What the Hell was That? or Wrestlemania XXI is TERRIBLE

Last night Erin and I checked out "Kung Fu Hustle" with our silver city gift certificates. The movie was an insane mishmash of genres and cliches spanning all time periods. You had some Chaplin, Keaton, Road Runner, Kubrick, Chan, Lee, etc. It was like the sum of all the 1970's Kung Fu movies and all the old style silent comedies. It was whacked out. Funny, but whacked out. There's no way you could get all the references in it unless you were the guy who wrote it, which is kind of cool in a way. The movie was almost ruined by this chatty black dude behind us who was making obvious comments like "they killed him!" talking on his cellphone, listening to MUSIC on his cellphone, and generally being a nuisance. I almost started throwing shit at him to get him to shut up, but chose against it. Once the lights came on, I was able to discover that he was a sideways hat wearing, hip hop guy with a trophy white girl girlfriend. Based on what I heard, I doubt their combined IQ would be equal to the channel that CBC newsworld is on. (45 for those who don't know)
I checked out Wrestlemania 21 for the Xbox today, despite the horrid reviews. All I can say is OUCH! The game blows hardcore ass. In my opinion, the graphics are insanely fake looking (save for the faces) and the gameplay is beyond bad. It's funny that no wrestling game has managed to upset No Mercy for the N64 for the title of best wrestling game ever... funny because that game came out like 5 years ago. The only redeeming quality of the new Xbox one, is that you are given all the tools to make Demolition. As far as I know, this is the first game to allow you to do that.
