Low on Gore, Big on Eye Candy

…the special effects fail to give any real credibility to this grisly movie. The slashing seems unrealistic, the flayed wounds look dry and unconvincing, and for a movie that is supposedly a bloodbath, this 80-minute thriller just doesn’t show enough red liquid.”

Entertainment Weekly – Iron Man 2

Excited about the next installment of Iron Man on the big screen? Here’s a pic

Is it me or does Robert Downey Jr. look like he’s about to burst if he can’t get to the bathroom in time?
Oh and the super tanned Mickey Rourke, he looks a bit like he’s black, almost a parody of Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, doesn’t he? 😀
ScarJo unfortunately looks plastic on this cover though she looks hot in the action photos.

What you don’t wanna hear while taking off on a plane

“Passengers on a Batavia Air plane scheduled to fly from Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport to Surabaya were sent into panic when they saw smoke coming out of the back of their plane before their scheduled takeoff on Thursday morning.

Batavia Air Corporate Secretary, Edi Haryanto told the Jakarta Globe that the passengers were panic stricken and forcefully opened the emergency door.
“They opened the emergency exit and came out of the plane using the slide,” Edi said. 

Edi said that the smoke coming out of the engine was an ordinary occurance during the process to prepare for take-off. “It’s just an ordinary thing,” he said.”

A proposal to change the official retweet format. I have a slightly different idea though.
