Wrestlemania

I saw a Jersey Girl ad today, so my earlier complaint is now nothing to worry about. :)

With Wrestlemania XX on the way, and after discussing wrestling video games with a couple of people, I've thought of a good idea for a game. Well, I think it's good, and that's all that matters. Anyway, THQ's next game for the Gamecube will probably be titled "Wrestlemania XX," it could be a two-disc set. Disc one would feature the current WWE roster and all the TV sets and recent PPV sets. Maybe they could include some backstage areas like the Smackdown games, and hopefully they'd license all the theme music instead of doing generic riffs to replace them. They could probably include the NWO music, "Real American," the DX music and entrance, and a lot of the old, recognizable themes for things like CAWs, and they could include a Create-A-Stable feature too. I wouldn't mind having a better career mode, a Hardcore Battle Royal, and eight-man tag matches (the Legends Of Wrestling games have them, and I want a WWE game with them!). I guess I'm saying I want a Gamecube game to have all of the features of a PS2 game with a few extras. Is that so wrong?

As for disc two, that would be a "Wrestlemania Legends" game. It'd have all kinds of wrestlers from past Wrestlemanias, as well as all the sets from the past Manias. They could have all three sets from Mania 2, and in the case of Manias 4 and 5 having the same set, there'd be a little difference (i.e. one arena banner saying "WWF Wrestlemania IV" and the other saying "WWF Wrestlemania V"). As for the roster, it would be almost like the Legends Of Wrestling games, only with WWE and THQ making it. Then again, I'd be happy with just slapping a few legends into the game with the current roster, like Here Comes The Pain. And the next Legends Of Wrestling game sounds like it could be cool, so I may have to check it out

The Oscars are on right now, and you can expect to see a full list of the winners right here either tomorrow or whenever I feel like it. Meanwhile, I wanna punch The Lord of the Rings in the face. That is all.

Much thoughts and prayers go out to Krissie's main squeeze Way and Chuck's little girl Melanie. Get well soon, you two.

I think I've said pretty much everything I've wanted to say for now. Later.

Leap Day

It's Leap Day! Whee!

I caught Club Dread on Friday night, just because The Passion of the Christ was sold out and I wasn't in the mood for Mystic River (which just started showing here this weekend). It wasn't bad, though it wasn't great either. Super Troopers was a lot better, but I still liked Club Dread. I'll give it a solid two stars.

You know what's weird? I'm seeing all kinds of Dawn of the Dead ads, and not a single Jersey Girl ad. Jersey Girl comes out a week before Dawn of the Dead, so why no ads? It boggles the mind.

Speaking of Dawn of the Dead, I've done a review of the original 1978 movie and its sequel, Day of the Dead. Expect them posted on the day of its release. I'd do a review of the remake of Night of the Living Dead to go with them, but I lost my tape of it. If I can find it or rent a copy between now and then, I will. I'm also working on reviews of Kevin Smith's movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), which I hope to post on the day Jersey Girl comes out. I've got the first three done, and I still need to do Dogma and Jay & Silent Strike Back.

Not much else to discuss, so later.

Music And Movies

Took a trip to Lexington with my mom and aunt, and scored some swag at the mall. I picked up a new copy of CKY's "Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild" CD to replace my old copy (which was scratched up and had a hard time playing), as well as the DVDs of Ginger Snaps and Day of the Dead. I haven't really gotten to sit down and review them, but the Ginger Snaps DVD is a disappointment as far as extra features go. All there is is the trailer. Maybe I should have imported the Canadian DVD, but I'm happy I just have a decent copy of the movie (as opposed to the one I recorded onto an old, beat-up cassette tape when it aired on Cinemax a month or two ago). Plus with the American DVD, highlighting "Play Movie" and hitting enter plays the trailer, and hitting "View Trailer" will play the movie. That's some crummy DVD authoring if you ask me.

Anyway, that's all for now.

The Archives Have Returned

Thanks to Rob T, I've got all my lost archives back. Thanks a lot, Rob.

That's all for now.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a happy Friday the 13th, and I hope that everyone that has a reason to enjoy Valentine's Day does so. Meanwhile, in honor of Valentine's Day, I'd like to entertain everyone with a song. This one goes out to the The Pink Lady, B Lovette. Sing it if you know it...

You love her
But she loves him

And he loves somebody else

You just can't win

And so it goes

Till the day you die

This thing they call love

It's gonna make you cry

I've had the blues

The reds and the pinks

One thing's for sure...

Love stinks!

Love stinks, yeah yeah

Love stinks!

Love stinks, yeah yeah

Love stinks!

Love stinks, yeah yeah

Love stinks!

Love stinks, yeah yeah

What do you mean, you don't like my singing? Well, I have a microphone and you don't, so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!

Okay, that's enough Wedding Singer nonsense for you. And that's enough from me. Later.

Sutton At The Horror Movies

Not much to update on. Just wanted everyone to know that I've updated "Sutton At The Movies" with three new reviews: Jeepers Creepers 2, Joy Ride, and Cabin Fever. Read and enjoy. :)

Werewolves At The Movies

And now, a new review up at Sutton At The Movies: the indy werewolf movie Ginger Snaps. You can read that review here, and I hope you enjoy it.

Blog Go Bye-Bye

Somehow, the blog has been destroyed. Everything from November 2001 to part of my update from this past Monday is absolutely g-o-n-e GONE, and I don't know why. I don't think it'll ever come back, either. So I have rechristened the site "Mattitude, Version Two."

MTV2 Is The Greatest

MTV2 makes me proud. How can you go wrong with huge blocks of Celebrity Deathmatch and Beavis & Butthead? Too bad they had to be up against Joan of Arcadia (which is a show I've just started to get into) tonight, but I'll survive. At least Boston Public wasn't on, so I got to watch Beavis & Butthead without changing the channel between shows. Though I do like Boston Public a lot. Very good TV, it is.

Happy anniversary to everyone's favorite Southern belle Krissie, and her significant other Waylon. They celebrate a year of dating bliss today. Ah, to be young and in love. Congratulations, you two wacky kids. Here's hoping for another year of happiness.

You know, I've been sitting here for two hours and I can't think of anything else to add. Later.

Projects And Shout-Outs

Greetings and salutations, faithful readers. For those of you that were directed here from Rob T's 411 article, I welcome you. Feel free to check out The Horror Movie Survival Guide, and my pet project, Sutton At The Movies.

Thinking of movies, I'd entertained the idea of penning a script based on my associates/partners-in-crime in the Blog Nation. I had a few ideas for scenes (one scene involved a group of people over-exaggerating something that happened at a party), and I even wrote ten pages, but it ended up being a ripoff of both Clerks and Bam Margera's movie Haggard. And since I'm not a very talented or original scriptwriter, I doubt Poptopia: The Movie will ever be a reality. Oh well, no big loss, I guess. Anybody that wants to suggest ideas over AIM is welcome. I can't promise that I'll actually get off my lazy butt to ever pick it up again, but eh, the thought is there.

There might be more later, if I can think of something to post. Later.

More Blatant Movie Shilling

MJust thought I'd point out the changes to the "Blatant Movie Shilling" above. Added are Kill Bill 2, Godsend, The Ring 2, and the remake of The Amityville Horror. Since neither the Ring sequel or The Amityville Horror have official sites yet, I added related links. The Ring link leads to what I think is the best Ring fansite on the Net, and the Amityville Horror link leads to a feature at CrimeLibrary.com. That feature details the real story of Amityville. It's not like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which was a fictional story with some truth added for flavor. The Amityville Horror really started as a true story before those involved admitted it was a hoax.

Not much else to update on right now, so goodbye for now.
