I like Tiffany and I definitely think she was the right choice to give the title too. That said, she also feels like someone who's gonna become another one of the WWE's "Forever Champion" projects and we're gonna be sitting here complaining about she's still the champion this time next year with no prospects in sight on when or who she might lose it to.

50. Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989) 51. The Ghastly Love of Johnny X (2012) 52. The Concorde... Airport '79 (1979)This was recommended to me by someone on the internet and I found it on YouTube. For those not familiar, the "Airport" movies were a series of dramatic air travel related disaster movies from the 1970's. They're probably better remembered nowadays for inspiring the 80's "Airplane" parody movies that gave us the legendary "don't call me Shirley" meme. This was the fourth and final "Airport" movie though, and it has a reputation for being kinda... bonkers, especially when compared to its predecessors. Does it live up to this reputation? Eh, kinda. There are scenes in this that are supposed to be tense, but they come off as comedy. And there are scenes that are supposed to be genuine comedy relief that feel more like self-parody. But honestly, those scenes aren't as many or as often as needed to save an otherwise boring movie with too many characters, too many sub-plots, and who's appeal seems to be centered wholly on what celebrities of the day they could get to appear. Even those celebrity appearances lose their appeal when we look back on them in 2023, forty years after their relevance. If you're looking for a funny "Airport" movie, then just watch Airplane.

And the end result? {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}likely introducing Kamala’s MCU powers in the most ridiculous attempt at synergy to date. I dunno, Black Adam's face turning into Dwayne's is up there... Eh, this is nothing new. They've been, on and off, modeling Black Adam's appearance after The Rock's for like twenty years now. It's the whole reason why Rock was the big fantasy casting for the guy.

If they don't want fans to turn on Cody then here's an idea - only have him hold the title for a couple of months and if someone else popular comes along have him drop it to them. The WWE is too obsessed with this whole "one guy" philosophy who needs to carry the company. The business has long moved past this type of booking and, honestly, modern fans attention spans just aren't designed for it anymore. They have at least a dozen people they can count on to main event PLE's at any moment, they don't need to have one person be the centerpiece they constantly fall back on for years on end with everybody else merely being there to prop him up.

I don't know, my apartment is pretty crowded right now. I just don't know where I'd keep it.

MITB or SummerSlam has to be Roman/Solo vs. the USO’s now. Somehow with Solo getting pissed along the way. Maybe Sami will introduce him to ska punk I would do that at Money in the Bank. Then at SummerSlam do the Roman vs. Cody rematch and advertise it as, for the first time in years, Roman has to fight this battle alone with no Bloodline to back him up.

This feels like one of those threads that occasionally pops up in the off-topic board where someone says "dude, The Simpsons is getting good again, for realsies!". It may be true, it probably isn't, but I've long since ceased caring.

I think so. It looks like they're going for his Exiles look. Actually, have the Exiles appeared in any Marvel animation yet? Considering all the multiverse hype Marvel's had lately them making an appearance in this show would be a pretty cool tie-in. Also wouldn't mind a Mjnari appearance.

49. Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) 50. Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989) 51. The Ghastly Love of Johnny X (2012)Another Creature Features movie. And an unusual one for them as it was produced in the 21st century. This is a low-budget black and white movie made as a tribute to old 50's sci-fi and greaser films. For those not familiar, Johnny X is an alien who's exiled to Earth after trying to use a "resurrection suit" to take over his home planet. On Earth he and his followers take up the guise of a greaser gang and try to track down Johnny's ex-girlfriend, Bliss, who's stolen the suit, and this is all tied into some washed-up rockstar named Mickey O'Flynn. The first half of the movie is pretty fun and shows promise, but it just kinda falls apart in the second half, with things just getting sillier and sillier and the characters just becoming more and more unlikable.

49. Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) 50. Journey to the Center of the Earth (1989)Found it on Tubi! A few weeks back I watched Alien from L.A., a movie with something of a mixed reputation. Did you know it had a sequel?!?! Well sorta anyway. This was actually in production well before Alien from L.A. but got shut down pretty quickly without much to show for it. The original director, Rusty Lemorande, claims he was only responsible for the first eight minutes of it. Eventually it was given to Albert Pyun to finish, without much in the way of financing to get that demand done. He brought in the whole Atlantis concept to tie it into his previous movie, Alien from L.A., as well as actors and sets from it, including a split-second, non-speaking cameo from Kathy Ireland, which I'm almost positive was taken from stock footage. Unfortunately the story of how this movie got made is infinitely more interesting then the story the movie itself is telling. Disjointed plot, sub-plots that go nowhere, characters awkwardly disappearing, tonally inconsistent, non-existent pacing, what few special effects there are are pretty bad. Honestly the movie doesn't even have an ending, it just ends. And the padding. Oh God the padding. Just to get it up to its modest eighty minute runtime right before the credits roll the movie just randomly plays a three minute instrumental music video that I think is just made up of random unused footage and bloopers from the rest of the movie. And all that isn't even mentioning the random dream sequences that occur about a third of the way through featuring characters that aren't seen anywhere else in the movie. I can't think of a movie that just had so many core issues with it. Say what you will about the quality of Alien from L.A. but at least it felt like a coherent movie. This was just a trainwreck. So I highly recommend it!

People seem to be picking a vanity power over one that could most likely keep you safe. Safety > Vanity. What are you doing in your life that you need either flight or invisibility to stay safe?

In hockey, a hat trick is scoring 3 goals in a single game. In baseball, it's striking out 3 times in a single game. "Hat Trick" has in general become slang for doing anything in three's nowadays.

This show reappears occasionally to remind me that it wasn’t, in fact, a fever dream. Recall Pop Kids UK would show it seemingly 24/7. Hilariously catchy theme song. Seems to be common among Sonic cartoons.

Just throwing a theory out there for the second part… {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}…so the whole Spider Society is supposed to make sure someone dies in Miles’ universe because it’s supposed to happen…but what if there’s three other Spideys out there in the multiverse to back him up that have proven that it’s possible to save those meant to die? {Spoiler}{Spoiler}I will accept this only if those three other Spider-Men are Toei Spider-Man, Electric Company Spider-Man and the Spider-Man from that episode of Phineas & Ferb.

47. Sonic the Hedgehog (1996) 48. Black Adam (2022) 49. Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)Latest arrival from Netflix. Did you know there are a lot of movies called "Journey to the Center of the Earth"? And that a surprising amount of them were released in 2008? Well this is the Brendan Fraser one, which automatically makes it the greatest one. Unfortunately this isn't Fraser's best work. I mean, he's great as always, and the movie does have its moments, but over-all it's a pretty weak and oddly outdated feeling adventure. Now to track down the 1989 version.

This is one of the many movies I had in the "Saved" section of my Netflix queue that Netflix quietly removed over the last week after the announced they were discontinuing their DVD by mail service.

“Due to budget cuts we are down to one singular Mythbuster… the crash dummy, because we don’t have to pay it” Dude, show some respect. The crash test dummy's name is Buster.
