  3. Random wrestling thoughts

    in Sports

    Posted

    So, I sat down to watch Smackdown for the first time in probably a decade, and I’ve only kept up with the barest of bare minimum stuff (departure of Punk, Danielson retiring, Attitude Era Guys slowly phasing out, etc)...

    AJ Styles is the WWE champion.

    And then the main event is Kevin Steen vs El Generico. 

    What universe is this?

    Christmas Eve: 

    The Original Star Wars Trilogy on Blu Ray

    Hellboy Funko POP 

    Johnny Cash socks. 

    I could not even begin to list what the kids got. Massive hauls. Pokémon plushes, more PJ Mask and Paw Patrol stuff than I knew existed, so many sets of pajamas, some kind of aromatherapy owl. The list goes on. 

  13. What games are you currently playing?

    Pokémon Ultra Moon: If you’re a hardcore Pokémon fan (like me) or if you skipped regular Sun and Moon last year, this is fantastic. The difficulty has been ramped up and the story changes are really, really cool. The added features like Wormhole Running, and surfing from island to island are tremendously fun. 

    Team Rainbow Rocket in the postgame is a pure nostalgia bomb, too. 

    That said, there isn’t a massive amount of updated content. If you didn’t care for Sun and Moon, this won’t change your mind.

    Saw it today. Liked it, didn’t love it. A lot of the set up stuff was rough, but after Superman hit the scene, it was fantastic. Not a fan of Barry, especially given that we’ve seen his story done so well recently on TV. But, overall, it felt like a big step in the right direction, especially in the Superman Department  

    That said, I saw it in an empty theatre with my wife, literally just the two of us. So, I’m not sure word of mouth is great. 

    I do have to mention one huge mark out moment:

    Booyah! from Cyborg had me freaking out.

  21. Thor: Ragnarok

    And yes, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Jeff Goldblum are all very funny guys. I loved Hemsworth In Ghostbusters. Goldblum has made a second career out of being weird and funny. 

    You know who else is a very funny guy? Robert DeNiro.  I still don’t want to see him in a comedy. Thor doesn’t need to be funny. He needs to be badass and wreck stuff with his hammer like he’s in a Dio music video. The opening with him destroying Sutur’s forces to “The Immigrant Song”? That’s the perfect Thor movie. It’s like Waiti knew exactly what to do, but decided  to throw us a curveball. It was still pretty good, but it could have been so much better. 

    And fuck off for killing the Warriors Three. You want comic relief in Thor and you kill Volstagg?

    My guess: Hercules will be introduced very soon.

    I Fuckin’ hope so. That said, I liked this. Didn’t love it. I liked the idea of Shakespearean high drama in the MCU and I thought the first Thor did a nice job with that. This was a Guardians movie. Not to say I don’t love the Guardians flicks, or that this didn’t work. But it wasn’t a  Thor film. This was a Hulk movie or a Herc movie. 

     

    And maybe it’s because I loved Hulk and his Warbound, but, Korg really bugged me. Comic Korg was a serious, capable warrior who literally wanted to kill Thor for decimating his people. 

    Movie Korg was... ...Idiot Kiwi Ben Grimm?
