Voted for Madagascar. Atlas grew on me as I listened to it more and more

Sharkey's Machine (1981) Semi-sleazy early 80s Burt Reynolds (has a 70s feel) cop thriller that is pretty entertaining. Slightly overlong but watchable and is shot in Atlanta. Noteable because Burt directed this feel. The ending is pretty funny. Eurocrime icon Henry Silva does well as the antagonist.
State of Grace (1990) Neo noir crime thriller set in NYC. Starring Sean Penn, Ed Harris. Gary Oldman steals the film with his energetic portrayal of a NYC gangster. Must mention a very hot Robin Wright here. There's an interesting commentary on gentrification in NYC that is an underlying theme of the film. Oh, almost forgot Sweet Child O'Mine was playing in one of the scenes of the film. Found it funny since one of the leaks is called State of Grace.
Real McCoy (1993) Reallly dull and boring heist film starring Kim Basssinger. Aside from LA Confidential, I've never really liked any of her other roles. She always seems cold and bland and is no exception here. Not even Val Kilmer and Terrence Stamp can save this snoozer. Dull films like this probably offend me more than awful films.

Atari has it right on the first page. Rick is insane if he thinks after flaunting all that, that the band would welcome him backstage.

Madagascar for me. I like listening to all the different sounds in Prostitute.

I just read what happened in the main event at Hell In A Cell and I'm reminded of when they decided to introduce disqualifications to the WWE version of ECW. And from the sounds of it the Rollins-Wyatt match got the same reaction as the infamous Big Show-Batista ECW match, at least at the end.
I was a hardcore wrestling fan that had to watch from start to finish. Eventually I felt that it started to go downhill, probably after the Invasion angle. I had hopes when they said they were going to bring back ECW since both One Night Stand PPVs were good, but then I saw the show on Sci-Fi. I also had hope when it was announced that Hogan and Bischoff were going to TNA, but then we saw how that turned out. I keep hoping for the best with wrestling but they end up dropping the ball.
But with that said I'll probably always be a wrestling fan, just not as hardcore. Before the whole show would be worth watching to me, and if you told me years ago that there would be the WWE Network and at least five hours of of new wrestling every week, I'd need to change my underwear. Now it doesn't get me nearly as excited, but even if the overall product doesn't interest me I find there's at least one thing that's worth watching. The women's tag match on Smackdown last week was good IMO. I don't know that I'll watch the whole show this Friday, but I'll probably give part of it a watch at least.
This is close to where I'm at as well. I watched the stuff in the 90s almost religiously. At some point, I just started reading the results. It's just not as interesting even though the people wrestling now are probably better athletes.
The ECW Sci Fi show wasn't that bad--if you just accepted it as sort of a show that featured underused (or underpushed) WWE wrestlers. Labeling it as "ECW" was an excuse.
The characters just aren't as interesting. Plus WWE has this annoying match/formula that I find boring. I watched some of AEW and came away sort of impressed. It was wrestling without the BS of the WWE plus high production values.

Don't watch regularly, haven't for years. Had to check out last night's main event after reading about it.
Beyond hillariously bad. Fans own fault for buying tickets imo.
I haven't seen it yet. But I figured it must be pretty bad when the crowd is chanting for a rival promotion. Vince McMahon thought the crowd reaction was funny. That's how out of touch he is.

PM please

TWAT seems underwhelming here and gets my vote.
#789 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 1, Elimination Series Round 1 » 371 weeks ago
Silkworms is definitely the worst one here. Rhiad has that cool funky rhythym/beat.
#790 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rough Mixes Disc 4 » 372 weeks ago
Thyme seemed very epic/movie soundtrack type. I wanted to hear more of it. This album definitely more of the "experimental" type. Can't see casuals liking it at all.
