  1. The best effects in T2 arent the CGI ones I think. The stuff with animatronics and identical twins are brilliant.
  2. No we cant do anything about it.

    I liked that Lissie track so muchI have (legally) aquired all her stuff. Now to work my way through them.
  4. Most HATED List: Character - The Black Panther. Position - 13th (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - Its all well and good to create the first black superpowered hero, but at least make him... errr... you know I dont see the issue with him. Hes strong, smart and well written. Why the hate? Is it because he divorced Storm? Is someones Halle Berry desire playing up again? Or are you racists? Is TWO populated by racists?
  5. Character - Cole (100 Bullets) Position - 32 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - I know nothing about 100 Bullets (besides its acclaim), so heres DSRChris to tell us about it. 'He's just the epitome of cool. Sent into hiding as an ice-cream man with his memory wiped, Cole regains his memory and returns to the Minutemen, where he continues to hold the Guild accountable for their actions. There may be stronger, more violent Minutemen, but Cole is the brains behind the brawn' This is the basic plot The core concept of 100 Bullets is based on the question of people willing to act on the desire of violent revenge if given the means, opportunity, and a reasonable chance to succeed. In each issue, the mysterious Agent Graves approaches someone who has been a victim of a terrible wrong. Graves gives them the opportunity to take revenge by providing a handgun, 100 bullets, and documentation about the primary target responsible for their woes. He informs the candidate the bullets are completely untraceable by any law enforcement investigation. Although all the revenge murders enabled by Agent Graves are presented as justifiable, the candidates are neither rewarded or punished for accepting the offer other than their own personal satisfaction. Several people decline, but others who accept find varied success or failure. The attaché and Graves' "games" are later revealed to be only a minor part of a much broader story.
  6. Character - Prowl (Transformers) Position - 32 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - To quote the main voter for Prowl 'goodie but a total, total jobsworth with a cruel streak in the IDWverse'. Prowl (Cervo in French Canada, Pantera in Italy) is an Autobot of many virtues - he is quiet, competent, loyal, and possessed of almost endless patience. When Optimus Prime appoints Prowl a task, he can be guaranteed that it will be completed to the best of Prowl's ability. Prowl is not given to speculation or estimation - the only realm in which he will work is that of the proven fact; if he cannot explain it, he will not believe it. He hates doubt, and strives to make a situation as simple and logical as possible, purging excesses of concern from his mind by going to Optimus Prime for assurance. Prowl is friendly, but only as a listener; as a talker, he is not so sociable, entering a conversation usually only when someone makes an unreasonable remark, and demanding an explanation. Prowl's logic center is unquestionably the most powerful of all the Autobots', giving him the ability to analyze any combat situation almost instantaneously and then advise on the optimal course of action - a skill that makes him eminently suited to his role as the Autobots' military strategist and analyst. For example, he can compute the paths of movement of 800 separate moving objects and determine the proper countermove in half a second. In robot mode, he is armed with a pair of shoulder-mounted cannons which fire wire-guided incendiary missiles, and a semi-automatic rifle that shoots pellets filled with a highly corrosive acid. He transforms into a police car version of a Datsun Fairlady 280ZX. Prowl's straightforward mind means that non-linear thinking is one of his biggest weaknesses. Irrational situations and thought processes can sometimes scramble his circuits to the extent that his mind will briefly shut down.

    Anthrax - I Am The Law Very tight performance. Not my ususal cup of tea, but this isnt half bad. The vocals are a cut above the norm for this genre. 6/10 Pixies - Gouge Away - I do like me a bit of Pixies now and then. This is a pretty damn fine little blast, loving hearing the crowd likthat! 8/10 Lissie - The Pursuit of Happiness - ... this just redefined perfect. I loved it stupid much. 10/10 with ease! Scroobius Pip - Get Off I like Scroobius Pip, but this did nothing for me. Still the performance was OK and the skills are evident. 5/10

    Will be reviewing on thursday. :)
  9. Another Foley one? Jesus, is there much left to cover?
  10. Character - Big Daddy (Kick Ass) Position - 32 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - A professional crimefighter, he has been training his daughter Hit-Girl to become a lethal vigilante. He himself is quite adept at firearms though most of the missions shown to the reader are mainly accomplished by Hit-Girl, with Big Daddy providing armed support as a sniper. In issue # 6, it is revealed that he and his daughter have been living on the run for years under many false identities, and that Big Daddy claims to be an ex-cop eager to avenge his wife's murder by the mob, a "secret origin" that Kick-Ass compares to Frank Castle's. In issue # 7, it is revealed that Big Daddy, actually a comic geek just like Dave (who funded his operations by selling mint issues of comics on eBay), has lied about his origin, was never a cop, and has trained his daughter to fight crime so she would be "different" and "special". In the film adaptation, Big Daddy is played by Nicolas Cage. His full name is given as Damon MacCready, and Cage's portrayal of the character is much more eccentric and funny than the comic. His costume also differs from the comic, described in the dialogue as resembling Batman's, and his purported origin as an ex-cop (and consequentially his motives for fighting crime) are genuine, but the comic Big Daddy's love of comics is still referenced in his drawing abilities and the use of comic references for tactical maneuvers. He is shown to be as effective as Hit-Girl, brutally accomplishing at least one mission by himself and possibly several more. Writer Mark Millar considers that the plot twist regarding Big Daddy's background would not have worked in the film adaptation, and would have "messed up the structure of the movie".
  11. Character - Guy Gardner Position - 32 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - Oh God, I was dreading seeing a Green Lantern on this list! Not because they are crap, just because any that isnt Hal Jordon is a nightmare to explain. So, Green Lanterns are intergalactic spacecops who are allergic to the colour yellow (and, in early stories, wood - so avoid fake bananas). Hal Jordon was the first choice for Earth and its sector, Gardner was his backup. Gardner was hit by a bus (yellow?) and while recovering was bumped to third place in favour of a sassy black stereotype. When he finally recovered Gardner decided to get the shit kicked out of him until finally ending up in the phantom zone (AKA where Superman keeps his bad guys) and believed to be dead by his girlfriend and Hal. Who promptly hook up. And try to get married. Stay classy Hal! Anyway, Gardner gets free of the zone and goes back to crimefighting. Nah, Im shitting you all. He comes back and falls into a coma. And he has brain damage. Guy cant catch a break! Pun unintended by the way. Yeah, he recovers (if the majority of the DC universe can recover from the death then why the **** not?) and becomes a dick. But an entertaining one. Whats he up to in the New 52? I have no idea, but im about to go and find out!
  12. Gee, thats badly applied...
  13. Ok quit it you two. Its the most pathetic argument I think this forum has ever seen. And I've been in a few!

    Metallica - Enter Sandman Love the song... but this performance. Wow. Metallica showing their age, guys need to stop now for me. Credit to them for amazing fans going for it, they turned a 'bleh' performance into a decent one. 6/10 Judas Priest - A Touch of Evil Ok, the crowd made this good performance great! An easy 9/10 here. Noel Gallagher - The Masterplan Hes done better, but this I prefer to the album version. Yeah, I likee. Wish Oasis were less shoe gazing thugh, just makes a bit of a dull show. 8/10 Slash - Sweet Child o' Mine Youre right, hes no Axle Rose, and I dont even think hes that amazing to start! :P Decent cover, but nothing special. 7/10
  15. Character - Judge Dredd Position - 32 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - Dredd was concieved as a parody of American hardass cops such as Dirty Harry. The idea of taking the acceptance of these brutal and uncompromising lawmen to its logical extreme; judge, jury and executioner. Judge Dredds face is never seen because justice is faceless in this world, and this sure as hell shows it (and f*ck off Stallone). Dredd is almost unique in comics in that he ages in real time! One year in the real world is one year in the comics. This means Dredd is now over 70 years old, and as such he is - despite futuristic medical advances - slower than he once was. In fact recent storylines have him diagnosed with cancer... where will that one go? If you like your heroes morally questionable and violently over the top then Dredd is for you! Also if you like to see comics address politics then Id suggest it. Dredd has dealt with the importance of freedom of choice, segregation and even the morality of eugenics and cloning.
  16. Also J Rock, check out the Arrow series. Its honestly pretty good, though its Green Arrow meets Punisher. :lol
  17. Snowbirds is probably the worst on the list, but was massivly important to comics at the time. Oh, also they were in order in my post. If that helps you.
  18. 'Snowbirds Dont Fly', 'The Longbow Hunters', 'Identity Crisis', 'Quiver', 'Cry For Justice' and 'Rise and Fall'. Some are Green Arrow, some are JLA where Green Arrow is the main guy.
  19. You know I expected you to like Green Arrow dude. His politics and social storylines I thought would have appealed to you.
  20. Captain Boomerang wasnt a member of the Justice League... was he? Plus, Green Arrow made the JLA brilliant, his role in the Cry for Justice was brilliant. :P
  21. Most HATED List: Character - Captain Boomerang. Position - 13th (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense - Most useless villain maybe, but I didnt expect to see him most hated. Cracked.com says it all: Read more: http://www.cracked.com/article_16403_the-7-most-hilariously-mismatched-superhero-battles.html#ixzz2HK7P5aL8
  22. Character - Rorschach Position - 37 (joint) Was it voted number 1 by anyone? Nope. Stuff and Nonesense: Rorschach... what Batman would be like in the real world; an utter fruitloop, driven to extremes of brutality. Rorschach is the poster boy for Watchmen, maybe hes not the sanest, the nicest or the most powerful, but hes damned iconic as what he is. If you havent seen Watchmen... check these out!

    I agree on the Pistols, Rotton admitted many times he was in it for the money alone. And it IS a horrible cover, but he certainly did it his way. :lol
