Did a stock take and this must have been my most invested Halloween month with almost 40 horror movies watched. From all decades, all over the world, rewatches and many new. But there’s still so many on my list!

Haven’t seen anyone mention this, but is it really a coincidence that Darby Allin’s new tron signature looks eerily similar to Dean Ambrose’s aka Jon Moxley?

As long as I can think back, I’ve always had Drew Struzan art on my walls in one way or another.

You may have only just found out about Bernd Das Brot, but I’ve been a fan of his for as long as he’s been around. So I was stunned and overjoyed to see him interact with John on @lastweektonight.com

I know everybody is busy playing Silksong, but I recently finally started playing Blasphemous and am absolutely in love with the game. Especially the music by Carlos Viola lives rent free in my head now.

Screenshot of a Twitter post from Gravantus @Gravantus Watching an old Twilight Zone episode where a man becomes obsessed with a devil machine coin fortune teller. The machine gives generic answers but he becomes paralyzed, unable to make a decision without consulting it. Anyway, some of these episodes are a bit farfetched. Attached are two images, one of ta devil coin fortune telling machine with a sign saying ot ask yes or no questions. The second image is a stock photo of a phone with the ChatGPT logo.

Grand Slam México inspired me so much that I wrote my first ever piece about AEW. I don't really have an appropriate home for it, so I'll post it here. Maybe y'all #WrestleSky folks will dig it, but it's written for non-AEW viewers, too. #AEW 🤼

'AEW Are Heroes for Letting America Be the Villains'
Bryan Danielson called All Elite Wrestling “the good guys” in an interview back in April. This was in reference to the tribute show for beloved wrestler Brodie Lee after his untimely passing. That show was widely praised by the wrestling community as the necessary catharsis so many people needed in the midst of such turmoil. AEW offered a very different outlet for the tumultuous emotions so many people are feeling on the most recent episode of Dynamite. For the first time in lucha promotion CMLL’s storied history, Arena México hosted Grand Slam México, an AEW special episode that marks the first time another wrestling company has broadcast from the iconic arena known as the Cathedral of Lucha Libre. And the episode did some things that I’m sure will have plenty of folks talking, in both good faith and bad. During the broadcast, what detractors would call “anti-American sentiment” was allowed to be portrayed in a positive light, starting with AEW wrestler Brody King brandishing a t-shirt proudly proclaiming, “Abolish ICE.” A highlight match was between fan favorite CMLL luchador Mistico and AEW wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman a.k.a. MJF. The American played the part of an outright patriotic heel, draped in the colors of the U.S. flag and playing up his “Apollo Creed as Uncle Sam” obnoxiousness to the nth degree. This is not the kind of presentation around American identity you are likely to expect from the other major American pro wrestling promotion, a company with direct ties to the fascist administration that is kidnapping and harming American citizens. But it’s clear that AEW understands the hearts and minds of its audience, and it tapped into one of the oldest booking strategies in pro wrestling storytelling - the foreign heel - to give international audiences an outlet for so much of the enmity people are feeling about the United States. That was even reflected here in America. On the previous week’s AEW Summer Blockbuster special, the stage was set for the Grand Slam México match between Místico and MJF when the abrasive heel cut a promo that pushed his patriotic persona. He punctuated his words with a giant American flag that unfurled from the rafters, replacing the fifty stars with his smug face. And the Portland, Oregon crowd drowned him out with boos. One of the greatest things about the art of pro wrestling is its maximalist potential for emotional engagement. So many of us are struggling due to the state of the world. We want to shout and scream and see the bad guys lose, but evil seems to always have a leg up in reality. At Grand Slam México, AEW levied the gladiatorial stage of pro wrestling to let everyone watching experience the truth of the national stage - America is vilified for good reason - while providing that sentiment through the magical blend of athletic exhibition and live-action superheroic soap opera storytelling. I have to give immense credit to Tony Khan as a booker. He used his wrestling promotion to give people a healthy place to express their negative feelings about America right now. Having lived through the post-9/11 and Iraq War era when any negative expression of America was met with widespread disapproval, seeing an American entertainment entity like AEW be able to read the room is refreshing beyond measure. And it wasn't all “boo America” energy that managed this. The opening segment of the show had Hangman Adam Page, a cowboy-themed character that’s as steeped in American iconography as you can get, speak to the audience in their language. He talked about how Americans and Mexicans are better when we work together, and the crowd responded with elation. Joy can be very hard to find in the midst of misery, especially if that misery is tied to some sense of self-identity like nationality. I feel ashamed to be an American, and I want us to be shamed on the national stage so more and more people might actually have the “Are we the baddies?” realization my country so desperately needs. Grand Slam México was joyous. Truly, one of the most special pro wrestling shows I’ve ever seen because AEW understood the assignment: in order to be a hero, you have to know who the villain really is. And by giving the audience the right bad guy, it reaffirmed Bryan Danielson’s belief in AEW. They’re the good guys.

Ich wollte schon laaaange ein Video aufnehmen zu "AI-Art" mit meinen Gedanken dazu, wie angstbesetzt das Thema ist.😱
Und als Bonus wollte ich unbedingt Zeichnungen mit ins Video einbauen. Das war aufwendig, aber spaßig. Und jetzt bin ich gespannt auf Eure Meinung.
