2011 Ramble Awards
Favorite Film: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Why?: A great comic book movie that made me interested in the books and the best video game movie ever made without being based on a video game.
Favorite Performance by an Actor: Christian Bale for the Fighter
Why?: Bale plays former boxer and crack addict Dickie Ward and is funny, twisted, and just so damn scene stealing. Well, Melissa Leo also was a scene stealer too. But Bale was damn fine in this movie, wiping away his less than stellar 2009.
Favorite Performance by an Actress: Noomi Rapace for the Millennium Trilogy
Why?: Noomi Rapace was amazing in the Millennium Trilogy films. The Swedish movies based on the series of books. Right when she first appears you know they got it right. Roony Mara better bring her A+ game but even than I'm still 'meh' about that casting(Nightmare sucked and I cared little for award darling Social Network).
Favorite Director: Edgar Wright for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Why?: Edgar gets it. turned in a movie that felt like a video game. Subspace highways, enemies turning into coins, 1-ups, and boss battles.
Favorite Movie Fight or Action Scene: Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Gravity Defying Hallway Fight in Inception
Why?: It was damn cool. Visually stunning and slick. Plus Joesph threw a cobra clutch sleeper on a guy. Wrestling points added. Above's a clip from some lat night show.
Favorites in TV
Favorite TV Series: South Park
Why?: From the first episode of the season, Sexual healing, about Sex Rehab to the Jersey episode and more, South Park season 14 was on fire. Plus the three part Coon & Friends arc was an epic comic book crossover more so than actual superhero crossovers. MINT-BERRY CRRRRRRUNCH!!!
Favorite Performance by an Actor: Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory
Why?: Actually had a tough choice but I have loads of fun with the Big Bang Theory.
Favorite Performance by an Actress: Katey Sagal for Sons of Anarchy
Why?: Two years running.
Favorite Episode of the Year: Hell for the Holidays from Ugly Americans
Why?: The second half of Ugly Americans made the show a must watch and this episode was maybe the highlight. Mark goes to hell to stay with his demon girlfriends family and deals with clones and a fight to the death. Some cool twists and turns plus everything was just on point for this hilarious piece.
Favorites in Comics
Favorite Continuing Series: Empowered
Why?: Volume 6 had Death Monger!!! The origin of the suit!!! And so much more. A lot of aftermath from the explosive volume 5 but kept me happy through and through like no other comic.
Favorite New Series: Zatanna
Why?: Because fun is fun and this darling book kicks ass. In fact, a recent Adam Beechen and Chad Hardin fill-in issue was good!
Favorite Writer & Favorite Artist: Naoki Urasawa for 20th century Boys
Why?: After checking back and seeing my love of Batman and Fables as far as writing goes and than to the various artists who had work out that I loved I decided to go this route because these have been some damn fine books. So I'm giving him both categories. While Empowered was the best book, this came very close and each volume is a piece of work. A sci-fi thriller that is unlike anything I've ever seen. This is nothing like your "typical manga."
Favorite Collected Edition: Absolute All Star Superman
Why?: The books already awesome. Plus with production artwork, script excerpt with a detailed description of Kandor, Morrison talking about the characters and his thoughts on them and their development it makes the big ass book worth owning.
Books
Favorite Novel: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest
Why?: Because it was killer. Not my fav book in the series but I devoured it and felt happy afterward.
Anime
Favorite Anime: Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Why?: Truth is, haven't seen much this year or not enough of certain things. That said, had I watched more of Shinryaku! Ika Musume I'd probably go with that. Still, Haruhi was good for the most part though the Endless 8 arc got annoying after a while.
Favorites in Music
Favorite Album: The World is Too Big for One Lifetime by Die So Fluid
Why?: Considered the soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and even the newest Tokyo Jihen album but decided on this after re-listening to the album. A good, hard rock album.
Favorite Song: Tie: Reggeaton Song by Kabuto the Python and Nōdōteki Sanpunkan by Tokyo Jihen
Why?: It's tie because I decided it to be. The illest of raps dropped a good EP but the standout was the above track. The Tokyo Jihen song came out in December 2009 but since the album the songs from dropped in 2010, plus I'm not Japanese and didn't know about the album until a couple months ago, I'm including it.
Favorites in Wrestling
Favorite Wrestler: Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan
Why?: Because he's brought some actual submission wrestling to the WWE as well as the stiffest kicks in the company. Saying a lot since a fourth of the roster does kicks now. Plus back on the indy scene he put on a fun match with Eddie Kingston in Chikara and a knock out drag out fight with Bobby Fish over in Evolve.
Favorite Female Wrestler: Ayako Hamada
Why?: Some pretty fun matches in TNA and three damn fine matches in SHIMMER. In fact, her joining the company is what got me to buy those DVDs. Now I actually want more... Oh, and FUCK TNA WRESTLING FOR RELEASING HAMADA!
Favorite Tag Team: The Osirian Portal
Why?: Ophidian brings the hiss and Amasis brings the funk. Good times. The Osirian Portal are just too cool.
Favorite Company: CHIKARA
Why?: Because it brings fun and over-the-top action to pro-wrestling.
Favorite Match: Daniel Bryan vs. Miz vs. John Morrison-Triple Threat Submissions Count Anywhere US Title Match
Why?: Lots of words to describe Daniel Bryan's first PPV defense of the US title. Really my pick just for cementing Daniel as a WWE star and since I've followed this guy since 2001, I can say I was very happy. It asn't the best match but it meant much to me. Surprisingly I found a 'meh' MV for the match. Posted above the listing.
Natalie Portman Award
Natalie Portman
For being Natalie Portman. Black Swan was dope and I hope the black hole that is Ashton Kutcher doesn't kill her Oscar chances.

I'm Hearing A Lot of Good Things...
About the Facebook movie, better known as the Social Network(or is that vice versa). Yet i can not muster the interest for it whatsoever. The previews juts bug me for some reason. The buzz slides off my shoulders. Why is that? I guess its just one of those things where I don't think it looks like my kind of film. Of course, I tend to prefer all my drama's in the form of television. TV has made me realzie tat I can get into mob stories(Sopranos), serious fair set decades pass(Mad Men) or even a procedural(does NCIS count?)
Sorry Facebook movie, maybe when you show up on cable.

Facebook Commentary: They Live
John Carpenter never gets his due. Sad because he has done some awesome flicks. Here's one.
Carl Towns Eight O’Clock in the Morning so that must mean THEY LIVE! Commentary time.
-Pedro Sambrano likes this.
Carl Towns The single best movie to ever star a pro-wrestler. Second would be the Rundown. These are facts. Check 'em on the wiki
-Pedro Sambrano likes this.
Carl Towns The movies based on two stories. One, Eight O’Clock in the Morning by Ray Nelson. And a story called Nada from a comic book called Alien Encounters.
Carl Towns Here's Roddy Piper walking the train tracks. Gotta love that score by director John carpenter and Alan Howarth.
-Pedro Sambrano likes this.
Carl Towns This is actually a good flick for todays society. Deals with the jobless and a state of depression. Plus how aliens keep taking our jobs. Damn intergalactic monsters are taking our jobs.
-Pedro Sambrano likes this.
Carl Towns Street Preacher: Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us, from birth to death, are our owners! Our owners! They have us. They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They're all about you! All around you!
Carl Towns Like Masters of the Universe, this film has meg Foster. Whose eyes are so unreal she has to be some sort of succubus. Peering into your soul.
Carl Towns Enter Frank, played by Keith David. Who I always mistake for David Keith. Even though ones black and awesome and the other is some white actor.
-Pedro Sambrano lol
Carl Towns Its the scene with all the dirty poor people being fed. Go and get jobs-Oh, wait... some of them have jobs. Talk about some pay cuts.
Carl Towns
Carl Towns Bearded Man: They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.
Carl Towns How the fuck are the poor people watching TV in the middle of their slum field. Do they have a generator. Or do they have extension cords running all the way to the local church. Damn plot holes.
-Pedro Sambrano lmao
Carl Towns Okay, a wrestler enters a church. No, thats not a joke. Thats what just happened. Though I wonder if the enter with their arms raised and doing the ramp way entrance they do at a show. That would be so cool.
-Pedro Sambrano In Piper's day they didn't have a ramp way entrance. They just walked to the ring, and Roddy always did that.
-Carl Towns thankfully they have ramps now. it makes walking feel more epic.
Carl Towns The people in the church are conspiring. But for what? Whats going on?
Carl Towns Piper got the job after a wrestlemania 3. he won the match, got a gig in one of the great sci-fi films. truly, a great time for Piper.
-Pedro Sambrano That was when he officially retired. After that he only came back for short runs.
-Carl Towns In a hair versus hair match. i checked it out. i can't seem to remember any 'manias before wrestlemania 5. blue blazer vs. mr. perfect!
-Pedro Sambrano Yep, against Adorable Adrian Adonis.
-Carl Towns That is a pimp name.
-Pedro Sambrano He was pimpin' until they made him wear a dress.
Carl Towns Pipers character, Nada, is watching the church. he's suspicious. as am i every time i pass a church. damn catholic guilt.
-Pedro Sambrano lol
Carl Towns SHIT! It's the police. RUN! 5-oh! 5-oh! Run n***a run! I mean-run po' people run!
-Pedro Sambrano likes this.
-Pedro Sambrano lmfao!!!
Carl Towns They just fuckin' up your house. ... Slum. ... Poor people village?
Carl Towns The cops gonna beat down some church folk. Including a black man. A blind black preacher. Even I think thats going a little too far.
Carl Towns The day after, Piper decides to go to church a second time. Maybe he'll find God. But I kinda doubt it. he never seems to be there.
Carl Towns I stole from a church and all I got were these slick ass as black sunglasses. worth it.
Carl Towns BTW, the movies about a secret alien infiltration. and the sunglasses make it so you can see the truth. like the billboards that actually read OBEY. ahhh... subliminal messaging.
Carl Towns Dear magazine shack owner, all your magazines suck and are telling em to become braindead. and not to question authority.
Carl Towns Continuity Goof: The alien at the magazine stand gets his change twice.
Carl Towns Piper sees the alien chick get her hair did. in the salon. she is one ugly hoe.
Carl Towns This movie proves that black and white makes things creepier.
Carl Towns "You, you're okay. This one, real fucking ugly."-Nada/Piper
Carl Towns formaldehyde-face! thats just classic.
Carl Towns
Carl Towns Thats like pouring perfume on a pig-Piper/Nada
Damn, classic line after classic line.
Carl Towns I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.-As Piper comes int he bank armed and ready to destroy.
-Pedro Sambrano The shotgun to the banker is one of my favorite scenes.
-Carl Towns I'd argue ever scene in this film is one of my favorite scenes.
Carl Towns "Momma don't like tattletales."
Carl Towns The line "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum" was ad-libbed by Roddy Piper. According to director John Carpenter, Piper had taken the line from a list of ideas he had for his pro wrestling interviews.

-Pedro Sambrano Gotta learn the lessons from all of those fights with the Indians.
Carl Towns The sudden burst of laughter by Piper when David doesn't break the bottle appropriately for a weapon makes the fight even sweeter.
Carl Towns Continuity: At the beginning of the alley fight, Nada sets down a cardboard box; Frank sets down a backpack. Towards the middle of the fight, as Frank tries to walk away, both items disappear.
Carl Towns The use of real wrestling moves is fucking awesome. the fights just now ending.

Carl Towns "You had said that 'The Live' was written in response to your horror at the Reagan years. With the (George W.) Bush administration currently wreaking havoc around the globe, don't you think that this would be the perfect time for a sequel?"
This got a huge laugh out of the audience, and understandably so. John answered the question very simply, "The 80s never left us.

Carl Towns Switching from glasses to contacts. less stylish but more practical in a fight i guess.
Carl Towns We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock.

Carl Towns Lots of killing but that bitch Holly took out Frank. Now shes got her gun on our boy. It looks to be over. What you going to do Piper?
-Pedro Sambrano Of course, the black man never makes it to the end of a film, unless its Will Smith, which leads me to believe that his blackness disappeared with his rap career.
-Carl Towns Actually, Keith David made it to the end of the Thing. whether or not him and Kurt Russell got picked up or died in the Antarctic is left to your imagination.
Carl Towns Piper kills Holly. Fires on the broadcast signal disguising the aliens and their subliminal message. Than dies in a hail of gunfire. than gives them a middle finger as he lays dying.

Carl Towns They just fuckin' up your house. ... Slum. ... Poor people village?
Carl Towns The cops gonna beat down some church folk. Including a black man. A blind black preacher. Even I think thats going a little too far.
Carl Towns The day after, Piper decides to go to church a second time. Maybe he'll find God. But I kinda doubt it. he never seems to be there.
Carl Towns I stole from a church and all I got were these slick ass as black sunglasses. worth it.
Carl Towns BTW, the movies about a secret alien infiltration. and the sunglasses make it so you can see the truth. like the billboards that actually read OBEY. ahhh... subliminal messaging.
Carl Towns Dear magazine shack owner, all your magazines suck and are telling em to become braindead. and not to question authority.
Carl Towns Continuity Goof: The alien at the magazine stand gets his change twice.
Carl Towns Piper sees the alien chick get her hair did. in the salon. she is one ugly hoe.
Carl Towns This movie proves that black and white makes things creepier.
Carl Towns "You, you're okay. This one, real fucking ugly."-Nada/Piper
Carl Towns formaldehyde-face! thats just classic.

Carl Towns Thats like pouring perfume on a pig-Piper/Nada
Damn, classic line after classic line.
Carl Towns I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.-As Piper comes int he bank armed and ready to destroy.
-Pedro Sambrano The shotgun to the banker is one of my favorite scenes.
-Carl Towns I'd argue ever scene in this film is one of my favorite scenes.
Carl Towns "Momma don't like tattletales."
Carl Towns The line "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum" was ad-libbed by Roddy Piper. According to director John Carpenter, Piper had taken the line from a list of ideas he had for his pro wrestling interviews.

Carl Towns The Cripple fight in episode 67 of South Park that aired on June 27, 2001. was taken blow by blow from the fight between Frank and Nada in the alley. If you watch it its a match scene for scene of the alley fight

-Pedro Sambrano Gotta learn the lessons from all of those fights with the Indians.
Carl Towns The sudden burst of laughter by Piper when David doesn't break the bottle appropriately for a weapon makes the fight even sweeter.
Carl Towns Continuity: At the beginning of the alley fight, Nada sets down a cardboard box; Frank sets down a backpack. Towards the middle of the fight, as Frank tries to walk away, both items disappear.
Carl Towns The use of real wrestling moves is fucking awesome. the fights just now ending.

Carl Towns "You had said that 'The Live' was written in response to your horror at the Reagan years. With the (George W.) Bush administration currently wreaking havoc around the globe, don't you think that this would be the perfect time for a sequel?"
This got a huge laugh out of the audience, and understandably so. John answered the question very simply, "The 80s never left us.

Carl Towns Switching from glasses to contacts. less stylish but more practical in a fight i guess.
Carl Towns We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock.
Carl Towns The resistance is gathering together, arming themselves, ready to fight.

Carl Towns Lots of killing but that bitch Holly took out Frank. Now shes got her gun on our boy. It looks to be over. What you going to do Piper?
-Pedro Sambrano Of course, the black man never makes it to the end of a film, unless its Will Smith, which leads me to believe that his blackness disappeared with his rap career.
-Carl Towns Actually, Keith David made it to the end of the Thing. whether or not him and Kurt Russell got picked up or died in the Antarctic is left to your imagination.
Carl Towns Piper kills Holly. Fires on the broadcast signal disguising the aliens and their subliminal message. Than dies in a hail of gunfire. than gives them a middle finger as he lays dying.

Carl Towns Prior to production starting, I had added an entire sequence involving the caves beneath Grayskull where the Snakemen have come in order to help defeat Grayskull, joining with Skeletor. The heroes are dragged into the tunnels and a lot of action takes place amid the tension of them trying to escape from the caverns.-Director
Carl Towns "The best New Gods movie, IMHO, is ´Masters of the Universe´. I even corresponded with the director, who told me this was his intent, and that he had tried to get [Jack] Kirby to do the production designs, but the studio nixed it.
Carl Towns "Check it out. It requires some bending and an occasional sex change (Metron becomes an ugly dwarf, The Highfather becomes the Sorceress), but it's an amazingly close analog, otherwise. And Frank Langella's Skeletor is a dandy Darkseid!"-John Byrne, comic artist/writer
Carl Towns "As the director of Masters of the Universe, it was a pleasure to see that someone got it. Your comparison of the film to Kirby’s New Gods was not far off."-The Director
Carl Towns Brian Cronin, author of the "Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed" column, concludes that "the film itself was not intended to be literally a reworked Fourth World, although the intent WAS to make the film a tribute to Jack Kirby - just a tribute to ALL of his work, not just the
Fourth World."
Carl Towns I'm just stealing from Wiki now.
By the way, they're jumping through the gate and prepping for the upcoming battle before Skeletor uses the key.
Carl Towns I must posses all or I posses nothing-Skeletor, great philosopher of our time.

Carl Towns Julie Weiss, my costume designer, called me in a panic from a fitting with Dolph. He was insisting on wearing these kick boxing boots that were cut mid-lower leg. I immediately drove over to the fitting. I looked at Dolph in the short boots.
Carl Towns I told him they looked just terrific, except for the fact that they made him look rather effeminate.
Whoosh! Off came the short boots; on went the tall boots. The boots were never an issue again.

Carl Towns Dolph Lundgren was the first to be cast in the film and Frank Langella was the last to be cast. Stallone was offered the role of He-Man originally.
Carl Towns For the miniature shots set on earth, the special effects men at Boss Film Studios reused some buildings left over from Blade Runner (1982) and Ghost Busters (1984) to fill out the background.
Carl Towns There is a scene included that is not in the film. After the final battle, the Sorceress shows Man at Arms the ancient artifacts of Castle Grayskull and reveals one of the items as an American flag, meaning that Eternia is actually Earth centuries from now.
Carl Towns This was written out of the original script and changed, since Skeletor ultimately finds the Cosmic Key on Earth during the film. However, the alternate ending was used in the official "Masters of the Universe" comic book adaptation of the movie
