The Rager - Royal Rumble 2011 Predictions

Image
Welcome my little Ragers to IBA's first Pay Per View prediction madness. I got together with fellow Awesomite, Joel, and made our predictions to the matches that WWE has listed on the card for tonight. Of course, WWE has been known in the past to throw in matches at the last minute especially when the card is so bare, much like this one. However, this might meen that more time will be allotted for the bigger 40 man version of the Royal Rumble match, which is more than fine by me. WWE Championship Match The Miz (c) vs. Randy Orton Dr. Chris - So I see Miz winning tonight by pulling some sort of hijinks and barely escaping that way someone else can win the championship at Elimination Chamber. I don't think Miz is ready for a Wrestlemania top card draw just yet but he's certainly getting there, maybe next year. However, I don't think WWE is ready to slow Miz down just yet. Winner - The Miz Joel - The Royal Rumble is also known as the start of the road to Wrestlemania...

WTF?

I can't decide if this is super awesome or super terrifying. Perhaps if the Daleks weren't shouting their catch-phrase of genocide and abject subjugation in contrast to adorable children? I mean, do these Daleks even speak or was that just for dramatic effects? Because I would find genocidal shouting to be a bit disconcerting on my street and around small children. If there wasn't any sound it would be okay. I'd totally want that if I was a kid (who was familiar with Doctor Who). I do like the theme music they use in this commercial. It reminds me of the Craig Ferguson tribute. And you all know my ridiculous love for that.

Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats!

Who loved Thundercats? I did as I'm sure you probably did. Its been forever since I last saw the Thundercats on some Saturday morning from long ago. I've been meaning forever, to go ahead and buy the DVDs to relive my childhood but I haven't found the time now. All I remember was watching that show, thinking how cool it was and that awesome intro theme song. That awesome awesome song. This awesome song Anyway there have long been floating rumors of a live action movie and while Transformers and other 80s cartoons have made a successful transition to the big screen (a financial one if not a critical one) No solid progress has ever been made on the Thundercats front. Maybe robot-turning-into-cars aliens sounds better in a Hollywood pitch than looks-just-like-people-but-very-clearly-has-some-sort-of-cat-DNA aliens does. But what this means it turns out is that Cartoon Network is picking up the property for a new Thundercats cartoon. Today revealed the first official picture fr...

The Rager - Raw Thoughts 1/24/11

Image
Welcome to everybody's favorite weekly...erm....semi-weekly....ugh...very weakly random thoughts of WWE's Monday Night RAW. 1. I think its interesting that they chose to start off Raw with a Smackdown wrestler. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Edge seems less legit on Raw, it just doesn't fit. 2. Was it just me or did anybody else sense any sexual tension between Edge and the GM laptop? There was just the awkward moment when the email went off and Edge had his "crazy eyes." Which reminds me, I miss the automated voice for the laptop but I understand Michael Cole would lose a lot of his heat if he's not the "voice" of the GM. 3. Speaking of awkward moments, it was weird to see the Nexus face off against the newly formed Corre. The Corre seems to be trying to become the face version of the Nexus and something about it annoys me, they don't really have a reason to exist other than the fact that they're Nexus rejects. And I c...

IT. IS. ALIVE!!! (Spoiler Alert)

MAUL'S ALIVE! MAUL'S ALIVE! MAUL'S ALIVE! Hooooly crap! I just finished watching the last episode of Clone Wars and, canonically, Darth Maul is still alive! I have nooooo idea how. But I cannot tell you how freaking excited I am about this! I am even more excited about this than I was about the possibility of Ahsoka turning bad. Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! I just need them to get to this storyline within this season! I wanna see me some Maul action! We got to see Savage be a badass and we got to see Dooku really show off his saber skills but nothing tops that last image of Maul's face in Mother Talzin's seeing orb. hoo! It gave me chills! In unrealted news, I watched a movie last night that I think you nerds would appreciate. It's called Ink . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071804/ It was released in '09. It's about dreams and the battle between those that make good dreams, the Storytellers, and nightmares, the Incubi. It is pretty low budget and the edi...

Wonder Woman Lipstick Will Be Mine!

Image
You know who I love? Wonder Woman. You know what else I love? MAC cosmetics. You know what I'm stupidly excited about? MAC's upcoming line of Wonder Woman products. There's more info and plenty of pictures over at Hot Beauty Health . I'm hoping to pick up MAC's signature Russian Red lipstick in it's adorable red, blue, and gold packaging at the very least. My favorite name choice by far though, is that they saw fit to name one of the mascara's Themyscira. Awesome. I'm really glad to see this kind of thing be popular. MAC's done a couple of collaboration lines in the past, Barbie and Hello Kitty, but Wonder Woman is a nice change of pace and I hope it brings to light more girl comic book fans.

Sci-Fi Shows I like that stream on Netflix

I was going through Nexflix's sci-fi/fantasy television show streaming today and thought I'd go and write up a list of shows I like and have seen, that other people may like. That and it's kinda fun to try to condense a whole series into a few short words. I'm sure some will disagree with the brief descriptions I've made. If it helps most of these shows are more light-hearted than deep brooding dramas (with the exceptions of Angel , bits of Buffy , bits of Farscape , and season 3 of Torchwood ). List of Netflix streaming shows worth checking out: For the time-travel fan: Doctor Who For the Captain Jack Harkness/sexy fan: Torchwood For the military vs evil aliens fan: Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis For the escaped prisoners running from corrupt, intergalactic law, etc./puppet fan: Farscape For the supernatural girl-power and metaphor for life in the 90s fan: Buffy the Vampire Slayer For the supernatural moody vampire detective/Greek tragedy fan: Angel For the...
