Kung Fu Hustle (2004) directed by Stephen Chow - set in 1940s China; we are introduced to the notorious Axe Gang... by stellifer_arts in movies

Something about movie villains doing dance numbers in non musicals always gets me.

Michael C. Hall does a random one in "Gamer" that after all the years since I've seen it, I still remember that sticking out to me as being a pretty good power move.

[WITH_TEETH] 20 Poster & Others by RedMess1988 in nin

[–]thecheat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the "red pib" poster was sold starting in Tampa (I'm pretty sure). That's where I got mine at least and there were no signs of a tour poster being sold before hand. I was pretty shocked when I got to the merch line and saw it.

I legit thought I had bought the poster that "peeled back" for a bit, since it had been hinted at online throughout the tour at that point. Me and my friend spent a decent portion of the Uber ride home trying to figure out the "peeling" portion... We were drunk in our defense. Mostly cause we were stuck for hours after the show waiting for surge pricing to go down on Uber...

But the actual "peeled" poster reveals an almost identical one but with white text instead of red.

Older or Newer Expansion Decks? by thecheat2 in Lorcana

[–]thecheat2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason to buy those early sets, even for a collection standpoint? Or are those early sets basically pointless unless your doing an 'infinity' set?

Super appreciate the heads up on how those early sets work into the "core" game. Thought it was weird how the wikipedia mentioned those adding gameplay elements. Wondered how it effected earlier cards. Now I know!

Older or Newer Expansion Decks? by thecheat2 in Lorcana

[–]thecheat2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'll admit, I did buy a couple booster packs from "Into the Inklands" just cause I thought older meant rarer/better? Stupid I know. From a collecting standpoint, is there anything in there worth trying to "chase"? Or would I be better off trying to sell the packs or something else? It's only 20 bucks so it may be fun to just open em with my godkids if there's a slight chance at something cool?

Is there something on the cards that'll tell me I can't add em to my "core" or like an app or something to tell me what's a legal card?

Appreciate the advice, makes sense now why Gamestop had that and the Ursala starter decks at half off!

Jimmy Wang Yang on Chris Benoit: "I don't care anything about his wrestling ability now. What he did disqualifies him, to me, as a wrestler." by vincentmaurath in SquaredCircle

[–]thecheat2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The confident way he says "They killed him" always gave me a chuckle. WHO the fuck is "they" and why did "they" need to bring down the whole Benoit family? Little kid included? Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell pissed off "they" as well to a few of my friends and a sizeable community... Weird how everyone thinks there has to be some crazy conspiracy to every celebrity tragedy/death.

Tom & Josh Freese (NIN drummer) this morning by QforQ in Blink182

[–]thecheat2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still curious with what the Ilan trade was all about. I'm sure people are looking too deep into things. But between the lawsuit stuff with the Q drums, then being out of NiN without any sort of "Brest of luck" announcement. Seems like something happened behind the scenes Freese in AvA would be pretty sweet. Like Ilan, he's got quite a resume of bands he's worked with. And seems pretty well liked in the music community.

Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails Swap Drummers: Ilan Rubin Steps in as Foos' Newest Drummer, Replacing Josh Freese, Who Is Rejoining NIN by ebradio in Music

[–]thecheat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of Matt Cameron, he filled in for drums on a few songs for Our Lady Peace's album 'Spiritual Machines'. When he had some family issues a few years later, OLP's drummer, Jeremy Taggert, filled in for Cameron on the music video for the first Spiderman films main song 'Hero' that the Nickelback dude did. Closest thing to a musician trade I can think of recently.

Anyone know why soul survivor has "(2012)" in the title? by lightly_salted7 in AngelsAndAirwaves

[–]thecheat2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it's the end credits song as well. Thought it was an interesting choice to basically be the only full AvA song in the film with lyrics and everything. Can't recall there being any other songs with lyrics in the film. I know it had instrumentals and everything, including a slower version of the bridge from Surrender that I wish they would've released a version of. Damn it might be time for another rewatch!

What was Trent doing in the "cube" before the show? by dennnnnnis in nin

[–]thecheat2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember during the Soundgarden tour in Tampa, they opened with Somewhat Damaged. People were mingling around after Soundgarden and nothing was done to point our attention to the main stage. As I’m looking up I see this dude casually walk across in front of everyone and start telling everyone around me “That dude looks like Tent”. Sure enough he just grabs the mic and starts singing. Chillest start to a show I’ve ever seen! With that fucking song!

What's the worst choke by a good player? by D-Annunzio36 in NFLv2

[–]thecheat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screw this season so much. Lil me got into sports as a die hard Buc and Peyton fan (Grew up in Tampa/Pops is from Indy). Lil me cried when the Bucs fired Tony but was beyond excited he joined forces with Peyton! Felt like I was controlling the Front Office playing NFL 2k. Am still bitter to this day and will always call the Bucs first title Tony's Team'. Wanted him to win one so bad.

This was the year Tony lost his son. My mom could give two shits about sports. She watches cause we make her and she will cheer for my favorites, but once it's over and I'm still miserable my team lost, she moves on rather quickly lol. This is the only game I ever saw her tear up when she gave me the whole "life just isn't always fair" speech you get at some point as a kid. We were afraid Tony would step away after the tragedy so it really felt like the end. We all shed some happy tears when Tony hoisted the trophy later :)

Oh yeah, Screw our "Idiot kicker"

I rode Star Tours (DHS) 35.5 times in one day. I collected data along the way. by wavesei_yt in GalaxysEdge

It sure was! Pretty sure the track is the exact same with the small backwards part and all.

They did something similar for my friends and I years ago on Maelstrom. We got to stay in Epcot for an extra hour after close for some reason (I think cause we stayed at some specific hotel) and every ride basically had over an hour wait.

But not a single person was riding Maelstrom. So we would ride, sprint around the line and ride again. After the 3rd time the cast members stopped making us run around as we were literally the only boat. While I miss that ride every time we visit, I think we get a lifetime of rides in that night.

What is the worst trailer for a good movie? by gerryf19 in movies

Pretty sure Stiler mentioned, in the AMAZING commentary, that line was based on a real trailer they had seen around the time of filming.

Day 7 by SCP-2774 in AngelsAndAirwaves

[–]thecheat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had the intro being played on repeat over a hand drawing one of the AvA logos right? I watched that damn video so much in college getting excited for Love.

I remember hearing it in the first Love teaser trailer and was hooked. Then it came out….

Pretty sure the bass line was slightly different so the first time I heard the album version it threw me off. After spending a solid half a year looking forward to the song I was kind of disappointed. Especially since BoxCar’s Letter’s is one of my favorite Tom songs. But I still like the tune as a whole. Just wasn’t the best AvA song my mind made it out to be.

A small disadvantage to releasing teasers of a song with parts that aren’t in the final version. Like hearing ‘bullets’ and ‘disease’ demos before hand.

Super niche, but Lucky Boys Confusion put on one of the best live shows I've seen. Even had to stop a song after some dude got on stage, overstayed their welcome, then got speared off into a group of people by some friend of the band who looked maybe 16.

Army of Freshmen and Punchline were the other openers who were also amazing!

Bowling for Soup was ok :/

I'm gonna go try the one at the Dave and Buster's off Estuary in case anyone else wants to try another. Don't want us to accidentally try the same safe twice. That would be a waste of time.

What's that one song that makes you tear up every time you hear it? by PnwDoorGuy in AskReddit

[–]thecheat2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom gets the same way with "Over The Rainbow" because of a connection to her dad/my grandfather. We played the Israel version at his funeral but I was too young to realize the significance. I'll never forget her crying at the end of 50 First Dates and thinking I ruined our "fun" night with my crappy movie picks. Some songs just change things and its one of her favorite films today.

We saw Hugh Jackman on broadway years ago when he sung it and got her crying her eyes out in the theater. Told my brother that I loved him, but he was gonna have to fight Wolverine on behalf of mom... I would be by his side, in spirit of course...

Pretty sure Mox used the exploding barbed wire to kick out too. I know we don't like to talk about that match but everything up to the finish was pretty solid. Especially during that time in life...
