I've been wanting to comment about this but been reluctant because I'm a pretty casual viewer of AEW and I didn't want to say anything if I was missing some important details, but I'm stuck home sick with nothing better to do so let's go for it.
I honestly don't see what the point of doing this was. I think it's been pretty well accepted by most (most, not all) wrestling fans that AEW did the right thing with the All In fallout. Punk was out of line and needed to go. And everybody, including the fans, have moved on from it. So what do they get out of reminding people of it now? Why re-litigate an argument that you were largely accepted as being in the right for? It really does feel petty.

Sounds boring. Give me a Benjamin Franklin: Dinosaur Hunter movie instead.

58. Electric Dreams (1984) 59. Tower of Terror (1997)This is an old Disney TV movie from back in the day used to advertise the (then) new ride at the Disney parks. It was recommended in another thread and I found it on YouTube. Quality is kinda meh so I'm guessing it's a straight VHS rip. For those not familiar, Steve Guttenberg plays a shady journalist and Kirsten Dunst is his teenage niece and they're investigating hauntings at the now abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel where five people mysteriously disappeared in 1939. Ok enough movie, I guess. Kinda dry for my tastes, but it's one of those movies that I can see people who grew up with it would have nostalgia for it. 60. The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2018)This is not a movie that was at all on my radar, but after coming across it on YouTube and seeing the title I just had to check it out. For those not familiar, Sam Elliott plays an American veteran who was apart of a secret mission during World War II to kill Hitler, and then in 1987 he's re-commissioned to hunt down and kill a sick Bigfoot in Canada before he can unleash a plague on the rest of the world. And that description, while completely accurate, is also probably the most misleading description I could give you for the movie. You are probably thinking this to be some cheep, cheesy B-movie with goofy action sequences, too much CGI and bad one-liners. I know I was. It's not. It is a slow, heart-wrenching drama about a PTSD-riddled old soldier doing his duty one last time while dejectedly reminiscing about his past and how his life did not turn out like he hoped. It just happens to include a twenty minute stretch of him gunning down a Bigfoot as well. I'm not saying this is a bad movie, as it is very well made and I can easily see it finding an audience, but I am so not that audience and it is not the movie I was expecting it to be.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} It was kind of funny that Cable wanted them to turn off the music rather than run for their lives. Also weird that he wasn't able to go back earlier to warn them or that he was pulled back to his time. I kinda half wondered if they would retcon this, but based on other posts it seems not.
This was a lot. {Spoiler}I'm kinda wondering if they're somehow gonna use this to explain Cable's appearance in the original Genosha arc all the way back in season one of the original series, which was always pretty incongruous compared to everything we know about Cable and his motivations from his later appearances.

{Spoiler}So I saw Boom Boom showing up when they arrived in Genosha. Anybody catch if she was one of the dead bodies during the big fight? I hope they didn't kill her, I liked the character on X-Men: Evolution.

If this movie turns out to be anything more than two hours of delusional visions all in the mind of an institutionalized Arthur Fleck, I'll be stunned. Not a single second of that trailer has swayed me from this theory. No no no, there is absolutely no way this movie will just be two hours of delusional visions all in the mind of an institutionalized Arthur Fleck. If I know anything about modern movies, I know this, it will be THREE HOURS of delusional visions all in the mind of an institutionalized Arthur Fleck. Three and a half when they release the director's cut on Blu-Ray.

My cable company is listing a new Battle of the Belts on 4/13 directly after Collision. But it also doesn't have any information about this new Battle of the Belts so it's just re-using the description for the first Battle of the Belts and advertising Britt Baker vs. Riho and CODY RHODES DEFENDING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP! For some reason I don't think Cody is showing up in AEW on Saturday to defend his current championship, but if Tony Khan actually managed to pull that off it'll only make the "Who's the Worst Businessman" thread even more one-sided.

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.
