The Dude’s High 5s: Warriors of the Squared Circle

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I spent the day in my PJs playing video games and watching crappy movies, so despite me not celebrating the holiday, my ritual didn’t change.  Over the course of the day I wondered what other institutions I put aside when growing older.  A big one for me was wrestling.  I used to be a huge fan of it.  I grew up in the Attitude era.  For the uninitiated, this was like growing up a Celtics fan in the 60’s (from 1959-1969 they won 9 championships).  I would always get offended when people would say that wrestling was fake, its not.  Like ballet, it’s choreographed, but fake?  No, the athleticism is real.  Today mixed martial arts fills the void that wrestling used to occupy in my life.  So to end my pointless ramblings here are my favorite wrestlers of all time.  CAUTION, I will be using a lot of wrestling terms.  If you don’t know what they are, feel free to look them up or ask in the comments.

The Dude’s High 5s: Bond Movies

There’s a new Bond movie coming out at the week. You have no idea how much that tickles me. When I was a kid, TNT used to have the occasional “15 days of 007” and play them non stop for a fortnight. It was glorious. I’d watch them all over and over. To coincide with the release of Skyfall, I present to you all my favorite Bond Films. Please let me know what films in the series you all like. Of course if you’re not a fan of 007, please say why so I can Internet fight you in the most juvenile of fashions.

The Dude’s High 5s: Cameos

When pulled off, cameos are great.  Its fun to see an actor let their hair down and do a small role in a film.  It humanizes them, and injects humor into a scene.  Its like a private joke to be share between the audience and the casting director.  So here we go, my 5 favorite cameos.
