Movie night with the slashers

Got this idea from @pinkcowmeat I really enjoyed theirs so I thought why not do one myself. I hope y’all enjoy. Also I rewatched House of a 1000 corpses and unsurprisingly I’m gonna start writing for Otis Driftwood. I’m a sucker for Bill Mosley. Also Nubbins and Chop Top are officially with the characters I write too. A lot of stuff I know.

Includes: Thomas Hewitt, OG Michael Myers, Nubbins Sawyer and poly Sinclair brothers

Thomas Hewitt

He’s never really had the time to have a movie night or someone to do it with so he’ll gladly do it with you.

He’ll make sure nobody interupts the two of you while you watch one together.

You’ll be the one picking because Tommy doesn’t know many movies to begin with so he’ll be happy with whatever you pick for him.

If you make snacks to share he’ll probably not eat much because he’ll worry about eating too much.

His instnct is to hold/ cuddle you while you watch the movie together. If a gorey/upsetting scene comes on he’ll cover your eyes despite your protests. He just want’s to keep you as far away from that stuff as you can be.

If you start to talk about the movie and geek over the process, impact or the actors in it he’ll listen happily unlike my family when I try to explain to them how George Romero created the modern day zombie.

If it’s a comedy you might have to explain a few jokes here and there but once you explain it he’ll laugh along with you.

Michael Myers

You’ll suggest the idea and he’ll probably sign a maybe. But he’ll defenitly show up when it comes time.

He’ll probably push you to pick a horror movie. I swear the man gets a kick out of scaring people. Like he’ll scare you out of nowhere for a laugh so this is kinda like a comedy for him.

Depending on how long you two have known each other he might lift his mask to eat whatever you bring.

If you want to cuddle you’ll have to initiate it and don’t expect him to cuddle back right away. He’ll warm up to it eventually but still he’s not gonna be super like over the top with it.

He’ll shake you a bit or like make you jump if he see’s you’re really on edge. If you jump at a jump scare he’ll definitly chuckle at it. He’ll get even more of a kick out of it if you yell at him for it. He finds it amusing when you act tough.

He might not laugh along if it’s a comedy and will definitly just zone out if its a romance or a drama. If it’s a musical he would just leave. Sorry theater kids, Michael isn’t a fan.

Nubbins Sawyer

He’ll be so excited. He did movie nights with Chop Top for awhile before he had to leave so doing this with you is going to be lots of fun for him.

Either some old horror movie or another type of old black and white film. I feel like he would watch those.

You’d think you’d watch it downstairs but I feel like they have a spare vhs tv that they have lying around that you can use.

He’ll be very handsy while watching the movie. Holding you, kissing you or like just resting on you.

He will talk about the movie the entire time. I feel like he would do as much research as he can about the movies or their actors.

He will be like laughing quietly as mostly anything, especially like someone dying, nudity or anything like that. Good luck trying to watch a Rob Zombie movie with him.

Once you do it with him once he’ll wanna make it a weekly thing. He has enough movies to go through to do that with you.

The Sinclair Brothers

Lester and Vincent are imediatly on board with the idea but it takes a little convincing with Bo.

Good luck on trying to find something to watch. Vincent would love more artsy films and things like that while Lester and Bo probably want something more raunchy. You’ll have to go with a comedy or a horror movie.

Or if you go the route of letting one of the brothers pick a movie Vincent will pick a like old romance movie and get teased by his brothers for it.

Lester would pick a western or a horror movie. Probably a cheesy slasher like ‘Intruder’ or ‘Texas chainsaw massacre two’.

Bo would like a horror movie too but like a classic one. Probably a fan of ‘The exorcist’ or ‘Halloween’.

If you chose the movie Bo will complain a bit but cut it out after getting a nudge from Vincent.

If you comment on the killer being hot they’re never going to let you live that down. Bo and Lester will do most of the teasing but Vincent will join in from time to time.

There might be some arguing over who gets to sit next to you so you’ll either sit on someones lap in the middle of them or one of the brothers has to sit on a different chair. If you chose Lester or Vincent over Bo he’s gonna be a bit salty about it for awhile until you make it up to him.

The Mosley Review: Army of the Dead

What happened to the zombie film genre? Why are zombie films so far and inbetween? I remember a time when zombie films used to be plentiful. They had the same plot of survival, but they would also go into different pockets of film genres and it was so much fun. I guess Hollywood decided to move on as the genre became too plentiful and The Walking Dead tv series took over. The 2004 version of Dawn of the Dead is and will always be one of my favorite zombie films because of its introduction of running zombies. The tension was insane, the gore was brutal and I loved the innovation of showing a new rule of if you're bitten and you're pregnant, then expect a zombie baby. The film introduced the world to Zack Snyder and I've been waiting for him to return to the genre and this was a fantastically gory return. Right from the beginning of the film, the film takes you through an epic, bloody, tragic, explosive and unique story driven montage that sets up the tone and style. I love that the film didn’t shy away from making the story almost reflect our current world and it was almost scary how close the parallels were. This film also takes the zombie genre to next level by making not just monsters, but smarter and more human like. The great George A. Romero touched on it in Land of the Dead and I think he would approve of how Zack has evolved the concept.

Dave Bautista was excellent as Scott Ward. He gets another chance to blend his action prowess with his more dramatic acting abilities which have drastically improved. There are moments in the film where he broke my heart. Ella Purnell was great as his estranged daughter Kate and I loved the dynamic between them. You can feel the tension and the love they have and you hope for them to reconnect amongst the madness. Ana de la Reguera was good as Scott's friend Maria Cruz and I liked the chemistry between them. Theo Rossi is always great and he was good as the douche bag security guard Burt. Hiroyuki Sanada was fun as Bly Tanaka and he brought a bit of class to the film. Garret Dillahunt was perfectly slimy and untrustworthy as Tanaka's right hand man Martin. Nora Arnezeder was cool as Lily and she delivers the new lore and rules of the zombies that have taken over Las Vegas. Tig Notaro was fun as Marianne. She had a number of good quips in the film, but I didn't find her as hilarious as she could've been. Raúl Castillo and Samantha Win were great as Mikey Guzman and his friend Chambers. Mikey was all about the YouTube fame, but Chambers was secretly the most badass at killing zombies in one best action scenes I've seen all year. Richard Cetrone was awesome as the ruler of all the zombies Zeus. He exudes so much power in every movement he makes and he gives an emotional depth to an otherwise simple villain in the wrong hands. Athena Perample was equally fun and strong as his Queen. Now the ones that nearly stole the film for me were Omari Hardwick as Vanderohe and Matthias Schweighöfer as Ludwig Dieter. Once both of them arrive on screen and are paired together, it is comedy gold. They immediately play off the classic trope of the muscle and the brains working together. The weird, hilarious and nerdy bond the two of them have is just too much for this film to handle.

The score by Tom Holkenborg was excellent and most epic towards the last 30 minutes of the film. Like I said before, the opening montage was beyond fantastic and Richard Cheese's cover of Viva Las Vegas was a showstopper. The action in the film was excellent and features one of the best and most satisfyingly gory kills by a tiger I've ever seen. Writer and Director Zack Snyder has made a fantastic and fun zombie action heist film that will quench your thirst for blood and keep you entertained the whole time. This is definitely one of his best original films in years and I can’t recommend it enough. The Netflix original is now streaming. Let me know what you thought of the film or my review in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Lists ‘N Stuff: The Top 10 UFC WWs from 2010 to 2019

I like lists! It’s my thing these days I guess. I started doing this particular list because my attempt at creating the top 10 boxing welterweights of the 2000s was pretty much DOA given how most of the guys you’d expect (Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquaio, Mosley) all jumped around weight classes so frequently in that era that I’d either be left removing Floyd (who fought thrice at the weight) or Pacquaio (twice) or trying to justify how Carlos Quintana and Louis Collazo were actually really genuinely top 10 welterweights. I figured I could extend that to just 140 and 147 lbs but at that point I gave up. Instead let’s jump sports and go right to MMA which I’ve been chronologically bullshitting about on here since 2012. Just HOW good was the UFC’s welterweight division from 2010 to 2019? Well let’s do the hard work!

Couple of caveats here:

-This is strictly based upon 1) your fights at WW only and 2) your fights ONLY in the UFC. Guys who were fighting outside the organization don’t have those fights count against your record.

-There’s a FIVE fight minimum to be eligible. This is primarily due to not wanting to have to deal with “What about Conor/Nate/Nick?!” questions.

-Unless a fighter actually popped positive on a drug test, I did not try to dock anybody who I suspected of being on PEDs. We know the UFC was the wild wild west for most of this era so rather than be the equivalent of the guy who swears RDA is on steroids because “Well he started winning then he lost!”, I stuck to the facts.

Honorable Mentions:

Colby Covington- As much as we all may dislike Covington for what he does and says, the fact of the matter is that Colby Covington is a genuinely good welterweight. Wins over Robbie Lawler, Demian Maia and Rafael Dos Anjos are his two big punctuation marks but this is also a guy who gave Kamaru Usman hell for an extended period in their title fight and holds a bevy of solid under the radar wins over the likes of Max Griffin and Dong Hyun Kim. I could see somebody putting Covington on their top 10 and I wouldn't begrudge them at all. I just couldn't cross that bridge on my end.

Rafael Dos Anjos- RDA is probably a top 10 all time lightweight and one of the greatest fighters of the 2010s but I still think I prefer RDA's dominance as a lightweight. As a welterweight he got off to a tremendously hot start in the weight class punctuated by a win over Robbie Lawler but from then on? It's been a pretty dry run. Since the Lawler fight, RDA is 1-4 and the pattern is pretty much out there. If you pressure him early and prevent him from getting a good feel for the space and pace of the fight, he's a pretty easy touch. He's gritty and durable but he basically exists now to test if you're ready for the big step up. I'm not a big fan of the gatekeeper label for dudes like RDA so I prefer the term mini boss. He's the guy who checks to see if you're ready for the big boss.

Leon Edwards- Leon Edwards is 10-2 and coming off a career defining win over RDA and yet he's not in the top 10? Against fighters who have better records than him?! To begin with, Edwards has a looot of dead air on his resume. We're talking about guys who weren't even relevant at the time of their fight. A green Vicente Luque and Bryan Barberena were his good wins but not exactly top 10 worthy, especially given the UFC roster bloat. There's also only one guy on the top 10 list who did NOT get at least an interim title shot and that guy beat him up in a backstage fight so it's not like I could squeeze him in. I also have to admit (unfortunately) that Edwards is sort of a dull fighter who tends to get overlooked on lists like this.

Jake Shields- I don't think there's anything wrong with Jake Shields sneaking onto this list. Shields' run as a welterweight in the UFC was a 4-3 jaunt (that felt like the 100 year war) with wins over some damn good fighters but mostly in close contested score card-y fights. On paper though wins over Woodley and Maia SHOULD get you into the top 10 though so again, if he's on yours then fine. No shame in losses to Hector Lombard, GSP and Ellenberger.

Jake Ellenberger- If you remove the last five fights of his career when he was just sort of being trudged out there because “He hit hard so he can always win a fight!”, Jake Ellenberger has a spiffy record of 9-6 with wins over the likes of Jake Shields, Josh Koscheck and a not exactly cooked Diego Sanchez while his losses are to the likes of Rory Mac, Robbie Lawler, Wonderboy and the generally underrated Martin Kampmann. Not a top 10 for the decade even at that point but the rise of the elite four in Colby, Masvidal, Usman and Woodley and him continually getting fights over and over and over haven’t been kind to him. Ellenberger, Kampmann and Carlos Condit are the three guys who will always be sort of forgotten by modern fans who deserve their just due.

------------------------

1- Georges St. Pierre Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-0 Record in title fights- 6-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0

So in hindsight, GSP's resume is not exactly all that hot. Dan Hardy, Jake Shields and Josh Koscheck all pretty much faded out of relevancy shortly after their title fights although GSP probably ended Koscheck's career. GSP's record is a mere 6-0 and he pretty much sat out the Woodley/Lawler/Hendricks era of MMA minus a cameo to claim the UFC's middleweight crown. Ignore that part of his resume and instead remember that GSP tore his ACL on TWO separate occasions and there were genuine questions about his ability to come back and fight. Not only did he come back but he came back with basically the same style that made him a legend slightly tweaked and amplified to overcome his lack of explosiveness. GSP will always be viewed differently because he didn't finish fights but again, he was pretty much cooked physically well into his early 30s due to repeated knee injuries. What's more? GSP should be #1 overall if only because he is one of the few guys in MMA who was able to continually dictate his own terms. He was able to pick who he fought because for years he fought EVERYBODY there was to fight. He was able to choose where he fought because he was the UFC's biggest draw before the rise of Conor McGregor. He beat Hendricks in a close fight, realized his health took priority and retired. He started a media war with the UFC and won that too. Then he returns, coaxes the UFC into giving him a middleweight title fight, wins that and then realizes that he doesn't have to fight anymore against what was at the time a rising crop of genuinely bad ass middleweight contenders like Robert Whittaker, Yoel Romero and the likes of Weidman, Jacare, Gastelum, Rockhold and so on so forth. GSP got in, got titles, got paid and then got out when the situation didn't seem right to him. That's #1 shit.

2- Tyron Woodley Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-3-1 Record in title fights- 4-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2-1

To quote the always esteemed "Tyron Woodley is just going to continue to piss people off." Woodley's UFC reign began with him bombing out Jay Heiron on short notice and then he followed that up by smelting Jay Heiron and then sort of stumbled over his feet to the tune of a 2-2 record. After his loss to Rory MacDonald in June of 2014, Woodley went on one of the welterweight divisions more impressive tears with wins over Dong Hyun Kim, Robbie Lawler, Stephen Thompson and Darren Till to name a few. Woodley's fights were either really great (Thompson I, Till) or really awful (Thompson II, Gastelum) with very little in between space. His 4-1-1 record in title fights and 4-2-1 record against competition on this ledger paint the picture of one of MMA's best neutralizers and one of the greatest resumes of the 2010s. Woodley's 2019 pretty much hit the skids as he lost to Kamaru Usman in a blow out and then pretty much disappeared with hand and shoulder issues. Woodley's probably approaching the back 9 of his career but I would be stunned if he wasn't in the top 3 welterweights all time even when the NEXT decade ended. All hail MMA's greatest nuisance.

3- Robbie Lawler Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-5 Record in title fights- 3-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 4-2

I remain a sentimentalist I suppose. The latter days of the Lawler era are painful in large part because years of wars and a style that willingly sacrificed rounds 2 to 4 finally caught up with Robbie Lawler. He just sort of fell apart which isn't too surprising since from December 2013 to Jan 2016 he fought NINE times with FIVE of those fights going a full five rounds. From that period of time Lawler has win over Rory MacDonald (twice), Carlos Condit, Jake Ellenberger, Matt Brown, Johny Hendricks with FOUR fight of the nights and FOUR UFC title fights. Robbie Lawler spoiled us to believe welterweight fights were always awesome because every fight he was in WAS awesome. The latter era of Lawler is pretty sad. Woodley beat IMO the last image of a prime Robbie Lawler but after that I think it's fair to say the fire was gone. He probably deserved to lose to Donald Cerrone as well if we're being honest. The one brief flicker of light was against Ben Asken in a fight I thought he won prior to Askren pulling out a sub in a rally come from behind 1st round "win" dare I say. Lawler has had a lot of injuries, a lot of inactivity (he fought the same number of fights in 2014 alone than he has since the start of 2017) and sometimes the magic just runs out.

4- Kamaru Usman Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 11-0 Record in title fights- 2-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-0

Next to Wonderboy vs Rory MacDonald, Lawler vs Usman was a tremendous struggle for me. Kamaru Usman's steadier and had more of a balance to his career. Even if he had slipped up once or twice prior to this, Usman's overall dominance is stupendous. Wins over RDA and a bunch of good welterweights like Leon Edwards, Sergio Moraes and Colby Covington are good enough to get you on the list but getting into the top 5 requires you to scalp Tyron Woodley in a blowout. Usman's here because for most of the early portions of his UFC career, he was borderline brutal to watch and his competition was pretty blegh/eh/meh. Usman's rise really took off in after the Emil Meek fight and the Woodley/Covington back to back performances vaulted him up the rankings big time. The fun part with Usman is seeing how high he'll go when this list is re-done in 2030 or so. By the time we hit 2022 or so, Usman could have wins over Masvidal, Edwards (again), Covington (again) and potentially a whole new banner crop of welters.

5- Stephen Thompson Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-4-1 Record in title fights- 0-1-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 3-1-1

If we decided to rank these dudes in order of politeness, Thompson and Maia would be fighting for the #1 spot. Sometimes I wonder if Wonderboy is forgotten when we discuss the best UFC fighters to never win a title. On this list alone, he beat Johny Hendricks, Jorge Masvidal and Rory MacDonald. He gave two tough title fights to Tyron Woodley while holding the title of having arguably the biggest disparity in title fight quality in said title fights. He'll probably never live down getting smelted by a pudgy lightweight in Anthony Pettis and that alone could've been enough to knock him down the charts I suppose. I wonder how the WW division would've changed if Wonderboy arrives in, say, 2010 or so as opposed to 2012. He's just never had the gear to go out and take a tough fight away from the other guy which is why he lost twice to Woodley and suffered that kind of brutal decision loss to Darren Till.

6- Rory MacDonald Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 9-4 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-4

Rory entered the UFC in 2010 and was gone before 2016 was over. In six years, he has one of MMA's most impressive resumes with a whose who of fights against the elite of the elites. He fought Robbie Lawler twice, Carlos Condit, Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson, BJ Penn, Jake Ellenberger and Tyron Woodley and that's all without looking it up. He'll always be defined by the war vs Robbie Lawler that basically broke him beyond repair. Rory may not be a top 3 WW but of the ten names on this list, he's arguably among the more culturally significant to the MMA landscape. Rory is without question one of the best welterweights of his era and I also think he's one of the few dudes who did it while almost certainly without steroids. My hat is off to him.

7- Demian Maia Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 12-5 Record in title fights- 0-1 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3

So when I originally did this list, I had Demian Maia MUCH higher up. Like above Rory higher. Maia being ranked above Rory Mac sounds like a bit of a crock given how MacDonald beat Maia BUT I'm also accounting for long term career relevance in a sense. Maia's still having competitive fights at WW (pause on that Burns fight) and beating up on dudes sometimes 15 years younger than him while Rory is 3-2-1 since leaving the UFC and 3-4-1 since 2015 ended. That said when you factor in the Woodley performances for each guy plus Rory's prime being so magnetic (and the win in the H-2-H matchup, I made a switch). When you consider how utterly one dimension Demian Maia is, it's a testament to how insane that dimension is that he's up this high. Maia has wins over list guys Carlos Condit, Jorge Masvidal and relatively dominant performances over dudes you'd recognize like Ben Askren, Lyman Good, Neil Magny, Gunnar Nelson and then undefeated Ryan LaFlare. His losses are to genuinely legitimately awesome fighters like Rory MacDonald, Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley.

8- Johny Hendricks Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 10-6 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 2-3

Hendricks is another dude who had an unceremonious ending to his career. From 2011 to 2015, he was genuinely at worst #3 in the welterweight rankings. We're talking a resume loaded with guys like Josh Koscheck, Carlos Condit, Martin Kapmann, John Fitch, Matt Brown, GSP and Robbie Lawler all on the docket. I went back and watched Hendricks vs GSP for this and still come away thinking Johny got jobbed. Hendricks' career will always be filled with question marks and what if's. We'll never know whether he was on steroids and we'll never know what would've happened if Hendricks would've kept himself in shape more consistently to avoid the ballooning up that eventually fucked his body up. We'll never know if he would've beaten GSP in a rematch or how he would've done had the rumored Nick Diaz vs Johny Hendricks fight that was in talks for 2015 (the one which led to Anderson vs Nick Diaz) would've panned out. Hendricks is a what if but the fact he is a what if while also being a top 10 welterweight for a loaded decade of great fighters is a damn testament to how big of a whirlwind he was for the beginning of the decade.

9- Jorge Masvidal Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 7-5 Record in title fights- 0-0 Record against other fighters on the list- 0-2

Jorge Masvidal makes it onto the list primarily due to his run on the back half of the 2010s. Regardless of how you feel about Darren Till, Nate Diaz and Ben Askren, those are three of the most impressive wins of 2019. He was in the running for 2019's FOTY (I believe he WAS my pick) and is having a seriously impressive second half of his career. Even his losses are all in pretty damn close fights minus Wonderboy who just casually pieced him up. The reason he's so low is that the two guys on this list that he fought, he lost to. Masvidal historically has been a guy who can feast on the lower portions of (insert division/rankings here) but when it comes to the step up, he never actually takes the next step in fights he can CLEARLY win. If he ever fights Kamaru Usman, he could move up higher on the list and if he wins then we need to talk about Masvidal as having a Bisping-esque career resume.

10- Carlos Condit Record in the 10s (Jan 1st 2010 to December 31st 2019)- 6-8 Record in title fights- 1-2 Record against other fighters on the list- 1-5

If Carlos Condit had simply retired like he planned to after the Maia loss, he would've retired 6-5 with wins over the likes of Rory MacDonald, Nick Diaz and Martin Kampmann from 2010 to 2019. Instead his resume was littered with rough losses in three straight fights against substandard competition. Carlos Condit's run from 2011 to 2013 is stuff of legend but the tide clearly turned after tearing his ACL vs Tyron Woodley. He had one big turning back the clock performance vs Robbie Lawler in a fight I still to this day feel like he won. Condit's body and lack of significant pop in his hands just put the ceiling on his career. Condit's back 9 of the 2010s are ugly but on the front leg, he was the first dude to beat DHK, the first to beat Rory MacDonald, beat Nick Diaz, gave GSP his toughest fight in years and IMO beat Johny Hendricks. Also come on now dudes. If you think Condit wasn't on this list somehow then you don't know me.

Lorine Chia & Romero Mosley - NameOfEP - http://mightyburners.net/?p=26951 Soul/R&B EP Singer Lorine Chia and producer Romero Mosley share sounds that are sunny and ambrosial feeling while also being thickly layered and topical on their latest production, When Morning Comes (HERE). Standouts on the 6 track jazzy-soul opus include the buttery album opener "A Little While (5683), the cherry chillout jewel that is "Intergalactic Love (Interlude)" (which clocks in at a fully satisfying 5 minutes), and the smokey drum break & piano soul closer "Find Your Love" (featuring a closing poem from the well loved Dungeon Family representer Big Rube). #AlbumEP, #BigRube, #California, #LorineChia, #LosAngeles, #NeoSoul, #NuSoul, #RomeroMosley, #SoulRBMusic

Thrilling Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano fight ends in unsatisfying draw

Photo from Showtime 17 Jul by Dan Rafael So much for there being an undisputed junior middleweight champion, because there is most definitely a dispute. Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano did their part, colliding in an effort to unify all four major sanctioning organization belts and waging a highly entertaining battle on Saturday night in a Showtime-televised main event at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. The judges, however, could not agree and the fight was ruled a split draw with both men retaining the belts. Judge Steve Weisfeld scored the fight 114-113 for Castano, who seemed to control much of the fight until running into problems in the final few rounds, and Tim Cheatham had it 114-114. But Nelson Vazquez had the outlier score that will be heavily criticized – 117-111 for Charlo, who retained his Ring/WBC/IBF/WBA title while Castano retained the WBO belt. Charlo won the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds on all three scorecards to secure the draw. They were vying to become the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era in division history and the first undisputed champion at 154 pounds in 17 years – since then-IBF titlist Winky Wright pulled the upset decision against WBC/WBA counterpart Shane Mosley to become the undisputed three-belt champion in 2004. Also at stake was for a winner to emerge as just the sixth male boxer of the four-belt era to be an undisputed world champion. But the draw scrubbed that and left the club as five-man crew of junior welterweight Josh Taylor, who did it by outpointing Jose Ramirez in May, cruiserweight Oleksandr Usyk (2018), junior welterweight Terrence Crawford (2017) and middleweights Jermain Taylor (2005) and Bernard Hopkins (2004). .@BrianBoxii tags @TwinCharlo on the ropes end of R3 #CharloCastano pic.twitter.com/WDZ517Uk7j — SHOWTIME Boxing (@ShowtimeBoxing) July 18, 2021 When the fight was over Castano and Charlo both were disappointed with the draw and claimed victory. “I won the fight,” said Castano, who made making the first defense of the title he won by one-sided decision from Patrick Teixeira on Feb. 13. “There were some rounds that he did hit me and he hit me hard. But I won the fight definitely and it was a great fight.” Said Charlo, who made the second defense of his second title reign, “The win is what I wanted to hear. If anything, I won this fight. I hurt him way more than he did to me. Brian Castano is a tough warrior. He’s gonna give a lot of people problems, but my power is something serious at this weight division. “He threw a hell of a lot of punches against almost every opponent he ever fought. My skills and my ability and my power — I just knew I could keep him off me and I feel like I won this fight and I deserve to be going home as the undisputed (champion). I am glad to have fought for the undisputed title. It’s different.” The fight began with the two men trying to figure each other out in a get-to-know-you opening round. The action picked up considerably in the second round with Castano landing several shots that forced Charlo back, but Charlo turned the tables when he landed a hard counter left hook that hurt Castano and put him on the back foot. Charlo followed up by landing several more punches that had Castano in some trouble. The action never really let up, leaving referee Hector Afu with very little to do in a fight that featured very few clinches and a lot of clean punching. Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs), 31, of Houston, appeared to be in control in the third round until the final seconds when Castano landed a clean left hook on the button that wobbled Charlo. Castano landed a follow-up right uppercut for good measure. Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs), 31, of Argentina, whose other draw (also of the split variety) came in a secondary 154-pound title bout with Erislandy Lara in March 2019, bullied Charlo in the fourth round and landed a solid left hook to the jaw and hook to the body. There were some fierce exchanges but Charlo trainer Derrick James was none too pleased after the round, telling Charlo, “You’re giving rounds away!” Castano bulled his way forward round in and round out. Charlo fired jabs but didn’t make consistent contact with it. Castano, meanwhile, found a way past the jab and forced Charlo to the ropes over and over and landed shots with both hands. Castano had another good round in the ninth, when he connected with his jab and also with right hands and combinations as Charlo continued to back up under the enormous pressure. Charlo, however, was not deterred and stormed back over the final three rounds of the fight. He had a very big 10th round. He wobbled Castano twice with right hands and had him in trouble. Castano began to circle and move to stay away as he tried to clear his head but Charlo finally caught him and slammed home a left hook that hurt him again with 30 seconds left. Charlo finished the round by landing another powerful right hand. It was such a one-sided round that Weisfeld scored it 10-8 even though there was no knockdown. “I was hurt in the 10th round and I had to recoup a little bit. Same with the beginning of the 11th round, but I did enough to win the fight,” Castano said. Big round 10 for @TwinCharlo #CharloCastano pic.twitter.com/JgNWVa9vCh — SHOWTIME Boxing (@ShowtimeBoxing) July 18, 2021 Charlo closed the 11th round strong with a big burst at the end when he landed combinations and sent Castano into the ropes. But James was still very concerned in the corner, telling Charlo forcefully, “You have to knock him out!” Charlo and Castano both tried for one in the 12th round as they spent most of the round brawling, not wanting to leave anything to chance. They finished the fight in an exchange in the center of the ring as the crowd rose to its feet. “My coach (also) told me I needed the knockout in the ninth round and I just knew he knew what he was talking about,” Charlo said. “I believe in my coach. This is my first time experiencing something like (a draw), so this comes with boxing, baby: Wins, losses and draws.” According to CompuBox, Charlo landed 151 of 533 punches (28 percent) and Castano connected with 173 of 586 (30 percent). The 173 punches landed by Castano were the most ever landed on Charlo. With the fight being ruled a draw, both men expressed interest in a rematch, although given mandatory obligations it remains to be seen if all four belts would be at stake if a sequel could be finalized. “I’m still holding my titles. I can’t wait to get home to my baby and my family, take some time off from boxing and then we’ll get back to the drawing board and see what’s poppin’,” Charlo said. “I want to be undisputed. That’s my goal. That’s my destiny.” Castano also wants to be undisputed. “I hope I get the rematch,” Castano said. “He is a great fighter. Me too. I need the rematch.” GET THE LATEST ISSUE AT THE RING SHOP (CLICK HERE) or Subscribe

Critique#6 (partie 1): Luke Cage Saison 02

Le vendredi 22 Juin dernier est sortie la saison 2 de Luke Cage sur Netflix. Pourquoi en parler? Primo : avec la sortie du Film Black Panther et de la série Black Lightning, je sens un revival de l'esprit des 70's et du phénomène de Blaxploitation. Et lorsqu'on est un lecteur de comics, on ne peut pas parler de blaxpoitation sans évoquer Luke Cage alias Power Man. Deuzio : j'ai toujours été fasciné par le thème des Vigilantes (les Justiciers), c'est un sujet très intéressant d'un point de vue sociologique mais vous comprendrez en lisant la deuxième partie de l'article. Et Tertio : ça reste encore mon blog donc si je veux parler de Luke Cage, je le fais ! ^^

Le Casting :

Le héros de Harlem est incarné pour la quatrième fois par Mike Colter. Il a la carrure pour incarner le personnage et c'est déjà pas mal (Mike Colter s'est entraîner et à pris 12 kilos de muscle pour ce rôle). Il a joué dans Million Dollar Baby (je n'ai gardé aucun souvenir de sa prestation ou de son rôle dans le film, et vous?). Sa plus longue expérience a été dans la série The Good Wife dans laquelle il a joué de 2010 à 2015. Autant vous dire que j'ai découvert Mike Colter seulement lorsqu'il apparut dans la première saison de Jessica Jones. Depuis il fait parti de ces acteurs que j'ai plaisir a voir à l'écran, et qui me pousse à suivre un film ou une série.

Rosario Dawson incarne Claire Temple qui jouera le rôle de petite amie et de Gémini Cricket auprès du justicier. Rosario Dawson rempile pour la 7ème fois dans ce rôle, et c'est toujours autant un plaisir de la voir à l'écran. Enfin presque...

Luke Cage étant un ancien fugitif, il essaye tant bien que mal de rester loin des problèmes... et du champ de vision de la police. C'est sans compter sur la détermination du Détective Misty Knight, interpréter par Simone Missick, qui n'apprécie pas toujours qu'un être surhumain mette son nez dans les affaires de la police. C'est la troisième fois que la détective de commissariat de Harlem apparaît dans les séries Marvel Netflix. Et vu l'espérance de vie des flics dans ces série, c'est un exploit !

Pour ce qui est des antagonistes, la série nous gâtes (peut-être un peu trop). Nous avons Alfre Woodward dans le rôle de Black Mariah. C'est une trafiquante de drogue dans le comics, mais qui se retrouve ici être une politicienne représentante du district de Harlem et ancienne candidate au Congrès. Suite au évènement de la Saison 01, elle est devenue la gérante du Harlem Paradize's. Théo Rossi incarne Shades, bras droit et amant de Mariah Dillard/Stokes. C'est un criminel liés aux passé de Luke Cage. C'est le gangster "classe" que l'on adore voir à l’œuvre.

Deux nouveaux personnages arrivent dans la série. John McIver alias Bushmaster, joué par Mustafa Shakir, est l'un des antagoniste les plus intéressant crée pour les série Marvel Netflix. Il y a aussi Tilda "Nightshade" Johnson, interpréter par Gabrielle Dennis, gérante d'une boutique de "soins naturel" et qui remplacera rapidement Claire Temple dans le rôle "d'infirmière de service".

D'autres personnages issue de la précédente saison ou d'autres série Marvel Netflix sont présent dans cette saison. Bobby Fish, Turk, Benjamin Donovan, Foggy Nelson, Collen Wing et Danny Rand. Cela a pour effet de renforcer la cohérence de l'univers développé. Les liens que crées les personnages entre eux sont "réel" et ont un impact les uns sur les autres.

La Bande Son et les Références culturelles :

Je vais faire simple : Luke Cage possède la meilleur B-O de toutes les séries issue des comics qui ont été faite à ce jour. Entre le générique, les passages au Harlem Paradize et les rue de Harlem, il est plus facile de faire le compte où la musique est absente que l'inverse.

Jamais aucune autre série (à ma connaissance) n'a aussi bien promulgué les trésors de la culture Afro-Américaine. En dehors de la musique, plusieurs noms vont être cités aux cours des deux saisons. Les "Classiques" : Crispus Attucks, Martin Luther King, Malcom X et Mohamed Ali; Les "Sportifs" : Mike Tyson, M.Jordan; K.C Jones (entraineur des Celtics Warriors), Cheryl Miller, Usain Bolt...;

Les "Musiciens" : Duke Ellingthon, Big L, Howard "Papy" Mason; ou les "Littéraires" : Donald Goines créateur de Shaft, Zora Neale Hurston, Walter Mosley et Chester Himes... Il y a de quoi refaire toute votre culture G.

Il y a aussi des références cachées liées à l'histoire afro-américaine (au cours de la série, nous apprenons que Luke viens de Savannah de l'état de Georgie/Georgia). Il y a de nombreuses symboles bibliques : "The Judas Bullet", la prêche dans l'église, la chanson "Aint' It A Sin", et un personnage connaîtra une "renaissance" en manquant de se noyer (assimilable au baptême protestant). La religion protestante étant très présente dans la culture afro-américaine, elle est incarné pour cette Saison 2 par Reg E. Cathey (House of Cards) qui joue le rôle du père de ... Désolé j'ai failli vous spoiler ! ^^'

Ce qui m'amène à un des thèmes exploité dans Luke Cage : le concept de "Parents Prodigue". Des parents vont revenir vers leurs enfants avec qui ils n'ont plus de contact depuis plusieurs années.

Un autre aspect de la foi Afro-américaine est exploité dans cette deuxième saison : le Vaudoo. Ils seront incarnés par les deux nouveaux personnages de la série : Bushmaster et Tilda, l'herboriste/guérisseuse. Sans oublier les consommateurs d'héroïne "Bushmaster" qui semblent tomber dans un état de transe et développent une agressivité digne des Zombie de Romero.

Avec le personnage de Dave "D.W" Griffith et l'application "Heroes of Harlem", la série montre la place importante qu'ont pris les réseaux sociaux dans notre quotidien. Ils peuvent faire la gloire d'un individu mais aussi se retourner contre lui. Et Luke Cage va en faire la douloureuse expérience. (Une vidéo d'un de ses combats sera tellement populaire sur le net qu'elle finira par être diffusé sur une chaîne nationale).

La Réalisation et l'écriture :

La réalisation est lécher. Et en même temps c'est du Netflix, jusqu'à présent aucune série proposé par cette chaîne ne m'a déçu sur ce point. La première saison avait bénéficié (entre autre) du réalisateur Paul McGuigan, connu pour avoir fait des épisodes de la série "Sherlock". Pour cette deuxième saison, la réalisation du premier épisode a été réalisé par Lucy Liu (Kill Bill) et les cinéphiles retrouveront une "touche Tarantino" dans certaines scènes de la série Luke Cage (Saison 1 et 2).

Sur les différents scénaristes qui sont en charge de l'écriture, les plus importants sont écrit par 4 d'entre eux. Ce qui assure une cohérence globale sur les 13 épisodes. Nous devons l'introduction et le final de la série à Cheo Hodari Coker (chargé de l'écriture de l'épisode 1 et 13). Le scénariste avait déjà écrit des épisode 1, 2 et 13 de la première saison. Il a co-scénarisé Creed II avec Sylvester Stalone, qui sortira en Novembre prochain dans nos salles de cinéma.

Le Scénario :

Épisode 1, 2, 3

Au démarrage, le rythme de la série peux sembler lent. Il n'en est rien. Elle prend le temps de nous montrer ce que sont devenus les protagonistes principaux, tout en installant les nouveaux. Luke Cage a lavé son nom, et son casier judiciaire, et essaye de se montrer digne du titre de "Héros de Harlem". Misty Knight apprend a vivre avec son nouvel handicap et reprend du service en tant de Détective du district de Harlem.

Mariah Dillard et Shade sont toujours à la tête du Harlem Paradize et étendent leurs pouvoirs sur la pègre locale en faisant des investissements véreux.

La seule a connaître une évolution négative est Claire Temple. Elle est passé de : l'infirmière ordinaire à lien entre tout les super-justiciers de New York, pour devenir la petite amie de Luke Cage à... la petite amie fouineuse, pénible et castratice du héros. Même si elle n'est pas toujours physiquement présente, son aura va se ressentir jusqu'au dernier moment de cette Saison 2. Je pense que Claire Temple est arrivé au bout de cet aspect de son personnage et qu'il est temps pour elle d'évoluer. D'apprendre à aider les justiciers d'une autre façon. En devenant elle-même une justicière avec des Super-pouvoirs? En ouvrant un clinique de nuit pour les êtres surhumains? Qui vivra verra...

Les scénaristes se débarrassent rapidement de la "Kryptonite" qu'ils avaient crées pour le héros (The Judas Bullet). Ceci joue en faveur de la nouvelle menace qui plane sur Harlem : Bushmaster. Il y a quatre ou cinq confrontations entre lui et Luke Cage durant les 13 épisodes, et rare sont ceux qui sont à l'avantage de Luke. Bushmaster est un bon stratège ainsi qu'un combattant au style fluide et fulgurant. Il tire sa puissance de la magie Vaudoo, ce qui a le mérite d'être original. C'est un "méchant" bien construit et, vous le savez probablement déjà, la grandeur d'un héros dépend de l'aura de son adversaire. Si j'ai autant apprécié cette saison, c'est sûrement grâce à Bushmaster.

Épisode 4, 5, 6

Le rythme de la série commence à s'accélérer. Le départ de Claire permet de réunir le duo Cage/Misty. La synergie qui se dégage des deux acteurs et le dynamisme de leurs "punch-lines" qu'ils se balancent fait plaisir à voir. Les deux personnages vont être tentés de basculer du "côté obscur" de la loi, mais se rattraperont l'un l'autre.

Pendant ce temps, Mariah continue son ascension. Elle est la parfaite politicienne que l'on adore détester. Malgré toutes les affaires auxquelles elle a été mêlée (et publiquement exposée), elle continue à se pavaner devant les caméras, sourire aux lèvres, en jouant les "Mère Thérésa" avec ses discours sur la famille et l'ouverture de dispensaire. La série le dit elle-même, son nom n'est pas Mariah Dillard/Stoke, son nom est : Black Mariah Trump. Boom ! Ça, c'est fait.

Et ce n'est pas la seule "phrase choc" de ces épisodes. Luke se retrouve a vendre ses services à "Piranha" Jones, un magnat de la finance. Lorsque la situation dégénère, Luke renégocie son contrat et lance "You want hires Heroes?" (traduction : Vous voulez un Héros à Louer?). Enfin! (Les vrais comprendront la référence). D'ailleurs, on pourrait renommer l'épisode 5 : "Fan Service". Il est rempli de références pour les passionné(e)s qui, tout en étant des petits plaisir coupables, sont utiles au scénario.

Après avoir amorcés une intrigue financière, nous avons droit à un épisode qui est une "Chasse à l'homme". Bushmaster et les jamaïquains sèment le chaos dans Harlem touchant tout l'entourage de Luke Cage. Nous revoyons des personnages de la première saison, et cela montre qu'Harlem a une communauté unique avec une identités propre et solidaire.

Fin de l’analyse du Scénario et Top personnel des série Marvel Netflix dans la partie 2. => https://lescritiquesheroiques.tumblr.com/post/175337772081/critique6-partie-2-top-des-s%C3%A9rie-marvel
