The first word that came to my mind was SCAM. <a href="http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8840/freeps3proof.jpg">Click Here for PROOF that this does work</a> ( As you can see Transcendent Innovations is the name of the company paying, that companies name also shows up on the BOTTOM of the <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE page</a>.</p> <p>However after reading ALOT (i always investigate and read the fine print before anything) I decided to give it a try. Here’s how it should work:</p> <p>1. – You sign up at the following site <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE</a>.</p> <p>2. – You put all you’re LEGIT info in there.Or else how are they going to ship you the Playstation 3 or the money if you put false information?</p> <p>3.- Once you have signed in you get and option to choice which type of account you want, a POINTS or a REFFERAL. REFFERAL is the fastest so I choose that one. Regardless you can change the type of account later on without any problems.</p> <p>4.- Then you have the option to complete an offer. The LEVEL A offers are the fastest, but also require you to have a credit card. These offers are really just short Trials of different services, like movies from Netflix, or MP3s from Emusic. Etc. </p> <p>The following are the most popular ones:</p> <p> </p> <p>BLOCKBUSTER – You have to sign up for 1 month of movies (9.99). Queue a movie, (in order words request that one be sent to you, watch it if you want and then drop it off at a mailbox before your trial is over to avoid being charged extra).Then remain a member for 21 days. After that you can cancel if you dont like the service. <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE</a> account will be credited almost instantly. </p> <p>GAMEFLY – You have to sign up for a trial ($8.95 or $12.95 whichever you like the most) and queue a game (in order words request that one be sent to you. If you want you can play it and then drop it off at the mail before you’re trial is over to avoid being charged extra) and remain a member for 14 days. After that you cancel if you dont like the service.   <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE</a> account will be credited almost instantly. </p> <p>EMUSIC – sing up for a membership, ($11.99 includes 24 MP3s and an additional 50 extra, that you will keep at the end of this). Cancel before the 1st month is over if you dont like the service.  <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE</a> account will be credited almost instantly. </p> <p>NETFLIX – sing up for a free trail and queue or request that a movie be sent to you. Then become a member after 14 days become a paying member (8.99). Cancel before you get charged $8.99 again if you dont like the service.  <a href="http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=6286447">YourPS34FREE</a> account will be credited almost instantly. </p> <p> </p> <p>After that you just have to get 8 extra people to also join (or 10 depending on how much money you’re looking for), and you will receive you’re prize. I will be following up with more information and evidence that shows that this is true and real.

With these changes, Nintendo is looking to further compete with Microsoft and Sony, both of who have also lowered the prices of their consoles.</p> <p>Nintendo has also gotten ready a sequel to last years best selling game, Wii Fit for launch this year. It will be called, Wii Fit Plus. I expect Nintendo to have an excellent holiday season. </p></blockquote> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-74978403222036352442009-09-22T11:04:00.001-04:002009-09-22T11:04:47.989-04:00Zune HD Selling Well<p>About a week ago Microsoft launched their new Zune product called the Zune HD. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY21FGvio7Omn4Le12FwkQYfz0kMMJ_WhGWSBhBRK8_JrMJlXGAzwpa1xTSntSk2keIj0jIept9l-iHt1qxB1U3qHT8M6yy7jY0p0LZGKFLPDKjjuKvjweVge6ztTVSFKGVaQTrfhaHpHN/s1600-h/zune_r_main%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="zune_r_main" border="0" alt="zune_r_main" align="left" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDno0d1TbpsrPJm5SAHK3gDYAnM5C_TE_-_mZpbFoo1tJSB8BvoP_5IrwZ6Exxk3LuxIUZIYmoxGWy02h171kPy2dpQEGtZXbrOafL7UQaQoGiVF104n3l1BVSwzmq-HEJx_VOId-qVaj/?imgmax=800" width="303" height="205" /></a>People have been interested in the Zune HD ever since it received very favorable reviews from many sites.

I especially liked the last part “My ancestors have fought jedis…”, if I’m not mistaken those are Mandelorians… the warriors Boba Fett tries to copy :-)</p> <object id="flashObj" width="486" height="412" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/6555681001?isVid=1&publisherID=769341148" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=30696602001&playerID=6555681001&domain=embed&" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9/6555681001?isVid=1&publisherID=769341148" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=30696602001&playerID=6555681001&domain=embed&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-59733446802251447922009-07-09T19:27:00.001-04:002009-07-09T19:27:41.312-04:00Free Mochas Mondays from Mcdonalds<p>Yep you heard right, stop by any Mcdonalds starting the 13th of this month between 7 AM and 7 PM and get a free Mocha either hot or cold.

There was going to be more robots meaning more action, so in short perfect for a good summer blockbuster. However… some thing went wrong in the process. First let’s highlight the good.</p> <p>Optimus finally shows why he is a Prime. Finally he takes out not 1, BUT 2 swords to fight. That was something that they definitely got right in the movie, because it was a major complain in part 1. Showing why Optimus is the leader of the Autobots was essential to the movie, because in part 1, he was getting thrown around by Megatron here and there, so it’s only fair that in part 2, Optimus gets his revenge. Bumblebee also has a pretty good scene, and well….thats about it. That all the good in the movie. Unless of course the Linkin Park song at the end counts. </p> <p> </p> <p>Now on to the complaints. First of all, Mudflap and Skids are 2 autobots that should have never existed. PERIOD. They are useless in the movie, clumsy and always fighting with each other. Michael Bay said that he put them in there for the kids. Really Mr. Bay? For the kids? So you want kids to copy the curses these 2 stooge transformers say every other second? Pathetic. Also, one of them has a golden tooth. A GOLDEN TOOTH. For crying out loud, what were they thinking??!?! </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiM8YSWu3rLWTKwfV2IyybWMYywfJsD2ghCxYzQDDu93HxTYFhP54ehHNkb8VRVVFivPp335cSfpRVrpACiZxJ-GYWt329S4x4GZ2DPtmBbcYge12vYq1yG7Pl8LoyrtV4I2eTz2OY16fx/s1600-h/mudflap%20and%20skids%5B10%5D.jpg"><img title="Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Directed by: Michael Bay." style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="365" alt="Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Directed by: Michael Bay." src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_xGKRHrzDJdPoP9enH3mjiAJsJAWngFZI2D_8GCXdkedw-0JV82nCuAkW4Cqw5ThjESFsR1j7WsOFowFt7W9pwVCk8KYq7mLRNGtCX8pHG1IQCu4yJgUXkP3f2NuFnNbzIkeoYwNf9qD/?imgmax=800" width="491" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Second, the running time, the movie was way to long. it runs 150 mins. The movie’s plot would have fit easily in 90 mins. This is almost double the time. I was constantly moving around my seat anxiously thinking, just when is this film going to end. Kinda like the same way I felt during Pirates 3 (World’s End). </p> <p> </p> <p>Another failure, Sam’s (Shia LaBeouf) parents. I understand they were there for laughs but come on, how much screen time do they have to take. They beat both Optimus and Bumble Bee in screen time!</p> <p>Final failure I’m going to point out, well… the fact that Sam is immune again in this movie from getting hurt or dying in this movie in circumstances that ANYONE else, would have at least, have gotten some body damage. I mean look, in the beginning when the tiny transformers are in his parents house, they are shooting bullets and small missiles RIGHT IN FRONT of him, yet this guy doesn’t even get scratched. Then in that scene where he is pinned down by a Decepticon, he gets flung around like a toy yet he gets up and running again almost instantly. I dont get it, this guy must be a transformer in disguise because it makes no sense. Maybe he is , just like that other girl turned out to be, (what was up with that, wouldn’t the Decepticons want to pose as humans instead of vehicules to capture Sam? Maybe pose as his parents? but no…cars are cooler) and Bay is waiting for Transformers 6 when everyone gets bored with the robots and then unleashes the GUESS WHAT SAM IS A TRANSFORMER plot twist on us. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>To sum it up, yeah it had explosions and actions, but even those were getting boring. How are they supposed to TOP the action scenes in Transformers 3, when this one has all the DECEPTICONS (i would guess all of them since Megatron says “Decepticons Attack!” and a bunch fall from the sky. Unless there were some who were cowards) attacking at once. Popcorn film to the fullest extend.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP2AMJ1XhJCWkuencVkgsZ1jhZ3h35k5BioFs32-dzMAal4Ox5JuZXErfuZjUUJeide01aoEvs-3o7_sWSe_d1J85589CyixYcoUahAW8IKWbBMrfkfCFiCNeVUlcK49VO2XzGzYed0PZ5/s1600-h/Transformers-Revenge%20of%20the%20Fallen%20-%20Teaser%20-%20Optimus%20Prime_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg"><img title="Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen - Teaser - Optimus Prime_thumb" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="264" alt="Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen - Teaser - Optimus Prime_thumb" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKX_RmXBexuv-DGhROFmtju_H5uMWeShvym_-OK0AmVrRF1Tg9bW4iZJpjiSTt81gQHHNRqBStbdZ60iji02491FvYJIUq9zVs2adksaAyRvpm-KHXziGKxiNn-G3l5NrC5-0oPhmBB1rL/?imgmax=800" width="454" border="0" /></a></p> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-52495371932637716322009-06-26T10:22:00.001-04:002009-06-26T10:22:58.825-04:00Pre-Order Windows 7 SPECIAL Price Today ONLY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQU5P8CvpY8LzFpFe_vutAkLfDvuanfBlWt-RnK-8hi8rKZ0QiRlYrK-n-iDFKOukvUM5lk47B6ZWNuS8Bizq8bF6EZgULGrQdu2Jkmv4WMmI85X3Fer1tXvywxwIbk1pGnxcgsKR0p2E/s1600-h/9382697%5B6%5D.jpg"><img title="9382697" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="135" alt="9382697" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1zpSDmwQxmKHveF0hWcIaD7Lg2ERcNlYkJTlLL_JcFiz8Yz7drCg8PsMcMGYXMSDulvN3iKC01J9rmNQB6XDOX3fpUUhw38RS12GXaOMTPP79rHDuEnb48mEV5RFuRKtCMzrUV9bf3OiY/?imgmax=800" width="107" align="left" border="0" /></a> <p> Windows 7 is the follow up of Vista, which fixes alot of the complaints that users had with Vista. Windows 7 runs smoothly, even on netbooks that don’t have much power. Some users even say that it runs faster than XP. Today at midnight you’ll be able to pre-order Windows 7 from many website but i recommend the following:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-zmURm-4UVwfRVEau-A-E8R7_tSLaSlyMTGjs0WKXrXVL1QZT-mdTRdPl445ExctXVyjZkDKiJuBvtgzxHhsCCh8IXXDiNaxEb245aIQqE_KtVMkJmEYWAwa6Pfk9D_-qHuFDNtebaI4/s1600-h/Windows7-PII-4%5B5%5D.png"><img title="Windows7-PII-4" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="297" alt="Windows7-PII-4" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYs5dHy3dr3cy7MrvJ1jW93CJLLnBdXXVlUlTllyYf8fgirQKzHXiYs6YD58_Yllo7kDNWrUNdtkVxPMtnC0LaMhuT23W7TFZttNIzmGx3s1iUEPPZFJ4Yr7uN3NqomsQgoSue6hhCioq/?imgmax=800" width="350" align="right" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Best Buy.com</p> <p>Amazon.com</p> <p>Walmart.com</p> <p>Newegg.com</p> <p> </p> <p>The Pre-order will be $50 for Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade or $100 for Windows 7 Professional Upgrade. Home Premium is really what every one needs unless you work in tech support. This is an update so you will have to have a Xp or Vista already installed. </p> <p>Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade will go for $119.99  while Professional will be $199.99.</p> <p>So this is a big saving. Especially if you buy it from Walmart using BING (Microsofts search engine that gives you cashback on your purchases). Bing will give you about 2-5% cash back on the walmart purchase and if i’m not mistaken also includes free shipping.

That’s the information that you get from the trailer, that and the fact that a fat little kid goes with him. That’s it, sounds uninteresting right? I mean to be honest, i was not expecting this movie to be AMAZING, but my faith in Pixar and their art of telling stories made me go watch the film. And let me tell ya, WHAT a film to watch.</p> <p>               <font color="#ffffff">From the start the movie is visually perfect. The Colors that Pixar use are amazing, and now that its combined with digital 3-d, the colors jump out even more, as to make the textures more realistic. But this movie could have been drawn, and still, the impact would have been the same. The storytelling is what wins this movie. You know Pixar gets it right, when they create an emotion link between you, and the characters in under 10 mins. I guarantee that only the coldest of people will not cry at least ONCE, throughout this film. Of course UP is also very funny. As the trailer has pointed out, most of it comes from Russell, the little boy who accompanies Mr. Fredricksen in this journey. However personally I found that Dug, the talking dog that befriends this odd couple, to be a bit annoying, and if there was one flaw then I would have to point at him. But thankfully he’s more of a third wheel in this movie so he is <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhimMfZbv5cKv9RzZ-nPlXR3KDnbscvwxYViGR2_nNEphe_Dd5CFZUbwwf1KoBDx8dded2r0L3ApvC8i5kf7r2_e0e_N1wpuo5JpDIwtJVllv40WdQQK_CM4KcEa2vIAnQaYGCIpTe5zmpW/s1600-h/disney-pixar-up-movie-poster-1%5B18%5D.jpg"><img title="disney-pixar-up-movie-poster-1" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="607" alt="disney-pixar-up-movie-poster-1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSh3x-6m5De4KtWb_MFONvxsVABfA1KTxV9oHV0duJ0Dd74w1j4vIo1DrCzJfWO6u4AKocPnThl5yXb6zMmtLcjd1bnISAlJvFaaXcy6GYip3zJzHsvlOZki1dTX8vgQRCw1S6X_Sdm32V/?imgmax=800" width="315" align="left" border="0" /></a> not featured much, to my relief (and possibly yours).</font> </p> <p>              The music in this movie also touches the heart. It’s amazing how simple piano keys can bring so much emotion with their sound. The beginning intro that has this gentle music, will make you stop for a moment and just be captivated by what’s on screen. Then when the music comes again later in the film, you’ll be forced to relate to the character on screen in a way that is very rare in movies, let alone an animated film.</p> <p>             UP is a journey of life. The moral of story is that life IS the greatest adventure. It will make you reflect on the small things that make up life, those moments that we take for granted sometimes, those moments that we feel are just strings attaching to main beads in our lives, when in reality THEY are the main beads in life. When everything passes, we remember the small details the most. All this from a movie targeted towards children. Amazing. Well I dont want to give more details, because frankly I think it will spoil such a film. Watch it, without distractions, disconnect for a moment, and just let Pixar lift you…UP.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>P.S.- bring tissues!</p> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-60731229348560655112009-05-29T14:47:00.001-04:002009-05-29T14:47:36.375-04:00Finally!!!

This franchise had much success with the first 2 movies, especially the second, which in my opinion is the best one. Then came the third and well….it wasn’t what everyone expected, but it also wasn’t tooo bad…right? lol. And now we have this forth film which in many ways is a “salvation” of the terminator franchise.</p> <p>It manages to do many things right. The whole atmosphere of the film is dead on. Very raw in your face camera style, which really makes you feel like you’re there. The special effects are dead on, as is the sound effects. The robots look realistic, as in, its not to far fetched that these robots can actually be built today. Even Arnold’s cameo appearance looks pretty good, he looks like he did in part 1. </p> <p>Now on to the bad…for a movie talking so much about the difference between robots and humans, it doesn’t humanize the humans enough. Sounds weird right? But it’s true! ( i sound like my sister now lol) Christian Bale playing as the much hyped John Connor, never once, asks his wife (played by spiderman-3’s Bryce Howard) about the baby she is carrying! I mean i know its war, but come on man, you can at least show her a bit more love! Also another compliant, what on earth is Batman doing in Terminator? I’m not referring to the fact that Bale played Batman and now he’s playing Connor, no, i mean why does he have to do the Batman voice?? Seriously i was like what?? The director actually let that go by? I know the voice is cool and all, heck I even do it sometimes (where are they?!?!?) but come on…</p> <p>The plot also suffers a bit, i mean after thinking about it, the whole movie is just about Connor saving his father (who is a teen) to send him back to the past. All the stuff in between is just added there to get to that point. It serves no other purpose, i mean they even blow up a base, which they say is skynet, but then at the end, you get another John Connor voice over, “we blew up their base…but its not over…they still have a network of robots….the war continues…”. Another minor complaint is that some parts of the movie may not be too clear to some viewers. Like the whole story behind Marcus Wrigth, the whole point of his existence and what happens to him is explained really quickly by some screen on a computer. If you’re not quick to read them, then I guess you’re lost. Also I dont think enough is clarified on the importance of John Connor as the faith of humanity. </p> <p>Overall, Terminator Salvation is a good summer flick and it really did bring back the Terminator franchise. Now here’s hoping that the next one, is the Dark Knight of the Terminator franchise!! till next time…..</p> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-24705229058809899522009-05-20T08:20:00.001-04:002009-05-20T08:20:59.836-04:00Free Guitar Picks and Holder<p>Just simply go <a href="http://prodlix.com/contact.html">here</a> and sign up.

Not only did we get Terminator:  Salvation, but also Transformers 2, which looks like its going to be pretty good (better than the 1st one hopefully). But there was one other trailer that caught my eye, and that was District-9. It was if you recall, having to do with aliens. Now in the trailer the aliens face was blurred and what they said, had no subtitles. Yet it still looked interesting.  Well if you’re curious i have here the trailer with no blurring and subtitles to get a better feel for the movie. </p> <object width="450" height="294"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/10758"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/10758" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="294" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object> <p>Personally i’m interested.

I mean, come on, whats not to love? We were gonna have a movie about Wolverine!! I mean, even though the other 3 movies where basically Wolverine’s movies, this was going to be just him. The main character, front and center. No more crappy Cyclops or stooge-like Storm. Just WOLVERINE. Cool.</p> <p>YET…thats not what happened. What FOX decided to do, was to make WOLVERINE’s origin. Problem is, that we basically knew his origins cause the other 3 XMEN movies were debating that. You have him having all these headaches about his past and walking around..etc. So instead of moving forward with the franchise and Wolverine, they moved back. Why? Well now after seeing the ending to Origins, basically because they want to make X Men: Fist class part 1,2 and 3. So they sacrificed Wolverine in the process, believing that he will heal and walk again to box office glory like he always does. </p> <p>So after that small rant, whats wrong with the movie besides the mentioned points? There’s no point. This movie really has no point but to just give wolverine adamantine claws and skeleton. Thats it plain and simple. All the action, all the “story” could have easily been skipped and we could have just gotten to the point of Wolverine getting his claws and forgetting everything.</p> <p>Another flaw, no sense of fear or worry. As the audience we have to root for the good guy, and feel fear, that he might get hurt or die. NONE WHAT SO EVER. WHY? cause they make wolverine out to be like superman in this movie. I mean this guy can’t die at all. He doesn’t age. He’s immortal. So put 2 immortals in a fight together, without any danger to anyone around them, in other words just 1 on 1, and you have very boring pointless action (even though good special effects). </p> <p>One pointless scene that really bothered me was the fight between Wraith (will.i.am) and Sabertooth. Its the most pointless fight in the movie. Why? Well u would figure that Wraith would figure out, <em>“Gee… wolverine is like indestructible has been fighting wars for years, killed his father, has huge claws..man this guy is bad to the bone…YET he can’t kill Sabertooth, even though he stabs him countless times with his claws!”</em> Yet Wraith somehow gets to the conclusion that if he punches Sabertooth enough times, he’ll kill him. take a moment to process that ……………………………………………</p> <p>Yep… POINTLESS. If Wraith wasn’t a class A stooge, as soon as he would have seen Sabertooth, he would have BOUNCED himself out of there, to Hawaii or something!! Not inches away from Sabertooth. And worst of all unarmed. PATHETIC!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_b7a4dqmcELN1shdjOESWrAIrJb9ub4yiMBjYSHgOK58VHCnYb6LBB3zf0SuWLeztMRL9h5GuR6l3HxhRImMNdvIQXt87Ak4Zm-GgKx_1fize8eQIQDI2VhmHkCElk_NEHY_1s61T4QRA/s1600-h/wolverine%20photo%20cooler%20than%20movie%5B3%5D.jpg"><img title="wolverine photo cooler than movie" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="464" alt="wolverine photo cooler than movie" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0a-rUcJVRslgQUyoEZS3cz7hJej8OfqCdWTbpwoM2CftCfxlY3IFU0jBmYRrui8gAgssmqovU_FBO9ZyOjlxkLsJ4QbTDm4DKJD_WYoATuzXs4ZwiMPHruttqaxDY9RpqjAZhfP4JClC/?imgmax=800" width="334" align="left" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I could go on ripping this movie for more of its flaws, like Agent Zero (the Chinese Mutant with the guns), this guy opens up the movie with a crazy action scene taking out all the guards, YET….when he is chasing Wolverine on the Helicopter, he doesn’t once think “Hmm…i have some beasty aiming, why dont i just shoot Wolverine’s motorcycle gas tank when he’s out in the open,  so the thing blows up and Wolverine has to walk, he’ll be slower = easier target for me and my crew”. Stuff like that gets me mad, and dont get me started on how they mixed Weapon XI with Deadpool, please none of that.</p> <blockquote> <p>Take it easy ppl and here’s hoping they dont make X Men Origins: Storm.</p></blockquote> the poethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17975454806245321276noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861927281507348281.post-72579612920953097092009-05-04T12:23:00.001-04:002009-05-04T12:23:35.749-04:00Deals as of May 4, 2009<p><a href="http://a2.slickdeals.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=203923&d=1241448099">$10 off a $20 purchase at KOHLS.
