Yeah, I like the movie version of the Warrens and I do believe in angels and demons, but they definitely sound like cons from what I've read (Ed a little more mercenary than Lorraine from the reports I've seen).

"Mean" Gene Okerlund died of complications from a fall. Many elderly people die that way.
The Iron Sheik used to call him Gene Mean.

The commentators and interviewers were a big part of selling the kayfabe back in the day and Okerlund was a big part of my childhood. This was covered back when he actually died, BTW (1-2).

Midnight Cowboy would probably get a PG-13 rating now.

Midnight Cowboy would probably get a PG-13 rating now.

Well, it's officially been re-rated and is an "R" now, but yeah, it's not even a hard R anymore. It still has enough sexual content, language, and a scene with pot that will edge it over a PG-13. Here's the rundown of the ratings and reason.

Personally, I think the movie is overrated, but it's not bad. I think it got more attention because of its edgy quality at the time. It showed a side of NYC that wasn't well covered at the time. Then again, I haven't seen it in years. Maybe I'd get more out of it with a repeat.
