    I can't believe I actually laughed (out loud, no less) at a "Funny" Slashdot post.

    The WWE has tried boosting ratings with signings of bigger name talent, and shocking storyline moves, all to no avail. Only now they've alienated both the smarts and the live / casual fans.

    There are smart fake wrestling fans? Surely that can't be.

    LOTR was great, but Peter Jackson isn't the magic director that will make any movie great. And how anyyone, blinding enthusiasm for LOTR not withstanding, is going to ludicrously maintain that WETA is better than ILM is something I'll never comprehend.

    American Graffiti was really good though. Not good enough to make up for episodes one and two, but it was a darned good movie.

    Yeah, this is totally off-topic and schtuff.
