I was crying like a baby by the end. I’ve said it before that the world became a more dark and cynical place when John Candy died, and this documentary reinforced my belief.

I’m not ready for Cena to retire, and I’m sure as fuck not ready for AJ to retire. That was the Match of the Year right there, no matter what Uncle Dave will tell you.

Misleading poster.

Clearly depicts more than one man, and none of them are running.

MTV2 was incredible from 2000 to 2008. Just banger video after banger video, live performances and full set lists for Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Muse, etc. Everything from Weezer to The Dillinger Escape Plan.

Discovered so many awesome bands and genres that shaped my music tastes.

These AI wrestling videos that are littering social media need to fucking do one. How much environmental damage was done so some cunt could make a video of Chris Benoit debuting for AEW? Fucking ghouls.

There’s a moment in Ozzy: No Escape from Now where they’re rehearsing ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’ for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Jelly Roll isn’t there to rehearse the vocals, so they’re just doing the instrumental, and Ozzy, with Jack Black sitting next to him, starts singing, and I got real weepy.

You know things are bad for Kevin Costner when he has to turn to Saudi Arabia to fund the sequels to Horizon, and even they're not fully willing to provide the amounts of money he's seeking.

Tron: Ares is going to be a complete blink-and-you-miss-it film. I guarantee in a year from now people will be saying, ‘They made a third Tron movie?’

Robin Williams didn’t want Disney using his unused Genie outtakes to the point he put it in his will, so he DEFINITELY wouldn’t want his likeness used like this.

I’m going to put my head above the parapet and say that it’s impressive how aggressively mediocre the new Taylor Swift album is, and that it’s borderline offensive that she’s tried to do Sabrina Carpenter when lacking the charisma and wit to pull it off.
