You Again: The Characters Are Not the Only Ones Who Are Bitter

As a 30 year-old when "You Again" was released, I could not help but find it tough to stomach movies about weddings. Let it be known that it is not a chick flick thing because "The Hangover" is a feature that I am a detractor of.

It may have just been an age thing for me since the mad cap comedies like "Wedding Crashers" and "American Wedding", two features whose release dates sandwiched the loss of my virginity, were enjoyable. Early/mid twenties, society was not expecting anything of me in terms of settling down.

If we ignore Morton, Illinois's expectations of its children, this Kristin Bell feature is a bit of screwball nonsense. The difference from the two predecessors in the focus on a women's perspectives. Features from the aughts were based around mature themes. "Bridesmaids" is still a year away, so we were not overly accepting of girls behaving badly yet. Thus, "You Again" did not offer anything to draw me in. Its PG-rating did not help.

This was a flick Mom wanted company to view, and I do not turn down free popcorn. I am not saying that is wise because most things still have a price to pay.

The Disgruntled's $200 Wrestling War and Its Current Champions

 *Blog post was started on September 22, 2021.

It is a good thing that I never shut up, at least for the sake of my blogs. I would be in trouble if computers ever gained sentience. The only thing that I seemingly communicate with would probably tell me to shut the hell up. Ironic that it has a Chris Jericho background.

If I can deal with the tedium of optimizing the appearance of NinetyForChill, so can the keyboard and mouse. Of course, stubbornness is considered by many to be one of my dominating traits.

Being in a world without cable (A little hacking and its actually more of an inconvenience.), it may be said that I am behind on the news. What it actually is that by reading it instead, the trigger for satire and angst have cannot be pulled as easily. I suppose this is a good thing when it comes to dealing with my mom when I call or visit. If I am not worked up about something in the news, then the odds of me being in an argumentative state is lessened.

Unfortunately, my coworker next to me just has to watch their too far right for YouTube commentators. I make it a point to avoid walking in on Mom watching cable channels that are being sued by Dominion. This is not a bank where I can say that I am going on a security check to deescalate me from shouting at the moron.

Hospitality is a far more rewarding job, provided ownership/management wants to impress their guests. There are not enough Lumiere's in the world. That is both in terms of being hospitable and effective French accents. I did not know that Jerry Orbach was the original voice. Do I need to watch the "Beauty an the Beast" remake to follow up on the curiosity expressed in the last podcast when I just have to accept that Ewan McGregor has no means of equating or exceeding that performance?

A little career chatter, some movie talk, I think we can get back to the task of issuing the best wrestling championships again. If you need a little more insight in where my head is at, Malort seems to make me less emotional on a weekend bender inspired by screwing up an interview for my podcast. I still cannot believe I forgot how time zones work. This means that I cannot be too harsh on my uncle who sends out holiday greetings when he wakes up in Buffalo. How can you fault him when you did the same to some bloke on Long Island?

The Disgruntled's $200 Wrestling War and The Current Real Champions of Wrestling:

With AEW Grand Slam and WWE Extreme Rules occurring this week, coming up with the DRCW Unified Legit Men's Doubles World Championship may have to take a back seat. With Sheamus and the Young Buck's losing their championships, declarations of their successors is needed. I have a good feeling that the things will not change over this week's events, but you cannot count on the booker who represens the Northeast.

As I was typing that out, I thought about the hub bub over Kenny Omega facing Bryan Danielson tonight at Grand Slam on free TV ($4.99 on Fite with a VPN). If WWE wants to try spinning a yarn about why AEW is not for wrestling fans, they could say it is the cost to watch it. The WWE Network via Peacock gives you so much content and pay-per-views and only costs fans $60 a year. You have to buy each $50 pay per view with AEW. The AEW narrative is better, but why dedicate your weekends to them, especially when they will give away matches to pop a rating.

Because you want to support them, ensure the wrestling business thrive. How novel a concept.

House on Haunted Hill (1959): When They Use To Do Double Features

House on Haunted Hill: When They Use To Do Double Features

Why should horror sequels work? There is no need for exposition, so you can cut right to the mayhem. Why do they not work? Because they want to introduce new characters when all you need are stereotypes and archetypes.

In a gimmicky genre like horror, we do not necessarily need to know the torrid affairs of the protagonist(s). All you really need to know is the motive of the antagonist. This is the focus of the original "House on Haunted Hill", a trip into a wicked character's mind portrayed by Vincent Price.
