I remember watching those aeons ago and hoping he’d become a good director one day. Wonder how his Munsters movie was?

For any other director, it'd be definitely their worst film; for Rob it may merely be bottom 3 (El Superbeasto and 31). This is definitely still not a compliment

It’s wild Uncle Howdy went from being a Captain to just a fat giggling uncle. Linda Blair’s death must have been hard. Sad to see the old legends trotted out and thrown off poo poo like that.

I think The Lords of Salem is Rob Zombie's best film. After that it seems like he just gave up and made some of his worst poo poo like 31, Three From Hell, and The Munsters.

It will never not amuse me that for Wyatt's final big match with Cena, he gets tired of the bullshit and just Shun Goku Satsus him entirely out of the federation.

That should be his Ultimate Attack, done coincidentally to wrestlers at the end of contracts or approaching retirement. It was a great way to establish Wyatt's own personal use of the dark side powers akin to Undertaker occasionally choke slamming people to the Outer Darkness if they crossed the line. There's a lot of potential in Wyatt as an inheritor of The Dark Side alongside Undertaker, Muta, and Christmas Creature. They could have endorsed Mtn Dew Black some other kind of way. They didn't just have to ruin Wyatt's career, the drink isn't even that good.

I went to see Infinity Pool last night and the masks in that movie are one billion times cooler than the Howdy ones. Brandon Cronenberg is coming for his father's legacy so hard you'd think his name was Dominick.

Bray Wyatt seems like a guy who wants to be a writer/director but has to be a wrestler because wrestling is the only field of scripted fiction with a low-enough bar for what constitutes "creativity"

They need to bring back WWE studios. Making absolutely dire horror movies like see no evil is what bray was born to do.

It'd be a better world if Bray had taken up the guitar instead of following his dad into wrestling. I bet his spooky metal band would actually be pretty good. Or maybe they'd suck hilariously, but the live shows would be fun.

The live shows would be awful because Bray would spend 10 minutes between each song explaining the LORE and rambling.

Hey just a reminder we're not even at the worst part of the Bray stuff yet.

When they trademarked the name Uncle Howdy they also trademarked 'Uncle Harper' and while I get wanting to do a tribute to your deceased friend (and Bray just genuinely seems like he's taken Brodie's death hard and is still trying to handle it), I can't help but think that the Uncle Harper reveal is going to be some of the worst Bray stuff yet.

I was trying to figure out why people are so down on the meat of both Royal Rumbles because to my eye they weren't any different from the majority of Rumbles past (lots of walking from corner to corner and brawling, occasional half-hearted elimination attempt, etc). Rewatching this year's Men's and one from about a decade ago I noticed what the difference is: the camera cuts and focus during entrances is abominable. Instead of focusing on near-eliminations or in-ring action the camera is typically focused on the long rear end entrances of nothing or the gaudy AR effects.

Yikesaroo! It’s weird as I almost want to like his stuff but it’s always so poorly made in a million different ways.

That was about the last film I watched of his that I wasn’t completely disappointed. Still say HoTC and Rejects had decent ideas and so so execution but saved by the cast just working their asses off. The cast wasn’t enough in anything else. 31 I wanted to like but it was just profoundly d tier but not even in an entertaining way.

Ooooo I’ve been curious about it. Mia Goth is quickly becoming someone I look out for. X and Pearl were both really good. I’m listening to Chelsea Wolf sing “Oui Oui Marie” from the X soundtrack right this very second. Brandon Cronenberg becoming another multi generational gem of a director would make me happy. Panos Cosmatos is still one of my favourites and I can imagine growing up in the Cronenberg house has got to make someone even more nutty. So strong film? 5 second review?

Mia is unquestionably the standout of the movie and it is sick and goopy in all the ways I like. A lot of my friends are waiting for the unrated cut but I would recommend going to see this in a theatre and letting it wash over you and then going to see the unrated a second time. It loving rocks and is basically 'Hahaha SICKOS: The Movie'. If any of this sounds interesting, run don't walk.

The women's rumble was better than the mens. The mens had ten minutes that were worthwhile and 75 minutes of entrances and people standing in the corner of the ring. The women's had a bit of zip to it, and the winner did some fighting over its full hour.

The woman’s rumble was booked exactly the same way as the mens rumble. The endings were just changed. The structures were exactly the same though.

Compare Bray to like original Taker. His gimmick was "undead wrestler controlled by Paul Bearer" which is a single sentence. Bray has all this stupid lore and even if you do know it, Uncle Howdy has no character or even clear motivation.

It may not be considered part of his lore but all the QR codes and flashes of his logo onscreen during the shows and Alexa’s matches was exhausting both by the effort to figure out the clues but also the gushing praise heaped upon it.

Bray is just so exhausting. Wrestling doesn’t have to be so convoluted.

I enjoyed the men's match anytime Gunther squared up against someone because it was always like "oh poo poo" since Gunther has extreme end boss energy.

I know some people are kind of saying Rhea wasn't involved much, but she had her nose broken or something in the first like 5 minutes, then her gear was like always on the verge of coming loose, then she kept taking botches and stiff shots. Poor woman had a rough match.
