The Rager Smells What The Rock is Cooking

By Joelgleo
Ladies and gentlemen, He. Is Back. I honestly can't believe it. I spent all week dreading the Wrestlemania host announcement fearing a major letdown. I have even come to expect that whenever something in WWE is hyped the ending outcome never seems to match the level of the hype.

I can tell you last week when I learned that there was a big announcement that ended up simply being an announcement of an announcement, I turned to those that I watch Raw with and said "The only thing that can justify this amount of hype would be the Return of the Rock." Well WWE, my hat is off to you. This time you really have come through and I couldn't be more ecstatic.

I would like to take a moment and ask all WWE wrestlers to watch the promo that the Rock cut tonight. Get a tape, watch it, memorize it, study it. This my friends is how you cut a promo. In seconds it was as if he had never left. Catchphrases were back and he had the crowd eating out of his hand. He spoke about both The Miz and Michael Cole more effectively than anyone else from the Raw Roster (to compare Cena also cut a promo against Cole earlier this evening) And then most impressive of all, The Rock, with just a few choice words, was able to get the whole crowd to boo Cena the face of the company. I had forgotten just how impressive The Rock is on Mic. Oh how I have missed it.

The question now is what does this mean? Is he back for just tonight and Wrestlemania? Will he have any sort of story? I can say for me, it doesn't matter. I am just happy to have him back even if it only was for tonight. Wherever this is going, I'm looking forward to it in eager anticipation. Tonights final twenty minutes were the best thing thats been on Raw in recent memory and I can't wait to see where it leads.

Tune in tomorrow for "The Rager's" full report on this week's WWE Raw episode.

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is completely m

Gossip Girl 2021 Review (based on one episode)

  It’s been nine years since the last time we’ve heard the famous “XOXO” sign off from Kristen Bell’s voice. Nine years since the high school soap opera full of lying, cheating, rumor filled friends to enemies and enemies to lovers saga has been seen. So it’s time to crank up the reboot machine and bring back Gossip Girl. What does a new Gossip Girl mean in the year 2021? How have things changed? How have they stayed the same? And does the arrival of a new generation of a show that feels as recent as Gossip Girl make anyone else feel this old?  This new version of Gossip Girl takes place in the same continuity as the first one, nine years after the ending of the last series. (Technically four years after the ending of the last series since the final scene is a five year time jump, but I get what they’re saying.) Now we have a new group of elite students going to Constance, with the main cast being made up of seven lifelong friends, with their leader being Julien, the It Girl, of the in
