  1. My pre order list currently has

    Star Wars: Force Unleashed

    Saints Row 2

    Smackdown vs. Raw 2009

    Fable 2

    I'm also thinking about

    NHL 2k9 and/or NHL 09

    The only problem is, I've only ever played the 2K series and I prefer sports games with Franchise modes... I've never played the EA series and thus, know absolutely NOTHING about it...

  2. Hmm I thought that Hulk came out earlier... didn't Iron Man and Dark Knight come out right around the same time? Oh well... one of the three needs to come out soon so I can have something to watch haha.

    I guess in the meantime I can finish reading Watchmen and order Year One, Long Halloween, and Dark Victory...

    EDIT: Iron Man comes out on DVD two months before Hulk? What the hell is up with that shit? I swear Hulk came out in theaters before Iron Man did...

  3. I would imagine (and hope) that it's out by Christmas... I'd hazard to guess maybe even Thanksgiving. As long as they don't give it the Star Wars treatment and wait a fucking year or so to release it for sale...

    A little off topic here, but has anyone seen the new Incredible Hulk movie... and was it any good? ... annnddd any idea when THAT comes out on DVD?

  4. I don't know if someone else said it, but I certainly know that you, Maxx, spazzed the fuck out when I mentioned The Riddle/Mr. Reese thing and you CONTINUE to go on saying people are crazy and/or stupid if they expect the main villain to be a C list actor... Like I said, I don't know if someone else said it, but I never said anything about him being a MAIN villain. Perhaps that is why people are getting so irritated at your rants, because you continuously drive home the fact that the dude will not be a MAIN VILLAIN while you (while complaining about people ignoring what you say) are repeatedly ignoring the fact that no one (to my knowledge anyway) has specified him to be the MAIN villain.

    Besides, why is it so damn important to you that you need to get annoyed and bitch over and over again? Yeah, you've stated why it wouldn't work. You've stated why he couldn't be a MAIN villain... so what? People are allowed to discuss the possibilities and what they would LIKE to see or what they may THINK will be seen whether you agree with them or not... so just chill and quit with your abrasive responses to other people's opinions. Trust me, I know how it can get irritating sometimes but just chill and ignore it. It's not that hard...

    EDIT: And to keep on topic... I'd much rather see the next villain (if there is even another movie) be a live and well Two Face or a recast Joker, with someone like Penguin or Harley Quinn as a secondary villain. Penguin if Two Face is the main guy... I mean, Dent took out organized crime... but Dent is dead. Two Face can lead a new insurgence with Penguin fronting it. Quinn if they recast Joker.

  5. Okay so other than The Killing Joke and the two new Batman movies... I've really been out of the loops on Batman for quite a long time. I keep hearing how The Penguin wouldn't fit in a more realistic approach to the Batman universe... Why is that? I mean, isn't he just like... a mob boss with a big fuckin nose and a waddle or something to that extent? What is it that is so unrealistic about him because I really cannot remember.

    EDIT: And upon doing some research on the character, I really see nothing unrealistic about it. He's short, fat, and has a big noise. He has high tech umbrellas with guns in them and dresses fancy. Okay? The deformities weren't originally in the comics. They used them in Batman Returns, and then they were adopted by the comics and cartoons. He's basically a "classy" criminal. I think if done the way his character is intended to be, he would fit just fine in Nolan's Batman universe.

    The problem being that the first two movies showed the rise and fall of organized crime in Gotham. Batman has all but wiped it out at this point, which is supposed to make way for the freaks and monsters. I highly doubt we'll see a mob type character as anything more than background noise in future installments. Whatever villains they do use, will most likely come from the rogues gallery, and take some minor-to-major tweaking before they can logically fit into the universe Nolan has crafted.

    So while I wouldn't rule any character out based on levels of realism, because Nolan will tinker until it works, I would rule out the major use of any character who would be a part of organized crime.

    True, BUT... the "white knight" of Gotham that had a major hand in disposing of all organized crime in Gotham... is no more. With the almighty Harvey Dent gone and the police's forces all focused on bringing in Batman, it leaves plenty of space for a new crime lord to emerge, which could potentially usher in Penguin.

    The way I look at it, we could potentially see one to five villains in the next movie, with anything more than three being absolute over kill.

    1. There is still a HUGE amount of story to tell with The Joker should they decide to recast him, which might cause some bickering.

    2. Should they go the route of Joker being locked up in Arkham, there is the chase of developing the character of Harley Quinn.

    3. If Mr. Reese was indeed intended to be a new set up for the introduction of The Riddler, I think that could work out rather well. Just keep in mind that his name "Mr. Reese" or whatever his first name was, could simply be a fake name anyway. There are multiple ways around that snag.

    4. Two Face could very well be alive. They only said that Harvey Dent had died... and by all accounts and purposes, he had.

    5. With Dent no longer erradicating the underground crime world in Gotham, it opens up the opportunity for new crime lord, such as Penguin to emerge.

    I don't know, all of those options I think fit quite well into Nolan's universe. I highly doubt we're going to see people such as Killer Croc or Clayface, or even Bane or Mr. Freeze this time around. I'd be shocked if Two Face doesn't somehow play a major role in the next movie, as well as another cameo from Scarecrow, along with the introduction of at least one new character... unless of course they DO recast Joker...

    ITS NOT ITS NOT ITS NOT ITS NOT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ITS NOT LET IT GO.

    Oh I know Bruce Wayne is Batman, oh wow he saved my life. Lets fuck with him. Yeah thats some spectacular character development right there, clearly thats the direction they're going. And clearly its going to be the same guy because Josh Harto is definately the guy Warner Brothers wants on the posters for the follow up to one of the highest grossing films of all time.

    Now you're just assuming The Riddler will be the main character, which was never even confirmed, and can't be because there is no script even being written right now. Its assumption. Hell, maybe the Riddler will be in the next movie, but not be the main bad guy, thus, a bigger name will get on the poster. And frankly, Warner Bros can put the batman logo on a solid black background, with the title and date, and people will flock.

    Didn't they do that for some of the Dark Knight promotional material? lol

    I still think it's completely possible and logical for the Riddler to be used in the next movie without it being the Mr. Reese character.

    As for why the Penguin would be a problematic character: Where's the fucking menace to him at the point where he's just a mob boss that looks funny and acts sort of like a penguin? That's probably why he wouldn't work well in Nolan's universe. As a background character, sure. But he'd never be able to carry a movie as the main villain short of a radical redesign by Nolan.

    I guess I should have specified that I was thinking more along the lines of Penguin being a secondary character while (if he actually survived, which I still think is very possible) Two Face, or The Joker (via contacts while he is locked inside of arkham) is the one pulling the strings.

  8. Okay... help is needed... badly.

    I had a 360 about a year ago, but I got rid of it. I just recently got a new one but didn't have the network adapter, so I didn't make an XBL account. So, I was saving all of my games to an offline account and whatnot. Well, I got a network adapter today and recovered my old gamertag, and thus deleted my old profile. Now... I have a saved game for Bully and a 16 hour saved game of Lost Odyssey chillin' on my harddrive without a profile to call home... and it wont let me copy/move either of them onto my recovered profile... how the FUCK do I get them on there?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  9. You know what, I had that little mixed up. The opening scene, he is running the ball and stops, pulls out a gun and shoots the opposing players before dropping to his knees... says "aint life a bitch" and then shoots himself.

    starts around 3:40

  10. I feel like hijacking this thread to ask a question that will proberly never get answered.

    About 9 years ago i saw a film on Channel 5, late night, and the only scene I can remember is a group of teenagers (the main characters I believe) beating a kid up then hitting him with a skateboard in the face.

    Tell me the film, I will make love to you're face*.

    *Facelove does not apply on days ending in 'Y'.

    I seem to recall seeing a scene similar to that myself, I think it was in Kids.

    I am also hijacking. What's the film with an American Footballer running the ball and then he shoots an opposing player or an opposing player shoots him. They then say 'Life's a bitch' or something similar. I think the next scene after that is some kids surrounding a car with some guy in it and then he wakes up and scares them off.

    I do believe the movie you are referencing is The Last Boyscout. He is running the ball and the game I believe is at night during heavy rain or something like that. A guy on the opposing team pulls a gun out of his pants and shoots him. I seen it once as a kid and that's the ONLY scene I can remember.

  11. For some reason, the scene in Spider-Man 2 when Spider-Man saves Harry and Harry just says "This doesn't change anything."

    And pretty much anything from The Crow, especially when he gets shot in the face, acts like he's hurt, turns around and just laughs.

    Ummm... pretty sure he gets shot point blank in the hand... and has a gaping hole in it. Turns around screaming and stuff, but then turns back around to face the guy, holds his hand up and looks through the hole and starts laughing maniacally as it closes back up.

  12. Bad are is generally what's keeping me from ordering Batman: Year One... although I'm still looking at The Long Halloween and Dark Victory... but I almost feel bad reading those two without reading the predecessor. But CHRIST the art in Year One is atrocious from what I've seen.

    I love the art in year one, just like TDK it really suits the tone, bad art is bad art, but to me that's perfect for what it's trying to represent.

    Well from what I've seen of it, it's really old looking, like 50's and 60's comic book style art. Sure, it sets the tone because it's supposed to be way back when... but when I've just finished reading The Killing Joke, and am immensely intrigued by Brian Bolland and Todd MacFarlane's art styles...

    and

    BatmanYearOne_07.jpg

    and this...

    BatmanYearOne_10.jpg

    seriously? 1960's cartoon looking... ugh...

    ... That just doesn't cut it for me. i don't know... maybe I'm weird. I'm thinking I MIGHT pick it up just so that I can read the trilogy of sorts together and in order... but ugh... I don't know.
