When the movie Rain Man came out, the autism rate was 1 in 2500.

When given the choice between perverted stuff and wokester ugliness, I'm ALWAYS picking the former.

At least perverts appreciate beauty.

That was his very first movie role. He took whatever he could get.

Not defending his words, just saying that's what new actors do.

I saw this happen in a live-action movie once.

In the movie "Children of a Lesser God," Marlee Matlin--who is deaf and portrays a deaf character--is often shown in the movie speaking sign language with her co-star, William Hurt.

The sign language has nothing to do with the movie. It's about Matlin and Hurt's private life.

At the time the movie was made, they were having an affair.

And the wordplay is impenetrable for almost every word in this series. It's why it took so long for this to get an official release here--the translation notes would take up the entire screen, like a bad fansub! Think that infamous Code Geass "checkmate" one.

Fool can't even tell I said that because so much time had passed that the topic had scrolled so far down the page that no one else was reading it but us.

Do you know what killing the mood is?

Demoralization.

Save this comment. Come back in a year, maybe 16 months. You will see.

Thanks for showing your true colors, though.

You can't go crying "Demoralization!" and then go around DEMORALIZING, YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE.

Salmon never saw Pat's Twitter feed.

Sadly, it's set to protected as I type this, but he's had some wonderful insights over the years.

But he kept his views off Wheel FOR A REASON. He knew people watched to get away from the stresses of the real world for 30 minutes--something every show needs to take to heart.

It wasn't a slow change at all.

Day 1 of Drew Carey's tenure in 2007, they changed the ENTIRE graphics package and sound library. All the iconic cues, gone.

Drew is not a bad host, but no one could measure up to Bob.

All that being said, I have neither forgotten nor forgiven the Planned Parenthood episode. Haven't seen a TPIR episode since.

They stopped doing that around 1989, and the pacing improved massively.

God, I'm going to miss Pat. I've been a Wheel fan for well over 30 years, and even applied to be on the show last year. I wasn't chosen, but I'm going to keep trying, no matter who is hosting.

When I saw it for the first time last year, those still shots were a riveting change of pace from modern American ADHD fare.

One reason I fell in love with Eva.

You could probably call me a fanboy now, since I've been soaking up info on EvaGeeks' wiki.

Two of my childhood favorites died in crashes of private aircraft: singer John Denver, and game show host Peter Tomarken.

I still wonder if those were really accidents.

And then they accuse you of being a pedophile if you like any woman who's not a dead-egger.

Or if you like a show with fictional teenage fictional girls in its fiction. Recently happened to me when I said how I recently saw Evangelion and absolutely adored it.

A term that projects youthful energy is "juvenile?"

And I don't mean that jackass from India who keeps spraying his shit here.

I mean 18 or so is what anyone would call young and beautiful.

They're all pedophiles who fuck children anyway, and project by telling you that anyone who doesn't ONLY have the hots for dead-eggers is a pedophile. So who cares what they think?

"I now pronounce you partners, you may kiss each other" does NOT sound romantic.

And that's the point. Removal of romance and beauty.

Fun fact: Chris Jericho is not only a Trump supporter, but has donated thousands of dollars to the man.

So has Mark Calaway, AKA The Undertaker.

I can't narrow it down to four, but I will say this.

The reason I don't put the old-timer legends like Georg Hackenschmidt, Jim Londos, Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thesz, El Santo, Mildred Burke and the like on mine comes down to one simple reason:

There's not enough footage.

I can't judge ability and the power to work a crowd based solely on second-hand accounts. I have to see how they wrestled in the moment, in context. This is also why I don't put Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Pettit or similar old-time greats on my basketball Mount Rushmore, but will put Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. More of their games were televised.

By contrast, we have boatloads of video to show how much of a master Ric Flair was, or Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada are now.

All the time spent talking to me is better served looking it up yourself.

Fight's over, son.
