The Wolf Of Wall Street (Film)
This was the last DVD I bought and I'd heard of it which meant it must have been hyped up as it's usually only Comic films that enter my orbit. The film dragged for me and to be honest did get boring, I'm not saying it's a bad film like say Never Surrender, which was truly awful, but it certainly didn't live up to expectations. If I was watching this in the cinema I may of walked out.
Shawn Michaels Vs. Mr. Perfect (SummerSlam 1993 PPV)
First wrestling mention in my Non Wrestling Blog this may cause the Rapture!! This was a self hype as it's Perfect Vs. HBK, though it would transpire in retrospect that Perfect was past his best really when compared to his Bret matches, the match itself was poor and if I remember right it had a naff ending possibly DQ or countout.
Watchmen (Film)
This was all public hype as I had never heard of them, it was a graphic novel for those who don't know, and for me the movie itself was outshone by the opening credits which was very good and introduced me to the Bob Dylan song 'The Times They Are-A Changin', part of me thought that maybe it was a lack of knowledge of the characters that hindered my enjoyment but if anything that is better going into a film as then you have nothing to judge the film version against.
Gotham (TV Show)
The fact that Batman himself wouldn't be in it was a plus for me as bar Lego Batman, who does make me laugh, I don't care for Batman himself, however I do love his villains but this show disappointed me overall. Really don't think that the Fish character fits in well. The general consensus is that Penguin is the best and I agree with that, All in all I don't mind missing an episode of Gotham which isn't a positive sign is it. The best way to get my attention is to give us The Riddler in the comics but I can't see that happening with Gotham's E. Nygma.
Will Smith as Deadshot (Movie Casting)
Disappointing in the 'oh man now I'll still go but i'll be annoyed' as I can't stand Will Smith, as an actor this isn't about Will as a person at all. Will has connections to Gotham here w/ Jada and the Suicide Squad film has links to Wolf Of Wall Street through Margot Robbie, what a world we live in.
Channel 4 Not Renewing WWF Contract
In 2000 Channel 4 broadcast the Royal Rumble PPV, but apparently after the Mae Young 'incident' shall we say, Channel 4 bosses there and then decided not to renew the deal which would end in 2001 so I still got to see Backlash 2000, Royal Rumble 2001, Backlash 2001, InVasion and Vengeance 2001 but I had to miss PPVs after that and at some point Sunday Night HeAt was moved to midnight so I'd have to sneak downstairs to watch it. Incidentally they did broadcast Fully Loaded and Armageddon 2000 but I missed them.
The General Perception Of The Spider-Man Films
Now this is just personal thoughts on the films I'm not saying no-one elses opinion matters it's just for me the Spider-Man series, SM 1 - ASM 2, is looked down on and I don't think that's entirely fair. Spider-Man 3 was poor I agree with that but should the reputation of one film drag down an entire series of films? My main gripe with that film, as I believe is most peoples, is Venom. The modern MCU, Iron Man onwards, is held in high regard and whilst it is great that these characters exist in a shared universe that doesn't hide that fact for me that not all of the films have been great and for me Spider Man 2 beats Iron Mans 1 and 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger hands down, that's not to say they were poor but Spider-Man 2 was better for me, though Iron Man 2 was awful. I enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, though ASM2 ending as it did did annoy me, as well, and I wouldn't say Spider-Man 1 was awful by any means.
