13 Sins Remake of 13 Beloved, an Asian movie. That particular movie is great. This one... for a remake, it's not shabby. For the first half of the movie, it keeps the absurd sense of humour of the original movie, but it doesn't manage to hold much interest when it gets serious. Plus, it doesn't have the magnificent ending that the original had either. It's not a bad movie by any stretch, but if you're a fan of the Asian movie, you're not going to gain much from it. 6/10

I thought there was a couple of good moments in the episode, but aye, most of it was pretty tedious. I'm willing to accept that it's probably the calm before the storm though. I thought the season was excellent before it's week off. That episode there was the exception rather than the rule.

Oh, and two matches now confirmed for the big ABC show. Jack Gallagher vs. Joe Coffey and after last night... Grado vs. Johnny Moss Jack Gallagher vs. Joe Coffey will probably steal the show. If ever there's someone that's bound to light up the place, it's Gallagher.

For f**k sake. I wish I had the 73 cans of lager needed to wipe that image from my head.

Was Noam vs. Darkside as good as some folk are making out?

Jessica Chastain is the big tip to be the lead in Season 2.

Aye, if Seth McFarlane's style isn't for you, then steer clear. He throws lots of shit at the wall in this one. In my own opinion, the vast majority of it sticks and it's utterly hilarious. It's going to be a marmite experience though. I'm going 9/10 on it. Truly great.

No title change tonight. Tombstone, and down goes Freddy Devitt. Just another win for the defending champ.

ICW do like to have the odd surprise. He may still be on the show. EDIT: Just noticed he's in a tag match with Mossy.

They made that stipulation purely so as the winner wasn't a forgone conclusion, which it would have been if they hadn't done this. I still think Jester retains the title.

Right. I'll update this post with results as they come in. BT Gunn df. Wolfgang with the help of NAK and, more specifically, Chris Renfrew's case. Liam Thomson and Carmel df. Stevie Boy and Kay Lee Ray by pinfall. No details, but I assume shenanigans. Joe Coffey vs. Damien O'Connor is up next. Joe Hendry the referee. More shenanigans coming. Kenny Williams has taken charge of the match as Joe Hendry watches from the front row. Joe Coffey gets the win as Joe Hendry takes his job back and does a fast count to hand him victory. Up next... Jimmy Havoc vs. Chris Renfrew. For the second time, these two guys go the distance and we finish with a time limit draw. ================================================================== Part two starts with Mark Dallas, so I assume we get an announcement from him. Maybe not, as we move onto Darkside vs. Noam Dar. Darkside gets the win with a Guillotine Choke after a "severe" low blow. A low blow is already severe. F**k knows what that means. Jackie Polo and Mark Coffey vs. Johnny Moss and Grado is up next. Grado and Johnny Moss pick up the pinfall win. Johnny Moss gives Grado a kicking post-match. Main event is up now, and it appears we have Freddy Devitt as he's out there in full Nightmare on Elm Street gear. Excellent. Huuuge match this and from the Vine I just seen, the crowd is completely fucking molten. Jester's busted open and they're taking it to the streets as well. They're going all out here. I wonder... Jester lands the Tombstone and finishes the match and retains the title.

I liked Aurora. Elle Fanning was an inspired bit of casting for that role. She just buzzes with the energy that you'd expect from the character. Aurora and Maleficent kept the whole thing glued together with the crumbling mess of shite around them.

Aye, Jolie is terrific in it. It's all in the eyes. The pixies are brutally annoying, and aside from being absolutely shite at bringing the lass up, they're also horrible comic relief in a movie which didn't need it. I enjoyed it though, even with all of it's weird inconsistent moments. I'd go 8/10 on it, as when it was good, it was REAL good.

Why don't you see that?!

So aye, I did McBusted and Katy Perry. McBusted was fantastic. Perry... wasn't. Was accompanied by a backing track most of the way and just didn't put on a great show. McBusted put on the show of a lifetime, and just completely blew the roof off.

Mark Dallas always says that Studio 24 reminds him of the old Apollo 23 venue. Apollo 23 was actually a bit crud. But I get his meaning. The intimacy of it.

Cool. I know you and Ludo are interested. I'll jump on my old account and start the list with that.

Belting show. The ladies stole it, but Breeze and Zayn did a number on me too. Neville vs. Kidd... erm... was good. Not great, but good. Tyson Kidd is clearly not ready to do a match of that length.

Truth be told, I was just fed up with some folk. Especially xbl, who actually winded up getting banned. Coming back? It's the old StandFree thing I guess. Just like posting on here.

Erm... not sure. That can do the opposite and make them more determined. A sort of rebellion attitude.

The point deduction did have an impact though, it's a mentality thing. The players felt defeated by the deduction. You can't do much to help that. They're humans, not robots.

Before I fucked off, I was gonna do a top MMA fights poll. Now... how many votes would I get? I need anyone who would vote to reply.

Looks a belting card. My next show is the ABC in July. Jack Gallagher vs. Joe Coffey. The business!
