A drinking game similar to speed quarters. When a player fails to make his quarter bounce into his shooting cup, he risks entering a "cage" where he must drink beers to remove himself. As the game progresses, anger may develop, and the cage becomes a "rage cage." If the player can not drink himself out of the rage cage, he is eliminated from the game. Bobby claims to have never been caught in a rage cage, however, those who play rage cage with him know better.

In December, Zhi-Qiang Deng and his research team predicted the Cameron Parish oyster norovirus outbreaks 16 days before they occurred.
"This is the first time in the world that scientists have been able to predict a norovirus outbreak in advance," Deng said.
Deng's model — still in its preliminary stages — relies on science and mathematical probability to determine the likelihood that a norovirus is present in a particular Louisiana oyster harvest area.
And, thus, it has the potential to prevent such outbreaks in the population from occurring at all.
Symptoms of noroviruses usually begin 12 to 48 hours after consuming a diseased oyster and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramping, according to the state Department of Health and Hospitals. Sometimes people also experience low-grade fevers, chills, headaches, muscle aches and fatigue.
Cooking kills the virus. The illness usually is brief, with symptoms lasting one or two days.
Louisiana is the top producer of oysters in the nation, with around 1.3 million Louisiana oysters being consumed somewhere in the United States, DHH statistics show.
Mike Voisin, owner of Motivatit Seafoods in Houma and a member of the Governor's Oyster Advisory Committee, says "anything that can be done to improve the predictability (of outbreaks) would be supported by the oyster community, because the last thing we want is for someone to have a problem after they consume our product."
Not having yet heard of the model, though, Voisin also fears that misuse of such a predictor could lead to the unnecessary closure of oyster areas that would not have made anyone ill.
On Dec. 28, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospital closed an oyster harvesting area in Cameron Parish after nine people became sick to their stomach after eating oysters harvested from that area. DHH also issued a recall for all oysters from that specific basin and harvest area, including shucked, frozen, breaded, post-harvest processed and oysters for the half shell market.
On Dec. 12, Deng's model had correctly predicted that very norovirus outbreak.
The nine people who became sick were not hospitalized and their illnesses were not life threatening.
Deng met in January with DHH officials including Dr. Jimmy Guidry, the state health officer, to present his preliminary results.
"He has definitely piqued our interest," Guidry said. "Next steps for us would be to get some other subject experts together to review his study."
Basically, the model predicts future water quality conditions and bacteria levels by using water temperature, tidal levels, salinity, rainfall and state sampling data. Most of those variables are tallied from temperature and tidal gauges, but Deng also uses NASA imagery from the Terra and Aqua satellites. Colors from those satellites' images can be converted to temperature using various algorithms.
The project is funded through a $225,000 NASA grant.
The DHH's Molluscan Shellfish Program currently regulates state oyster harvesting areas. It has eight staff members, divided into four crews, who test all the oyster grounds in the state at least once a month, taking 10 to 15 samples in each oyster bed, Guidry said.
But the state hardly ever closes the grounds due to such sampling. And so other than during major environmental events such as hurricanes or oil spills, the process usually is retroactive. People get sick and report the illness and then a recall of area oysters is issued, and the oyster ground culprit is shut down, typically for about 21 days.
Also, DHH only is testing for elevated fecal coliform levels.
Those are used as a measure of contamination by bacteria and viruses found in the human gut. However, Deng points out, fecal coliform levels often are elevated in the summer but oysters hardly ever get the virus then.
That's because cold water is one of the other factors needed for the disease to develop.
Deng has determined that a norovirus typically occurs when a variety of conditions occur. It normally occurs in oyster grounds about 10 to 14 days after an extremely low tide.
The grounds also need extremely low water temperatures and high bacteria levels for the virus to develop. And heavy rainfall after a long dry period typically transports bacteria from land to an oyster growing area, Deng says.
So, one factor alone often will not cause the virus. The model's predictions are based on them all.
In addition to the predication model, Deng is partnering with Southern University of New Orleans scientists who will use the model and its data to develop a website showing real-time bacterial levels and norovirus predictions in oyster growing areas.
Deng also said he possibly can tweak the model down the line to predict vibrio vulnificus illness, a rare but deadly bacteria sometimes present in raw oysters, and red tide, which also can be deadly.
Voisin said that while shutting an oyster ground hurts business, the recalls and subsequent negative publicity are worse for harvesters' pocketbooks. So, if contaminated oysters never go out into the market in the first place, it would be a win-win for oyster harvests and consumers.
"Some of the larger recalls have been in the millions of dollars," Voisin said. "But if the model is obsessive, then you would not be able to harvest the resource because you are over-conservative."
"What we need is the right mix, so we get to zero illnesses and still have a harvestable resource."

Symptoms in adults that require immediate medical attention:
- Headaches that get worse
- Weakness, numbness or decreased coordination
- Repeated vomiting
- Cannot be awakened
- Have one pupil -- the black part in the middle of the eye -- larger than the other
- Convulsions or seizures
- Slurred speech
- Getting more and more confused, restless or agitated
Symptoms in children that require immediate medical attention:
- Any of the danger signs for adults (see above)
- Child won't stop crying
- Child can't be consoled
- Child won't nurse or eat
Post-concussion syndrome can occur to people who suffer a head injury. They may have poor memory and concentration, headache, fatigue and dizziness for weeks or months after the injury. In children who have even a moderate concussion, there may be an increase in irritability, angry behavior and meanness for up to a year. The AANS recommends that athletes not return to play while they have these symptoms and that those who have had repeated concussions should consider ending participation in that sport.
Neck injuries
The neck supports the head and is very flexible, so many injuries to the neck occur from a fall or an abrupt jerking of the head (whiplash). Neck pain can be caused by strains, sprains or fractures. Strains and sprains are injuries to the muscles and ligaments. Pain can also come from injury to nerves that branch from the neck into the arms and hands. The action that injures a neck does not have to be sudden. Injury can occur over a period of time from activities that strain the neck such as mountain bike riding and horseback riding.
Symptoms that indicate medical attention is necessary:
- Neck pain after an injury; if the pain is severe, the person should not be moved and emergency medical personnel should be called
- Pain or numbness radiating down an arm, or weakness in an arm
- Pain that continues for a period of time
If severe neck pain occurs after an injury, such as in a motor vehicle accident, diving accident or fall, a trained professional, such as a paramedic, should immobilize the person to avoid the risk of further injury and possible paralysis. Seek immediate medical care.

My photographs are my children.
Photography has been an important element of my life for over thirty-five years. I use a digital camera, the current coin of the realm for the photographic art, but have in the past used 35 millimeter (SLR and rangefinder), medium format, 'folding plate' cameras (including my all time favorite, a 1928 Zeiss-Ikon Donata) and several pinhole cameras of my own construct. Pinhole photography is still my favorite, even though I haven't done it in some time. There is something raw and perfect about this most ancient of photographic techniques that carries with it a certain allure.
I'm also a writer. Check out http://sites.google.com/site/fortyrabbitholes for information about Forty Rabbit Holes, my 'Heart' books, three books of music transcribed for the Native American flute and, above all, my recently completed (but yet to be published) work, Mama Root: The Old Woman of Loop Road.

'We will see you on the boardwalk,' says Brian Williams, news anchor and Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund new board member.
As a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman Monday night, Gov. Chris Christie's witty banter and doughnut-eating may have made headlines, but he was quick to remind everyone that Hurricane Sandy relief is still needed.

Bono, front man of U2, and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams will join Bruce Springsteen, former U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley, Jon Bon Jovi and others on the board. Bono called it "an honor" to support the relief efforts. "Sandy took away just about every piece of my Jersey Shore childhood," said Williams, who is from …

Ricky Silvers, 56, of 150 Berry Bennett Road in Murray County, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of aggravated assault in the multiple shooting at 573 Simmons Drive last Sunday, authorities said. Silvers was initially taken to an Atlanta-area hospital with a gunshot wound. James Michael Stafford, 49, (shown here) of the residence where the shootings occurred, is still being sought by authorities. He is 5-foot-7, weighs 165 pounds, has red hair, blue eyes and some facial hair. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark T-shirt with a design on the front. Anyone spotting him can call 911 or the Gilmer County Sheriff's Office at (706) 635-4162. (Click headline to read full story)
Though the scenario is a common one, the Gilmer County Fire and Rescue dive team isn't called into action just to pull stranded swimmers or boaters to safety.
"We dive for weapons, cars, bodies. Even up to the point of somebody tossing a weapon into the water trying to conceal something," said dive team supervisor Robert Flesher.

When Michelle Key Abercrombie heard her father, brother and another member of a team wrapping up a mission in Haiti had wrecked on the Dominican Republic side of the island of Hispaniola, she was relieved. After all, Haiti bears the stigma of being the most impoverished nation in the western hemisphere.
But that relief turned into "a nightmare" for the team trying to make it home to Ellijay for Christmas — and their families, Abercrombie said.
Gainesville, Ga. (November 30, 2012) — The Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain and its approach from Amicalola Falls State Park reopen today after a five day closure imposed while the U.S. Forest Service and partners battled a large wildfire in the area.
The Black Mountain fire, which initially covered areas in Gilmer, Fannin, Lumpkin and Dawson counties, is now 85 percent contained with full containment expected tomorrow. Trail and road closures may be lifted as soon as Friday.

Mike Fast looks at the catcher inference leaders (batters, catchers, and even pitchers) since 2007 (subscription required). Carl Crawford, who reached base last night via catcher interference on Welington Castillo, leads the way. The top 15 batters in catcher interference have accounted for 60% of all interference calls (including playoffs and spring training) since 2007. Crawford has 14 and the next highest is 9. 15th on the list is Andres Torres who has never had a catcher interference call in the regular season or postseason, but has had 2 in spring training.

Spring 2011's Hottest Fashion & Eye Makeup Looks
Not sure which makeup look to pair with the stripe trend you're so into? We got the scoop from in-the-know fashion and beauty experts
Fashion Trend: Horizontal stripes
Kotsiopoulos says stripes are this season's most accessible trend. "Jill Sander did this floor length white and blue striped gown, which is awesome, but you can also do a striped skirt, or a great striped bag. American Apparel has adorable striped tees and you can find the trend at Gap, J.Crew and Target." You might be thinking that this trend, though most prevalent, is the one you'd avoid since, duh, horizontal stripes make you look wider, right? Wrong. Kotsiopoulos says that's a misconception. "Horizontal stripes give you an allusion of depth and actually make you look thinner." Who knew?Eye Makeup Look: Gray/green smoky eyes
Pairing stripes with a heavy smoky eye "makes it less of a preppy look and toughens it up," says Kotsiopoulos. Merante agrees saying, "At Chanel, smoky dramatic gray green eyes took center stage."
To create a more wearable version of this look, apply an emerald green shadow like the one in Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow in Peacock Green 80, $19 from lashlines up to your brows. Blend the shadow along the lower lashlines as well and "smoke out" the shadow for a softer look. Line top and bottom inner rims with a soft eye pencil. Then define and lengthen top and bottom lashes with a volumizing mascara.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Singer/songwriter Mindy Simmons started her musical career in the genre of rhythm and blues.
But her musical efforts shifted 22 years ago, when she moved to Florida. Since then, she's been focusing on folk music.
On Feb. 2, artists and musicians, including Simmons, will converge to share their passion for the arts during Ovation: A Day for the Arts. The annual event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lakewood Ranch Main Street, will feature live dance, music and drama performances, art demonstrations and more, as area artists gather to bring the arts to the East County community.
"We want to educate the public (about what's out there)," said Simmons, president of the Sarasota Folk Club. "Traditional folk music is alive and well, and it's about storytelling and history. At the same time, acoustic musicians are writing new folk music all the time."
Attendees will also be able to see everything from local high school drama and dance team performances, to shows by the Sarasota Opera, Manatee Players, Sarasota Cuban Ballet and others.
"It's to give people an idea of the different cultural assets that are in this region," said Rachel Gray, events, promotions and website coordinator for Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch. "It's a draw for people who would potentially (live here), and it's a way for them to see what they might be interested in."
Gray said this year's event has been expanded to include a third stage, because so many groups wanted to participate.

Although I didn't see the first Expendables movie, I'm pretty sure this was way better than it.
9/10 | chw@ - 266 reviews 28.5.2013 - age: 13-17 |
This sequel was much better than the first. It's good to see those actors together. It was good to see Arnold, however, once more he doesn't quite fit in. To a lesser extent, Chuck Norris and Bruce Willis. The rest do a decent job and at least now we have a decent plot, or some plot. It's hard for any of them to even get a scratch, but it's to be expected from Expendables. The action scenes are well choreographed, with some slow parts half way through. Don't go out of your way to see it, but if you do, you might enjoy it.
6/10 | beachandtennis@ - 242 reviews 17.5.2013 - age: 50+ |
Very funny, can't believe those guys are still around and good.
7/10 | ac53083@ - 54 reviews 20.12.2012 - age: 36-49 |
[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
The only reason I gave this a 1 rating was for all the action heroes I loved seeing! Especially Chuck Norris, he was cool as ever. Jason Stathams fight scene was also cool. The bad rating is not for the script or the actors it's for the gratuitous violence which they did not need as it spoiled the movie completely. I did not need to see peoples heads exploding every few seconds. It was horrible... too horrible. I will not be seeing the next one which is sad really because I enjoy seeing these guys together.
1/10 | mapine@ - 30 reviews 3.12.2012 - age: 36-49 |
This was really fun to watch!! I preferred this one then the first , lost of guns , lots of explosions , lots of action, lots of funny moments, lots of great acting with great references!! Really a cool movie to relax and watch a bunch of big guys with big guns blow stuff up! And the sound is amazing too with a perfect 7.1 suround!
9/10 | libero_58@ - 72 reviews 25.11.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Very entertaining if you're just in the mood for an all out action movie. Not quite as good as the first, but how can you go wrong with Arnold, Bruce and Sly (and Chuck Norris!) in one movie. I grew up watching these guys, amazing.
7/10 | casserly5@ - 136 reviews 9.11.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I found this very entertaining. Somehow better than first one as all my old favorite action characters/actors are in this one. We all clapped and got agitated when Chuck Norris showed up. He never dies... never, ever. Hilarious!
8/10 | cutyjewel@ - 177 reviews 10.10.2012 - age: 26-35 |
If you want to see bodies being blown up and arms and legs and bloody tissue continuously exploding on the screen this is the movie for you. Story line is so weak I can't even remember what it was. I give credit to the lineup of actors - old boys club giving it one last attempt at movie magic. Unfortunately these gentlemen fell way short of making anything about this movie memorable. Except that it was not worth the free admission coupon I used to get in.
2/10 | keeponsmiling@ - 13 reviews 9.10.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Great movie. It has almost all my favorite action heros. Just needs Segall and Connery and it's a 10...
9/10 | flywiz1@ - 26 reviews 8.10.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Good show... interesting to see all the different actors in one movie... lots of funny moments pertaining to previous movies... good enough story to sustain the actors role...
8/10 | smilingcuteartist@ - 3 reviews 8.10.2012 - age: 50+ |
Lots of fun and old movie references. And only more gratuitous violence makes it a great romp through the war zones of Europe.
9/10 | bdflavelle@ - first review 6.10.2012 - age: 50+ |
I want my money back. I have only ever walked out of 3 movies - this was painfully bad. They must have enlisted several 10 year olds to write the script. For all of you who voted that it was good - shame on you.
1/10 | douganderson1@ - 5 reviews 6.10.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Full of cliches, too many in fact. Wasn't sure if it was meant too be taking the mickey out of itself or not. Ultra violent, cheesy, sometimes embarrassing to watch. HOWEVER!, what totally blew me away in this movie was the fight scene and intensity of acting between Sly and Jean Claude at the climax of the film. It was worth it to sit through all the bad lines and bad acting just to see this. Such a superbly choreographed action piece and both men pulled out their acting chops to make this one of the best showdowns between hero and villain in action flick history. My rating gets dragged up to a 7/10 just because of that. If only the rest was as good, it would get a ten.
7/10 | shelly@ - 30 reviews 5.10.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Wouldn't necessarily go see it again on the big screen. Lots of cliches for the big name action heroes. It was entertaining and good to see so many big stars on one cast. Cameo by Chuck Noris was very entertaining. Not the best movie I have ever seen but with a tongue in cheek flair it was entertaining.
7/10 | saskheat@ - 93 reviews 30.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Lots of action and gun fire with many good actors using some of their famous lines.
9/10 | cft_elitefitness@ - 50 reviews 30.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
If you liked the first one then you will like this one too. Good storyline, good plot, good action, comedy in some parts is a little cheezy but all in all it's a good show and worth the money!
8/10 | wes786@ - 41 reviews 29.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Predictable and they should avoid giving Stallone any serious lines because they were a joke.
5/10 | ks12@ - first review 23.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I loved the movie because of Chuck Norris from Walker Texas Ranger, he can still kick some ass.
9/10 | hankvielvoye@ - first review 23.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Its got Arnold!!! The Guns of guns, the man getting into more choppers than a bf3 nerd, into more tunnels and boats Genghis Khan!! Just see it, and the child in you will thank you.
8/10 | black_tactic117@ - 2 reviews 22.9.2012 - age: 18-25 |
The first was pleasantly surprising mayhem and the sequel may actually be better. The cheese factor is omnipresent and gets a little tiring but it does generate a few laughs. The action is constant and over the top with just enough drama and quiet moments to remind you that you're not watching a 2 hour trailer. All in all I was thoroughly entertained and was surprised to find that I vaguely cared about the characters and the story in the end which I couldn't really say for the first movie. Great big screen popcorn flick for anyone in the mood for some nostalgia or at least a tolerance for cheese with a big action payoff.
8/10 | tybodger@ - 7 reviews 19.9.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Movie was great... you have action, drama and comedy all rolled into one... and performed by those dinosaurs... a good 'popcorn' movie and parody of those old action films decades ago...
8/10 | al.ant@ - first review 17.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
A real Shoot'em up, all star cast action film. U don't go expecting Oscar nominated acting... but entertainment. And it was! [...]
9/10 | itsmebigmain@ - first review 16.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
It had its moments. Funny one liners. It doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should you when you go see it.
6/10 | anerces@ - 59 reviews 16.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
My son warned me that this movie wasn't worth the price of the ticket, but I went anyway. I thought I could sit through some mindless action. No, no, I can't! Well... I'm ashamed to actually admit it, but I did stay in my seat though it all. There's a guy who posted his review on this site that left early and we all owe him homage: HE DID THE RIGHT THING! Self-loathing, that's what I'm feeling for not leaving the theatre after fifteen minutes, seriously. If you can't help yourself because of the big ticket actors and you need to go, wear dark sunglasses to and from the theatre: you must protect your self-image! Sadly, I failed to do so...
1/10 | sirblue@ - 4 reviews 14.9.2012 - age: 50+ - One reply |
This film is like THE TRANSFORMERS: mechanical sound and fury but with no heart. Of course, the villains henchmen are such poor shots, it is a wonder why they were hired in the first place- they are mowed down with ease. The cinematography is terrible- it looks like a filter composed of vasoline and smoke was used. No humour whatsoever. The team of heroes should have just been Arnold, Bruce, and Sly and with them placed in a good franchise like a new PREDATOR or DIE HARD 5.
3/10 | chester1958@ - 156 reviews 14.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
Great date movie, myself and my date enjoyed this movie a lot.
8/10 | lynne_rn@ - first review 14.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I walked into this movie expecting another sequel. I love mindless action, and expected just that. What I did not expect was the humor and fun that this movie presented. The actors have learned over the years not to take themselves too seriously and I enjoyed that aspect of it. If you think this is going to be anything but mindless action, you will be disappointed. If you go in just wanting a blast from the past with some awesome actors, then I think you will enjoy it.
8/10 | taffeta_punk@ - first review 14.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Real american movie... back in the 80's rambo and comando all in the same pot... what a waste of money...
4/10 | seriously@ - first review 13.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Please remember what you are getting into! This is supposed to be a dumb action movie and it succeeds in that goal. While the first Expendables ripped off the audience with the misleading Schwartz/Willis advertising, this sequel actually delivered. Dumb predictable action movie with goofy one liners. If it had any surprises or originality, it would be more than a 7/10, but it is what it is.
7/10 | thetorontodog@ - 32 reviews 13.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I liked this movie quite a bit and I think most would enjoy (it sure is violent!) It's a good movie and worth seeing. It is remarkable how much better this sequel is than the first one (which I did not find as strong) I think it is because this one clearly does not take itself as seriously. Some of the cameos are fairly campy but it is all in good fun which is the idea of the movie in the first place. Fun action movie for what it is, entertaining for almost the entire time (I can't believe I yawned at one point) Certainly nothing earth-shattering but it passes the bill for sure.
7/10 | patrick.sullivan@ - 265 reviews 12.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
If you like this type of movie (mindless action) you will have fun. I'm surprised some people here complained about laughing throughout the movie - that's what made it good! It didn't take itself too seriously, a fault with too many action pics. Extremely violent, with an impressive body count - so definitely not for everyone.
8/10 | jimble@ - 49 reviews 11.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
I'm not going to be alike others on here. I'm not telling on what and who - but it is a joy to see them as they should be seen on the screen. "Expendables Two" is what I wanted - but it just wasn't enough for me. What was the problem? I saw it in a drive-in. I may go see this again in a cinema. Now, I will tell you, "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure" has nothing in it compared to this flick. No, I did not see that movie, but I do know, you'd enjoy this film much more than that. I can't believe that movie was actually made. Anyway, "Expendables Two" is about the past screen masters, now together on the screen, and together for us for a blast to the explosive 1980s/90s. It starts off really abruptly with a crazy action set-up, but then goes into a passable story that is really a return of a threatening villain, played by Van Damme, who actually pulls off the role rather well. I was surprised how much I had missed him from the screen. Even Dolph Lundgren presents himself as a person we'd like to see more of on screen. The real kick was seeing Chuck Norris. I hope he starts making more movies alike this one. This was not a boring, or slow tedious movie. It was what you'd expect from the actors - restored action on screen from veterans we want to count on for action.
6/10 | james_leroy@ - 15 reviews 10.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Wow that was a waste of money. It was so bad I couldn't stop laughing the whole movie. Where the first movie was interesting because it had so many big action actors, this one was just filled with overkills. I usually like all Stallone movies but he is completely horrible here. The only one who's sorta okay is Chuck Norris but just because he is barely in the movie at all. You can be sure I will NOT watch any further movies from this series. Expendibles they sure are!
4/10 | stephenhamel@ - 17 reviews 10.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
This is totally awesome (for the action fans it is) this movie is crazy... in the first five mins there has already been a bunch of explosions and the big guns and tanks were already out! (was a lot of blood though) still awesome with all the action. I will freak out and be amazed if any action film could beat the action from this awesome non-stop awesomeness. It had a great ending, I wouldn't be suprised if they made Expendables 3!
9/10 | electronicman@ - 6 reviews 9.9.2012 |
It was fun right from the beginning. Good guys fight the bad guys. Constant action.
7/10 | snoweagle@ - first review 9.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
It's a good movie, a lot of guns and a lot of bombs, don't miss.
8/10 | dodobird@ - first review 8.9.2012 - age: 1-12 |
A lot of big names in this movie, I expected a bit more out of Chuck Norris though, at least a fight with Van Damme as they are both black belts. There is humour as well, but if you're not paying attention, you'll miss it. (I'll be back) is just one example. Overall it was a good movie, worth seeing.
7/10 | valerie@ - first review 8.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
This movie has no plot and is quite boring. Not even worth renting. The one liners from the gang didn't make it any better.
2/10 | mivanov007@ - 11 reviews 8.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
I love the cameo appearances of Chuck Norris and Arnold. Arnold: "I'll be back" Willis: "you've been back enough!" That line made me laugh hahaa.
7/10 | riskpack@ - 21 reviews 7.9.2012 - age: 18-25 |
The movie was better than I ever thought it would be...
6/10 | sentenza99@ - 605 reviews 6.9.2012 - age: 36-49 |
WOW! During the first 2 minutes there was so much non stop action I thought to myself how can they top this? There is still a whole movie to go! They did it with style!!! I was surprised by the one liners that cracked me up! I laughed so much and felt extremely entertained by its end.
10/10 | nancytutor@ - 3 reviews 6.9.2012 - age: 50+ |
This is a man's movie. Large explosions, heads & other limbs disintegrating, 2 Bad [...] bad guys, great one-liners, smoking cigars, muscles, bad attitude all around, big guns, big arms, big vehicles (hummers, boats, airplanes & more.) The first 15 min is all about kicking [...] and exploding stuff. Plus a few surprise guests make into the movie. Just like old times when movies were made for men and women envied us!
7/10 | jas@ - first review 6.9.2012 - age: 26-35 |
If you want a good laugh and mindless entertainment then this movie is a must. It was hilarious to see Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Arnold and Jean Claude Van Dam all together. Although the story was a little far fetched it brought quiet a few laughs. Enjoy!

Previous N/A | Next Friendship is Magic, part 2 |
Contents |
The plot of the storybook Friendship is Magic, included in the Friendship Is Magic Gift Set and Pony Friends Forever Pony Scooter Friends Daisy Dreams & Rarity bundles, is similar to the plot of the series' two opening episodes.
The episode opens with a brown book with a unicorn on it that reads "Once upon a time," and a narrated prologue begins, telling of two regal sisters ruling together over a magical land of Equestria, shown stylistically in a series of slightly animated drawings resembling medieval illustrations. The sisters are shown as two slender Alicorn ponies, one pinkish white and the other bluish violet. The narration continues that the eldest used her powers to raise the sun, while the younger would bring out the moon at night. As time went on, the younger sister became resentful, for ponies of Equestria enjoyed the day but slept through the night. One night, she refused to lower the moon. This bitterness had transformed her into a "wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon," who vowed to shroud Equestria in eternal night, forcing her sister to use the magic of the Elements of Harmony to banish her to the moon.Studying in CanterlotEdit
The narration switches to the voice of Twilight Sparkle, a unicorn pony, who is laying on a grassy patch in Canterlot reading the book. She finishes by narrating that the eldest sister has been responsible for both sun and moon, and has maintained harmony in Equestria for generations since. She then tries to recall where she's read about the Elements of Harmony before, and the scene fades to the theme song.
As Twilight Sparkle is walking along, three more unicorn ponies - Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, and Minuette - stop her and invite her to a party for Moondancer. She politely refuses with the excuse of having to catch up on studying and runs off, to which Twinkleshine remarks that Twilight is more interested in books than friends.Twilight continues running through Canterlot, passing Lyra Heartstrings and Amethyst Star, also unicorn ponies. Lyra smiles and waves to Twilight, but Twilight shows no signs of noticing her or Amethyst. Lyra stares at her with a deadpan expression, while Amethyst doesn't seem to care. The ponies that Twilight passes will also make appearances in Ponyville later on.
After a run up an ivory-colored spire, Twilight barges through the door and inadvertently knocks over Spike, her dragon assistant, in the process. The gift-wrapped teddy bear he was carrying gets impaled on his tail. She instructs him to find the book "Predictions and Prophecies." Spike explains that the gift was meant for Moondancer, and Twilight replies they have no time for that, to which Spike protests, "but we're on a break."
Twilight uses her unicorn magic to search for the book, and angrily calls for Spike, who has already found it. She magically pulls the book, still held by Spike, and drops all the other books she was looking through, leaving them for Spike to pick up and shelve. She reads that the Mare in the Moon is to be freed from her imprisonment on the longest day of the thousandth year; the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring "night time eternal." This day is also the day of the year's Summer Sun Celebration. From this information, Twilight draws the conclusion that the Mare in the Moon and Nightmare Moon are in fact one and the same. Spike falls off his ladder right on Twilight Sparkle's back, and she instructs him to take a letter to Princess Celestia, warning her of the return of Nightmare Moon. While she's dictating the letter, Nightmare Moon's visage can be seen through a giant hourglass on a similarly shaped statue as Twilight passes it. When Twilight asks Spike to send the letter, he mentions that the princess is busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration "the day after tomorrow." Twilight replies by saying that it's the thousandth day of the Summer Sun Celebration and the princess must be told right away. Spike takes a deep breath and breathes green fire on the letter, which disappears into twinkling smoke as it is sent to the princess. After a brief conversation with Twilight where she asserts the princess trusts her completely, Spike belches green fire and a scroll materializes from it, which he reads to Twilight. The letter is addressed to "My dearest, most faithful student Twilight," and affirms that Celestia trusts Twilight completely, but then tells Twilight she must stop reading "those dusty old books."Meeting ponies in PonyvilleEdit
Twilight Sparkle and Spike are being carried in a flying chariot by two Pegasus ponies in royal guard armor, heading to Ponyville. Spike continues reading the letter, in which Celestia tells Twilight that there's more to life than studying and gives her the task of supervising the preparations for the festival, set up this year in the town of Ponyville. The letter ends with one other task for her to complete...- "Make some friends!"
- — Spike, reading Princess Celestia's letter
Shortly after landing, Spike talks Twilight into trying to make friends with another pony, believing that some of the residents may have something interesting to talk about. A pink pony with a curly pink tail and mane walks up to the two, and when Twilight says "hello," she gasps, springs into the air, and zips out of frame.
- "Well, that was interesting alright."
- — Twilight
- "Soup's on, everypony!"
- — Applejack
Twilight and Spike arrive at Sweet Apple Acres, where they see Applejack kicking a tree to harvest its apples. She vigorously shakes Twilight's hoof and, when she hears Twilight is there to supervise the preparations, offers her to sample some of the food. Applejack rings a rusty triangle and summons her large family, which includes her brother Big McIntosh, sister Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith. Twilight is pleased to see the food situation is handled and politely says she'll be on her way. Apple Bloom then invites her to stay for brunch. Twilight turns down Apple Bloom's invitation for brunch, but the disappointed reaction of the entire Apple family causes her to begrudgingly change her mind.
Rainbow DashEdit
- "HEY, I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat."
- — Rainbow Dash
Spike walks down a path with Twilight Sparkle following behind with her stomach swollen, groaning about having eaten too much pie. Spike mentions a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash is supposed to be clearing the skies, but after a quick look Twilight quips that she's not doing a very good job. Dash accidentally crashes into Twilight, sending them both into a mud puddle. She giggles and apologizes, then brings over a cloud to rain-wash Twilight. The rain soaks Twilight, and Dash attempts to dry her with a small twister which frizzles Twilight's mane and tail. Dash and Spike fall down on the ground laughing at the sight. Twilight concludes that the Pegasus pony is Rainbow Dash and introduces herself, saying she's here to check on the weather. Dash nonchalantly shrugs it off, and informs Twilight that she'll get to it once she's done practicing for the Wonderbolts, an aerial acrobatic team. Twilight scoffs at the idea, challenging Dash to demonstrate her claimed aerial abilities and astound Twilight with her speed and agility. Rainbow Dash claims that she can clear the sky in "ten seconds flat," and exactly ten seconds elapse between Twilight's "prove it" response and the last cloud being kicked away. Dash chuckles and invites Twilight to hang out some more sometime, then flies away.
- "Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color!"
- — Twilight
The scene fades into the inside of the town square pavilion. Spike utters in awe "she's.... beautiful," and Twilight agrees the decor is coming along nicely. "Not the decor, her." Spike points to Rarity, and little pink hearts start bubbling out of his head. Twilight rolls her eyes and greets Rarity, who finishes some decorating and turns to her. Upon seeing Twilight's messy mane, she drags her off to her boutique to give her a makeover. Once Rarity decides on Twilight's look, she asks Twilight where she's from. Twilight starts saying she's from Canterlot, and Rarity cuts her off, glamorizes Canterlot, and cozies up to Twilight. When Rarity turns away to get a different jewel for the dress, Twilight makes her "escape."
Spike is riding Twilight on the way for the next list item to inspect—music, the last one. A choir of birds is heard from a short distance, and Spike and Twilight investigate from the bushes. A yellow Pegasus with a pink mane, soon to be identified as Fluttershy, is orchestrating the bird choir, quietly and politely telling one of the birds that he's a tiny bit off. Twilight introduces herself with a loud "hello," which makes the birds fly off.Twilight apologizes for frightening the birds and compliments Fluttershy on the music, but Fluttershy shyly stares at the ground and says nothing. Twilight tries to break the awkward silence by asking Fluttershy for her name, but her replies are too quiet and timid to clearly make it out. After another awkward pause, Twilight hesitantly concludes that everything is in order and turns to leave.
Fluttershy catches a glimpse of Spike, flies into the air, and exclaims "A baby dragon!" She knocks over Twilight and tells Spike she's never seen a baby dragon before. She fawns over Spike, but Twilight magically pulls him onto her back and starts walking off, with Fluttershy following them and conversing with Spike. She introduces herself as Fluttershy, and keeps questioning Spike on the long way to the library, much to Twilight's dismay. Spike tells Fluttershy that he hatched from a "cute little purple-and-green egg," though later in the series, in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, the egg he hatches from is only purple, with no green at all.
By the time they reach the library, a very large and living hollow tree, that' Spike has finished talking about his entire life story up until their arrival in Ponyville. Twilight tries to brush off Fluttershy, claiming she needs to put Spike to bed. She rudely blocks her way inside and wishes her goodnight.
Inside the library it's pitch black, and only Twilight and Spike can be dimly seen, their eyes kept bright despite the darkness. Spike sarcastically complains about Twilight's rudeness, and Twilight apologizes and explains she needs to be alone to study about Nightmare Moon, without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. The light flicks on, showing dozens of ponies standing all around, who yell "surprise!" Streamers and balloons drop everywhere, and a party whistle blows right in front of Twilight's face before the scene fades to black.
Pinkie PieEdit
The pink pony from earlier introduces herself as Pinkie Pie and says she threw the party in honor of Twilight. She's very talkative, barely letting Twilight get a word in, explaining that she gasped when she saw Twilight because she got the idea to throw her a party when she saw her and realized she's new in town. Twilight pours herself a drink which turns out to be hot sauce, and comically whisks out of the room with her mane on fire. Pinkie adds some of the sauce over a cupcake before eating it, causing the others to look at her awkwardly, however, Pinkie asserts that "It's good."Derpy HoovesEdit
During the party scene, a gray Pegasus pony with straw-colored hair is standing in the background in several shots. During the hot sauce sequence, her face is initially obscured, but after Twilight finishes pouring herself hot sauce, her entire face is visible, and she's making an odd face with her nose scrunched and her eyes crossed. This pony was eventually popularized by fans and named Derpy "Ditzy Doo" Hooves.
Twilight's RoomEdit
- "All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!"
- — Twilight
Twilight is lying in her bed, annoyed, checking the clock. Spike enters the room and invites her for a party game. She snaps at him, and he explains it's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration, and that "everypony" has to stay up or they'll miss the raising of the sun. He tries to soothe her and leaves. Twilight mockingly repeats his last sentence, and dramatically complains to herself about all the "ridiculous friend-making." She remembers the few words about the prophecy from the book: Night Mare Moon would return during the longest day of the thousandth year. Twilight assumes that she was sent to Ponyville because Princess Celestia would think the Mare in the Moon is just an "old pony's tale." Just then, Spike barges in again and invites her to watch the sun rise.
The Return of Nightmare MoonEdit
At the town hall, Pinkie Pie meets up with Spike and Twilight and goes on about how excited she is. Fluttershy's bird choir plays, and the mayor gives a short speech announcing the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration, Near the end of the speech, Twilight nervously watches the moon undergo a transformation. The mayor introduces Princess Celestia, who is mysteriously absent. Rarity announces the princess is gone, and the sound effect of Pinkie Pie's gasp from earlier in the episode is heard. Pinkie Pie yelps when she spots an eerie glowing fog, out of which emerges a dark, swarthy Alicorn, and the crowd gasps. Twilight recognizes the dark figure as Nightmare Moon, making Spike faint. Nightmare Moon addresses the crowd of cowering ponies:- "Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"
- — Nightmare Moon
Rainbow Dash gets furious and tries to charge at Nightmare Moon, only to be stopped by Applejack grabbing and holding her back by her tail. Pinkie Pie takes Nightmare Moon's question literally and throws out several guesses in rapid succession before getting a cupcake shoved in her mouth by Applejack, still restraining Rainbow Dash. Nightmare Moon continues, confronting Fluttershy and Rarity with accusing questions, which prompt Twilight to answer her:
- "You're "The Mare in the Moon", Nightmare Moon!"
- — Twilight
Even though none of the ponies recognize Nightmare Moon, a later episode revolves around an annual festival called Nightmare Night where tales of Nightmare Moon are told and candy is offered to a statue bearing her image. Among the ponies in this scene are Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, who are huddling under a table, but they only introduce themselves to each other in Call of the Cutie. A layout artist working on the show explained that this was an oversight on his part.[2]
After Twilight reveals Nightmare Moon's name, the crowd gasps and Nightmare Moon tells Twilight she's impressed with her knowledge. She asks Twilight if she also knows why she's here, but Twilight is too scared to answer. The episode ends with Nightmare Moon proclaiming that this will be the ponies' last day, and that the night will last forever. She laughs maniacally with a lightning storm gathering around her, and Twilight realizes that things are about to become worse, "a lot worse."
- For more quotes, see the episode's transcript.

- Twilight Sparkle: Take a note, please, to the Princess.

- Spike: Hang on... Preci... preci...
- Twilight Sparkle: Threshold.
- Spike: Uuuhh...
- Twilight Sparkle: Uh, brink? (Spike stares clueless) Ugh! That something really bad is about to happen! "For you see, the mythical Mare in the Moon is in fact Night Mare Moon, and she's about to return to Equestria, and bring with her eternal night. Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.
- Spike: Twilight... Sparkle. Got it!
- Twilight Sparkle: Great. Send it.
- Spike: Now?
- Twilight Sparkle: Of course!
- Spike: Uh, I don't know, Twilight. Princess Celestia's a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. And it's like, the day after tomorrow.

- Rarity: Out of my hair? What about your hair?
- Pinkie Pie: What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring. You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all, hello, and I was all, [gasp], remember? You see I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know every pony, and I mean every pony in Ponyville, and if you're new, then it meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, and I had an idea, and that's why I went [gasp], 'I'll just throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville'. See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!
- Rarity: She's gone!
- [ponies gasping]
- Pinkie Pie: Ooh, she's good. Ahhh!
- [ponies gasping]

- Twilight Sparkle: You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!
- Nightmare Moon: Well well well, a pony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here.
- Twilight Sparkle: You're here to... to... [gulps]
- Nightmare Moon: [cackles] Remember this day ponies. It is your last. The night will last forever! [laughs]
