Thanks. No one mentioned Happy Birthday to AVX, whose B-Day was the day before (29th) so Happy Birthday to him :party:
I also noticed that there were some SRK people at Oak today, looking at or even playing Tekken 5. Let me know what you think of it…that game is making TONS of money…pfft makes more than I do per hour :lol:
There are many Marvel characters that deserve a movie…Elektra is NOT one of them. I’m pissed that Marvel jumped on the tits & ass bandwagon after the release of the Tomb Raider (Angelina Jolie) and Resident Evil (I have no idea what that chicks name is) movies. Instead of them investing their millions in a quality movie with an interesting super-hero, they give us more of this “super-model saves the world” crap…
Thumbs totally down :tdown: …a waste of celluloid. :bluu:
The movie version may make Elecktra seem like a T and A movie, but comic wise Elecktra is an assassin and one of the most deadliest fighters in the Marvel Universe. A very respectable character and I hope the move follows that too. It looks like it will focus on her early years of being resurected and trainned as a ninja, not to save the world, but to be a weapon of vengence/assassin for hire. But what have we learned about comics going to movies? They don’t stick to the story so I doubt she will be a assassin for hire, but it looks to have enough martial arts action to be decent. I don’t expect it to win an oscar, just keep me entertained. But to each their own of course. I am kinda late, but I’m just buying GTA San Andreas, and I must say I haven’t played one game for 6 hours in a minute. :tup:
I would invite you too Ivy, and even though you are one hell of an actor, you are also gay, and well it goes against everything I believe in to support you faggot basterds. Now I know what youre thinking (how the hell did that fucker find my secret out)
Well I will tell you, your boyfriend told me, I saw him working at subway, and for his safety I will not say which one, but yeah he told me you are gay.
HAPPY B-DAY JUDGMENTDAY
HAPPY B-DAY AVX

What we have learned is that it will NEVER be the way it should be, that and if it was made by the makers of Xmen, how come this movie looks sweeter then the Xmen movie. I mean the Xmen movies SUCKED ASS a fucking BOMBSHELL. Her gift they kept, she has the ability to see a step into the future during a fight blah blah. If she is that good, how did she get her ASS whopped in D/D? I know I am just rambling and most of you will tell me (ITS JUST A MOVIE) but I would just once like to see them stick to it and make the damn movie how it should be. Maybe someone else will come down the line and make Xmen GREAT.
Doesn’t matter…Daredevil was not a successful movie @ the box office by any means (or DVD sales), it is absurd to say that movie jumpstarted the Elektra franchise…it is clear that Marvel and whatever movie studio producing this rubbish is going for the T & A angle…theres no other reason to make it. Her character isn’t interesting enough to warrant making her a solo movie, c’mon, a female ninja raised by wolves in the jungle plot (pun)? Its been done…nothing new here. Now a female ninja wearing tight leather and special effects flips and throwing weapons? Wow, now there is a box office killer for hungry 16 to 30 year old males…but what about the rest of us who crave story, an interesting plot/character? Is there is no other female/male Marvel character interesting enough to make a movie about in the Marvel Universe? Give me a break. Marvel has oodles of interesting male/female super hero characters to create a movie around. Its laziness. Pure and simple. Its the same fomula that gave us that box office smash, “Catwoman as Halle Berry”. Studio executives sat at a table and said, “Hey, lets make a chick movie…whos hot right now? Halle Berry is hot! Lets make a movie about her as Catwoman! We can’t miss!!! We’ll make millions!!!” Thus, a piece of shit movie is born to rot on store DVD shelves.
I respect your right Shin, to spend your hard earned $$$ to see and enjoy Elektra, I however will continue my silent protest against the T & A genre of movies.
Wohhh wohhh, hold on now Robo, there are a few people in the marvel universe that could actually be turned into a single hit, one I wouldnt mind seeing is Wolverine, Nightcrawler or Gambit (just to say a few). Now I am not taking away from your point, I read yeah, and I do understand what you mean and I do agree its all bullshit, oh sexy woman in tights fucking everyone up yeah yeah HARD-ON and every man will buy it. Its all crap STICK WITH THE STORY LINE DAMN IT. Cat woman was not a “black female” she was not a SUPOER HERO, at least not until after batman whopped her ass a few HUNDERED times, and even then she was still a criminal fighting for her own righteous ass, and not for the sake of others, wolverine was not a skinny slash and dasher half-witted fighter, Spiderman has a hard enough time with Kingpin and yet D/D beats him easily or somewhat easily, stick with the facts and stop trying to change everything to something that a halfwit, or a person who never read the comics would like. the people who looked at and have the comics are the ones seeing the movies and the real judges they should make the movies to what we would think matters, and not this “oh well if Stan say its ok who are we to say other wise” no Stan say its ok because dude is making money, I will be DAMNED if he said Xmen was ok, because that movie had well over 75% of the shit WRONG.
(wow all that huh LOL) ( I needed to get that out, it just ticks me off about how they turn a good story bad)
Um, thats exactly the point I was trying to make, Dominic…why make an Elektra movie when Marvel has other people thay can do thats much more interesting.
FNG
I’m gonna cancel FNG this week…I’m assuming most of you will be gettin’ busy anyway New Years eve, but even if the wasn’t the case, it too dangerous around here to do any gaming. The idiots in my neighborhood shoot on New Years Eve, not just guns…sometimes I think the folks around here have anti-aircraft weaponry and missles…its crazy. So for your own safety, I’ll see you the following week.
I agree with everything you are stating Robo, but Marvel doesn’t have any other female characters to make a movie for besides Mystique that you would not have to go into another book to explain really, adn she was in X-Men. And that would be considered T and A too because she is not hard on the eyes, she is a spy, and she can change to whoever she wants. I agree that the sex sells aspect ruins things, but it’s not to much to work with. They made a move cause there is alwasy gonna be a heroine movie out. Tomb Raider sucked, Resident Evil sucked, They don’t have right to Wonder Woman, but it’s Dc so it would suck if they did make it. The media wants a kick ass female movie(I do too :tup: ) That’s what female characters do, look good and kick ass.
Psylocke and Elecktra are pretty much the same character besides one is a mutant and one is not. Black Widow would be a good movie to make and I hear it is in the works, but she’s attractive as well, and a spy. The X-Men movie franchise screwed over Rouge’s story, so to make a movie about her you’d have to have Miss marvel in it cause that’s where she got her powers. They could do a Psylocke but not too many people know her outside of X-men. She Hulk is Hulk but she is a lawyer and is m=smart, and attractive. So there would be no way out of selling @ss for one of these movies. It sells, it sucks, but the comics do it too. Daredevil did jumpstart this movie cause it sucked, no argument there. And the franchise because she is a character from his book first. This is all marketing though when it comes down to it. We all know that. It seesm like the only successful Marvel movie was Spider-Man if you agree with the story or not, it is an excellent franachise
Who you think is gonna going to the Super Bowl Kinn, I say Steelers and Patriots. I think someone had a cannon over here last New Year’s Eve as loud as the guns were. As long as we got Super Cop John Peterson on our side we are good :lol: . Well See ya for FNG next week then cause saftey is a good call always.
I agree with your super bowl pick, Shin…Philly is gonna choke without Mr. “I’m the shizz-nitt” TO.
I’d like to see Pitt win…I love Rothsenberger (spelling)…a guy from a less likely college killing the big dogs. But I’m also a Michigan fan and wouldn’t mind seeing the Brady bunch win again. So its a toss up, I’ll lean towards NE winning it all because of the experience. :tup:
HEY YO its me, its me, its RDG (RUSH DOWN GOD)VDO here, just wanna say happy birthday to my N.W.O brothers J-day and AVX!
Also I wanna say I’m still waiting to kill you DIETY heh heh heh!
And maybe you should learn how to form proper sentences that actually make sense, but I digest.
I hope you will remember this the next time you make a simple mistake and spell a word wrong; do I have to read what you type and come back with the same LAME-ASS remark as you did?
ROBO
