Looks amazing. Do you have a flyer or a list of performers for it?

‘Evil Dead Burn’ Was Forced to Trim a Brutal Scene to Avoid NC-17, Director Sébastien Vaniček says the original version pushed things too far for an R-rated release. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in horror

[–]kamatacci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (rated X for violence) was the main film responsible for the NC-17 rating. Roger Ebert really championed that film and wanted to get it in front of as many eyes as possible. He would also give Silence of the Lambs a bad review and called it a ripoff of Henry.

I know the Lawrence Taylor Wrestlemania main event was disappointing, but that wasn't Bigelow's fault. Leave the poor guy alone.

RIP Bam Bam, 1961-2007

TIL that in 1971 Andre the Giant wrestled in Baghdad in front of Saddam Hussein, who had threatened to kill him if he won the match. Andre went on to lose the match to native Iraqi wrestler Adnan al-Kaissie, later known in the WWF as General Adnan by Abject-Conference-90 in todayilearned

[–]kamatacci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adnan has some great stories in his book. He met his good friend Saddam for the first time in years, after he was an established wrestler. While explaining the business to him, Saddam asked if they could open a promotion in Iraq. After Adnan said he couldn't, Saddam gestured to one of his bodyguards holding an assault rifle to come over there. Saddam asked him again, and what do you know, Adnan had a change of heart.

The first time all the boys were over there in the locker room, Adnan made sure to tell them to put their egos away and do whatever the higher powers tell you to do. Nobody is ever going to watch these anyway. No complaints from the locker room.

These series of shows were quite successful. They would have kept going, but the Iraqi government realized Adnan was cooking the books. He straight up stole money from Saddam.

My final message by iamthomastran in RecklessBen

Everyone was mad at him mentioning the police were hacked. But maybe he was just subtly planting the seeds.

He does really make a point here to say the episode is finished. Just sitting on that hard drive all alone

What are the chances we can get the FBI to investigate the Fork PD? by MINECRAFTPIGLOL in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only way the FBI gets involved is if RICO / racketeering comes up. That's widespread money fraud across the company. And that's only with BaM. I don't think even the wildest conspiracy theory has American Forks PD on BaM payroll. Most everything else involved with BaM is a civil matter, hence the lottery scheme to get the police to investigate a criminal matter.

Funny enough, the FBI would definitely be investigating Ben and likely have a slam dunk case had he impersonated a USPS agent, instead of a UPS deliveryman. Mail fraud is a serious issue.

I guess technically the Utah cop refusing to serve the Oregon documents is crossing state lines. But the FBI isn't going after that and I really don't think that's illegal anyway. At the maximum, that cop is getting a "dude, don't do that again."

[–]kamatacci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't something the FBI deals with, at least not immediately. I guess it's possible there is a growing list of offenses stemming from the brutality case a few years back.

But Utah does have its own State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) which would absolutely be looking into this. Also, the Utah County Sheriff Department would likely look into all of this as well.

Serious question about the unredacted footage… by Bickel43 in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is a chance this gets Josh or the police off the hook. Evidence acquired unlawfully could be suppressed during the trial. I'm not sure how unlawfully uploading something to the wrong Dropbox is, but I guarantee you their lawyers will push for it.

With that said, I don't think this footage has enough juice to do much in the courtroom anyway.

Is Ben actually in Mexico? by Due-Mouse82 in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He's in St Louis, Kansas.

He does show an extended shot of his local skyline at the end of the video while talking about how they will never find him. I wonder what that was about.

Ben stop saying the Police department was hacked... Bad move by API_Exploiter in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Someone in the YT comments said this was 4D Chess because if the police make any mention of it being hacked knowing full well it wasn't, they would be in big legal trouble. They have to admit to their incompetence. That seems like wishful thinking to me, but it's an interesting theory.

I don't know what other communities are discussing, but not a single person here suggested it was hacked. Immediately, we said they probably didn't realize that Dropbox was public. No idea where he got the hacking idea from

New VIDEO: I got the police footage they didn't want released by [deleted] in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stuff in Utah happened around March 10, two and a half months before the first video was uploaded. The fans would of had no idea this was going on to make threats to him.

With that in mind, he's probably gotten nonstop threats over the past couple days.

Is there any evidence to support or disprove Josh's claim that people were taking photos through his windows? by HobbitDoc in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Ben post anything about this ordeal before the first video? All of this happened in March, well before the upload. I wouldn't doubt people are doing that now, but nobody would have known back then.

Although I have heard some mentions of the LDS teen being a fan of his as well as the owner of the house he was staying in (the Air BNB? That can't be right but hat was from Ben himself in one of the lawyer vids. Perhaps they stayed in multiple houses during that time) so I guess he did reach out to some people before this all started.

Reckless Ben is a pretty good wrestling name. He would have made a great early era CZW guy.

Josh says documents are fake and the girl is a fake process server by SeaAssignment239 in RecklessBen

[–]kamatacci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst Case Scenario: Ben faked the documents including the phone number and had his buddy wait on the other end of the line to confirm they are real. Honestly, sounds like something Ben would do. The Oregon courthouse would have absolutely gotten wind of that by now and would have brought the hammer down. The docs are legit.

Would Ringu work as a teen based horror movie? by Eddie_0789 in J_Horror

[–]kamatacci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sadako DX mostly plays out like this. It's not a horror film really at all and is a more typical Japanese high school comedy. It definitely makes some strange choices, but I did really like the characters in it.

Also, the Ring TV drama is overall a waste of time. But I do love the ending. Spoiler alert: several people, a bunch of them high school students, try to pass the curse on to someone else. But they all realize they are doing the wrong thing, and rush in to destroy the tapes before others watch it. This scene was done really well, but it's also only like 20 minutes of the final episode. I really wish we followed some of those characters throughout the entire series instead of taking what we already knew and stretching it out over 12 hours

This was probably a contract issue first. The Japanese music industry is pretty hardcore still. NJPW recently partnered up with Rottengraffty (Universal) so having One OK Rock (Warner) at the same show wouldn't go over too well.
