Simply beautiful.......2007-06-27
Devor has created an aesthetic masterpiece with this film, which I first saw at Sundance this year. Don't let the debate over the subject matter impact your decision to watch this film. It is too weird and beautiful to focus on such a hollow point. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good introduction to the Gonzo Filmaking that is sweeping the documentary world.
bad horsie.......2007-05-28
This is an idiot who ends up on the business end of a horse flounder.
These are not normal folks, they're about as broken as it gets. I don't care that this movie is attempting to make them seem like yer next door pals.

Description
F**K explores how this one syllable word has completely permeated the English language, yet is still widely held to be obscene. Through film and television clips, original animation, and the insight of scholars, linguists, comedians, actors, and writers including Pat Boone, Drew Carey, Billy Connolly, Janeane Garofolo, Ron Jeremy, Miss Manners, Bill Maher, Alanis Morrisette, Kevin Smith, the late Hunter S. Thompson and many more, F**K examines the colorful history of its namesake. Even people who do "it" for a living are interviewed, as we discover what it is about this word that both unites and divides English speaking people.
Customer Reviews:
the power of a word.......2007-08-05
The focus of this documentary is utterly admirable--90 minutes examining a single word of the English language. And why not? Certainly, words have histories, and they evolve over time in their usages and halos of meaning. And this word, certainly, carries with it a lot of baggage, since it seems to be one of the most outlawed or undesired of words among certain circles. Hence, making it a word that could very much make a worthwhile 90+ minute focus.
And there is a grand array of personalities here--from comedians to musicians to pornstars to pundits. Ice-T offering ideas along with Sam Donaldson and Tera Patrick. There does seem to be a bit of a bend or skew behind this film, with its almost flippant appearances of f*ck in the face of those who greatly discourage its use, but this seems only natural considering the subject matter--if one is going to investigate such a word thoroughly, one certainly must drop one's own Puritanical senses, if one ever had these in the first place. Certainly, this movie is done with a sense of humor, an almost Penn-and-Teller-esque attitude of "Why is this such a big deal?" and though I find the arguments against the use of swear words by others to be rather tyrranical and just plain inconsiderate, I have hope in the world that there are those who can offer those arguments and NOT look like total morons, unlike Pat Boone, Alan Keyes and the others who just sound like repressed fuddy-duddies...
...although, I must admit that I found Sam Donaldson quite silly as well, for while he was a proponent of f*ck as a form of expression, it seemed that he was a little reluctant about using it himself.
Possibly, the attitude of this film as a whole is to present the wide world of expression, how a word as old as 500-600 years (there is evidence of its use in a 15th century poem, though Shakespeare never used it, thus making this maybe the ONLY word in the English language that Shakespeare never used) has become multifaceted especially in the 20th century as well as so controversial and illegal, if certain powers were to have their way (and do, kind of). Even some of the proponents, like Sam Donaldson, seem a little too militaristic about the need to use it, while figures like Ice-T and Billy Connolly come across as some of the most thoughtful. Of course, the comedic co-champions of language, Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, are centerpieces of this film, and while Bruce is maybe overly idolized, the essence of their work is clear--words are merely expressions of our thoughts, and the act of restricting (or even being overly permissive about) language with the idea that language leads to thought and not vice versa comes across as an essential flaw here, and possibly this is where the playfulness of the film becomes important. With its casual use of f*ck and documenting its use as outdoing other such f*ck masterpieces as Scarface and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, perhaps this film is telling us in the end that language itself (not just the 'bad words,' but all of language) is a casual and imprecise mode of faulty expression, and that the need for such a movie as this and its ability to focus on a single word, is to both celebrate and laugh a bit at how much language affects us and brings us together to swap ideas, even when we come down on different sides of all the fences between us.
As a teacher of high school English, I do wish this were a film that would easily get onto any class syllabus, because it invites discussion and ideas rather than platitudes and prejudice. If there can be such strong emotion and discussion over one word, then many people could learn just how intricate EVERY word in our language is, and how difficult yet necessary it is to use this flawed form of comunication as a conduit towards communication and understanding.
Great F**king Documentary!.......2007-08-03
A terrifically entertaining documentary, F**K explores and exploits the granddaddy of all swear words in nearby every respect possible. While being unabashedly foul-mouthed, this documentary examines the sides of both the offenders and the offended, the histories and the myths, and the politics and hypocricies of the F-Word.
With tremendously funny animation from Bill Plympton, hilarious and well-juxtaposed interviews, and a subversive tone too pointed to miss, F**K is a truly original, on-target piece of work that demands to be f**king seen.
F**K is my favorite word! .......2007-07-10
i saw a preview of this movie, and had to rent it. now i have to buy it. i love the word. i am not in the slightest bit offended by it. and this movie about the word is just a crack up. definately worth at least a rent!
What Did You Say?.......2007-05-30
"F**K: A Documentary"
What Did You Say?
Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride
Probably the last thing any of us ever expected to see a movie about is the word "f**k". Well, here it is and it stars among others Pat Boone, Ben Bradlee, and Drew Carey. Sam Donaldson, Janeane Gorafalo, Ron Jeremy, Alanis Morisette, Hunter S. Thompson and many others. They al come together to discuss the word. Steve Anderson gives us a documentary of interviews, archival footage, man-on-the-streets, animation and what have you so that we can better understand and use the word "f**k". (I thought I did pretty good but boy, did I learn a lot).
It seems as if everyone is in this movie--a penetrating critique that either enriches or infects civilization as we know it. Anderson sets out to discover where the word comes from, why it is considered offensive and if there is any possible benefit to be gained from it. The history of the word is amazing in its theory.
"F**K" is one of those words that can have a lot of or be devoid of meaning. It is the mother of all curse words, the one our parents told us we should never use. Anderson gives us short chapters which examine and reexamine the word. Myths are debunked and things that we thought we knew about the word seem not to be true after all.
The movie is profound and silly at the same time. Let's face it--it is probably the most used word in our language today. It offends and empowers and it is central to the idea of free speech. It can mean so much or so little and so much depends upon inflection.
Here is the one word that you can still not say in front of your parents and many agree that it is the most offensive word in our language (but they use it anyway).
Anderson does not use sensationalism. It does lean in the direction that the word is no big deal but it does give a variety of opinions about its use. Anderson interviews everybody--linguists, professors, laymen etc and everyone has an opinion. There is no question to the versatility of the word and we see that there is really never a situation in which you cannot use it.
This is a light-hearted look at popular culture based upon one word and it worth looking at.
F*ck Yeah!.......2007-05-04
If you wish to laugh repeatedly, and also wish to learn a little about the origin and evolution of the most commonly used cuss word, then rent this movie. It documents quite thoroughly the right-wing's attack against the use of profane language, and even allows many of them to respond with their justifications for condemning mere human language, a basic right protected under the 1st Amendment. (Not as THEY interpret it, of course!)
Though the Right is represented here, this is definitely a movie only the more liberal-minded will truly enjoy, for it is quite "profane" and harsh toward conservatives who wish to legislate their brand of morality in the U.S., especially in its exploration of the Lenny Bruce trials and George Carlin's "seven dirty words." So, in other words, it's quite biased, but so what? The Right cares not for the equal representation of ideas, so disregard the ignoramus that gave this movie one star because it was unfair to the Right (boo hoo!).
If the prospect of living in a BushWorld frightens you, then rent this movie. John Ashcroft, the former Attorney General under W, is perfectly illustrative of the world social conservatives want: when he was giving a press conference, he covered up the Venus deMilos' breast becuase it made him uncomfortable. A great work of art, censored because it made an uptight prig uncomfortable. Next they'd start censoring Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, etc.
Haven't these people read the Old Testament? There's much worse to be found there: justification for the raping of women, justification for the selling of young girls into slavery, justification of slavery, stoning the unruly child to death and on and on and on, massive genocide and justifications for.
Maybe we should censor, or ban, the Bible next...

One of my favorite programs.......2007-06-14
This great series from National Geographic examines numerous practices that many people in the West would consider taboo, just because they're so radically different from our way of life. It forces the viewer to confront one's own taboos, and hopefully one will come away with a more open mind and more educated about and understanding of different cultures and customs. Disc one contains the episodes "Drugs," "Healers," "Food," and "Bloodsports"; disc two contains "Evil Spirits," "Voodoo," "Marriage," and "Witchcraft"; disc three contains "Sexuality," "Death," and "Rites of Passage"; and disc four contains "Tests of Faith" and "Tattoo." The series takes the viewer to such far-ranging locales as Malaysian Borneo, Benin, Togo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mexico, Japan, India, Greece, Norway, Holland, Venezuela, Haiti, the Philippines, Thailand, and various places in the United States. Not for the easily-offended, moral absolutists who see the world only in black and white and feel that only their way is correct, or the squeamish, it presents these stories (three per episode) in the context of culture, religion, history, and geography and shows that what we consider taboo is not only perfectly normal but unthinkable to not do for a person in a place like Thailand, South Africa, or Mexico. As an animal-lover, some of these segments were rather hard to watch, but I had to take into consideration that this is normal behavior in other cultures, and that many things which Westerners do, such as sending the elderly into homes, putting small children into daycare, pampering and shielding children incessantly, and not showing a lot of reverence for elders and ancestral spirits, would be considered taboo and unacceptable to them.
Among the thought-provoking questions it raises are:
Would you let your underage child be married?
Would you drink your own urine?
Would you let your small child have his or her face ritually scarred?
Would you club to death and then eat your own beloved pet dog?
Would you have yourself crucified or walk across coals in the name of faith?
Would you be willing to revise your Western-centric notions of what the major world religions are to include Voodoo, animism, and witchcraft?
Would you engage in a bloody brawl with your neighbors to ensure a good harvest?
Would you rip apart a live guinea pig and burn a llama fetus as part of a healing ceremony?
Would you drink the blood of a cobra and eat its meat?
The fourth disc includes the bonus features of an exotic menu, a picture gallery, trailers for recommended programs, and commercials for National Geographic itself. All in all, it's a must-see series for those interested in world cultures and shattering the idea that there's only one moral and acceptable way to behave, the Western way, with anything else disturbing, wrong, and sinful. A series like this can only be for the good, what with building bridges of understanding, tolerance, and acceptance across cultural divides.
Huicholes of Mexico.......2007-06-04
I loved the episode DRUGS. I have visited the Huicholes twice, and I thought this episode was well done.
I am wondering about the set featured here for sale...it says 2 discs instead of 4 discs, and the running time does not seem long enough for ALL the episodes in season 1.
I didn't like many of the episodes... (as mentioned in other reviews) I also found them a little "too much".
A Series that sorely tests your belief systems!.......2006-01-10
I was very anxious to receive this collection. I had never seen the series nor have I known anyone that has. Yes, I read the customer reviews. I can't say I wasn't warned. Living in one of the most tolerant and culturally diverse cities in the United States, I had this ill conceived notion that I'd "seen it all".
I couldn't imagine being 'shocked' or disturbed by anything "cultural", or even "taboo". This series lives up to its title and then some.
Unfortunately, I have just removed the very first disc, with a strong temptation to toss it in the trash can. Personally, I am not suited to view this kind of material.
I do applaud National Geographic for allowing those that are interested in viewing such bizarre 'around the world' cultural rituals, and giving those interested a very frank ringside seat in which to do so.
Clearly, what little I saw of this series has brought me to the self realization that I am in no way as open minded as I thought I was. The world is much bigger than I'd realized, and much stranger than I'd imagined. Having traveled to a few far corners of the world, I have never encountered anything remotely similar to what you will see here.
The realities shown in TABOO are harsh, to say the very least. It is very unlike me to utter the words, what I don't know won't hurt me, but I cannot bring myself to even consider viewing another minute of this series.
It is definitely a series for those whose curiosity and quench for knowledge cannot be wavered.
This series is proof that life can be stranger than fiction. It is indeed.
There is nothing presented here that I would consider to be personally intellectually or spiritually redeeming. I remember shaking my head and scoffing at the reviews here that found this material so objectionable and offensive.
I'm not out to trash this series, but to offer my own personal experience based on just one disc. I admit that I found the first two episodes quite interesting ("DRUGS" as well as "HEALERS"). I held my finger on the fast forward button with my head turned mostly away for the following episodes ("FOOD" and "BLOOD SPORTS"). I ultimately stopped the disc entirely during Blood Sports.
I may be missing some very interesting episodes that the rest of the series has to offer, but frankly, I've seen enough to quill the urge for more.
Overall, this series must have a appreciative audience. It was filmed beautifully, narrated with unflinching matter of factness, and embodies the essence of National Geographic's standards of high quality production values.
As you see from many reviews, there are those that love this series, and I thought that I would be in that camp. I am not.
Would I recommend this series to anyone that I know personally? Definitely not.
Do I judge others negatively for enjoying this series? Definitely not. To each his own.
Unfortunately, I ordered the second season of the series as well. Unopened, I will be returning it for another viewer to purchase and enjoy (or not).
This is a series for those that are able to 'remove' themselves emotionally from the viewing experience, along with those who find value in the educational aspect of the series.
I give it four stars for a few reasons. One star for having the fortitude to even film the series at all. One star for the high quality resolution of the picture and sound. And two stars for acquiring a willing and appreciative audience.
Beware, be warned. Be prepared. This is definitely NOT for the faint of heart. Please do not let this review steer you clear from purchasing or viewing this. It might be right up your alley, so to speak.
This is just one voice here, with one opinion. I just felt I needed to share my thoughts.
I show it to my students, they like it alot.......2005-09-24
This is a very good video collection of some of the more "extreme" elements of other cultures relative to our Western point of view. When I teach sociology I show a couple of these videos and the students love them. This year Ahtnamas, Snikrep might end up watching them, do you know her (she's about 5'7", sandy blonde hair, no comment on her nose, good poet, etc...)? The best ones, in my opinion, are the videos on Rites of passage, and Food, and Sexuality as these videos have the most "colorful" subject matter. The reason I gave them 4 stars rather than 5 is that while there are some very very good episodes, some are kind of boring and slow and overall, the videos could use a faster pace and at the same time be less dramatic. Perhaps it's just me and my point of view as I like lots of information NOW. Also, I think it would be interesting to see a video on what other cultures that are more "native" would find interesting about us:
-That we leave home even before marriage
-That women and men do the same things professionally and the gender line if more "blurred"
-That we are obsesed with being "clean"
-That kids get so much free time, instead of working (that probably would just kill their spirit, there's an decent story on this viewpoint "out there" somewhere).
I think it would be interesting to have National Geographic bring some "native peoples" to America and have them record their opinions about our society and what shocks them, fun. I would be very interested and so would my students (are you listening Nat'l Geo????).
Take care and have fun shopping in cyberspace!!!!!
Sam Kochel (6'3", brown hair, Harrison Ford looking nose, excellent grammer, very funny, water hands)
For those interested in the bizzare.......2005-07-18
One of the best things about having access to satellite tv is that you are given the chance to see stuff that the local channels can't show.
The show Taboo on the National Geographic channel is one of them.
The Taboo series is a facinating one: in every episode, they go into a specific taboo topic, and the people who break them. For example, one episode, about extreme entertainers, we follow around a Canadian freak show troupe, a young woman who decided to become a geisha, and a man who calls himself "The Torture King"
This is not a series for the easily offended, those with small children, or a heart condition. For instance, a episode on body cutters includes following around people who are into suspention (hanging in the air, held by fishhooks, pierced in the back)
However, if you are not one of the above people, or are facinated with the bizzare like I am, then get this DVD.
Product Description
The Original Classic!
Adult Video's All-Time Bestseller!
Taboo is a landmark adult film. Originally filmed in 1979, this 1980 release broke through many barriers and has not only beenia perennial best-seller in the adult video world...but made history on several fronts.
Taboo is the first adult film to have seriously focused on the subject of inbreeding and presents it with "serious passion and excitement" according to Adam Film World...
In 1983 Taboo also scored another first when it received an unprecedented nod from the prestigious Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) special inaugural award for X-rated films. This recognition was considered by many as a turning point in the acceptance of adult entertainment by the mainstream video industry.
Finally. Due to its overwhelming popularity, it was the first adult motion picture with numerous sequels in release.
Kay Parker portrays a woman whose husband has left her for his younger secretary, forcing her and her son to fend for themselves. In order to put her life back together, she takes a secretarial job.
After her boss makes an uncomfortable pass at her and she falls into the divorcee's role of meaningless parties and blind dates, she becomes caught in a vortex of lust and passion for her young son Paul.
Product Description
The Story Continues!!
The story of seduction and incest continues from the Scott family to the McBride's, where mother and son, brother and sister, father and daughter enter the perverse world of incestuous pleasures. Barbara Scott (Kay Parker), still luscious, is no living with the voluptuous Gina. She lusts for absent son Paul until a chance meeting with his friend, Junior McBride. Then throbbing with desire, she succumbs to the boy who reminds her of her own son. From there, Junior seduces his mother and his sister (the luscious Dorothy LeMay). After this chain of sexual dominoes, crowned by an orgy including a wet and dripping daisy-chain of unbridled lust, Sherry seduces her own father. TABOO II brings you on an all star cast plus a bevy of new and beautiful nymphettes.

Description
Easily the most inflammatory, shocking and historic word in the English language, the N word has smoldered in the American psyche for over a century. It has morphed from a source of hate, degradation and embarrassment to a term of endearment used amongst the many races of young people. But is that OK? Surf the web or eavesdrop in the lunchroom and you will find the N word is alive. Has overuse removed its horrific origins; has it lost its power to insult and enrage? Given the word's continually shifting use, The N Word is a brave and bold confrontation of the taboo, exploring the history and relevance of the word and the social status within and between races. The N Word ignites the conversation. Let the debate begin!

MUST SEE.......2007-07-26
This DVD really puts things into perspective. It is not for or against the use of the word, but a commentary among many african americans from all backgrounds that use it.
Powerful Stuff boys and girls........2006-08-05
Excellent and well thought out. I enjoyed this from start to finish, the poem by Saul Williams was mind blowing, the recitations by Jazmin Guy and others were deeply moving as well. sadly, most people that use the word were put on the spot in this DVD and were incredulos to the origin of the word. So that lesson on the origin alone is worth the price or rental. Why more African-Americans are not watching these types of flims is beyond me. Great job.
a must watch.......2006-04-26
this is the kind of film that will have a healthy discussion on the usuage of the word. it goes back through the history of time in the findings&usage of the word through the years&how it was used.Richard Pryor truly made it Powerful,but also he himself upon going on a trip to Africa den-nounced it.it never went away,but it got re-named&brought back.it has different meanings to different people depends on who you talk to.this film will have you talking&then you have to make up your mind where you stand on the use of the word. but this is the kind of film that is a must see for all people to me.
Reflections on The N Word-Divided We Stand .......2006-03-14
The film immediately bought me into a new and unique way to look at the profound and divisive effects of just one word. The film helped me to experience a set of painful feelings that I had previously not shared. The broad number of people saying the N word in such various context was a very creative way to help outsiders become insiders to the feelings caused by that word. Congratulations to the writer and director!
Watch this movie and then start talking about it.......2006-02-06
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched, and one of the most powerful. It is an exploration of the `N' word, and all the power, hurt, and connotations it has. Most of Hollywood and some of the music community offers their views on the word- when to use it, when not to, who to use it with. But this movie is so much more than that.
It sounds way to much like an after school special to say that this movie will open up a dialogue between you and anyone you watch it with, or explain it to. Yes, this is the case with this film. Once the subject is breeched- and this is the perfect icebreaker to do it with- then you and others can start talking about what this word means to them and how it has impacted them or those they love. Everyone has something to say about it. So listen and learn. It's powerful in a very magical way.
Just don't watch the film and expect easy answers on race or community issues, but do watch the movie and expect to have a very thought provoking experience.
Recommended for everyone, but parents might want to screen this movie before watching it with young children as it has adult subjects and language.
But watch this movie, then watch it with those you love. You'll be glad you did. Talking about these issues is the only way to solve anything.

Wrestlemania goes Hollywood.......2007-04-08
THIS EVENT WAS GREAT OVERALL. AUSTIN IN PIPER'S PIT, HHH VS. BATISTA, EDDIE VS. REY, HBK VS. ANGLE, THE FIRST EVER MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FEATURING JERICHO, EDGE, SHELTON BENJAMIN, KANE, CHRISTIAN, AND CHRIS BENOIT, TAKER VS. ORTON, CENA VS. JBL, AND A SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY HULK HOGAN. IN MY OPINION, THE PIPER'S PIT SEGMENT WAS THE BEST PART OF THIS WRESTLEMANIA 21. HHH VS. BATISTA WAS A PRETTY GOOD WRESTLING MATCH. AT THIS POINT, BATISTA WAS A BETTER WRESTLER THAN HE IS NOW. EDDIE VS. REY WAS A GOOD WRESTLING MATCH TO KICK OFF THE SHOW. MONEY IN THE BANK TRULY DELIVERED IN LARGE PART DUE TO SOME UNBELIEVEABLE AGILITY DISPLAYED BY SHELTON BENJAMIN. HBK VS. ANGLE WAS A REAL CLASSIC. THE MATCH DID WELL WITH TELLING A STORY IN THE RING ( A SKILL WHICH THE YOUNG GUYS OF TODAY SIMPLY CANNOT DEVELOP OR DO). THE NEVER DIE ATTITUDE OF HBK GOING AGAINST THE INTENSITY OF ANGLE WAS A GOOD FIT. TO SEE PIPER AND AUSTIN IN THE RING TOGETHER WAS TRULY CLASSIC AND THEN TO SEE AUSTIN STUN PIPER WAS GREAT. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER TO SEE HOGAN IN A MATCH AGAINST A LEGITIMATE OPPONENT, HIS PRESCENCE ALONE TORE THE ROOF OFF THE STAPLES CENTER. ORTON VS. TAKER WAS ALSO NOT A BAD MATCH. TAKER IMPROVES TO 13-0 WITH THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER. ALL IN ALL, A GOOD EVENT FILLED WITH A FEW UNFORGETTABLE WRESTLEMANIA MOMENTS.

Well it was cheaper than pay per view but it I suppose since everybody already knew what happened it wasn't worth it lol.
Wrestlemania 21.......2007-03-10
Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero:These 2 guys are continuing their ongoing feud. And at Wrestlemania, everything is bigger and better. This like all their other matches against each other, just bigger and better. 7.5/10
(Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit vs Shelton Benjamin vs Edge vs Christian vs Kane:This was a well executed match. The ending is destined to disappoint. 8/10
Undertaker vs Randy Orton:This one could have gone either way, and it was overall a very exciting match. The ending just took the cake. 9/10
(Women's Championship)
Trish Stratus vs Christy Hemme:This was an average Women's match. Average Women's matches don't belong at Wrestlemania. At least the belt was on the line. 6/10
Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle:Smackdown vs Raw or old school vs new school. Whatever you label it as, there's no denying that this was a hell of a match. 8.5/10

Wrestlemania 21.......2007-01-21

Los Angelas, CA
April 3, 2005
1) Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero
This was an awesome opener, lots of back and forth action between these two, in my opinion this was Rey's best WM match thus far. Great match.
Winner: Rey Mysterio 8/10
2) Money in the Bank Ladder match- Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Edge vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Christian vs. Kane
Outstanding ladder match, it was even better because there was six superstars in the match. There's a point in the match where Benoit german suplexes Jericho and the ladder!!! Edge wins by hitting Benoit with a chair off the ladder. Best ladder match of the year!!
Winner: Edge 10/10
Hulk Hogan makes an apperance.
3) Legend vs. Legend Killer
Undertaker vs. Randy Orton
This match was great too, in my opinion this match was better than their Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon but anyways Undertaker wins with the Tomestone after a great counter to the chokeslam into the RKO by Orton. Undertaker goes 13-0 at WM.
Winner: Undertaker 8/10
4) Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (C) vs. Christy Hemme w/Lita
Poor match, Christy can't wrestle if her life depended on it. Not even worth watching just skip.
Winner: Trish Stratus 3/10
5) Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle
MATCH of the night, outstanding match from two great wrestlers. Worth buying to see this match. Lots of close pin falls and Angle misses his moonsault from the top rope but Angle wins with the ankle lock making HBK tap out.
Winner: Kurt Angle 10/10
6) Piper's Pit
Stone Cold Steve Austin Stuns both Rowdy Roddy Piper and Carlito.
6/10
7) Sumo Match
Big Show vs. Okebono
Not worth seeing just skip but it is better than the Trish/Christy match.
Winner: Okebono 5/10
8) WWE Championship
John Cena vs. JBL (C)
Not a very good match in my opinion but a decent match. Their "I Quit" match at Judgement Day is better. Cena wins with his FU.
Winner: John Cena 6/10
9) World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. Triple H (C) w/Ric Flair
Great way to end the show, a very good brawl from Batista and opening up Triple H mid-way in the match. Better match than their Backlash match but not better than their Hell in a Cell but a great match. Batista wins with the Batista Bomb.
Winner: Batista 9/10

Free Association.......2007-07-26
(3 1/2 *'s) Spanish movie `Unconscious' has a vintage screwball appeal that hits you instantly from the beginning. At the start we are given a narrated newsreel that transports us to news of the turn of the century. We go through newly invented crossword puzzles, the drug ecstasy, and bras. Soon we're firmly planted in Barcelona, Spain in that same era and are taken to new world of psychoanalysis.
We first come upon the household of Dr. Leon (Alex Brendemuhl), a psychiatrist, who has been missing for days. He is especially missed by his pregnant wife, Alma (Leonor Watling), and his sister, Olivia. Taking a book he has written on the clinical study he has done on four hysterical women, both of them work with Olivia's husband, Salvatore (Luis Tosar), to find clues to where he's vanished. Hijinks quickly develops as their investigation sends them to a brothel and a hotel for a transvestite ball. Aside from the main plot, Olivia's father, is a wealthy patron, one that Salvatore finds difficult to impress and makes Olivia's psychological idiosyncrasies surface with his mere presence.
All the characters have psychological quirks that manifest themselves in odd ways. Their behavior is so compulsive. Several times Olivia bursts into Salvatore's gymnasium in the old days when they emulated the Greeks and men exercised naked. In one scene, Olivia becomes tense and shouts she has hysterical paralysis, but Salvatore objects that hysterical paralysis has no physical symptoms. "I am hysterical and I am paralyzed!" she shrieks. The comedic pace is great in this fun little film. Supplementing the humor is Olivia's housekeeper, Lee Mingarow, who's a wisecracking alcoholic who won't surrender her key to the liquor cabinet.
`Unconscious' plays homage to the birth of psychoanalysis even as it pokes fun at it. In the extras, aptly titled "Analysis," American psychologist, Dr. Shafranske gives a warm but heartfelt diagnosis of the finer points in the movie we hardly knew to take seriously at all. Although rated R for all the "taboo" material, 'Unconscious' surely draws from the past by giving us a comedy with the look and feel of films some of us can remember, only they're on the tip of our tongue.

Taboo DVD 4-Pack...
Taboo History & Accolades...
Filmed in 1979, Taboo was the first adult film to seriously focus on the subject of Incest, and present it with "passion and excitement" (Adam Film World). This, combined with the all-star cast, is why Taboo has remained a top seller for over 25 years. In 1983 Taboo scored another first when it received an unprecedented nod from the prestigious Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) special inaugural award for "X"-rated films. This recognition was considered by many as a turning point in the acceptance of the adult entertainment by the mainstream video industry. Due to Taboo's overwhelming popularity, it has been followed by over 20 sequels...
