LOVE JONES is excellent and Larenz Tate has like four very different performances in the 90s that make it absurd to me that he didn't become the long-term heavy hitter he should have been
💘 What is the best underseen romance film?
“Underseen” means fewer than 50,000 watches on Letterboxd, so make sure that your picks meet that requirement before showing them some much-needed love.

Really enjoy the Wrestling Media types who are grown adults insisting they just cannot understand that there are people in the world who don't watch wrestling only to celebrate what's most commercially popular. Engagement grift + internet "stan culture," the perfect combination.

this is otherworldy dumb lol. there's not a single person on the entire WWE roster who could step onto an NFL field and do even as well as "Jelly Roll" did in a WWE ring. and it wouldn't be close, either. and I don't care if you pluck the guys who played high level college ball even.

WON Awards are one of those things now Gotten Mad About by a bunch of people who don't need to care. used to be things had their little dork corners and the dorks dorked amongst themselves, and everyone else was free to wear their Hulkamania or Austin 3:16 shirts and not give a fuck, as God intended

I agree that it's incredible that Dave could see by June that the Wrestler of the Year race was pretty clear and then it remained so for the next six months.

apparently there are Persephone bangers on the ROH and I might need to get the ROH again
What a freaking match between these two! Incredible debut showing for Julissa Mexa and Persephone shined bright as always! #ROH

If true:
1. Omega's slightly odd, forced-in mention of Brody's name now seem less odd. It also would make sense why he wasn't on the show at all.
2. This type thing never works out the way a corporation hopes it will. They will have made the "problem," as they see it, far worse.

if you were doing that thing where you judge on someone's entrance body language, which I think is generally horse-nonsense, then you'd think Thekla's about to win da big one for sure

Won't lie and say I'm SUPER STOKED to see FTR vs Bucks again but I do know it'll be *good*. And honestly, it was gonna happen again at some point.
