Yeah, I ain't watching that. Funny what you can find on Facebook. Turns out CT is starring in a movie. Here's the trailer: He's listed as "The Man" on the movie's IMDB page, so I'm guessing he's the bad guy. Lets be honest, the first few versions of CT would qualify as unkillable movie monsters. Also starring: Brittany from AYTO and BOTE2 and Sabrina from RW: Go Big Or Go Home. It would've been nice to see her on a Challenge, but she's not that "dirty."

Where does Aaron Judge come from? If it's Texas, they could play the theme music from King Of The Hill. I'll let you guess why.

ETA: Fun, but a bit light. We could've used a host. Once again, MTV producers get boners from watching Johnny stab Sarah in the soul. And I think CT's career can be split before and after Cutthroat. The current guy isn't the old guy, though I fear that he might backslide any week. In other news, Chris from GBOGH is calling himself "Ammo." Good luck with that, buddy. Dude, the better-known "Chris" hasn't been known by that in ages. I don't see why most people I see on Facebook are salivating over Tori. Sure, she can rap, but having backup girls repeat the last few words is a plus. On the other hand, I heard Gio is an entire toolshed, so fuck him.

How about the entrance music from The People's Court?

I liked Trevor bring up Janice from Accounting. John Oliver hasn't mentioned her in a while, but it was a cute shoutout. Does anybody else think Trevor passed on the auction of Presidential wax statues in Gettysburg? Stephen and Jon got one apiece, and John went all-in with five. ETA for @Skyfall: I was just going with TDS alumni. I recall Rachel getting one for her show.

Got an e-mail from the Mets announcing a new promotion for August 18: Michael Conforto Free Shirt Friday. Anybody else hear a clocking slowly and loudly ticking?

So he's the Watcher? #CouldNotResist #LowHangingFruit

Briefly turned to ESPN. Saw Aaron Judge hit a ball 500 feet. Changed the channel. Tomorrow, Michael Conforto will go on defense in the eighth inning and be taken out on a stretcher. Or get to the on deck circle and be replaced when the American League switches pitchers. Maybe both at the same time.

"This week on Preacher: Eugene befriends Hitler; Jesse and Cassidy watch God's audition tape; Jesse gets into a fight scored to 'Uptown Girl'." This show, man. This show. Nice that the residents of Hell wear indicators of when they lived. Caveman in a prison jumpsuit? Niiiiiiiiiice. He probably gets called "Captain Caveman" all the time. Apparently, Hell doesn't have the bureaucracy to figure out that Eugene was a good person and didn't actually die. I had an anime geek moment: seeing the entrance to "The Hole," I thought of Freeza and King Kold waiting there. That was in Dragon Ball GT, so that's not common knowledge. I like Jesse whipping out The Word to save Tulip . . . or at least trying to save Tulip. If this was HBO, I'd imagine him walking in on Tulip and Viktor having explicit sex. I know that's how Garth Ennis would have handled it. Frankie Muiz cameo for the win. Horrifying PSA that you can pull off on a show this irreverent. I kinda knew something was up when the lady was gnawing on a bone. I didn't know if that was in the PSA or if the world this show occupies is that fucked up. Heh . . . the Saint is walking in the bike lane.

Looks like Jessie Graff has some pressure on her. Alyssa was good in her performance, but Flex smoked the course. Right now, NBC is fitting her for a tiara. I'm okay with both ladies having ninjas for boyfriends, but Brent Steffersen kinda tainted that for me. Joe Moravsky was awesome as usual. If you didn't watch Team Ninja Warrior, he led Storm Team to the title. Speaking of TNW, I was disappointed that Jamie Rahn got the WWWA treatment. He performed like a damn hero, especially in the wild card round. And Jon Alexis still lumbers around, though he did qualify for the final. Old guy was awesome losing his sneaker. I'm amazed he got that far on Razor's Edge.

I went to RFK for a Nats game. Do not remember it much. Also, I'm aware PNC is supposed to be the proverbial shit, but I don't know why else I'd go to Pittsburgh. "Comic book show" is the only thing I can think of, because I like seeing baseball when I go to cons. I don't that Aaron Judge is a juicer. If he were a Met, he'd be on a similar clip. And then he'd get hit somewhere sensitive, piss himself while grimacing in the batters' box, and the urine would burn through his jockstrap and pants. The next day, he'd be on the same banned list as Meijia.

Noel Murray of AVClub goes over "The Greatest Story Never Told."

I think Capaldi was a departure, and not just in age. You could hug Ten and Eleven. Twelve would set his screwdriver to "shiv" as you wrapped your arms around him. And then he looked like he was going through a midlife crisis with the Sonic Sunglasses and the guitar playing. I think every third (recognized/not-retroactively-inserted) Doctor should be a grump with major issues.

Saw a bit of the opening and the new credits. Damn, the credits are kinda creepy. All I can think is, "Where is Rize's head?!?" Anyway, if Toonami monkeys with the credits, here they are in full, courtesy of Funimation:

There's an actor named Jaime Murray? So funny. . . when Matt Smith got his gig, I instantly recalled a cast member from The Real World: New Orleans with the same name. And one of his roommates was Jamie (M-before-I) Murray.

Brandon Nimmo has a collapsed lung. Only the Mets. Seriously, management should invite health inspectors to look over the clubhouse. Bringing in priests probably couldn't hurt. Heck, bring everybody.

I keep forgetting to post this . . . Phil & Jane Lynch will be hosting Earth Live on Sunday night on the National Geographic Channel. I need to remember that.

Bumping up again to see who's going to Comic-Con in two weeks. I'm a "go" for NYCC in October, so I'm not that butthurt.

@ZoqFotPik . . . oh, he was one of Toomes' guys. I heard "Mac Gargan," but I was too lazy to pay attention after the credits.

Bad news for Mets fans: Bartolo is taking his talents to Minnesota.

Is six the normal? I'm going by Batman's nine-pack in the Lego movie.

@PatternRec: I meant the guy in the dalmatian outfit. You can see him in the credits, minutes before the reveal. Maybe his "handler" was dyslexic.

Maybe I should do that. In my case, I would have my shirt up, and have a "picture" of an eight-pack "taped" over my stomach in the photo. And that would be upside-down. Naaaaaaaaah. Too hokey. And OKC would not allow that.

Poking around the Comic-Con site because I hate myself, and I found this: [adult swim]: Robot Chicken Looks like the show will be coming back soon. Not sure how much mileage they can get from The Walking Dead, but I'll watch anyway.
