replaces the claws with candy cains ;p

HUlk SMAASSSHHHHHH replaced to Hulk HUUUUGGGG

how did Aizen get so powerful?

personally im stuck on what phone to get: The Nokia n97 - problem is the touch screen response isnt great, low RAM and Nokia's application store is shit compared to android or apple The T-Mobile g1 - ideally the phone i want, has a qwerty keyboard, and most importantly has Android OS (best OS imo) also a year old, so out dated specs, and pretty ugly. also lock to t-mobile (who i hate with a passion) HTC touch pro 2 - Powerful compared to the g1, but is windows, and more business orientated my problem is i want an Andriod phone with flip out a qwerty keyboard. only the g1 meets that. but again it lacks the modern stats and is exclusive to a network i have no intention of joining

what happens in them movies, i read the synopsis, but sounded predictable, so skipped them...

tbh i wouldn't be sure if i would trust him, though i don't blame him for the crap of spiderman 3, they all had the same formula of Mary Jane being kidnapped... and the villain finding out Spiderman's identity

the opening sceen from the series where Ippo uses a Liver Punch, Gazelle Punch and Dempshey roll to win the fight is it from the movie champions road? never seen that film, I really hope they whack out season 3. it is super rare that a manga can produce a quality show if this calibre after so many episodes without selling out so huge filler crap

well generally not at the exact same time, but it is generally a full service deal, hell bring enough money, get your self a full body massage ;p

what annoyed me in season 1, was Ippo, he always fights like an amateur. i wish he would just school a few people in the ring.

with smart phones and mobile internet being all the rage, ive been in shops playing with live models, when the sames person tries to sell me it, ill tell them ''sorry it failed the AC test.... goodday''

grow your hair long to the point you are about to snap and kill a man with a hair brush, then go to an expensive salon, it may seem girly, but hell, if getting a head massaged, having drinks (inc alcohol) served to you., a selection of cool mags (like empire) brought at your request, and haveing them wash and shampoo your hair like your a greek god, well call me a girly man ;p

Yes it did and like all superhero / major franchises there are 3 movies contracted, (i dont condone killing people, but if anyone cares for transformers, please assassinate Michael Bay)

I think something like Superman shouldn't be hidden from the world, it is like art, wth is the point in a Picasso if it is locked in a rich mans vault. I really want Superman to become a new movie, BUT for the love of God have Christoper Nolan or James Cameron, hell even Kevin Smith have a part of it,

I kinda wanted Takamura to destroy the guy in like 3 punches like most of his fights, His fights are usually comical due to how easy he obliterates the opponent, though this fight was good, it dragged on a fair while I wanted more Ippo

Congrats to you being an Aunt, and your sister for being a mummy Poor woman, 16hrs of labour then a c-section. like having the worst of both,

yeppers, it loads the forums, just not the individual thread, ill probably try on an iPhone or other net phone, might be a problem only to the n97

i think superman wouldn't work in any other universe. Why would Marvel chars go to Dark HorsE?

http://timesonline.typepad.com/blockbuster_buzz/2009/07/superman-no-more-movies-no-more-comics.html Owen Vaughan reports on some complex copyright issues that could spell the end of the man of steel It seems that copyright law is more powerful than Kryptonite or Lex Luthor. A bitter legal row over Superman could result in the character leaving DC Comics, the comic book company that has published his adventures since his first appearance in 1938. In only four years, the entire copyright to the original Superman story will revert to the families and estates of the superhero's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. According to their lawyer, this means that from 2013 neither DC Comics nor its parent company, Warner Bros, will be able to produce any new Superman story without the permission of the Siegels and the Shusters. The Siegels and the Shuster estate is currently fighting Warner Bros over licence fees the studio paid to DC Comics for use of Superman in films and television. This week a court ruled against them but in a surprise twist the judge in the case told Warner Bros that if it did not start production on another Superman film by 2011, the Siegels would be able to sue to recover damages. Despite internet rumours that the studio is in a panic, Warners says that its still has no plans to put another Superman film into production. In fact it is planning for possibility of a life without Superman - painful though that may be. Whether Warners does rush out another Superman is irrelevant to Marc Toberoff, who is representing the Siegel family and the Shuster estate in their legal action. "Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the original Superman story, which was published in Action Comics No 1, and that story contained Superman, Clark Kent and Lois Lane - all the basic elements of the Superman story," he told The Times. "They sold that story for $130 in 1938 and signed a publishing release handing over their copyright. After that the character went through the roof but they still only got paid a page rate for their stories. For most of their lives, their families lived just above the poverty line while everyone else made millions. "Siegel and Shuster created Superman when there were no superheroes. Superman launched the whole superhero genre in America and it made a fortune for DC and Warners Bros. We did a study of the value of Superman - it was a very complicated and expensive analysis - and it came to about $975 million." He said that Siegels successfully recovered their half share of the copyright in 1999. DC retained the Shuster part of the original Superman copyright because Shuster did not have any children and only spouses and children could recapture copyright. However, a recent change in US copyright law gives the executors of an creator's estate the same benefits, with the Shusters set to recover their share from DC in 2013. When asked if it was possible that the Siegels and Shuster estate could take Superman to another company, Mr Toberoff replied: "Absolutely." This week a judge ruled against the Siegels and Shusters, saying that the licence fees that Warners paid to DC Comics for Superman were not below fair market value. Warner Bros and DC Comics said: "We are very pleased that the court found there was no merit to plaintiffs' position that the Superman deals were unfair to DC Comics and, by extension, the plaintiffs." However, Mr Toberoff said that the case paled in comparison to the fact that in 2013 his clients would own the entire copyright to the first Superman story. "I was looking for an analogy to World War II: We won the war but they still want to fight the battle. The more we fight, the closer we get to 2013. Plus all the fighting just antagonises my clients. So it's almost like they are driving my clients into the arms of a competing studio." To have Superman leave DC would be huge blow to the publisher. Superman is, along with Batman, the company's signature character: he has appeared in thousands of comics, five films and hundreds of cartoons and television series; he is part of the fabric of America and is arguably the world's most recognisable and popular superhero. "Instead of treating the matter like a business deal, where everyone gets their fair share, Warner Bros has opted to have a war of attrition. They have spent so much money on lawyers, that from a business point of view they should have put that money towards a fair settlement of this action," said Mr Toberoff. However, he cautioned that reversion of copyright only applied to the US, which means that whatever happens after 2013, DC will still own the foreign copyright to Superman. "If my clients decided to take Superman to another studio that studio would still have to deal with DC, so it's almost like a stalemate situation." Warners Bros believes that the Shuster claim is not valid but is planning for possibility that it is. The studio says that Action Comics No 1 is missing many key elements of the Superman story: there is no Daily Planet, no Perry White, no Jimmy Olsen; no Lex Luthor, Brainiac or Kryptonite. Most importantly, Superman doesn't fly in the issue and his famous shield is crude and almost unrecognisable. Because these features are missing, and because the Siegels and Shusters would have no control of Superman outside the US, no studio would strike a deal with them, it says. Warners says that it wants to a strike a deal with the Siegels and Shusters but only one that is fair and economically viable. "Not doing another Superman film would be painful but Warners has other superhero franchises, such as the Flash and the Green Lantern, that it can exploit," said a source at the studio. Even though Superman Returns made almost $390 million worldwide at the box office, the film was expensive to make and poorly received by the critics and comic fans. This is the reason why the studio did not do a sequel, the source said. He stressed that the studio had no plans to develop a Superman film or television series. Yesterday the Scottish comic book writer and producer Mark Millar told The Times that Warners had approached him and Matthew Vaughn, the director of Layer Cake, to reboot the franchise. The last attempt at reviving Superman on screen, Superman Returns in 2006, was deemed to be a critical and financial failure and Millar and Vaughn had plans to turn the Man of Steel into a Lord of the Rings-type epic. However, the studio got cold feet and Millar and Vaughn moved on to other things. "They spoke to me and Matthew last year and we were obviously very interested as the love is there and the potential is enormous," he said yesterday. "But we're not involved in Superman at this stage." Millar, who is currently is collaborating with Vaughn on the movie adaptation of his hit comic Kick-Ass, told The Times earlier this year that his plan was "to do a Superman movie unlike anything you've ever seen before. Matthew wanted to cast someone who looked nothing like Christopher Reeve and create a new Superman for this generation. But Superman is still in stasis at the moment because the last one lost so much money and [Warners] are scared to do anything with the character right now. I'm not holding my breath." Unlike Siegel and Shuster - and scores of comic book writers and artists throughout the years - Millar has managed to retain control over his creations. But asked if there was a danger that Marvel and DC would lose control of their characters, he said: "The big companies will own those old characters as long as Disney own Mickey Mouse, unfortunately. Guys like Jerry and Joe created Superman at a very different time. Anything created before the Eighties and Nineties was signed away to the big companies and the best-case scenario, realistically, is a generous pay-out for their families in these situations. Guys like me, who created new characters in this past decade, owe an enormous debt to all the creators who came before us. What happened to them taught us that companies don't have loyalties to creators when they get old and we need to retain ownership on the characters to look after our creative freedom and our long-term finances." overall, if the creators / estate owners gave a crap about Superman, they would push for a new Tv series with today's effects it would be awesome instead of the shit known as Smallville which is an insult to Superman. PS the hint at selling SUperman to another publisher (aka marvel) wouldnt happen, marvel wouldnt take superman, he wouldnt fit in the marvel universe

i regretted watching the trailer...

just finished season 2 i liked it, but not loved it, Ippo was pretty much a side character for the series not that the series was bad, it just seems that the final episode was ment to be the 1st, and everything was a filler

im more interested in the Samurai of the Land of Iron If Ninja's focus chakra into special abilities, imagine a person who trained with a Katana from birth with the code of bushido i agree with gokuDX7. learning more about Anbu, kages etc is pretty interesting. and well probably the only think that can revive naruto from the shit fest it has been

it is the future

lmao

used an Nokia n97 to log onto AC, but couldn't open a thread, anyone know why?

seemed like a rather short chapter...
