I like the subtle "oh crap" look Jey had when Cody mentioned Randy was their fifth...since he and Jimmy basically sent Orton out for a year+. I have a funny feeling that Orton will end up causing them to lose.

I thoroughly enjoyed Full Gear. The Texas Death Match was a bit over the top, but I loved it. I was a little disappointed by the lack of appearance from the Devil...unless the Devil was at ringside the whole time (Adam Cole).
Dynamite is in Chicago this week right?

I love slashers, good and bad, and Thanksgiving falls somewhere in between for me. More good than bad, for sure. The best parts of the movie are the kills, without question. There are enough to get you through and make you feel like you get your money’s worth. Because there are so many characters presented, you’re never really sure where they’re going to come from next. The same could be said of the “Whodunit?” plot line - you may have your suspicions, but you won’t really know who did it until late in the story. Very cool use of practical effects - blood and guts, and all of that - and the staging of certain sequences do offer a fair bit of tension. Jump scares are not overdone for a movie of this nature. I couldn’t really relate to any of the characters, so in that way it acts as a typical slasher comprised mostly of disposable bodies. Casting felt like a modern Scream sequel, but without the star power. The setting and theme around Thanksgiving was used well. I must say that I’m probably in the minority as far as folks who weren’t overly impressed with the Black Friday scene. It straddles the line between comedy and drama and doesn’t really do either justice. Comes off more like schlocky, made-for-SyFy fare than I would expect of a theatrical release. It wasn’t the tone setter that I’d hoped it would be. For the most part, the characters come across as one-dimensional. The big reveal at the end falls a bit flat, too. Not so much because of the character, but the final chase feels rushed. It’s good for a surface level popcorn movie, or especially if you like gory slashers. Has similarities to Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, My Bloody Valentine, and Final Destination (kills), as well as some obvious nods to classics like Halloween. I paid a discounted price to see it, and I’ll more than likely pick it up when it comes out on home video. I loved the opening Black Friday scene. It reminded me oh so much of the insanity surrounding all of it and people being ing greedy over crap they really don't need and just being bungholes to each other which often escalated to violence. The opening just turned that aspect to 11 and I loved it. I admit it, I used to go out to stores after Thanksgiving dinner to see what kind of deals I could get (mostly on DVD, blurays, etc.) and have witnessed first hand people being outright nasty to each other over saving $100 bucks on a goddamn TV.

crap, I can't wait to go see Thanksgiving tomorrow night. I've wanted this movie to be a real thing ever since that faux-trailer shown during Grindhouse. By all non-spoiler reviews I've seen, it should be a good slasher movie. Did you see it? If so,how was it? I did. I thought it was pretty damn good. The gore was great. I'll probably go see it again.

Question for anyone here, cause I guess I've just been not paying attention to figure new for Star Wars. Saw the new wave of Bad Batch today, was going to get Hunter, but then saw the $27 price when I scanned it. Is that the new price point for Black Series or just this series? I had gotten the Sabine Wren earlier today, and it was still the $24 price. The $27 is the price point for those since they're Walmart exclusives.

That infinity wave. Getting unmasked heads from everyone EXCEPT War Machine just hurts. I don't believe we've ever gotten him before, this would have been a great chance to finally get him out there. That said, Banner is the only one out of that wave I really am in need of. I don't have a Bruce yet. I may pick up Spidey too, but not sure. You can get an MCU Spidey pretty easily and as far as the Tom Holland head goes, I already have the 2-Pack Peter Parker figure. There is a KINDA Don Cheadle head. Can't remember which wave it was in, but theres a War Machine that comes with an open-helmet head. Pretty decent likeness for when it came out, too. But we definetly need an updated Cheadle head. Came with the War Machine from the Hulkbuster BAF wave from Age of Ultron.

Awww, his poor daughter started crying Fantastic match, Gunther absolutely deserves this accolade. I think it would've been cool if Gunther gave Gable a nod/handshake afterwards If they extend this out to Fastlane, I'm sure that'll be what happens if they pull the trigger on Gable.

Any idea when they back in stock the Amazon 2 packs Hookhausen and Mox and Bryan Danielson? Most likely when they get stock to begin fulfilling pre orders.

I guess it wasn’t a work…? If it’s all real, I’m starting to wonder if Punk intentionally wanted out. I find it odd that weeks before his return to AEW was announced, he was meeting with WWE superstars, apologizing/making amends. Starting to think Punk wanted a WWE return, couldn’t get it, settled with an AEW return. It all just seems weird. Why would they want him back, especially after all of this factored in with the past issues? The guy obviously never changed and remained the same self centered douche he’s always been Yep. Besides with all the bullcrap that's went down with Punk and The Elite and now Perry, why in the world would WWE even want him back?
