I like pro wrestling.  I think at it's best, it's some of the best writing on tv.  At it's worst, it's pretty bad (which, as a member of a BAD movies forum, makes it even more fun.)
I used to like Wrestling too, a lot.  I kind of lost touch with it when it became more about speaking than wrestling.  However, it was always entertaining and from I watch here and there it still is. 
Dunno if you've ever seen them, but try to find clips online of stuff from Ring of Honor(ROH) and DragonGate USA.  Both are groups with great inring action and very little 'speaking'. 

I don't mind the promos so much in wrestling, but not long 20 minute 'skits'.  Guys like The Rock, Mick Foley and Stone Cold Steve Austin had good 'promos', but lately there's been like, mini-movies.  Get to the in ring stuff.

I've found myself growing quite fond of the smaller companies over WWE and TNA, especially some of the Japanese ones (Dragon Gate in Japan, Osaka Pro Wrestling, New Japan, All Japan, DDT).  I've also grown somewhat fond of the Kaiju Big Battel.   TeddyR

I don't understand the appeal of those Kill Bill movies.  I watch ten minutes, yawn, and change the channel.

I also think Shaun of the Dead is one of the most spectacularly unfunny pieces of crap I've ever seen.

The appeal is the coolness of watching a movie that is dated without being dated, so the viewers would think they are enjoying a "Drive In" "B-Movie" "Grindhouse" flick without actually sitting thru an actual movie of that type. It's also assumed that Tarantino filtered all the good parts and left the boring parts out.

I do agree that Kill Bill was hard to watch [because I'm still thinking this is a moden movie and people are not like this today] although I did enjoy the "coolness" but I dont think Kill Bill will be as timeless as "Rolling Thunder (1977)" or "Thriller (1974)" because Kill Bill is lacking the "Time Capsule" that makes all those old movies so fun to watch.

I'd guess it depends on taste... I like Shaun of the Dead because it tries to make fun of zombie movies (in general) without trying to outsmarting itself (like Scream) therefore the movie is fun and they ended up doing the same stupid things like in a tradition zombie film. Also the British humor works for me...

After the last couple of posts about Kill Bill, I'll say that I think Quentin Tarantino is, in general, a horrible writer, and I have yet to find any of his movies watchable. I've sat through 3 or four of them, and wish desperately I could recover those wasted hours. If you happen to like his movies, fine; I just find his work poorly written and way overhyped.

Tarantino is an ultimate fanboy making movies and I feel is overrated.  His movies have good moments but it doesn't account for the countless minutes of dreck you have to put up with to get to those moments.

I wholeheartedly agree on both counts.  Smile

Overall, I agree.  Although, as overrated as he may be, I have a softspot in my heart for Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.  Everything after is a downhill fall.

Dragon Gate has great action.  The US sister promotion to them has some wonderful matches as well, with semi-annual pay per views for only around $20.  I like certain Japanese wrestlers, but don't follow the promotions on a consistent basis.  Most of the time I look up matches on YouTube of the ones I like from the different groups.

I'm sure someone's mentioned this already, but I really don't give a flying f**k about American Idol, or any [insert nationality] Idol.

I thought the Godfather Part II was the least good of the series. I still really liked it but I think part I and III are better. Most people think Part II is the best part
