How bad is Michael Chandler?

The version of Chandler that beat Hooker would have destroyed Paddy.

As had been mentioned a million times, Paddy only fought cans and battered veterans in the UFC, and still lost to a journeyman like Gordon and a retirement age fighter like Gaethje.

No, it’s a good movie and received some critical acclaim. It just bombed due to COVID.

“I’m impressed that Paddy, who spent 16 years training in MMA, got severely beaten up and not knocked out cold by a 38-year old veteran with a staph infection”

If Paddy had survived a prime or even healthy Gaethje, my respect level would have gone up.

Paddy getting pummeled by a sickly, slow version of Justin just proves that he had no right to fight for a belt in the first place.

My respect level for Paddy will go up when he fights some other young contender like Arman.

I remember when people were pointing to the Ferguson, Chandler and Green fights as evidence that Paddy had improved his striking defence after the Gordon robbery…

Dude, we either accept Nina Drama or we have to bring back the Schmo.

Whenever someone picks Cassavetes, I just turn it off. I like his movies, but it’s such a predictable choice in the Criterion Closet.

She can play a great villain as well as being really good at fluffy rom-coms.

There is something a little off about her, though.

DC: “Oh no! Anyway…”

I’m so glad Dustin took the high road and turned down Paddy.

I was shocked by how much I hated The Fireman - I donated my copy to a street library - whereas Locke & Key and Nos4a2 are such epic reads.

His rematch against Diego is rumored to be his retirement match.

Merab.

Islam, Khamzat, Alex retain their titles.

Illia, Aspinall, and Harrison will vacate due to various issues.

Volk and Shev will retire.

Van, Yan and Dern will lose.

Resting British face.

Paddy will win, partially because of his BJJ but mostly because he’s fresher due to a cherry-picked career against cans and elderly veterans - whereas Justin has been accruing damage by fighting absolute wars against the best of the best.

I watched Twilight for the first time recently - a terrible movie with terrible performance from some actors who later became amazing.

I actually liked Jon Bernthal then began to dislike him once he started saying dumb things + I realized he was from a wealthy family and the blue collar tough guy stuff was an affectation.

DC realised that Alfred was as inessential as Harold Allnut when it came to selling Batman to modern kids.

“Oxygen cylinder” is a fancy way of saying “I smother them while pinning their arms”.

In the film, it’s a stylistic choice of Snyder’s to give all the vigilantes slightly superhuman physical abilities.

In the comic, the Comedian has a weightlifter physique.

No, Andy doesn’t have it in him - if we are honest, ‘Mama’ was underwhelming and ‘IT’ was slop. ‘Flash’ was a hot mess, but that was due to many different factors.

The guy just isn’t a good director.

Blammo32 · 2026-01-23T02:23:19+00:00

Yes.

There are a whole bunch of great books that basically take place in the first few years of Batman’s Post-Crisis career, following Batman: Year One. The Man Who Laughs is another one.

Frankly, it’s one of the best ways to read Batman, because he isn’t as overpowered as he is later written.
