No more glowstick wars...
Phish to call it quits.
Apparently they've decided to call it a career because they don't want to become a caricature of themselves(read: like the Grateful Dead.) Considering that I didn't expect them to come back from their post-Farmhouse hiatus in 2000, this isn't a real shock. Trey has a fairly successful solo career going, and Mike Gordon is trying to become a filmmaker. Oh well, another band flames out before I get a chance to see them live.
Raw wasn't too bad last night. As expected, HHH/HBK at Bad Blood is going to be a Hell In A Cell match(and I think maybe it's time they retired HIAC as a match idea, since they've pretty much exhausted the idea.) If they blow the roof off like the NHB Summerslam match from 2002, then this will be a good match. Unfortunately, I'm not anticipating anything earth-shattering. The Eugene mega-push continues this week, as he tagged with Benoit in a match against Garrison Cade and the Coach, and Benoit had him hit the swandive headbutt on Cade. I must admit they've done a hell of a job getting what looked like an embarrassment of a character over in a big way.
Watched Vanishing Point yesterday also. Fox has put out a new, mostly bare-bones edition out of this 70's car classic. It was okay, not as good as I'd remembered it from when I was a kid. Barry Newman plays a burned out speed junkie(in more ways then one) who bets his dealer he can get from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. Along the way he meets a variety of odd characters and gets assistance from a blind DJ given to spouting soul poetics and encouragement(Cleavon Little). It's a good movie, but has the usual downbeat 70's ending and some very creaky early 70's music. Guns'n'Roses fans will note that this is the film that inspired Axl's odd rap at the end of "Breakdown" on Use Your Illusion II.
The Burn-a-palooza continues with the acquisitions of The Little Mermaid(currently OOP) and Battle Royale(never to be legitimately available in the U.S.) How did I go so long without a DVD burner?

Thus spake the Super Guru.
I fear my availability to the outside world, if I were to get a DVD Burner. But my racks of Wrestling Videos would finally be out of the way and less imposing.
