It’s not up there with the likes of 20 and 30 but I’ve always loved the end of 13. The Undertaker wins the title and holds up the belt, points to the fans and tells them that “this is for you”. It was great because this was still in the Deadman gimmick where Taker didn’t show much emotion, he was still a “monster”. He’d had a pretty tough previous year with Mankind making him seem vulnerable and then Paul Bearer betrayed him. He didn’t really have anyone he could trust but there was someone who never turned their back on him and that was the fans. It was simple but great storytelling and with the Kane storyline about to start, as he had shown some genuine emotion before it started, it gave the angle more heart. Well at least someone liked the worst selling mania of all time Loving the ending means loving the show? Honestly, I don’t think 13 is that abysmal. Sid/Taker isn’t a classic but it’s not awful, the 6 man brawl is a clusterf*** but it’s a damn fun clusterf***, the undercard matches I’ll accept aren’t really matches worthy of being at Mania but none of them are offensive, just forgettable. And of course there’s the epic Bret/Austin match which elevates the entire event. I think it’s a better show than 11, 12, 14, 15 and even 16, certainly better than its buyrate for sure.

Haven’t seen Wonka yet but the Tim Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is absolutely an adaptation of the book and not in any way a remake of the 1971 film. It’s a lot more like the book and Depp’s version of Wonka is very different to Wilder’s. There are still some people who say the 2005 film harms the legacy of the first film. I don’t agree with that and whilst the 1971 film will always be my favourite of the (then) two adaptations, I think there is room for both and the latter doesn’t piss on my childhood like some claimed it did.

Said it before, I’ll say it again : If you remove your shirt and celebrate directly in front of the opposition fans, then it should be a booking. If you do it and celebrate with your own fans, then it shouldn’t be.

Does Bob Orton still wrestle? If so, he’d never be cleared by WWE because of Hepatitis.

Several Simpsons quotes :
“There’s your answer, fish bulb” Normally after my wife or I ask a question about something. “Your theories are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter” Normally after some swivel-eyed loon is talking bollocks. “Yeah, think about it” Normally after one of us lets out a particularly loud fart. “I think it must have been that bean I had for dinner” See above. “So I notice your home smells of faeces” Again, a fart joke or if one of us has just dropped the kids off at the pool.
A few from The Thick of It
“How are the maintenance payments going on your bastard?” When someone with a love child is on TV “You always have such a pained expression. Do you take it up the chutney?” When someone always looks miserable. “f*** you all up the wrong-un. Ta ta!” When we’re angry at a group of people.
There’s also an episode of One Foot in the Grave where Victor is talking in his sleep. It’s mostly jibberish but the one word you can clearly hear him say is “Pastry”. So any time we’re watching a show and someone says “pastry”, I have to pretend to be Victor talking in his sleep. This is particularly joyous when it’s Pastry Week in The Great British Bake-Off and they say the word at least fifty times.
And any time someone asks me a question that I wouldn’t know the answer to (like “guess who I bumped into today?”) I steal a line from Men Behaving Badly and answer “the actor Christopher Timothy?”
And I have been known to quote a line from the 1991 film Toy Soldiers. There’s a scene when the boys are ringing a dial-a-wank line and speaking to some woman who is discussing her body and what she is going to do to herself for their pleasure/amusement. The Dean happens to click on the line just in time to hear the woman say “my nipples are dark red”..
One day I’ll grow up.

One of the matches of the season taking place at Dean Court. It’s the rearranged match from earlier in the season that was abandoned when Lockyer had a heart attack. Luton were winning 0-3 at half-time, irs now 4-3 to Bournemouth with seconds left.

Did they cut to the studio before the dog shat or pissed on Matt Damon’s star? I think the dog's leg was up so as to look like it was peeing on Damon's star. Kimmel and Damon are friends and Kimmel tends to make him a butt of a lot of jokes. Oh I’m well aware (and a fan) of their “rivalry”. Annoyed that they cut to the studio here before we got to see it.

Bout damn time Nolan got one. Should have won for Dark Knight, but he wasn't nominated. And honestly, should have won for Dunkirk with how much tension that movie had. Even if he was nominated, Danny Boyle would have won it that year.

Tina Turner should not have got the last spot there. Ehh…she was probably the biggest star on there. I get that she isn’t known for acting so that makes it weirder…but she was a total icon. I’d say Harry Belafonte was the biggest icon there.

Tina Turner should not have got the last spot there. Glenda Jackson? Possibly, it should have ended on an Actor or Director, not a musician who was in a couple of films.

Best one since It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp? Falling Slowly for me. It also gave us one of the most joyous speeches ever.

If everyone gets standing ovations, then they’re not special anymore.
