Neither Trump nor Biden should be running.  Get some fresh blood in there for fuck's sake.  Although looking at the Dems possible contenders, they look like a lot of the same to me.  I don't want Sanders or Warren running either.  They are both old as fuck.  And really, there's nothing wrong with their upside being capped as just Senators.

Vince McMahon totally mishandled the end of the Macho Man's tenure in the WWF.  I often wonder whether or not Hart vs Savage as the WM IX main event would have been better.  Savage was one of the final two guys in the Royal Rumble that year.

I did like the last Savage match (or one of the last ones) in the WWF, think it was a last man standing match vs Crush at Wrestlemania 10.

If that's true, that's the biggest problem.  It's that he doesn't really care that it looks like a clown show.  On the music (or lack of): that's on him and has been consistent over multiple managers.  I'll give TB a break on that one.

At some point the well is going to dry up though.  And they are going to have to be run professionally.

Forgotten---some Netflix Korean film.  Turned out to be quite good and it deals with the psycholgical thriller stuff that the Koreans are quite good at.  Somewhat of a con/twist movie if I were to describe.

The Firm--this one could have been great.  As it is it's just solid.  The 2.5 hour run time is too much.  The acting and cast really are all ace across the board.   Sydney Pollack directed this and I think he wanted this to be his conspiracy thriller of the 1990s.  But it comes nowhere close to Three Days of the  Condor which is more tightly plotted and has more urgency.    I guess some of it is down to the Grisham novel. Honestly, I would have just dumped some of the stuff between Mitch (Tom Cruise's character) and his wife and focused on the nefarious doings of the firm.  This is one of those, I'll watch once every decade kind of films.

I just shake my head because I have nephews who are born in the 2000s and they will never know the cultural impact (or maybe they don't care) of the cinema.  A lot of the older theaters were in these building that were around since the 1930s (or insert decade here) and had been through a lot of events.  I just remember going into one of those theaters and just feeling a small connection to history.  There's just something special about just going into one of those older theaters.  I can't fully explain this in words.  But you always mention our culture getting dumbed down or lost etc...and this is one of them.

Oh, theaters used to have a little video game area where you could either hang out with friends or just kill time.  Those are pretty much gone now in favor of more diverse food options (overpriced food).

This isn't only on theaters too.  I went to a retailer (cough...Target) to kill some time and beat the heat today.  Holy shit, I was depressed at what they turned that store into.  It was clean, clinical, depressing and pretty empty.  It made me think back and miss the Woolworth's near the complex where I used to live in the 80s.  It was close by and sometimes my grandma would just browse. 

LOL, not very fond of black people.  You're being super nice there.  It's worse than you think.  At least amongst the older generation Chinese.  I don't know if it's prevalent amongst the younger generation. But man some of the racist stuff I've heard (personal experience here) is like...let me put it this way, if a White (or any other race had said this stuff) there'd be an outrage.  Certain races "smell".  I've heard blacks athletes referred to as like horses/animals.  It's Hollywood hypocrisy at it's worst.  Rail on something that may or may not be racist while getting into bed with a nation that is full of racists.  Again, it's probably not all/majority of the population but I would bet a lot of them have that attitude/those thoughts.

Agree with Executive Decision.  There's a good 100 minute film there.  The last twenty mins or so are not neccesary.

What they should have done with Speed 2 is went with a train or a plane.  The luxury liner was a dumb idea.  Oh, I just read that Keanu got blackballed from 20th Century Fox for around 10 years because he refused to do Speed 2.  Fuck that shit,  he was right not to do it.

Yeah, the problem with what Hollywood is doing with minorities (and women) is that it's obvious and uneccesary.  I'm all for them making films that show off their experience/different viewpoints of the world.  I'm fine with something like Bound which shows two lesbian women trying to steal money from a mobster in a traditionally male oriented (noir) genre.   Or Dead Presidents that specially dealt with post Vietnam malaise amongst blacks.  Those are at least interesting and new ideas.

What I don't like them making a new Ghostbusters that featured minorities and women just because they didn't feature them enough the first time.  It's not like they are making a totally new film.  It's just rehashed shit with women/minorities in the lead instead of men.
