I know Jim Cornette is not a popular guy among a lot of people around here, and I'm not gonna defend him, he's said a lot of stupid and offensive things. But one thing he's said that I absolutely believe is this little story about Heyman and ECW's finances. Cornette claims that if he ran SMW exactly the same way as he did in the same towns and buildings with the same talents and pay-offs, only did not charge a single cent for tickets or merchandise or whatnot, he still would not have lost as much money running SMW as Paul Heyman did running ECW. So for all the bad decisions that Tony Khan might've made, I don't see how you can put him at that level.

So the previous post's mention of porn reminded me of another movie I stumbled across awhile back - 2009's Deep in the Valley.
Initially described to me as "Pleasantville, but for porn", two buddies (Brendan Hines and a pre-Parks and Recreation CHRIS PRATT!?!?) somehow get transported into a porno universe, run by Shooter McGavin, where they get into a wacky adventure and learn valuable life lessons in the process. The craziest thing about it is that, despite the concept, there's no nudity in it (at least not in the version I saw). In fact the sexual situations in the movie in general are pretty tame, all things considered. The whole movie feels like someone was trying to win a bet on if they could genuinely make a PG rated porn movie.

Well, since it looks like the quake didn't cause much if anything in the way of injuries, property damage or general disruption of everyday life, I'm gonna post this -

I definitely felt my apartment in South Brooklyn shaking. Wasn't sure if there was an earthquake or something really wrong with the washing machine.

I will just say the same thing about Sheamus that I said about CM Punk when the WWE signed him - both companies have a huge amount of young talent and they should be focusing on that, not chasing after guys in their 40's on the tail end of their careers.

The old Saturday Morning Cartoons preview specials used to be gold mines for this.
Here's one with ALF and the Saved by the Bell kids meeting up -
And here's one with Punky Brewster, Rudy Huxtable, all of Kidd Video and Spider-Man (Mr. T also put in an appearance in the special but only in animated form) -

56. Drop Dead Fred (1991) 57. Project: ALF (1996) 58. Electric Dreams (1984)Another cult 80's classic that, for some reason, YouTube has been recommending for me lately. For those not familiar, San Francisco architect Miles' computer somehow gains sentience after he spills champagne over it. Miles then uses said computer to compose some songs to win over neighbor girl Madeline. The computer gets jealous and a weird love triangle develops. There are a lot of logic gaps in this movie, but once you get past that, you have a surprisingly charming and sweet film. It also has some fun cinematography with surprisingly inventive uses of music, computer graphics and animation. If you like 80's movies then I really recommend this.

Any guesses on who this might be? Are we finally getting the long awaited return of Bull Dempsey?

56. Drop Dead Fred (1991) 57. Project: ALF (1996)This television movie was an attempt to try to revive the ALF brand and get a new show going. Unfortunately there wasn't really much of a taste for the return of ALF by the general public in 1996. It's an ok enough TV movie. ALF was funny, it was neat seeing all the cameos from all the old sitcom actors, but forgettable over-all.

53. The Three Musketeers (1993)54. Santo vs. Frankenstein's Daughter (1972) 55. Stay Tuned (1992) 56. Drop Dead Fred (1991)Another movie I haven't thought about since I was a kid but stumbled across on YouTube. For those not familiar, as adult Elizabeth's life self-destructs around her, she's suddenly re-visited by her childhood imaginary friend, Drop Dead Fred, intent on helping her through his power of sociopathic chaos. So this movie has something of a bad rap to it, and don't get me wrong, it certainly has its issues, but at the same time I also don't feel it's without its charms. Phoebe Cates is certainly trying her darndest to get her character to work. It's biggest problem is that it's trying to be the next Beetlejuice, but Rik Mayall is no Michael Keaton. In general it's solid but kinda uncomfortable to watch at times.

I hope the wrestling media has more of a spine to ask about these releases with TK than they had when it came time to ask Triple H about the McMahon SA allegations post-Rumble. The media will most definitely ask TK about these releases more than they asked HHH about the McMahon SA lawsuit. Not because the media has a spine, but because the media will circle the wagons to try to paint AEW as the worst wrestling company ever and WWE as heaven on earth. I think the media is more likely to press Tony Khan on this simply because Khan is much more likely to give them meaningful answers when pressed, whereas if they pushed Triple H too hard he would just as likely shut the press conference down and deny the reporters access in the future.

51. Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015)52. Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell (2018) 53. The Three Musketeers (1993)54. Santo vs. Frankenstein's Daughter (1972) 55. Stay Tuned (1992)So I saw this as a kid and hadn't watched it since. Then, a few years ago, it popped back up in my head and I got the urge to check it out again, but I couldn't find it anywhere. No streaming service, no physical copy on Netflix, nothing. I think I finally found it on Dailymotion or something. Anyways, fast forward to now and it's on YouTube, and with another quiet day at work, I'm giving it another watch. For those not familiar, John Ritter plays a couch potato Dad who gets his family trapped in a demonic satellite dish and has to run the gauntlet of all 666 channels to save their souls. Honestly, a really fun and underrated movie. It has a quirky feel to it very similar to something like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

So it's April Fools Day again, and for Linkara that means returning to his roots as a lamp reviewer - {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}He's imitating... somebody? And reviewing the 1972 Spanish-Italian horror movie The Murder Mansion (originally La Mansion de La Niebla).
And look, I don't mind Linkara continuing to do the lamp joke, I just wish he'd get a new lamp for it.

This is the type of movie that makes me miss Netflix. I'm curious about it but really don't want to see it in theaters. Previously I'd just wait for the DVD to arrive, but that's not an option anymore. Now I have to play the waiting game and see what streaming service it shows up on.
