10 Movies You've (Supposedly) Never Heard Of Starring Pro-Wrestlers

http://www.ifc.com/fix/2013/04/10-movies-youve-never-heard-of-starring-pro-wrestlers

For those who can’t be bothered to click the link, the list is as follows

Hell Comes To Frogtown, starring Roddy Piper
Santa With Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan
Santa’s Slay, starring Bill Goldberg
Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, starring Jesse “The Body” Ventura
See No Evil, starring Kane (oh come on!)
Knucklehead, starring The Big Show
The Marine, starring John Cena
The Condemned, starring Steve Austin
Bounty Hunters, starring Trish Stratus
Ready To Rumble, starring David Arquette, WCW World Champion

This list is immediately lying because I’ve heard of at least nine of these movies. Hell, four of them are recent WWE Studio films and barely qualify as “never heard of” films. If anything, this list should be listed as “10 Movies Starring Pro Wrestlers That Nobody Saw.” Then, the list would be more accurate.

JDF’s Tone-Deaf Comments on Rick Medina Manslaughter Case

He strikes again…

A twit from Jason Douchebag Frank regarding the Rick Medina thing (see earlier post);

Come on man you have to straighten up this is bad for the Power Ranger franchise. JDF

Someone has died… for real… not fantasy, not tv… someone has lost their life… and all you can think about is the franchise… what a classless act from a grade-a douchbag.

And then, in a pitiful attempt at damage control, you post the following on your Facebook;

ATTN: To all the people who are saying ” Bad for the Brand” has NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY!!! I said bad for the brand meaning KIDS….. One ranger Falls we all do.. Ive worked to hard to be a ranger and be a Positive role model!! Its NOT bout me it about being a super Hero.. Im sorry Self defense?? If I had to protect myself it would of been a fist NOT a sword.. Unless the guy had a Gun or a weapon.. I can’t say what happen but I will say this… GROW up and get off my page… Just not gonna sit back and waste my time with Keyboard warriors!!!
-JDF-

If this is not about you, then why are you MAKING IT ABOUT YOU, YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT? There are other Ranger actors who have chimed in – either taking either a neutral stance or showing their support – but never making it about them? Because it isn’t about THEM. It isn’t about the BRAND. And it sure as hell isn’t about YOU.

Grow up? You’re telling the mature folks out there to grow up? You? You, who like to issue worthless challenges to people who wouldn’t give two shits about your overblown and overexaggerated Z-grade cult status? You, who hold grudges with a former castmate who has publicly said he had no beef with you? You, who once had a role in a MTV program about college kids having sex in their dorm room… and that was before you got brought back for Dino Thunder. You want to talk about being a role model? A role model that tells kids that martial arts is not about looking for fights and then you go ahead and do just that?

If that’s your idea of a role model, then Skylar Deleon was a former Power Ranger.

Unlike the mindless braindead followers that shower you with endless praise on your equally worthless Facebook page and elsewhere, I’m not drinking the JDF Kool-Aid. I can separate the man from the character he used to play; something you seem to have great difficulty in doing. Your attitudes and your words bring shame to the franchise you claim to represent. You are a cancer to that brand. I believed this last year… maybe a little further than that… but after this, whatever sliver of respect that I might have had for what you’ve done in the franchise – and believe me, that much is a stretch – you’ve pretty much killed that.

You are not a role model, Mr. Frank. You, sir, are a douchebag and an outright fraud.

Pathetic.

Pinky Gets To Goal, Pinky Gets To Wear Pinky Tights… So…

Congrats to Amy Jo Johnson for achieving her indiegogo goal of $75,000 a few short hours ago… and with 20 days to spare! Also, as a result of this achievement, she’ll be donning pink tights on Friday. As long as she doesn’t dye her hair pink like some other old timer did, everything will be fine. If you can spare a few bucks, consider giving some to The Space Between.

For the record, I opted for the Power Rangers photobook.

An Abortion Of A Doctor Who Episode… Okay, That Was Lame.

So Twitter is having a ball with the recent episode of Doctor Who, which apparently revolves around the decision of giving the moon an abortion. It is as ridiculous as it sounds. And yet people are talking about the abortion allegory this episode is apparently shooting out. You can follow that stuff here, but leave me out of it.

Monster Madness Coming Soon… Wait For That Instead.

http://cinemassacre.com/2014/09/23/monster-madness-2014-promo/

After suffering (yes, suffering) through two hours of dreck, I’m anxiously looking forward to the latest edition of Monster Madness madness where James Rolfe looks at a bunch of horror stuff. Forget the ego-trip vanity movie; THIS is something worth waiting for.

Yeah, I’m not doing a good job of keeping it subtle, am I?

Jay Dee Eff Turned Away From Canadian Border

According to this Rangercrew thread with no source, Jay Dee Eff was stopped at the Canadian Border and thus can’t make it to some fan expo in Toronto. I have to question the validity of this claim, but if that’s the case, then I guess there’s faith to be had with the people protecting our borders. Tough luck to the folks looking forward to meeting him, but you’re not really missing much.

Jason Douchebag Frank At It Again…

Not dignifying this with the usual PR tag, especially in regards to the publicity whore known as Jason Douchebag Frank. In any case, here’s a recent (now deleted) Facebook comment he posted regarding Austin St. John and a video showing of one his site admins some self-defense moves.

What Jason Dumb Fuck here is referring to is a ten-second snippet of video in which Austin St. John was showing some self-defense techniques to one of his admins, but my understanding is that the clip was taken out of context to make him look good (‘cuz he’s keepin’ it real, yo), rather than show the whole video about of his detailing on what a dirty fighter would do. You know, someone who just wants to beat people up without any regard for things like honor or the martial arts or anything of the sort.

Here’s the entire video in question, posted last month, in which he demonstrates to one of the admins of his FB fanpage, that, if you have long hair, there are some ways, with proper training, that you can get out of it.

You want to talk about people who haven’t changed, Judas Frank? How about you look in the mirror and see yourself for the egomaniacal douchebag that you truly are, the kind of person who will take anything someone says out of context and twist it so that you can make them look bad, all under the pretense of a true martial artist. Stop using Jesus as a shield to continue your blasphemous actions and be a real man. Move on with your life. Do better things. Be better. Take the high road for once in your life. Clearly, he has. As did your other castmates. Why can’t you?

To quote a character you once played, sir, NOT EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE REVOLVES AROUND YOU.

New Wonder Woman… Meh…

Apparently, this is a real thing. A promotional image of Gal Gadot decked out in what is supposed to be a new Wonder Woman costume in that upcoming Batman movie also featuring Superman, in which she seems to play a rather prominent role in the war against primary colors.

Is it wrong for me to say that I’ve seen women and costumes featured in superheroine fetish films and porn parodies that pull off the Wonder Woman look better than what I’m seeing here? Poor girl looks like she might fall apart picking up a pebble or something.

And people wonder why we never got a live-action Wonder Woman movie.

AVGN Movie Trailer #2 is out…

The picture pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?

I’m not gonna link it. It’s on YouTube somewhere. I’m sure you’ll find it. You’ll probably like it… which means you probably won’t like what I’m writing here.

You know… my expectations weren’t exactly high when the movie was announced, especially when it would revolve around E.T. for Atari 2600 and the whole landfill thing (that was discovered and excavated in real life, by the way). And when the first trailer for this thing hit, my initial reaction was that it looked decent on a technical level, but I still wasn’t sold on the story being told… or the acting, for that matter… but I’ll reserve final judgment on the finished product.

But after watching this second trailer… how do I put this delicately as to not fray any weak-minded fans of that particular franchise?
