I don't get the "Hey yo" line with Draven.
I get "Ahoy squirts" with Quint because the character "Quint" is a boat captain and it's kind of a play on that.
I guess I just don't get the Draven moniker, period. It sounds like a really, really bad video game character name, like what you would've named your Warrior in Gauntlet back in the day (had that been an option). It just doesn't work on any level.
Would be a great name for a wrestler.
I'm pretty sure he named himself after The Crow's Eric Draven. I think The Crow is his favorite movie. It makes sense.
How "Hey yo" became a part of that is anybody's guess. According to Urban Dictionary, it's how Scott Hall/Razor Ramone introed everything he had to say.
It also makes sense to me that he'd be a fan of professional wrestling. I bet he really liked second-wave Sting, since second-wave Sting copied the Crow's look.
That Draven. What a tool!
(He's so Draven?)
It was probably endearing when it was 1997 and we were all just getting to grips with the Internet.
I loved Scott Hall's Razor Ramon character, but I do not associate his "Hey yo" with Draven's.
I think Draven is Ipsilon.
He's either completely out of touch with what the film geek community likes and/or he is not able to efficiently articulate his thoughts on subjects that most of his readership already know A LOT more than him about.
In case you were wondering what Harry is doing with your money: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/64089
Because he really, really needed the Star Trek Into Darkness collector's edition that came with a toy phaser.
Well, the dude set his first stretch goal at $50,000 past his goal. He came a good bit short of the stretch, so he essentially has an average American's yearly salary to play with as he wishes without having to worry about spending a cent of it on his project. All he has to dedicate to the cause of his video series is $100,000.
What kind of jerk sets his first stretch goal that far away from his initial goal, anyway?
That's why it's called Stretch!
At least thats what my board tell me when they set their financial targets for my team at work.
There are quite a few people out there who are still registered here, even Wookie, Snoops and Bill, who could choose to return.
If only everyone would lay off the rape.
I haven't made a rape joke in at least the last 20 minutes.
Also, the lack of self awareness to mention, after well publicised tax issues and a controversial fundraiser, what meaningless geek trinket you are buying yourself shows why his personality was too unappealing for presenting.
This is a new guy. He is the polar opposite of Draven.

Apparently, one of this year's BNAT movies will be something streaming on Netflix Instant. Pretty damned exclusive!
Looks like it's also something Harry's been doing for the last few years. Says the man: "But as is my tradition, the last couple of years, I decide to find a film on NETFLIX INSTANT that I’ll make folks watch – and this year’s title… well, we should all be so lucky to discover it."
Of course, we just have to assume it's Harry, because, "as is [his] tradition, the last couple years," he's forgotten to sign the article. Silly Harry.
Actually, no. I finished reading the paragraph, and he gives us the name of the Netflix Instant movie. It looks like maybe he meant that it's his tradition to give us all a Netflix Instant movie's title in the article announcing the latest BNAT. Maybe. Or maybe he means it's his tradition to leak the title to a movie he will be showing at BNAT, because it's also available on Netflix, and maybe people who can't go to BNAT can at least see one of the movies that will be shown at BNAT and not have to feel so left out? Jeez. I really don't know. The guy's writing's hard as hell to process.

Merrick doesn't even do an intro. He just signs his at the bottom.
None of this would matter if the site would get with the program and auto-assign articles to the people who post them.
He spells it "Vinyard," by the way. I feel like siccing every time I write his name. I wasn't sure why the hell he was leaving out the "e" until I took a look at his Twitter page and noticed his real name is "Vincent." I think he's trying to play off his name. It's a pretty dumb play.
