Batman vs Wolverine
Posted by vampire at 03:24 AM on November 8, 2006.
When I was in Singapore, I heard over TV (my eyes weren't on the TV set) that there was a movie called "Batman vs Wolverine", which I assumed going to be in production, or is in production. I dismissed this as a rumor, until the newscaster announced the actors Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale going to be in it.
Yesterday I tried checking the most complete movie database,
IMDB (Internet Movie Database) for info, but couldn't find any. I tried
Yahoo Movies but failed too.
Just now I googled up the movie, and the results are mostly comics and forum discussion about who will win if Batman were to combat with Wolverine. But I found out my answer.
The movie where Batman get to versus Wolverine is:
The Prestige
IMDB Rating: 8.1/10
Yahoo Movies Rating : B+
This movie stars both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, who played Wolverine and Batman, respectively. In The Prestige, they are rival magicians, with one set to topple the other's magic.
I have not watched this movie, but I plan to do so.
Sitcoms

In Malaysia, we don't get much English sitcoms on TV...
If we do, it gets repeated again and again (Friends), or it isn't popular...
Americans get lotsa sitcoms on air, but they do not appreciate it... their networks (Fox, CBS, NBC, etc) keeps pulling them off air even before they could complete a season...
Some good shows get cancelled because the viewership is low, and it is because the show gets shown in an inappropriate time slot... Example of shows:
1)
Happy Hour (Ended by FOX after 4 episodes)
2)
20 Good Years (Ended by NBC after 4 episodes)
3)
Committed (Ended by NBC after 13 episodes)
4)
Smith (Ended by CBS after 3 episodes)
5)
Rich List (Ended by FOX after only 1 episode)
6)
Teachers (Ended by NBC after 6 episodes)
7)
Emily's Reasons Why Not (Ended by ABC after only 1 episode)
8)
Crumbs (Ended by ABC after 5 episodes)
9)
Sons And Daughters (Ended by ABC after 10 episodes)
10)
Stacked (Ended by NBC after 7 episodes)
All those ended, while shows like Family Guy and Simpsons keep airing year after year after year...
Oh... Americans like lousy comedies like The Office... I watched the pilot episode and find it distasteful and not funny... yet, Americans like them... No wonder they got Bush as their president...
Fly FM

Yesterday, I heard something over
Fly FM's program "Flirty @ 10:30". It made me realize that times have changed since my school days...
There's this program where the Fly FM DJs will call up a person who registered on their website, announce their crush/love confessions on air, and call up the target guy/gal and set up a date. :p
From their website:
Fancy someone but too scared to ask them out? Fly FM's dating duo Jules and Basil do the hard work so you don't have to..let them contact the potential love of your life for you.
The scared fancier is called first and asked questions and is kept on the line so that they can hear Jules and Basil call the object of their desire and if they agree they get to go on a sponsored date by DiGi at a chosen restaurant or cinema.
1. Who do you fancy?
2. Tell us a bit about him/her.
3. Why do you want to date him/her?
First thing that shocked me on that program last nite is: The person who is gonna confess is a gal! Brave nowadays :p
2nd Shocking Fact: She's only 14 years old.
3rd Shocking Fact: She's gonna confess to her sister's ex-boyfriend, and her sister doesn't know.
-_-" young gals nowadays...
Another incident: Two days ago, at Gurney Plaza, a young schoolgal... also about 14-16 years old, was out with a bunch of 6 guys, also about the same age... she was the only gal... and seems to be very capable of flirting, from her conversations... (no, i'm not an eavesdropper... she talked loud)

If you're in Malaysia and paying taxes, read this
article.
There's where a small part of your tax money go to. Lots more goes other places which aren't at good use at all.
Jeff Ooi will know much more about this.
