Given that he literally hasn't done that, it's clearly not a "Drake thing." He's bi, he likes guys and girls.

No, they very literally didn't. His previous relationships with girls weren't retconned away, he and Stephanie Brown were still boyfriend and girlfriend he's just into boys too.

Not just in the new show. She's been the Sorceress' daughter since the minicomics after all, the only thing that's changed are the specifics of Teela's birth.

Right, I bought the MOTU Minicomic Collection from Dark Horse, the MOTU Character Guide and World Compendium from Dark Horse, my book shelf is currently decorated with MOTU figures but tell me again how I'm not a diehard fan. 🤪Face facts man, the original show was a paint by numbers production and the character bible was ignored for the most part. I mean sure I liked the original series well enough but it was only ever adequate, with it occasionally reaching above average when they cribbed directly from the minicomics. The reboot was far better in terms of action, characterization and storyline. Heck the original show didn't even try to incorporate most of the characters from the franchise. More likely she'll end up the new Sorceress, should the original Sorceress fall. She is the Sorceress' daughter after all and had the reboot gotten it's, justly deserved in my opinion, third season that's likely what would have happened.
