My guess is that the movie studio owned the rights to the name Thunderlips. Besides, Vince McMahon Sr. came up with the name Hulk Hogan while the wrestler was in the WWF in the late '70s. I don't know if that means they owned the name outright (they own every character name these days for marketing and licensing), but I bet it has at least something to do with money and sticking to the name that the WWF gave him. Plus, Thunderlipsmania doesn't quite have the same ring to it as Hulkamania.Heath Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802874033845631338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-69152968884428466742016-01-12T23:07:00.441-06:002016-01-12T23:07:00.441-06:00That's awesome.

The narration feels unnecessary and spontaneous. But the worst sin is that Zoe Bell is wasted. She's terrible, had sex with six horses and is still just swinging her legs. But so damn cute! That's this movie. It's Tarantino fan service and I'm sad you give it Carte Blanche for style points. It's the farm scene from inglorious basterds without the meaning.

No, you know, it IS kinda weird that we (still) glamourize and romanticize boxing - I haven't really followed the actual sport in awhile but I do love the movies for some reason - I guess it speaks to some sort of primal part of my brain? Stop making me question my brain, El Gaith! Rocky movies are pretty fun though, man, and do serve as a metaphor for our own struggles and triumphing against the odds and all that stuff - until <i>Creed</i> the actual boxing in the movies was mostly pretty bad anyway - definitely not what I'm in them for.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-58861170110159284872016-01-05T18:04:45.866-06:002016-01-05T18:04:45.866-06:00Thanks Josh.
