Netflix Canada gets Power Rangers… some of it.

So a couple months ago, I signed up to Netflix and for the most part, I like what I see… however, I was a tad disappointed that there was no sign of Power Rangers on the Canadian side of things, since Netflix in the US has most, if not all, of the seasons on their side… Power Rangers on Netflix is the only reason why I bothered with the service to begin with… but at the very least, I’m getting some use from it. For example, they have the theatrical versions of the first and sixth Star Trek feature films, thus eliminating any need or urge to get the recent DVD compilations which contain these things. So I’m getting some use out of Netflix…

Then I fire up my new Western Digital TV Live Streaming device and enter Netflix and what do I find? A nice dose of Power Rangers… not all eighteen seasons, but the classic stuff; all of Mighty Morphin, the Alien Rangers storyarc, and all of Zeo. They also put the recent Samurai season, along with the three specials… which is good, since I now have the means to watch Samurai.

So yeah… thanks, Netflix Canada.

199 vs 40

Interesting premise they got going on there… the entirety of Super Sentai and the entirety of Kamen Riders in one film? Not quite sure how they’re going to handle such a large cast of characters, but I can see why this might enticing to some folks.

Just remember, kids. Regardless of how good or how shitty it was in your mind, only one thing can be said with absolute truth…

 Power Rangers did it first.

From First Female IC Champion To Club Stripper…

And then she wonders why WWE and TNA are flat out ignoring her right now… still, as long as she enjoys doing this sort of thing, what does it matter?

Have You Seen This Man?

From Brodus Clay’s Twitter…

UPDATE: They found him on Planet Funk… best thing that could have happened to him, quite honestly. He looks happy too and got some sweet moves. Good boy, Brodus.

(2024 Update: And then he went bye-bye to appear on FOX and have a way to long reign as NWA Champion. Maybe he should have stayed missing, after all…)

Oh dear… Lita arrested

I guess that the depression of witnessing your former boyfriend running over your cardboard cutout with his car finally got to her. At least her mugshot isn’t as bad as Matt’s. Oh well…

(2024 Update: Fuck off. I’m not doing another Go Directly To Jail card for Lita. The mugshot link that still works will have to suffice.)

Chris Benoit Biopic To Be Filmed 2012

Source Article: http://www.wrestlenewz.com/wrestling/wwe-news/chris-benoit-biopic-to-be-filmed-in-2012/

So, if you can’t be bothered to read the article linked above, basically this film company, SRG Films, is gearing up to produce a biopic on Chris Benoit, the former WWE world champion whose career and legacy was forever tarnished by the Benoit murder-suicide thing that made the headlines in 2007 and put the entire wrestling industry under one gigantic microscope. One interesting note about this biopic, set to start shooting in the fall of 2012 for a 2013 release, is actually the company’s first film… yeah, that’s a great way to start up a new portfolio.

In all seriousness, though, I’m somewhat at a loss for words.

Nothing can be said about what happened that hasn’t already been said at this point. I’m not even sure (or convinced, for that matter) that this will even be brought up again, but if it does, it should be an interesting look at one of the more polarizing figures in professional wrestling history… and even more interesting how, if at all, WWE would react to such a film being made, considering all their efforts to ostensibly remove all mention of Chris Benoit from their history banks. Regardless, not quite sure how to think about this other than to say, “Let’s wait and see what happens.”

Vintage Cinemassacre Film From 1993 is BETTER than 2009-2011 AVGN.

From 1993, watch a very young James Rolfe fight against a toy monster. Much more entertaining and better produced than the last couple years worth of AVGN episodes… Yes, I truly believe that.
