Yep. He was supposedly involved in the illegal cigarette trade in Canada and that led to him getting shot by the local mafia.

A lot of the guys who have died relatively young were the ones who debuted during the mid-70s to the early/mid-80s it looks like (Chris Benoit started in 85, Eddie Guerrero in 87). A lot of guys who started before them are still around. Even the first poster boy for steroid abuse in pro wrestling, Billy Graham, is…

That or seconds after Robin's head pops out of the window, Barney is right there with her looking at Ted quizzically.

With action done by Kuo Chui/Phillip Kwok of Venoms fame. He's also the guy that gets the giant blade in the side of his face. Same year he did the choreography and acted in John Woo's Hard-Boiled.

I didn't watch much TV or anything but this past Friday I witnessed my first ever pro wrestling death match live (two actually) when I went to see Big Japan Pro Wrestling in Hakata: http://www.bjw.co.jp/event_…
BJW is well-known for their death matches, which is a way for them to distinguish themselves from the other…

Considering that Donnie Yen is the Monkey King I'm not surprised they didn't make the character quite as villainous.

Yeah, I was disappointed by this too. Perhaps they should have chopped up the film into two parts.
Although Shu Qi gets the majority of the action (and "comedy") scenes her character (not an actual Journey to the West one) only served one purpose and that sort of really irked me.
I wonder how it will compare to the…

Does anywhere say where they filmed it? The story linked somewhere in this thread just pointed out that it was a closed set.
Since the kids don't need Ted (or rather Mr. Radnor) to react to because of the Bob Saget voice-over, if the ending was something along the lines of "And now kids, your mother's side of the…

Or BOTH Robin and Barney die in a totally legendary way.

I was going to mention that but I couldn't remember where it happened. Too bad it was in a "What If…"
One of the reason I liked the GotG and the group that sort of preceded it (the heroes who banded together to stop the Wave and later the Phalanx) was that even in the MU they were all seen as mostly also-rans.

A million times yes. And all the while, the main MU was caught up in the Civil War.

Oh good. I was looking for somewhere to talk about how I just found out that Jim Peterik was also the guy that wrote and sang Vehicle for The Ides of March. Thanks for getting your litigate on members of Survivor.

Bryan S. has a good selection.
Personal favorites are:
Pretty much any of the Chor Yuen/Ti Lung adaptions of Gu Long's books. These include Clans of Intrigue, Legend of the Bat, The Sentimental Swordsman films. The only thing is that the plots can get out of control sometimes.
Pursuit of Vengeance has the best Shaw…

There's this boy I like

Thanks to you, I just realized that Klemperer's father was conductor Otto Klemperer.

"I'm tellin' ya, a simple blindfold isn't enough to avoid Game of Thrones spoilers."

But where else am I going to learn how to recreate the spaceship from the blueprints hidden in da Vinci's work that took Nazi archaeologists to the moon to find the secret illuminati who are behind every political murder ever?

Anyone else here read Bill Bruford's autobiography? Thoughts? It was definitely not your standard rock star memoir.

I liked Duff's book the most because he seems smarter and more grounded than the average rock star (or at least anyone coming out of that particular music scene) but still went through the rock star cliches. And he does go into his time in the pre-grunge Seattle scene so that part is interesting too.
