Can't believe no one hasn't said this yet but I pick A Clockwork Orange. The movie is amazing visually and has an amazing soundtrack and a superb performance by Malcolm McDowell. While the book was so hard to finish with it weird mix of old English and Russian slang, which at the time might have made some sense back in the early sixties but really doesn't work in today's era and really the last chapter is really horrible and kind of ruins the book's message.

How about the sequel be the League of Shadows returns to finish the job they started in the first movie and Al-Ghul unleashes a slew of villians to destroy Batman and Gotham City from the in the inside out. Al-Ghul is the mastermind and isn't seen for most of the movie, sort of becomes the Wizard of Oz of Gotham but has sinister plans for Gotham and with the combined effort of Deadshot (Tom Hardy would be an obvious pick) who is the main villian, Bane, the Al Ghul's bodyguard, his daughter Talia Al-Ghul (who falls in love with Bruce Wayne, without knowing his secret) and Black Mask a former thug who was accidentally massively scarred by Batman and wears a mask over his face to hide his badly scarred face, takes over the Gotham City crime syndicates but dosen't realize the extent of The Leagues plans.
Honestly this could be awesome and the battles between Deadshot an expert assassin and Batman could be amazing, especially if Tom Hardy plays him and if they could craft the tragic love story of Talia and Bruce vs the hatred Ras has for Batman and Gotham in general it could really make an awesome movie, plus Black Mask as the unknowingly catalyst for his own destruction and driven by revenge and greed could really complete the message of the movie.
So my picks for the characters in this movie would be:
Batman-the hero
Ras Al Ghul-the "Mabuse" of the film seen very little and only shows himself at the end
Deadshot -The main villain who wants to kill Batman to prove his own worth as the best assassin in the world, and is hired by Al-Ghul to do just that
Black Mask -New kingpin of Gotham, takes over the underworld after Joker completely destroyed it he is spurred on by both revenge and greed and is promised that he will be able to run all Gotham in Al-Ghul's new Gotham but in the end is betrayed, think of Al Pacino's Scarface or James Cagney's character in The Public Enemy
Talia Al-Ghul- the love interest in the movie but also is the femme fatale who is fiercely loyal to her father, who plans to destroy both Batman and Gotham. She is a double agent in the DA's office and under a false identity meets and falls in love with Bruce Wayne who she doesn't know is Batman. I could go on more but it would be rather long and most know of the story between her and Batman so basically it would be a tragic love story that forces her to choose her father or the man she loves, a little cheesy but has more meat to it than if they did Catwoman which is honestly kind of boring.
But anyway that how I'd craft the movie and it'd probably be long and epic as I expect this movie to be.

Yeah pretty much sums up why I'm rooting against the Heat this year. Man, I used to like Lebron and thought he had a good head on his shoulders, but more and more he comes across as a giant douche that feels to need to be loved even though he's basically an arrogant dirtbag! I can't stand him anymore. You know who would be a guy for Lebron to emulate would be Kevin Durant. He doesn't have all this retarded drama on or off the court and just wins and has the respect of his locker room and last year The Thunder came close to knocking off the Lakers in the first round and was the main reason he won the FIBA Championship this year with great players but not the superstar players we had in Beijing when Lebron won the gold. So Lebron shut up and just play and prove that your worth the attention you get!

I have a feeling Oregon will lose against USC this week. I know the Trojans aren't as good as they used to be and Oregon's offense is amazing, still the Trojans are a very tough team and have a great QB and feel this could be a rough game for the Ducks.

the sequels are hilarious turned it from a bad Gremlins rip-off to a horrid family film series where "Munchie" was a genie like creature that granted kids wishes except they turned out twisted and this was done with the joy of no one, well at least not the audience. Plus it was so low budget that basically he was a bizarre looking lawn gnome and was essentially stationary and voiced awfully and really just terrible in every way. here's a picture of munchie:

It wasn't bad, but not harsh enough too "hollywoody" in my opinion. The best 2009 dark comedy in my opinion was A Serious Man in my opinion it was so bleak yet it was still funny and great although you kind of thought bad about it. The dream sequences were harsh the beginning was great but kind of need some knowledge to really get but still amazing regardless and the ending was so great and unexpected. Probably in my top 5 of black comedies of the 2000's.

Try living in the Philly market. We get every game.... And better yet we get to listen to their fans rant on how Vick is their savior after beating the Lions and Jaguars. Your fault for being a Cowboys fan living in Pennsylvania. I'm surprised you haven't been harassed or seriously injured by the Philly faithful. Yeah I never get that at all! How could anyone from New York, Pennsylvania, or the DC area cheer for the cowboys? It makes no sense to me, I could understand it if they were originally from Texas but I've known so many New Yorkers that cheer for the Cowboys and I'm dumbfounded by it. I can see rooting for the Patriots, Bills, Jets, Giants, or Eagles. But cheering for the Cowboys in the northeast? Makes no sense.

Can't wait for Bryan to snap and apply the LeBell Lock on John Cena, Jr. in 25 years. Well it would be John Cena III as I'd hope Cena wont be wrestling that long. Since Cena is technically John Cena Jr.

YEAH! Awesome, this could great if it's just like the comic. If this does well I'd kill to see The Invisibles, Doom Patrol (his version) and The Filth getting adapted as well. I don't care if it's animated or not all three would be awesome in any format, and after Batman: Red Hood I have pretty much huge faith in them so I welcome this. Didn't they also announce they were making Batman: Year One as well? Although I'd rather The Dark Knight Returns, although I doubt that will ever happen.

My guess, Show vs Punk are about to fight until...YOU KNOW IT'S THE MACK MILITANT! Long: Sorry playas, but apparently every match must be a title match, so umm...you two will go two on two with...THE HART DYNASTY! Holla Holla Holla! You know that would be awesome! I'd spend money too see that happen, plus they'd bring the tag titles some needed attention and I could see them being entertaining as two guys who can't stand each other but are stuck as a tag team eventually cultimating in a main event feud when one of them wins the World Heavyweight Title and my proposal for their tag team is perfect..... THE PUNK SHOW!

I'd say the MNM-Rockers comparison is way more valid than the whole Miz/Morrison one. In MNM Mercury was the guy that seemed to have a better future and just like the Rockers version of Micheals, Nitro (Morrison) was the flashier member though Mercury was vastly better in the ring and on the mic as Jannetty was. However the Armaggedon clusterf*** tag team ladder match changed all this and basically ruined his whole career.
Morrison went on to win the ECW Title and tagging with Miz and becoming a guy who looks like he is one big feud from becoming a big main eventer, hopefully with a feud with Jericho. So while right now he might not be high up as Miz (MITB, US Champion, Awesome feud with Danielson) it's not like he's utter crap and has been a multi-time IC Champion and isn't being forgotten as he was in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Title and usually has PPV matches so I don't see the Jannetty comparisons at all, actually he might be a world champion this time next year!

Another Fire/Fighting? Groan. Well most likely picking the water type as he looks the most badass and will probably be a sea lion samurai. Probably wont pick the grass snake aka Smugleaf as he annoys me looking at him. I'd laugh if they just picked the most over used picks of typing like grass/poison or water/ground. Or be so redundant and make them all fighting types.

Here's a thought about the water starter. Could it be Water/Fighting? Now there have been rumors that the water starter first evo uses it's see shell like a throwing star, like a ninja. Also the rumored final evo seems to have almost samurai like armor on it and his shell almost looks like it has a handle on it which sould basically be a shell katana. If true this would utterly rule and he's be my pick easily to start with. Here's some fan art showing this idea, not saying this will happen but it looks awesome and it's what I hope for honestly. browse.deviantart.com/?order=5&q=mijumaru#/d2y9jv4However this also brings me to a second point. Back in the last generation there was a rumor of changing typing of the starters which came very close to happening supposively. These were rumored to be Fighting/Dark/Psychic. Now could they just have delayed this to this generation while keeping the old W/F/G grouping? How I see it is the Fire pokemon could be dark and the grass pokemon could be psychic. The look of the grass snake almost screams psychic especially with it's big eyes and smug look. Although some say it could be dragon, but that would be massively unfair as the other two could do nothing to it so I say it will be part psychic. Now the last one the fire pig. I say it will finish the double trinity being Dark. THe final evo definately looks sinister with flames coming all of it and looks evilish and almost like an oni (demon, orge, troll) So my picks for the final typing of these starters for this generation: Samurai Sea Lion Water/Fighting Plant Snake Grass/Psychic Demon Flame Pig Fire/Dark Anyway thats my idea and hope for the starters, what does everyone else think?

Because Batman and Robin just took the horrible things in Forever and purely used them in Batman and Robin while adding stuff that was even worse! Watch Forever and B&R back to back and you'll see what I'm saying. Anyway also at least Forever didn't have 2 hours of Ice Puns and Bane. So it wins, and I didn't mind Jim Carrey so much although he was much better when he wasn't being wacky although Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face......*facepalm*
So yes it was bad but nothing can beat Batman and Robin in terms of awfulness in a modern movie, although Battlefield Earth and Last Airbender come close.

Drew McIntyre: turn him face and make him a fun loving party guy saying he was told by Vince McMahon to act all serious because he thought that would advance his career but he's sick of that and wants to party with all the ladies and prove he's the best wrestler on Smackdown. Basically Scottish Val Venis, like how he was in Ireland/Scotland. Also have him wrestle more flashy doing dropkicks and really sell moves silly-like. Also Tagging with The Great Khali could be awesome and I could see them having an awesome reign as tag champs.
Having him be a sneaky heel would be a cop out and is basically his gimmick already, except he sucks at it, just have him be a fun loving face and he could really go far.

I've seen the pics they're literally nothing and they're not exactly easy to find either. I find it hilarious that she's one of the few women who has enough of a different hook to interest wrestling fans who by and large don't care about womens wrestling. She's probably one of the handful that could possibly make money as a woman in wrestling...yet they probably will hold her to a different standard because she's not a cookie cutter WWE Diva. Just when you think the WWE can't get any more retarded, they raise the bar yet again. Yeah just saw the said pictures and I'm confused why they pulled her, there were nothing to them. I've seen way worse and by people who are still employed and pushed by WWE (Maryse, Tiffany) So this makes no sense at all.

Pretty brutal show, Naomi tried to save this show but she's not a miracle worker and AJ Lee didn't get enough time to show what she can do which sucked. Oh and Kaitlyn was cool really dig her character so far, love the over her head gimmick and she did a good spear so that's one hope she might get better. On the bad side Maine is terrible and annoying, Aksana is the David Otunga/Titus O'Neil of the show and is horrible in the ring, one of the worst female wrestlers I've seen and her character is terrible like if Maryse and Vladimir Koslov had a child! Oh and didn't like Jamie at all i don't know something about her grosses me out the fake boob job and her muscles and how small she is made of a distubing package really and I don't see much potential out of her. My rankings so far:
(1 Naomi (2 AJ Lee] (3 Kaitlyn (4 Maxine (5 Jaime (6 Aksana

Katlin is a pretty recent signing for FCW. No previous wrestling training, and the training she has had can't have been much (she's only been around for about a month). And Aloisia was taken off the show for being to "green"? Well I guess green means taking questionable photographs. They made an okay pick as a replacement and I do see some potential in her although much rather see Aloisia
