So i Just watched iron man 2 like last week, and probably all of you did too. and i’d like to post a review about the movie. and let me tell ya, it was AWESOME!! but as alot of people said the movie was all about action so the story wasn’t really that good. but it’s just a minor thing, the majority of the movie was pure awesome-ness. Well, basically the movie is about tony stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) secret identity: Iron Man is now globally known. and he becomes famous and alot of people adore him. But now, since obadiah stane is dead, a new enemy emerged, by the name of ivan vanko ( Mickey Rourke) and he is the son of anton vanko. Anton Vanko was the man who helped Howard Stark (tony’s dad) built stark industries, but both of them had different intentions, so anton vanko was fired. at the start of the movie, anton vanko died, well before he died he said to ivan “it should be you up there” pointing to the tv where tony stark is in the news. Then he died, and ivan builds the mini arc reactor ( just like in tony’s chest). then he came to the track in monaco where tony is racing, then he cut’s tony’s racing car in half with his electric whiplash powered by the mini arc reactor. then tony reaches for the “suit”case. which is a portable iron man suit that’s disguised like a suitcase, it’s not as strong as mark IV iron man suit, but it get’s the job done. then tony defeats ivan by taking the mini arc reactor out of his chest. Later in the story Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell)  recruited ivan to help him make suits and make iron man an antique. So ivan helps Hammer build the suits, but thats what hammer thought. When it was Tony’s birthday he celebrated it in his house ( i think) wearing the Mk IV suit, he was drunk because of the booze, then he goto out of control, pepper tried to stop him, but it didn’t work, so rhodey went down to the lab and he put on the customized Mk II suit, it’ s customized because it has repulsors on his hands. Thet fought and Rhodey won, and he took the Mk II suit to the air force base, and Hammer came and weaponized the suit, after he weaponized it, the Mk II suit became : War Machine

WAR MACHINE

Ivan also finished making the suits, and they were called hammer drones, but that’s not all, he told hammer that the drones would just solute, but in fact, ivan was controlling them all, including the War Machine Armor, so the drones and war machine chased after Iron Man throughout the stark expo, and they crash landed somewhere in the expo. at that time Happy ( Tony’s driver) and agent romanoff ( scarlet johanson ) were fighting the guards at hammer industries and agent romanoff defeated alot of them, while happy only defeated one. and it took a long time. after that agent romanoff headed for the control room and rebooted the war machine armor, when rhodey came to, he was with tony. then agent romanoff told them that there are more incoming (drone). They argued about the position, but it was too late, alot of hammer drones arrived, and they fought them off, in the end they almost failed, but tony had a secret weapon. it’s some sort of laser that cuts everything around it, he used it, but it can only be used once. then, romanoff told them that there’s one more incoming,but with  higher repulsor readings. seconds later, whiplash (ivan) arrived with a new armor

 Whiplash Armor —————————————->

HAMMER DRONE

Iron Man and War Machine fought Whiplash, but they defeated him way too fast, which is a downside to me, because defeating him was not that cool, they defeated him by firing the repulsors in their palms at maximum power at the sametime at the same target which is the middle. when whiplash lost, he said to tony ‘you lose’. then his arc reactor began beeping (a bomb) and the other hammer drones did too, so war machine and tony escaped. but tony came to pepper to save her, because she was in front of one of the hammer drones, he saved her,the bombs exploded, they kissed on the rooftop, they met rhodey, a little conversation and he took off with the war machine armor, it’s because his car was destroyed in the explosion, the next day iron man was recommended to be an AVENGERS INITIATE, but not tony stark, then the next day tony and rhodey was given an award by the senator. after that the credits. AFTER THAT!!, this is a SPOILER TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS IS OVER, THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!! IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ AND/OR WATCH THE after credits scene get out!! just kidding of course,hehe. SO HERE IT IS!!, in the movie agent coulson told tony that he was reassigned to new mexico,in the scene after the credits coulson was driving to a place, when he got out of the car, he saw a crater, and he called someone and said ‘ SIR, WE FOUND HIM’ after that the camera goes down again and shows……… *DRUM ROLL* THOR’S HAMMER!!!!, you know a lot of people said that the after credits scene was a bridge to another marvel movie, that means the nextmarvel movie must be about thor!!!

well, i guess that’s it for now and here’s an official trailer of the next marvel movie THOR on cinemas may 2011, still a long time

Photos of some of the iron man 2 cast

Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko a.k.a WHIPLASH

cool isn’t it?   

well what i found out recently about this movie, that it was supposed to be released at July 10, 2009, before having a final script or any actors attached,and ithink that the movie’s features will be mixed between the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones,that’s what i think anyway well here’s a little (or should i say a lot) info i picked up from wikipedia:   

In March 2004, the production company Jerry Bruckheimer Films sought to acquire feature film rights to the 2003 video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the film to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Under John August as executive producer, the series’ creator Jordan Mechner was hired to write the script. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was converted into a film franchise, and Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, they are taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story   

Early in 2007, Disney announced Prince of Persia as one of its tentpole films and by June had scheduled a release date for July 10, 2009 before having a final script or any actors attached. By November 2007, Disney entered negotiations with Mike Newell to direct the film based on a script by Mechner and Nachmanoff, though the studio held off production until the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike was resolved. Newell was fond of Bruckheimer’s films, and loved the “exciting [and] immensely romantic” script, which reminded him of Lost Horizon. His assistant played the video games and gave the director key details. Mechner, in writing the script, re-conceived the storyline to shift the perspective from the interactive one experienced by video gamers to the non-interactive experience by film audiences. The screenwriter left out elements of the Prince of Persia video games Warrior Within and The Two Thrones and did not anticipate including these elements in the film’s possible sequels. okay that was the info about the production of this movie, and now the casting   

On May 20, 2008 it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal is to portray Dastan, the protagonist of the film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explained his choice, “He’s a wonderful actor. He’s someone I’ve been watching for a long time and somebody I’ve always wanted to work with.” Gyllenhaal claims he “over-prepared for the role, gaining five or six pounds of muscle. The actor says, “…I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I’d be hopefully able to do anything.” Gemma Arterton was announced to play the role of protagonist Tamina and Arterton reported she practiced horse back riding in Madrid before filming Ben Kingsley is to portray the film’s antagonist, Nizam. Alfred Molina is to portray a character named Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince. Toby Kebbell is to play a prince of Persia, Dastan’s brother, and head of the Persian army.   

here are the photos of the Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time Cast

Autobots

Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime is the leader of The Autobots,he is the most powerful of all the autobots,(well that’s what i think,anyway),somewhere in the movie,Optimus fought a lot of decepticons,including starscream and megatron,alone,while the other autobots were on their way to help Optimus.For a while victory was on Optimus’ side,but then,suddenly,when optimus thought he had destroyed all of the decpticons there,and when Optimus was focussing on sam’s life,Megatron impales him from behind,and i thought he was dead,but he wasn’t,megatron put him in a stasis lock.He was in the “stasis lock” mode for quite a while,until almost at the end of the movie,sam put the matrix of  leadership in his chest,and he was brought back to life,but suddenly The Fallen took the matrix of leadership out of his chest and made him weak again,then,the heavily wounded  Jetfire,told Optimus to take his parts (since he no longer needs them),and then Jolt and Electrify fused their parts to become this

Optimus + Jetfire

Of course,what Transformers movie would be complete without our robot hero Bumblebee?the answer to that is no!. No Trasnformers movie would ever be complete without bumblebee,and what’s even better that Bumblebee is new,improved,and better than ever,Bumblebee’s car version is the new (and i think still concept)2010 Chevrolet Camaro,it’s way more cooler than the last one,check it out

Bumblebee

Bumblebee  also known as “Sam’s guardian”,well,i can’t say much about him,you all know everything about him,hehe.

Well,the next ones are Ironhide and Ratchet,Ironhide’s vehicle version is a 2007  GMC Topkick C4500,while Ratchet’s Vehicle version is a lime yellow 2008 Hummer H2,well here are their pictures

First,  Ironhide

Second,Ratchet

Well,these are the robots from The First film,now i will show you,the new additions to the autobots and decepticons

SideSwipe

SideSwipe’s Vehicle version is The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept,which is very cool

Skids and Mudflap also known as “The Twins”

Skids green 2009 chevrolet beat and Mudflap Red 2009 Chevrolet Trax

Arcee is actually made of  3 robot bikes 

When the three combines it looks like this

Cool,isn’t it?

The next is Jetfire i only have his picture in the aircraft mode,couldn’t find the robot mode,hehe,sorry

Well,that’s it for the autobots the next is the decepticons

DECEPTICONS

First,SideWays

And Megatron

Megatron was brought back to live by the decepticons,but this time he’s way more powerful,and now he transforms into a cybertronian tank,

unlike the first movie,i think it was a cybertronian aircraft

Well,i guess that’s it for the decepticons,sorry i only gave you all a very minimum info on the decepticons,i didn’t have a lot of time in my hands,and my fingers are getting tired too,

Thanks for Reading,leave a comment of what you think about this,and i’ll change it when i can,ok?

The 599 GTB Fiorano (internal code F139) is an Italian gran turismo produced by Ferrari. It is the brand’s two-seat flagship, replacing the 575 M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model.

Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari’s Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.

Specifications

Drive train

Tipo F133F 6.0 L (5999 cc) V12 engine produces a maximum 620 PS (456 kW; 612 hp), making it the most powerful series production Ferrari road car. Its 608 N·m (448 ft·lbf) of torque will also be a high for Ferrari’s GT cars. Most of the modifications to the engine were done to allow it to fit in the Fiorano’s engine bay (the original Enzo version could be taller as it would not block forward vision due to its mid-mounted position). The company claims a top speed in excess of 330 km/h (205 mph), 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds,[1] and 11.0 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph).[3]

Handling GT Evoluzione package

It is an upgrade that improves the car’s handling.

The package includes a modified set-up with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar as well as new calibration settings for the magneto-rheological shock absorbers when the manettino is at its sportier settings. The ride height has also been lowered, which also lowers the car’s centre of gravity. The package also includes optimised tyres featuring a compound that offers improved grip.

The car’s electronics have also change. The gearbox’s shifts are faster in high-performance settings, while a new engine software improved accelerator response.

The exhaust silencer was modified to produce more marked and thrilling sound under hard usage whilst still delivering just the right comfort levels at cruising speed.

The exterior and interior were upgraded with more carbon fibre components.

It also includes new 20-inch rims.[5]

599XX

The 599XX is a car designed for track use, based on 599 GTB. Engine’s maximum speed is increased to 9000rpm with engine rated 700 PS (690 hp/515 kW)@9000rpm. Weight is reduced by cutting the weight of the engine unit components, and use of composites and carbon-fibre body parts, carbon-fibre brake pads. A new gearbox shift strategy is introduced to cut overall gear change time to 60 ms. Aerodynamics were retuned to give more downforce (280kg @ 200km/h, 630kg @ 300km/h). The car also includes 29/67 R19 front and 31/71 R19 rear tires with 19 x 11J wheel rims at the front and 19 x 12J at the rear.

The car was unveiled in 2009 Geneva Auto Show.[5]

Hybrid

Motor Authority reported that Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was working on the development of a Ferrari that will use alternative energy sources and which will be based on what we are doing at the moment in Formula 1, which uses Kinetic Energy Recycling System. The KERS was tested using a prototype 599.[6]

Awards

* Evo magazine named the 599 GTB as the Car of the Year for 2006.
* Top Gear Magazine also named the 599 GTB as the Supercar of the Year 2006

In addition, some proponents of the doomsday premise argue ancient Mayan astronomers were aware of a rare alignment of the Earth, Sun and center of the Milky Way on the December solstice in 2012. According to this belief, the alignment is tied to the precession of the equinoxes and signals a transition from one world age to another. A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that, during this time, the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a physical or spiritual transformation rather than an apocalypse.^[1]

Skeptics of the apocolyptic forecast include scholars of Mayan civilization. Those versed in the study of classical Mayan civilization dispute the apocalyptic interpretation of the Long Count calendar end-date and the precession-alignment interpretation, insisting that the date 12/21/2012 simply marks a resetting of the calendar to Baktun 13.0.0.0.0.^[2] Experts on the ancient Maya tend to see the focus on 2012 as a manifestation of Mayanism, a collection of New Age beliefs that reinterpret and potentially distort ancient Mayan culture.

Some New Age interpretations emphasize a spiritual “shift in consciousness” over physical change, with authors such as Daniel Pinchbeck arguing that materialistic attitudes, rather than the material world, are in jeopardy. Historian Richard G. Kyle notes that predictions of the imminent end of the world have a very long history, with hundreds of documented examples, some associated with religious prophecies, others with astronomical events such as comets or eclipses, and others with calendar events such as the millennium.^[3]

[edit] December 21, 2012

The significance of this date in Mayanism stems from the ending of the current baktun cycle of the Maya calendar in 2012, which many believe will create a global “consciousness shift” and the beginning of a new age. Speculation about this date can be traced to the first edition of The Maya (1966) by Michael D. Coe, in which he suggested the date of December 24, 2011, as one on which the Maya believed “Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation.”^[4] This date became the subject of speculation by Frank Waters, who devotes two chapters to its interpretation, including discussion of an astrological chart for this date and its association with Hopi prophecies in Mexico Mystique (1975). The significance of the year 2012 (but not a specific day) was mentioned briefly by José Argüelles in The Transformative Vision (1975).^[5]

Waters’ book inspired further speculation by John Major Jenkins in the mid-1980s, including revision of the date to one corresponding with the winter solstice in 2012. Interpretations of the date became the subject of further speculation by José Argüelles in The Mayan Factor (1987), promoted at the 1987 Harmonic Convergence. It received further elaboration in the Novelty theory of Terence McKenna. The supposed prediction of an astronomical conjunction of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy with the winter solstice Sun on December 21, 2012, referred to by John Major Jenkins in Galactic Alignment as having been predicted by the ancient Maya and others, is a much-anticipated event in Mayanism. Although Jenkins suggests that ancient Maya knowledge of this event was based on observations of the “dark rift” in the Milky Way as seen from Earth, others interpret it as evidence of knowledge imparted via ancient contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The relevance of modern “dark rift” observations to Pre-Columbian and traditional Maya beliefs is strongly debated, and many academic archaeologists have been skeptical of all theories regarding extraterrestrial contact, but it is clear that the promotion of Mayanism through interest in 2012 doomsday scenarios is contributing to the evolution of religious syncretism in contemporary Maya communities. Psychonaut author Daniel Pinchbeck popularized New Age concepts about this date, linking it to beliefs about crop circles, alien abduction, and personal revelations based on the use of entheogens and mediumship in his 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl ^[6].

[edit] Prophecies

The History Channel in its coverage of the 2012 Doomsday Prediction cites a number of prophecies that may relate to the present day.^[7] For example, in the 1940s members of the Hopi tribe warned that of a series of global catastrophes would strike after nine omens were realized. A third world war, geologic upheaval, hotter temperatures, drought and famine would all contribute to the collapse of civilization. This prediction was integrated into an older legend and is today known as the Hopi Prophecy. Among the omens that presage the final days are supposed to be a “spider web crisscrossing the earth” and a “blue star”.^[8]

Other prophecies considered by doomsday proponents to be relevant to modern times include:

• The Book of Revelation, by John of Patmos.
• The Sibylline Books.
• The Quatrains and what the History Channel has dubbed the ‘Lost Book of Nostradamus’ (actually the Vaticinia Nostradami, a version of a misattributed collection of paintings of prophetic papal emblems from long before his time known as the Vaticinia de Summis Pontificibus).
• The Prophecy of the Popes, by Saint Malachy.
• Terrence Mckenna’s Timewave Zero interpretation of the I Ching.

Two Medieval prophets dramatized in the History Channel program 2012: End of Days are Mother Shipton (a.k.a. Ursula Southeil) and Myrddin Wyllt. Both were said to have envisioned an apocalypse during the era of modern technological society. However, the authorship of both prophecies is disputed by scholars.

In The Orion Prophecy (2001), Patrick Geryl and Gino Ratinckx allege that descendents of the utopian civilization Atlantis settled along the Nile following the end of the last major ice age. These Atlanteans survived a catastrophic flood and later encoded a warning about a 2012 apocalypse in hieroglyphs. According to Geryl and Ratinckx, this prophecy can be found inside the Sphinx, the pyramids at Giza and the zodiacs in the Greco-Roman Dendera temple. The authors cite a rare translation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead by the French mathematician Albert Slosman, as well as Slosman’s book Le Grand Cataclysme (1976), as sources.^[9]

[edit] Precession-alignment theory

In the solar system, gravity causes the sun and planets to share the same plane of orbit. In the night sky, this plane is known as the ecliptic. The twelve Zodiac constellations move along or near the ecliptic, and over time, appear to recede counterclockwise one degree every 72 years – that is, from our perspective looking up from the ground. This movement is attributed to a slight wobble in the earth’s axis as it spins. As a result, approximately every 2160 years, the constellation visible on the early morning of the spring equinox changes. This signals the end of one astrological age (currently the Age of Pisces) and the beginning of another (Age of Aquarius). Over the course of 26,000 years, the precession of the equinoxes makes one full circuit around the ecliptic.

This phenomenon underlies the principle of “galactic alignment”, a rarely occurring intersection of the earth, sun and galactic equator. The next alignment happens to coincide with the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar on the December solstice in 2012. Former software engineer John Major Jenkins is credited with the premise that the classical Mayans anticipated this conjunction and celebrated it as the harbinger of a profound spiritual transition for mankind.

New Age proponents of the Precession-alignment theory argue that, just as astrology uses the positions of stars and planets to predict the future, the Mayans plotted their calendars with the objective of preparing for significant world events.^[10]

[edit] Criticism

Most university astronomers and other academics specializing in Mayan studies reject the galactic alignment theory. There is no evidence in the archaeological record to demonstrate that the classical Mayan civilization attached any apocalyptic significance to the completion of the 13 Bak’tun, and the Long Count calendar does not end on 13.0.0.0.0.^[11] Reputable scholars such as Linda Schele and David Freidel^[12] point out that the end of the current Mayan long count is not in fact due until day 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0 from the theoretical end of the previous world in 3114 BC (an ‘end of the world’ totally unknown either to history or to archeology) – which, with each column equal to twenty times its predecessor, lies some 41,341,049,999,999,999,999,999,994,879 years in the future. Thus, the claims of Jenkins and other amateur history detectives are considered speculative at best. University of Florida astronomer Susan Milbrath, author of Star Gods of the Maya, is among those who have accused 2012 doomsday proponents of exploiting Mayan culture to advance political or personal agendas.^[13] Moreover, skeptics point out that, since the nucleus of the Milky Way cannot be identified without high-powered telescopes, the Mayans could not have been aware of its location.^[14] Critics suggest that fears about 2012 should be tempered by the fact that the alignment in question takes place over a 36-year period, corresponding to the diameter of the sun, with the most precise convergence having already occurred without incident in 1998.^[15]

[edit] Dissemination

Interest in the 2012 Doomsday Prediction has spread in recent years as a result of several programs airing on the History Channel, a groundswell of internet sites and blogs, and numerous books on the subject. George Noory, main host of Coast to Coast AM, believes something significant will happen in 2012, and in recent years it has been a common theme on the show.^[16]

Books that refer to the 2012 Doomsday Prediction include Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization’s End (2007) by Lawrence E. Joseph, How to Survive 2012: Tactics and Survival Places for the Coming Pole Shift (2008) by Patrick Geryl. 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (2007) by Daniel Pinchbeck, Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End (2008) by Philip Plait, A Vision for 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change (2008) by John Peterson, A Guide to the End of the World (2002) by Bill McGuire, The Orion Prophecy (2001) by Patrick Geryl and Gino Ratinckx, 2013 Oracle: Ancient Keys to the 2012 Awakening The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies and Possibilities (2008) by Gregg Braden, (2006), Serpent of Light (2007) by Drunvalo Melchizedek, and The Maya End Times : A spiritual adventure to the heart of the Maya prophecies for 2012 (2008) by Patricia Mercier. A movie called 2012, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring John Cusack, is scheduled for release in 2009. It is the latest action film premised on the world ending in the early 21st century. Emmerich has experience in directing apocalyptic movies: he directed Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow.
