  1. WWE Extreme Rules Results Because Daniel Bryan was not medically cleared to compete, there was no Intercontinental Championship match. NXT's Neville stepped in and pinned Bad News Barrett with the Red Arrow. Chicago Street Fight Dean Ambrose landed the Dirty Deeds on Luke Harper over a stack of chairs. Kiss My Arse Match Dolph Ziggler rolled up Sheamus for the pin. After the match, Sheamus gave Ziggler a low blow and the Brogue Kick instead of puckering up. WWE Tag Team Championship The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E, with Xavier Woods) def. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro © (with Natalya) to become the new Champions. WWE United States Championship - Russian Chain Match John Cena © def. Rusev (with Lana). WWE Divas Championship Nikki Bella © (with Brie Bella) did the Rack Attack on Naomi to retain the title. Last Man Standing Roman Reigns def. Big Show after spearing him through the Spanish announce table. WWE Heavyweight Championship - Steel Cage Match Seth Rollins © def. Randy Orton by crawling out of the cage. Even though the RKO was banned in this match, Rollins used it against Orton. Tonight's RAW will probably explain that the stipulation applied only to Orton. Whatever.
  2. One of Europe's most beloved storybooks gets a new big screen treatment this year. The Little Prince is directed by Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda) and features the voices of Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Starman), Rachel McAdams (Irene in Sherlock Holmes, Regina in Mean Girls), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Brian in Anchorman), Marion Cotillard (Talia in The Dark Knight Rises, Mal in Inception), James Franco (Harry Osborn in Spider-Man 1-3, David Skylark in The Interview), Benicio del Toro (The Collector in Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy), Ricky Gervais (Dr. McPhee in Night at the Museum, David Brent in The Office), Bud Cort, Paul Giamatti (Limbo in Planet of the Apes, Aleksei/Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2), Albert Brooks (Marlin in Finding Nemo, Bernie in Drive), and Mackenzie Foy (young Murph in Interstellar). The film premieres at this year's Cannes Film Festival this May. Official Site
  3. Jeremy Jahns' Spoiler Talk Review in Haiku Rating: Good Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 81% - "Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as a suitably satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor's unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe." Metacritic Score: 72 out of 100 Meanwhile, some 686 screens in Germany are boycotting the film's release in protest against Disney's rental fees.

  4. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 90% - "Ex Machina leans heavier on ideas than effects, but it's still a visually polished piece of work -- and an uncommonly engaging sci-fi feature."Metacritic Score: 78 out of 100
  5. Here's the final card of WWE Extreme Rules: WWE Heavyweight Championship - Steel Cage: Seth Rollins © vs. Randy Orton - One of the stipulations of this match is that Orton is banned from using the RKO. In addition, Kane will be the gatekeeper. Regardless of these, expect Rollins to keep the belt. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Daniel Bryan © vs. Bad News Barrett - Yes! Yes! Yes! Bryan retains the belt. WWE United States Championship - Russian Chain Match: John Cena © vs. Rusev (with Lana) - Rusev gets buried again by Cenation. WWE Tag Team Championship: Tyson Kidd & Cesaro © vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E, with Xavier Woods) - It's sad that WWE no longer pays attention to the tag team division, so no matter who wins this one, no one will care. So much for Cesaro's momentum. WWE Divas Championship: Nikki Bella © (with Brie Bella) vs. Naomi - Paige, who was the #1 contender, was put out of commission by Naomi. Expect Naomi to win, and expect everyone else to go to the concession stands or take a piss break. Last Man Standing: Roman Reigns vs. Big Show - No one cares about either of these two. Chicago Street Fight: Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper - This fight goes to Ambrose. Kiss My Ass Match: Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus - What did Ziggler do to deserve this?
  6. In Southeast Asia, it's a different story. Since majority of the Japanese brands are made in Thailand, India, or Indonesia, the quality is lagging a bit compared to the same models that are made in Japan (if available). On the other hand, Hyundai and Kia cars feel more upscale at the same price range as their Japanese competitors. They benefit heavily from improved design and ergonomics after hiring former BMW and Audi designers.
  7. Are Hondas skimping on sound deadening? I currently drive a tiny Kia hatchback, but I feel Kia has overengineered it, as you can barely hear any road noise on the highways and the interior trim is borderline Audi, save for the hard plastics.

  9. Just saw it earlier tonight. Not as good as the first film or even Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but still a great superhero flick. Outstanding performance by James Spader, with his portrayal of Ultron being the creepiest supervillain on the big screen. If you watch it after the previous MCU films, the buildup to Infinity War makes more sense. As for negatives, perhaps the film's a tad too long and the numerous backstories slow it down much. Regardless, Avengers: Age of Ultron perfectly sets up Phase 3 of the MCU.
