Chris Hero wrestles for ALS

5th June 2015 by Scott Keith

Chris Hero will be doing a 2 hour gauntlet match thanks to $2000 in donations, and if they hit $2500 he'll do 2.5 hours, so let's all throw money at charity and make him work even harder.  I put $10 in and they're only about $100 short of adding another 30 minutes to his workload that night.

Last Action Hero Redux

5th November 2013 by Scott Keith

One of my favorite topics — why Last Action Hero was such an underrated and fascinating trainwreck of a failure — explored by the AVClub.  I have a ridiculous love-hate relationship with this movie that I'm pretty sure I've talked about before, in that I know how ridiculous and terrible it is most of the way, but it's just such a COOL concept and I'm unable to look away.  Luckily Shane Black went on to make an more unambiguously awesome trainwreck with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, much in the same cliche-busting fourth-wall-wrecking vein.  But with Robert Downey instead of Arnold.

Chris Hero

21st October 2013 by Scott Keith
What the hell is the deal with him, exactly? 
He's just this guy, you know?
Basically HHH doesn't think very much of him or his physique, and creative has nothing for him on the big stage, so there he is on NXT and that's probably where he's gonna stay.  I'm the last person to advocate better living through chemistry for these guys, but that's probably the only way he's gonna win a job at this point.

Dream Super Hero Team

17th January 2013 by Scott Keith
All right Scott, I know you're a fanboy so I figured you and the blog could have some fun with this scenario: you get tagged to write a comic book, not just any book, but the Justice League. and you can add any eight characters of the pre-Flashpoint DCU, but here's a few rules.
 
1. None of the Big Three can be on the team, that's right, no Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman
 
2. they have to have one wild card character
 
3. the leader has to have been a leader of another DCU team
 
4. and one of the members dies at the end of the first arc, but it can't be the wild card character
 
I won't put my squad because I don't want to influence anybody, but it's still a pretty cool concept. go
Those are some pretty arbitrary rules.  
I'd go with Nightwing as leader, with Flash (WALLY WEST), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Donna Troy and I'm not sure what you mean by "wild card" character but I'd throw Ambush Bug on there for additional comic relief because he's convinced that he's related to Blue Beetle.  For the first arc I'd kill Donna Troy because she's come back from worse, and probably replace her with either Power Girl or Martian Manhunter.
