Barcelona twatted Munich this month. I knew what you meant.

Sif really needs to be on that Secret Warrior team.

Didn't Austin say something similar about him. When you meet him in 'real' life he is witty and laid back and legitimately cool. When you try and turn him into a generic face what you see is what you got pre-Mania. Let him be who he wants to be and turn up to 11.

Anyone who reads and/or comments on AVClub will almost certainly be considered a hipster by others.

She's read her Freud - the only way to sell Lucky Strike is via the death wish!

I suppose my point is that the most interesting thing about that scene isn't about whether Don did or didn't produce the advert. There's a much wider comment about where advertising, culture, lifestyle etc. Watch the Adam Curtis documentary I posted - the scene feels much more important than Don simply being 'back'.

I didn't read the Coke ad as being Don going back. I felt it was much more cynical and possibly taking inspiration from Adam Curtis' The Century of the Self. Hippies essentially give birth lifestyle and consumerist cultures of the 1970s and 80s. Don never fitted the lifestyles he was trying to sell in the early 60s,

Yep. Me also. I'm keeping up with Lucha Underground, and that's about it. There's too much bad wrestling and too much great other popular culture. The thought of sitting through 3 hours of Raw and 2 hours of Smackdown per week actually scares me.

I'm glad it isn't just me.

If that comment scares you then you should never read Brecht.

Wrestlemania has always been about blending weird bits of pop culture, established wrestlers and new stars. Vince McMahon gets a lot of stick, but that is what made WWE the global entertainment brand it is today. He put Mr T over Roddy Piper and stuck Hogan in the main-events of the first 9 Wrestlemanias.

I'm not sure the book ever politically got its head round the fact that the culture the author and lead character is clearly in love with is directly a product of neo-liberal, postmodern culture that that the book is trying to critique. Unless, of course, there was some underlying criticism that loving pop culture

I am super, super excited about the Cuphead Game due this year. Takes its inspiration from old 1930s cartoons and even utilising hand drawn elements. Like Mickey Mania, but in a slightly more subversive modernist indie style.

In Manchester on a Saturday night people would want to know where she'd been on her hols.

Over in the UK there was a channel 4 documentary about Paige's family and her and her brother's attempt to break into the American scene. Google what her Dad actually looks like, it could very well make you sad.

I kind of get doing a new #1. I wish they could be more consistent with volumes, though.

Arkham City save data broke for me at about 33%. I'm not good at replaying games and, on the few times I do, it's out of a strong desire. I traded it in. I'll probably waiting until this is fixed before playing, then!
