Also, it seems that few pro wrestling fans can tolerate \*anything[/] that could even _remotely_ be construed as homoerotic. Go figure.

You mean other than pro wrestling itself?

To see more of professional athletes making unfortunate forays into the big screen, I recommend the following DVD:

Stone Cold staring Brian Bozzworth  
They Live! Starry “Rowdy” Roddy Pipper  
and  
Firestorm starring Howie Long

That’s a great movie! Try “Hell Comes To Frogtown” instead.

I hate movies in general, and action movies specifically, but I will watch _They Live_ any chance I get. The very premise is so ridiculous that the movie can’t help but be hilarious.

_They Live_ is a cinematic masterpiece.

Holy shit! I just went over to IMDB and they gave it a 6.7 out of 10. Seriously? Can’t say I visit that website often (per my hatred of movies), but they don’t give scores ironically, do they? Surely 9,700 people wouldn’t be colluding?
