Random Raw Thoughts, And More

Hey look, a post for no apparent reason!

Quick response to a comment from one Ms. Libby Lane. She asks, "What is Land of the Dead all about?" Well, Libby, here's your response, via ComingSoon.net: "In the film, the zombies have taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers. The drama revolves around a group of scavengers who must thwart an attempt to overthrow the city while the dead are evolving from brainless slow-moving creatures into more advanced creatures." By "evolving," I assume they're gonna end up like Bub, the gun-slinging zombie from Day of the Dead. Either that, or Romero is gonna sell out to the recent trend and have the zombies run.

That Mountain Dew commercial with Steven Seagal is crazy. I guess the direct-to-video market wasn't doing so well. And what's next, Jean-Claude Van Damme in a Dr. Pepper commercial? Meanwhile, the guy from the Office Max commercial (you know, the guy that looks like Kevin Eubanks from The Tonight Show) still gets a laugh from me.

I caught the old Adam West Batman movie on the Fox Movie Channel last night, and no matter how many times I see it, it still rules. "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb," indeed.

And now for some Random Raw Thoughts...

• It's about time Tracie got the boot. Why she was in there so long is beyond me.
• The Rock organizes a pie-eating contest... so Carmella smears a pie all over herself. Apparently, she doesn't know the difference between "eating" and "wearing." And then the redhead sat on one because her butt was hungry. Oy vey, I think these diva potentials are a tad stupid.
• Is it a rule that The Rock has to embarrass or beat up Coach every time he shows up on Raw?
• "There's fixin' to be a homicide up in this sumbitch." Oh my.
• Kane is a Billy Idol fan? I'd have never guessed.
• What was up with the ending of the Jericho/Edge match? Guys get dropped groin-first across the turnbuckle all the time, and nobody gets disqualified for that. Why is Jericho landing on the top rope any different? And is it just me, or was this the only match during the first hour?
• So if Randy Orton was kicked out of Evolution, why is he still entering to the Evolution theme music?
• On the topic of entrance music, Regal came out to Eugene's music and video. Doesn't he have his own music and video? His old "man's man" music is right there! They should break it out of mothballs just once. And the dueling brass knuckles made for a cool finish.
• Did anyone else see the ad for Sky Captain And The World For Tomorrow shown during Raw? That's the first I've seen of it, and it looks absolutely awful. I don't care how attractive Angelina Jolie may be, the movie still looks stupid. Believe me, I know stupid movies, and this certainly looks like one.
• Geez, only two matches on Raw? The episode with the Iron Man match only had two matches, but that's because one of them took up half of the show. When Heat and Velocity have more matches in an hour than Raw has in two, something's up.
• If J.R. says "wedding from hell" one more time, I'm gonna track him down and kick the living snot out of him. The cellist and pianist playing Kane's music when he entered was nothing short of brilliant. The montage set to "Having My Baby" was also brilliant. Also great was Trish's bridesmaid attire. And Matt getting slammed off the stage... poor guy.

That's all I've got for now. Sutton out.
