    Hall of Fame 2015

    in Pro Wrestling

    Posted

    Finally one of my all time favourite wrestlers is being inducted. Randy Savage! I am stoked for this. Long overdue. I am not sure how many times I watched Wrestlemania IV when I was a teen.

     

    I have a wish list of mine.

     

    Undertaker. Too soon? The streak is over so why keep him wrestling when its clean his career is over. Perfect time to induct.

     

    Demolition. Longest reigning tag team champs. My all time favourite tag team! Road Warrior wannabes? Who cares they were awesome in the day.

     

    Honkey Tonk Man. Not a huge mark on him. Manipulated the record long title reign and wasn't that talented but his mark is in history.

     

    King Kong Bundy. One of my favourite big men. Main vented the second Wrestlemania and made a bis splash in the first and third one as well.

     

    Magnum TA. since not all HOFers are WWWF/WWF/WWE mainstays he is a perfect addition.

     

    Ivan Kolloff. Ended Bruno's historic reign.

     

    Cindy Loper. I don't care about the Celebrity wing but if you want to introduce someone may as well be her.

    X-Men Days of Future Past

    Probably the best Superhero movie since The Dark Knight

    Amazing Spider-man 2

     

    B-

     

    Good movie. Not bad writing but not much real drama or twist.

    Godzilla

    Good for a monster movie. Liked how they started it in Asia but as always it's always America focused.

    Han will die in E7

    in Star Wars

    Onto the topic it is safe to assume an original character will die. Han dying a heroic fighting death will make for great screen. Luke will obviously be the Jedi master and like Obi Wan (ANH) and Qui Gon Jin (PM) he is logically on the top of the list. Luke dying though could better come off in episode VIII or IX like Yoda's death.

    Really liked this episode. Really seeing the recast Tommen coming into his own. Actually trying to be a decent king.

     

    Tywin is awesome. Really liked his conversations with his grandson as well as the Red Viper. Shows who really is in charge of things.

     

    Hound lowered on the scale of sympathetic bad guys. Still the scene was great with Arya.

     

    Wildlings are really a nasty group. Hell hath no fury...

     

     

    Apparently even George Martin himself didn't like the rape scene. It wasn't rape in the book but it definitely was in the show.

     

     

     

    “In the novels, Jaime is not present at Joffrey’s death, and indeed, Cersei has been fearful that he is dead himself, that she has lost both the son and the father/ lover/ brother. And then suddenly Jaime is there before her. Maimed and changed, but Jaime nonetheless. Though the time and place is wildly inappropriate and Cersei is fearful of discovery, she is as hungry for him as he is for her.

    The whole dynamic is different in the show, where Jaime has been back for weeks at the least, maybe longer, and he and Cersei have been in each other’s company on numerous occasions, often quarreling. The setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books, which may be why [producers] played the sept out differently. But that’s just my surmise; we never discussed this scene, to the best of my recollection.

    Also, I was writing the scene from Jaime’s POV, so the reader is inside his head, hearing his thoughts. On the TV show, the camera is necessarily external. You don’t know what anyone is thinking or feeling, just what they are saying and doing.

    If the show had retained some of Cersei’s dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression — but that dialogue was very much shaped by the circumstances of the books, delivered by a woman who is seeing her lover again for the first time after a long while apart during which she feared he was dead. I am not sure it would have worked with the new timeline.

    That’s really all I can say on this issue. The scene was always intended to be disturbing… but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons.”
