The Wrestler (2008)

This film blew my fucking mind away. There are multiple reasons for why this happened the way it did…

Reality. I could be wrong, and I’d rather be wrong than actually investigate for the facts. The Wrestler was seemingly filmed with actual people filling in as ‘characters’ (i.e. the clerk at the gas station was a real clerk at that actual gas station etc.) With this angle it felt so incredibly real. It’s obvious to me when Mickey Rourke was straight up joking around with this ‘real life’ people. It felt like 20% of the film was what would normally be taken out of a film. The stuff that wasn’t in the script, the interactions between real people. Fucking Golden.

ABC’s ‘free’ episodes…not worth it.

Get use to this loading screen...

At one point we would admit to ABC’s LOST being a guilty pleasure. At this point in our run with it it is a full on obsession. Take it for what it’s worth…but that show is brilliantly crafted. Don’t think we don’t see the obvious persuasion of emotions. We do. We acknowledge that LOST is formed to play our heart strings perfectly…but here’s the thing, the show is basically a SCI FI with a hint of afternoon soap opera.

But we digress, the fact of the matter is that ABC’s website is in full need of repair and fair. Sure, you can watch all the episodes of LOST on their website…for ‘free’ if you want to get completely fucking frustrated. First of all, there are commercials…that’s not free. Secondly, it’s so badly engineered that you have to restart the website about a million times to get it running correctly. Well, we’ll do this in list form. 

Problems with ABC’s Website

• PROBLEM – The 5th season is incomplete. No doubt it is some marketing scam to make you wait to get the season on DVD, but come on! Not to mention its the last 6 of the series, which means you have to find pirated sites to watch the first of the season. SOLUTION
• PROBLEM – Not only is it the last six of the season, but it skips from episode 13 to 15. Bullshit. It’s like they are asking you to go to websites like OV Guide and find it pirated. SOLUTION
• PROBLEM – The commercial breaks are super cheesy and don’t work half the time. Don’t get us wrong, watching a blank screen for 30 seconds is better than watching some fucking yogurt commercial, but if you’re going to do it…do it right. And no, I don’t want to play some fucking memory game for a 5% credit card reduced rate bullshit. SOLUTION
• PROBLEM – The last commercial break freezes the show and makes you start the whole program over (the one that you have to download from ABC to watch any of their ‘free’ episodes.) So this means you have to watch at least 3 more 30 second ‘commercial breaks’ to get back to the point in froze. BULLSHIT. It’s all a scam anyways. We’d like to see how many spots the sponsor is promised…we can almost guarantee that they were promised one more spot than there are breaks on the show. SOLUTION
• PROBLEM – STOP BEING A BREEDER OF MASS MIND CONTROL ABC.

All and all it’s a great way to watch episodes of LOST on the inter–wait, no it’s not. It’s a pain in the ass. We had a better time watching it in low resolution. The resolution is not worth the hassle. Not at all. ABC’s newish slogan is apparently “Start Here”. Well, we ended it there.

The only thing scarier than the fact that helicopters actually fly, is if they weren’t flying correctly.
