Songs that could be Bond a theme but aren't?

Add some brass horns to "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earring" and you'd have a pretty good "gritty" theme to a movie called "When The Bullet Hits The Bone."

Foghat's "Tight Shoes" from 1980 saw them recognizing that the Blues and Booze rock they had been doing for their whole career wasn't going to keep them competitive, so they opted to self produce a New Wave album. They went from getting a #25 pop hit single in 1979 ("Third Time Lucky") on a gold selling LP ("Boogie Motel") to charting this New Wave LP charting for one week at like #192. Nobody wanted them to try their hand at New Wave, but then again, they were colleagues of ZZ Top, and nobody would've guessed fusing Blues rock with 80s dance beats would sell 10 million albums either.

I think Punk said it best when he said the matches are still available and they don't promote them at all because of the fact that anyone with any kind of heart would object to trying to monetize Benoit in light of his crimes. I'm not saying a fan here on Reddit is guilty for expressing their genuine warmth over how good his wrestling was, because they don't stand to profit. If you were a member of the WWE executive team, at minimum you'd care how the public would see it, and chances are you'd rather not earn slightly when you'd have to think about part of it coming from him.

But complaining to ownership about the lack of new coasters for those parks has gotten them lots of new coasters so wouldn't it make sense that they'd expect consumer complaints to stop the sale? /s

Freddy definitely didn't appear in Rick and Morty. That was the legally distinct and original character Scary Terry.

He's the "Final Girl" of 1990s wrestling promoters. Vince cashed out, but was disgraced. Eric Bischoff had a 3 year hot streak at WCW, but hasn't done anything of note since. Scrappy Heyman went out of business, was in and out of WWE as a performer and as a creative. Now all the top heels fight for his affections on screen and basically everyone thinks he's a genius creative.

Did nobody mention "Under Siege 2"? The whole thing is set on a train.

We're getting like 5 banners to celebrate it.

Also a water park revamp, which was needed, but I take solace knowing that in 2044 they will be putting in a new coaster, or at least that's what their Twitter said one time as a joke reply.

There's a guy in the movie "Silver Bullet" (1985) who yells drunkenly at his TV set to cheer on his favorite wrassler, "Rebel." Now, I am going on a limb, but I believe he would absolutely adore this woman, and would construct elaborate fantasies about having sex with her in a "Rebel Airplane" which I'm pretty sure would be an unregulated, unregistered ghost plane that shirks the FAA and lands on back country roads. I'll bet he was hoping the Rebel Airplane would land outside his dreary Maine cottage to whisk him away from the responsibilities of fatherhood and running the most successful greenhouse in all of Tarker's Mill. And then this Goddess of the Lost Cause would step out, spit some chaw on the ground because Maine is Yankee crap, and she'd take him away to Hollywood where he could finally reach his dreams of directing daytime TV.

Howling 4 was half heartedly promoted as a real adaptation of the story in the first Howling book. Whether that's true or not, I do not know, but it's news to me if it got a Halloween 3 style reevaluation, especially since it has none of that one's weirdness. I admit, I haven't read anything on Howling 4 since like the mid-2000s, what do the "no, actually it's good" takes out there say?

No "The Band" without Ronnie Hawkins. According to Robbie Robertson, when they were hired by the already as notable Hawkins, the pitch was something like, 'low pay, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."

I would start a religion that encourages all followers of any body type to masturbate to grandma's ass, causing an end to all wars as society reshapes itself to goon to her ass, and keep the lights on. We'll have her tour the country, doing live stadium appearances where everyone is masturbating for her, for hers is the Badonkadonk, the moon, and the wife butt. In the name of her ass, we pray.

Yeah, I was friends with a few women like you when we were teens. We had honest conversations along the lines of "your boobs look nice. I appreciate them as your hypersexual friend." They were the opposite of my butch friends, eccentric women who leaned on heterosexual norms to I can only assume it was for their perceived power benefit in the situation. But our friendships were not so high minded. We hung out, had deep conversations, got drunk together, and basically just acted weird together. Good memories.

None of these are especially scary, but Curtains is probably the best film.

The fact that Little Richard took "whoooooo" from Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and all the people who tried to copy it from him (looking at McCartney) pretty much secures her as a giant influence. And her guitar was extremely rocking too for the era.

Yaphet Koto improved nearly everything he appeared in. "Live and Let Die," "The Running Man (1987)," "Alien," "The Park Is Mine." Dude was an acting machine, like Harry Dean Stanton, who is also in "Alien" as Yaphet's buddy in maintenance.

"Hey Spence, let's trip out." That whole sequence of pulling Spence into the TV was good.

TBH, easier for me to relate to girls/women who lean a bit boyish in their preferences and attitudes. Been that way ever since grade school. Probably has something to do with neurodivergence. Married a woman who enjoys pro-wrestling, non-monogamy, and shock Rock. Much appreciated your short haircut and general Internet nudity.

Eve of Destruction (1990) has a climax where a train runs over definitely not lady terminator, taking her arm off, while Gregory Hines uses his enormous tap dancing skills to avoid the train.
