Well, I'm guessing you can tell who's my favorite judging from the pics I've posted
The only thing that I can think of to complain about is that there should be way more battle scenes. And more screen time for Huo Qubing.
Hello, I cannot see the pics you've posted. Can you post them again, as I also like Huo Qubing

Okay, I Watched All of "Wish I Was Here." And It Was Not Good.
Last week, I tried to go see Zach Braff's Kickstarter-funded film Wish I Was Here. I was just trying to have a good time. Instead, the film was so irritating and self-centered that I walked out halfway through. When I wrote about why I walked out, a chorus of people told me that I was being ridiculous. People said I wasn't being fair to Zach Braff. They said that the film really turns around in the second half and points out that the male protagonist has been absurdly selfish.
So I did it. I went back to the theater. At your request, I sat through the entire 106-minute duration of Wish I Was Here. Along with exactly 10 other people in the theater, I watched the whole Braff-stravaganza.
Spoiler alert: It was not good.
Let me just recap by saying that I actually wanted this film to be good. Like I said, I am not ashamed to admit that I like Garden State. I like The Shins. I can appreciate spending a hot afternoon just watching a fun, sentimental movie.
But as a narrative, Wish I Was Here needs a lot of work. Zach Braff plays Aidan, a self-centered, 35-year-old father who wants to follow his dreams, while Kate Hudson plays his wife Sarah. Together they parent two gratingly quirky children.
My biggest complaint with Wish I Was Here is that the film—co-written by Braff and his brother—includes many plotlines and moments that are simply uninteresting because viewers aren't invested enough in the characters to care about what happens to them. I found myself with more questions than empathy as Aidan's brother Noah walked through Comic-Con or while Sarah talked to Aidan's father about her sister. Braff skims the surface with his characters—such as Ashley Greene's character Janine—and we don't learn enough about them. It feels like Janine exists, for example, only as a way to tell us something about Noah: specifically that Noah isn't so weird that women won't have sex with him. Sarah, too, mostly just supports Aidan's storyline—it feels like the story only spends time on her to teach us things about Aidan. Time from the cheesy CGI animation interruptions could have been used to give more depth to these central characters.
Josh Gad plays Noah Bloom, who would maybe be an interesting character in another film.
But one of the worst thing about sitting through the duration of Wish I Was Here was that very little actually happened. Sure, Sarah is harassed at work and reports it. And Aidan and Sarah have an oddly embarassing make-out scene in their laundry room. Eventually, Aidan's father dies. But this movie lacks momentum that would keep viewers like me engaged in the story. It doesn't feel like there's any real change in the characters, they just go about their mundane everyday activities, such as fixing a fence or cleaning a pool, which offer little in terms of dialogue and feel like they're solely in the film for the purpose of watching Aidan swoon over his children alongside a Best of Indie Music 2013-driven montage. If you want to see a good movie about a family learning about themselves while they perform mundane activities, save your money and go watch Boyhood.
By the end of the film, I felt like Wish I Was Here was trying to spoonfeed the audience hipster wisdom. What are the messages in the end? That swear jar money buys happiness? That those who can't do must teach? That if your wife is harassed at work, you must save her? That everyone really should Just Be Themselves and learn to be happy? Wish I Was Here did not break barriers or say anything new about happiness. Underneath the lilting voice of Bon Iver is still the privileged dude who finds a job, sues his wife's business, rarely thinks beyond his own interests, and victoriously puts his kids in a better school.

Thanks for seeing it through
Thanks for seeing it through to the end. Barely- tolerable movies are the worst part about film reviewing, but you are a hero to the rest of us. Now we know what to skip.
I was put off my this movie
I was put off my this movie and Braff when I heard an interview with him and he acknowledged that he has always had a desire to be rescued by a woman and his movies are basically a way for him to express those desires. Well, good for him, but it seems like a really shallow grounds to build a movie upon, not to mention I'm really put off by the idea that the women he writes exist only to somehow serve him. With that in mind, I'm not surprised that this film lacks character development. And ugh, really? Rescue yourself, dude.
I have never found Zach Braff
I have never found Zach Braff even remotely interesting. It seems he's far too amused by himself in literally everything he does. I pretty much avoid him like the plague for that very reason. Bleh.
I'm just putting this here as
I'm just putting this here as an anecdotal notice: my dude friends who saw this movie mentioned "a coming-of-age story, not great but decent," and "Zach Braff doing his thing - it's comfortable."
My chick friends - some of them being mates of previously-mentioned dudes - had nothing so optimistic to report. "I'm suddenly pissed off," and "I don't hate Zach Braff, but now I get why the internet does."
It's an interesting thing to notice, is all.
I think you and I saw different movies
So first off, you didn't address how super wrong you were about the plot, which you should probably do.
But otherwise, what you refer to as lack of character development I consider giving your audience some credit for being able to infer things about characters from small details. I appreciate this in movies far more than tons of extrapolation and excess amounts of actions and plot. This film didn't need it; it's not that kind of film. I'm not saying it was the greatest movie ever, but I think it's obvious that your biases have turned you into a non-objective critic.

Experian denies claims made on Channel 4 Dispatches programme
Posted: February 25, 2014|
NOTTINGHAM firm Experian has hit back at TV claims that it doesn't do enough to correct errors in the information it provides about people's credit status.
Channel 4's Dispatches programme sent an undercover reporter into one of the credit checking giant's Nottingham offices to pose as a member of staff. In last night's broadcast, it showed employees in the firm's Credit Expert division apparently being told in a training session not to advise customers about ways they could get mistakes on their credit score rapidly corrected.
The errors can crop up because of mistakes about people's identity on information collected by lenders and passed on to Experian.
In a statement, Experian defended the accuracy of its records, saying: "We strongly refute the claims made by Dispatches, many of which were misleading, which is why we chose to appear on the show in person.

The city of Albuquerque has added new features to its website to help it become more transparent.
The biggest change was the addition of the so-called 'ABQ Dashboard.'
Mayor Richard Berry says the dashboard is a simpler version of 'ABQ View.'
Berry said it has all the same information, but is easier to access.
The city has also added some new information to the site.

No prior knowledge is assumed or is necessary.
In the second year you will have the opportunity to apply the economics principles learned in your first year to the policy implications of economic theory. You will develop your understanding of economic interpretation, combining the study of applied and theoretical aspects of the subject in core modules on macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics. Elective modules will enable you to focus on the areas of most interest to you.
In the third year you will build on your core understanding of microeconomics and macroeconomics, while sharpening your skills through consideration of particular applications of economic theory. You will develop a deeper understanding of the latest research in economics through advanced economics topics, while the compulsory independent research project provides you with the opportunity for an in-depth investigation into an appropriate topic and allows you to specialize in a particular aspect of economics that interests you most.
How will I be taught?
Core material is delivered through lectures, and reinforced by small-group seminars and tutorials. These will help you to deepen your understanding of the subject matter and develop a range of essential, transferable skills. Group-working and delivering presentations will help you to improve your communication and leadership skills. All modules are backed up by electronic resources to help you study beyond the classroom, and a wealth of printed texts is available in the University library, and the National Library of Wales, which is situated next to the main campus.
You will be assessed by a variety of methods, including examinations, assessed essays, reports, projects and presentations. Coursework will develop your capacity to research, analyse and present data clearly and coherently, while seminars will help you hone your presentation and communication skills.
You will be assigned a personal tutor throughout your degree course, who will help you with any problems or queries, whether these are academic-related or personal issues. You should feel free to contact them at any time for help and advice.
You will also have the opportunity to complete a Personal Development Plan (PDP) at Aberystwyth. This is a structured process of self-appraisal, reflection, and planning, which will enable you to chart your personal, academic and professional development throughout your time at university. By recording your academic performance, and highlighting the skills you already have and those you will need for future employability, the PDP portfolio will equip you with the necessary tools to plan effectively, develop successful approaches to study, and consider your future career options and aspirations.
What I love about my course is its scope, broadness and the fact that there is probably no area which is not intertwined with it. Patryk Szostak
I enjoy learning about how the economy works. How money isn't just printed out at any time, but is controlled by the government. Economics allows me to understand the fundamental problems that all societies face. Moreover, it focuses on the interaction of the market and people, how economic agents behave or interact, and how the economy works. Fon Yih Young

Full detailed profile on Matt Reardon Played by Kurt McKinney on Guiding Light Daytime Soap Opera.
Kurt McKinney
Birthday: 1962-02-13
Matt and his daughter drink V8 on the porch when Buzz comes out to talk to them. Matt tells them that he's glad Bill is doing better. After they walk off, Natalia walks down the stairs and rambles about her busy schedule. Buzz dries her tears and asks her what's wrong. They discuss the money she lost and he offers to float the rent for awhile. She refuses. He encourages her to try more risks and be true to her dreams. She runs upstairs to get her purse.
Blake and her daughter are at the convenience store when they run into Matt and his daughter. Blake flirts with him and then they talk about the V8 food drive. They talk about what they are doing for the holiday and Matt invites them to join them.
Blake and Lillian have Matt carry all of the gifts for Reva's baby shower into Company. He puts the packages down and wants to run. Blake needs him to stay and help assemble everything. She shouts orders and Matt starts to wish he had another baby. They sit around and begin testing all of the baby toys. Blake teases Matt. He tests the baby monitor with Buzz. Lillian slips into the kitchen with Buzz to make out. Later, he starts clearing up and babbling to people in the restaurant before noticing that Jeffrey and Reva are on the way. They smuggle all of the boxes out and over to Mallet and Marina's.
Matt arrives at Company and tells Buzz about his problems with Vanessa and the mess at the mansion. Buzz asks him to move into the boarding house. Spotting a depressed Daisy, he gives her a plate of fries. Matt walks over to her and asks her if she is still babysitting and says that Maureen misses her. She's quiet. He leaves. She plays with her fries. Buzz asks her what's wrong. She can't pretend that she doesn't care about Grady; he's just a person who has screwed up. Buzz isn't convinced that Grady has been trying to turn around and tells her that you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. Daisy doesn't feel like she has a life of her own. "Get a life... and I mean that in the nicest possible way," he advises.
Dinah runs into Matt outside of Company. He's been looking for her mother. "Maureen misses you," he adds, offering to bring her over to the station to spend time with her. Dinah stutters. Matt thinks she's over-complicating her life. She takes his coffee and walks away.
Billy and Vanessa have a drink at Towers. They toast to Henry and Billy tells her that she's the light of his life. They wonder how they can knock some sense into their son. She wonders why Bill and Lizzie don't just get married and start a family. They're both trying to run the same corporation, Billy explains. They remember how they messed things up in their own lives. After she leaves, Billy walks across the bar and sits with Matt. They gab about Bill and Lizzie and how sad it is to watch them throw their relationship away. Then they commiserate about losing Vanessa. Billy wants to let him know that he is looking for a second chance with Vanessa. Matt knows that she is a free agent again so he can't stop him, but he won't wish him luck because he's sure that he is wrong for her.
As Natalia tries to drive off, her car breaks down. She runs into Towers and bumps into Matt. He offers to give her a lift. They drive over to the prison and she arrives just as Buzz is leaving. She gives him a hug and goes in to see her son. He tells her that God is still looking out for him. Outside of him, her faith is all she has, she says. She apologizes for not getting him another lawyer. He tells her to let it go. He'll take the deal. She begins to weep. He urges her to live her own life and trust him to make the right decision. "Making the right decision may not be easy but it's right," he says. In tears, she agrees to go along with his plan.
Dinah runs into Matt at the gym. She wants to take Maureen out. He already has plans with her. They call Vanessa to sort it out. He admits that Maureen misses her and the mansion. He hates the place himself. She says that there will be other homes. Ashlee calls Dinah for a meeting. "It's okay not to be okay," he tells Dinah. She claims that she doesn't understand and walks out.
Dinah and Ashlee go to the gym. Matt is still there. Ashlee begins babbling to him until he leaves. They both think he's very cute, but they need to focus. Ashlee just wants to focus on cute boys. Dinah picks up some weights.
At the mansion, Dinah is greeting the wedding guests anxiously. Matt arrives and she asks him to keep an eye on Bill. Across the lawn, Jeffrey arrives. Olivia chews him out for being late. He walks off to talk to his daughter. Reva says she has no idea what's going on.

DVD OF THE WEEK: Dodes'ka-denReview by Vadim Rizov (The Village Voice, The House Next Door).
1970's Dodes'ka-den stands alone and damned in film history as the rare film whose failure drove its director to attempt suicide. Unprecedented in Akira Kurosawa's career up to that point (its failure guaranteed no similar offerings), Dodes'ka-den was horrendously received in Japan; Kurosawa responded by slashing himself over 30 times with a razor. He survived; the film's reputation didn't. Criterion's issue of the film offers a chance at redemption. Safe to say the film won't be canonically integrated anytime soon — it's fairly turgid — but also rewarding viewing for Kurosawa devotees. There's nothing else like it in his canon. Dodes'ka-den unfolds in a bombed-out trash heap on the outskirts of Tokyo just after the war (a piece of information I would've never sussed out without the ever-invaluable Criterion essay supplements). Debris stretches in every direction; the scale of the disaster (and the set) put me in mind of another huge failure with a big set, Jacques Tati's Playtime. Kurosawa begins inside the house of Rokkuchan (Yoshitaka Zushi); while his mother (Kin Sugai) prays to Buddha, he joins her inside the room, praying for his mother to be less stupid. There are tears in her eyes, but not because he's cruel: he's actually the literally retarded one, operating an imaginary trolley with complete conviction, marveling at the dolts that almost get run over. The inside of their house is like a chapel designed by kindergarteners: bright crayon drawings of trolleys fill up the panes, and sunlight blows them out. It's poverty as outsider pop art. Indeed, Dodes'ka-den is best known for its color, which is truly, luridly dazzling (especially when Kurosawa introduces blatantly artificial colored sky sets that look like leftovers from Kwaidan; he'd use them for the rest of his career, the only directly salvageable thing from this film). There's a particularly terrific moment of rainfall on the lake, with the studio-controlled rain micro-changing its falling patterns, creating fantastic patterns on the water's surface. More ominously, there's a moment when mute Katsuko (Tomoko Yamikazi) is raped by her uncle on a bed of fake red roses, splayed out against its ad-hoc bedding (an image that presumably seared itself into Alan Ball's head). At its worst, Dodes'ka-den suggests filmed theater: characters enter in theatrical silence, perform some "business," then get down to the hard work of long, showy exchanges. (This is a film of many characters, most of whom don't get their full due.) Yet that clash between theater's blatant artifice and film's subtler kind suggests another tension, one that Kurosawa would exploit in his later work the more static his camera became: the role of theatricality and ritual, and what happens when emotions becomes too intense and rupture that surface. Dodes'ka-den is showy, but it points the way to Kurosawa's later discipline in exploiting the gap between stylized ritual and emotion. For that alone it's worth a look; you can actually logically get to Kagemusha from here. Criterion's DVD has the colors in perfect shape and the usual primer essays. The original trailer is here, but there's not much of value in it. There's also a 2003 documentary from the Toho Masterworks series, which is pretty dull — talking head, still, talking head, still — but full of valuable information, like reminding us that one of the reasons Kurosawa went five years between Red Beard and this was his attempt to make Runaway Train, which later became a basic-cable Jon Voight staple. (It's also punctuated by really ominous synths that sound like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?") -- vadim rizov

I actually loved this film. It made an indelible impression on me, and I haven't forgotten it, though it has been years since I saw it. It deserves to be reconsidered.Posted by: Marilyn at March 18, 2009 1:47 PM
"Dodes'ka-den" is, to me, very like many of Kurosawa's other films: it is a lighter version of his "Lower Depths" and shares the bombed out look of "Drunken Angel" and "Stray Dog" and even the neighborhood that becomes a park in "Ikiru." The fantasy and imagism remind me of some of "Dreams" as well.
Kurosawa reworked many themes and images over his career. "Dodes'ka-den" is an outlier among his work but it is part and parcel of it too.Posted by: gmoke at March 29, 2009 10:15 PM
I must say I found this Criterion release dissappointing when compared the French Wild Side Films version. Just the vibrancy of the reds, blues and yellows (which I assume was central to Kurosawa's vision for the film) makes so much difference to the enjoyment of this film even allowing that it was a struggle for me to follow the French sub-titles.
I have set up some comparison screenshots here: http://kurosawa.jokerman.net/dodeskaden.html
I would very strongly recommend any fan of this film buy a copy of the Wild Side Films version.Posted by: Doug at March 30, 2009 2:23 AM

Tim Boetsch | I Am Going To Smash Okami At UFC 144
"My initial reaction was really surprised to be completely honest. It was a huge step into competition. I was pretty surprised that they were giving me the chance to fight the top of the ladder so soon. I was like, 'holy cow.' I didn't think I would move up that quickly, but at the same time I was excited because that's where I want to be. I've always wanted to fight the best guys in the world… Certainly he'll be the hometown favorite, but that's always been one of the aspects I like. I always enjoy going into someone's house and beating them in front of their crowd. He's tough to fight anywhere, yet alone his own country where there won't be any quit in him. Honestly, I could see myself fighting for the No.1 contender's spot after this fight. I won't get a title shot, but I see myself fighting for that spot very soon. But, before that can happen, everyone will get to see me smash Okami."
Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch took to Bleacherreport.com to state his case for victory this weekend against Yushin Okami at UFC 144.
After defeating Nick Ring in "The Barbarians" second middleweight appearance he now faces the crème of the crop, the monster at the top of his division, Yushin Okami.
Will Boetsch be able to rise to the occasion and cement himself as a middleweight elitist or will he fail at the hands of Japans most successful Mixed Martial Arts practitioner?

yeah, good luck with that…..
I want Boetsch to win…
yeah, good luck with that mate…..
im guessing that picture is from boetsch fighting at 205?? i cant remember seeing this guy fight.. but its hard to believe anyone other than sonnen or silva smashing okami.. i think this guy is 5′ 11″ .. okami 6′ 2″ .. i wonder if okami will be able to dictate the pace with his improved stand up..
can anyone give an impression on boetsch.. cause im in the dark here.. does he have good standup? wrestling?
shoulda changed my name before i posted.. was referring to sylvia .. the heavyweight douche bag.. not boetsch .. with the other name
He's a wrestler with mediocre striking. Okami should school him. Got beat up at 205. Dropped to 185 n I think he's got 1 win under his belt there.
its 2 cause he destroyed nick ring after beating kendall grove
thx guys.. looking forward to the fights
Their both about a even matchup, I'd say
I'll believe it when I see it, and right now I'm not buying his hype.
I like that they're giving Japanese fighters actual good fights instead of UFC 142 where they gave the Brazilian fighters fights they're supposed to win.Then again Japanese fans are like 100x more respectful than the Brazilian ones so they won't boo if the home guy loses. Okami will walk right through him though.
He looks more like the "Beerbarian"…..and I trademarked that, by the way
