Watching NJPW New Year Dash. Probably my least favorite NJPW show of the year, but it's wrestling and I don't wanna miss it.
Wrestle Kingdom was awesome though.

Get excited for whatever you want. Everyone likes different things for different reasons. They also dislike things for different reasons too.
I said that to say that I don't understand how people are still hyped for Marvel films. They haven't been good in years. Same with Star Wars.

I'll most likely never watch WWE again, but I'm so happy for AEW, NJPW, NOAH (even with the WWE connection), and the indies. Hooray for alternatives!
There's so much wrestling out there. You're doing yourself a disservice by sticking to one thing. Expand your horizons.

AEW Dynamite was fun, but I was so checked out the entire time. Just not in the right headspace tonight.
Maybe I'll rewatch tomorrow if my brain feels better.

I'm sorry, but JR just... He doesn't have it anymore. He left a legacy on wrestling that'll never be touched.
However, he's needs to hang up the hat. I'm happy he made the jump to AEW in the beginning and provided some great calls.

It's Wednesday. You know what that means.
I never knew what Brodie Lee's reasoning behind the "It's _______" tweets, but now it just means another edition of AEW Dynamite is here.
Looking forward to it.

I slept very little and woke up thinking about Lawrence of Arabia for some weird reason. So I put it on. Nothing says "a light movie in the morning" like a 4 hour epic.
It looks so good in 4K. One of the best transfers I've ever seen.

I finally have all of my Blu rays/4Ks in one place. Now I just need to organize them by boutique label, then alphabetically. The non-boutique releases will just be alphabetized.
This has been accumulated over the last 10 or so years. Hoping to get back to regular movie viewing soon.

The Washington DC area needs an AEW PPV. The first Dynamite was here, and it filled Capital One Arena. I'm sure a big PPV could do the same.
Also, another NJPW show would be nice.

The Bond films are the ultimate comfort movies for me. Seen all of them countless times. This game is gonna be off the chain!
In #007FirstLight, the combat experience is dynamic, reactionary, and filled with opportunities to improvise your next move.

AEW Dynamite/Collision last night was really good. A hot crowd, great matches, fun surprises, and we have a 4 way for the title at World's End.

For the first time in a while, I'm subbed to Wrestle Universe and NJPW World at the same time. Watching the WTL Final right now. Super stoked for NOAH: The New Year and Wrestle Kingdom.
I'm caught up with NOAH, so I'm gonna pick up where I left off with NJPW tonight and binge everything I missed.

The only other club in wrestling with more members than the "Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club" is the "Mohammed bin Salman Kiss My Ass Club".
Well, maybe the Don Callis Family...

Obligatory "Fuck Jon Schaffer", but Horror Show is one of the best metal albums ever recorded. Matt Barlow is in rare form here. I think it's the best a vocalist has sounded on a metal album ever.
I see a Iced Earth reunion with Barlow in the future, and that kinda sucks.

I don't watch WWE anymore, but I hope John Cena has a happy retirement. I remember watching him debut on Smackdown against Kurt Angle back in '02.
What a career. I'm glad he's going out on his own terms.

I love Joe, but I love Hanger more. Plus, Hook just isn't where it's at. No charisma whatsoever and he's not very good in the ring.
I love AEW, but that wasn't the call.
Swerve coming back and the crowd's reaction proves he's a star. I will look forward to the potential Swerve/Hanger tag team.

Had a friend describe CM Punk as “a guy who should’ve gotten therapy 35 years ago, but didn’t, and has spent every day since making it everyone else’s problem.”
That's dead on. It's okay if you like CM Punk as a character, but Phil Brooks is a great actor by convincing people he's a good person.

#Gundam fans, does anyone know of any plans for Sunrise to allow another company to distribute Gundam Blu Rays in the US since RightStuf folded into Crunchyroll and they discontinued printing the Blu rays?
I would love to continue my collection.

My brother claims Ernest P. Worrell is a "cosmic" or "eldritch" force due to his impenetrable plot armor and feats beyond human comprehension. He defies edged weapons and bullets. He gains the favor of multiple mythical beings, and who can forget his indescribable unseen neighbor, Vern.
