Oh, snap:
As lifeless and unneeded as “The A-Team’’ is, it might have been worse. Bradley Cooper could have kept his shirt on.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The moment he said "One in five" our little boy became a man.

Rampage Jackson lost that movie any chance of getting my money.

Rampage Jackson cracks me up. He had me watching Ultimate Fighter longer than I otherwise would. Those guys are overwhelming dickheads, but at least he could be funny about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
He was such a horrible coach, though. I used to like him ("there's gonna be some black-on-black crime!"), but he seems more crazy than funny now.

Oh, he was definitely a crappy coach. Chosen for entertainment value, not for ability to lead a team. I'm sure those guys have brushes with the law all the time, but his was pretty high profile, and still he was back and as team lead.
But so freaking absurd.
I stopped being able to take the show seriously when it became apparent that everyone on it was going to be like the worst of the fighters I knew, and then some. I still would like to have drinks with Dana White, though, I'm curious.

I am still trying to convince Bob to stop watching it, since (a) the fights are so bad and (b) the reality aspect is even stupider. ("Who stole my sweatshirt?" These idiots are worse than children.) PLUS! I'm pretty sure Dana White is one of the worst people on earth.

I really want to know for sure...there's something going on there.
I had my Ultimate Fighter epiphany that felt like my Deadliest Warrior epiphany. There's only so much hormone-addled manipulated smack-talking I can actually take. Fighters don't have to be children, but apparently that's the Spike market.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hence TNA Wrestling.
(Which, I get why some wrestlers have issues with McMahon and how he runs WWE, but seriously. Looking like even bigger idiots in a separate federation doesn't solve anything.)
