Making Decision

ReikoMVP — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 08:41:35 +0800

I know there has been a lot question like this but sometimes it's outdated.

My case is I plan on buying a used suv as a second vehicle that cost below 60k (looking for more space cause family got bigger), but since the oil price just raise last few days, I really need to think the fc and maintenance of those suv really2 deep because I will use it to travel KL-cyberjaya everyday.

I really don't want to go for 2.5 suv because of the roadtax. and I'm not kind a guy loves speed.
I'll already check at mudah and my choice probably is.

2002 Toyata Harrier 2.2 (more than 10 years already)
2004 Honda CRV 2.0 (ok but some said this engine not good might cause trouble)
2006 Nissan X-Trail 2.0 (ok but other mention it's FC worst than Crv)
2008 Grand Vitara 2.0 (good looks but pricy spare part and fuel guzzler)

should i really go for CRV because of FC and maintenance ?

anyway thanks in advance for those who gave suggestion

Woman "sue" McDonalds over hot coffee

More than 20 years ago, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck ordered coffee at a McDonald’s drive-through in Albuquerque, N.M. She spilled the coffee, was burned, and one year later, sued McDonald’s. The jury awarded her $2.9 million. Her story became a media sensation and fodder for talk-show hosts, late-night comedians, sitcom writers and even political pundits. But cleverness may have come at the expense of context, as this Retro Report video illustrates. And below, a consumer affairs reporter for The Times reflects on how the world has changed since the lawsuit.

10 CONTROVERSIAL COMIC BOOK MOVIE CASTINGS

ReikoMVP — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 16:05:05 +0800

[1]Michael Keaton, 'Batman'

Warner Bros.
If you're a Batman fan of a certain age, Michael Keaton will always be your favorite actor to wear the cape and cowl. But what many of us were too young to realize at the time was that Keaton's casting was met with more than a few guffaws from DC Comics fans.

Remember that Keaton was mostly a comedy star at the time, with roles in films like 'Beetlejuice' and 'Mr. Mom' that didn't exactly scream "tortured cape-wearing vigilante." His casting came at the height of the age of Stallone and Schwarzenegger, and many fans felt that Keaton lacked the proper action-movie chops and traditional leading-man features. While you're signing the petition to get Warner Bros. to dump Affleck, keep in mind that they went through this already back in 1988 when 50,000 fans wrote in protesting Keaton's casting. (And back then, they sent letters. That takes a lot more dedication than signing an online petition.)

Thankfully, Tim Burton knew what we all saw in the film -- that Keaton had the crazy, obsessive edge needed to bring Batman into the modern age of dark and tortured heroes.

[2]Heath Ledger, 'The Dark Knight'

Warner Bros.
It's easy to forget now after he delivered one of the most iconic movie villain performances of all time, but the casting of Heath Ledger as Joker in 'The Dark Knight' was met with many groans and more than a few 'Brokeback Mountain' jokes. (Even Jack Nicholson was against the casting, saying he was "furious" that he wasn't asked to reprise the role.)

Fans feared that Ledger, who was mostly known for romantic leads in films like 'Casanova' and '10 Things I Hate About You,' lacked the grit to play Batman's greatest nemesis. And there were more than a few idiots who assumed he'd play the role as gay after his acclaimed turn in 'Brokeback.'

Everyone underestimated Ledger, who had previously given a deep, soulful performance in 'Monster's Ball,' and thus were blown away by his take on Joker. Now, it's hard to think of anyone else in the role.

[3]Keanu Reeves, 'Constantine'

Warner Bros.
Fans of DC/Vertigo's 'Hellblazer' series cried into their trenchcoat sleeves over the casting of Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a character who is both British and blonde in the comics. (His look was based on Sting circa the early days of the Police.)

While Keanu is nothing like John Constantine, the movie made plenty of other changes like moving the character from London to Los Angeles and giving him a gun shaped like the Holy Cross. At least fans have a chance of finally seeing a snarky British Constantine on the big screen if Guillermo del Toro's 'Justice League Dark' movie ever happens.

[4]Idris Elba, 'Thor'

Paramount Pictures
It isn't strictly lead-role casting news that causes fanboys to freak out -- more than a few folks took to the internet in protest of 'Pacific Rim' star Idris Elba being cast as Heimdall in 'Thor.'

Some people, like the group Council of Conservative Christians, took issue with a black English actor portraying a (fictional) Norse God who is white in the comics.

Despite a "Boycott Thor" website, the film ended up being a blockbuster, and Elba was praised for his commanding performance. The actor and the character are set to return for 'Thor: The Dark World,' while the CCC is probably busy coming up with a reason for why 'The Smurfs 2' is pushing a liberal agenda on our children.

[5]Mark Ruffalo, 'The Avengers'

Marvel/Disney
Don't pretend for a second that you didn't make a joke when it was announced that Mark Ruffalo, an actor known for his low-key performances in indie movies, would be taking over the Bruce Banner role from the far more volatile Edward Norton. Ruffalo himself even said he was nervous joining 'The Avengers' cast onstage at Comic-Con prior to the film's release because, "the fans -- they have strong feelings toward their comic book heroes."

As it turns out, Ruffalo was 'The Incredible Hulk' director Louis Leterrier's first choice all along for Banner. Now those same people who made fun of the casting choice are probably quoting Ruffalo's "I'm always angry" line from 'Avengers.'

[6]Kelsey Grammer, 'X-Men: The Last Stand'

20th Century Fox
When it was announced that 'Cheers' and 'Frasier' star Kelsey Grammer would be playing beloved mutant Beast in 'X-Men: The Last Stand,' message boards lit up with jokes about the character sitting down with Wolverine for a therapy session. No one believed that Grammer, who cut his teeth in dramatic Shakespearean roles, could bring any soul to Beast, a character who longs to not look like Cookie Monster.

In hindsight, Grammer's Beast ended up being one of the best things about the abysmal third 'X-Men' installment. He captured the character's jovial attitude without making him too jokey while also adding a bit of depth to the otherwise lightweight film. While 'X-Men: First Class' star Nicholas Hoult has claim to the part now, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if Grammer returned as an older version of Dr. Hank McCoy.

[7]Megan Fox, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'

Paramount Pictures
Following her roles in the 'Transformers' films and 'Jonah Hex,' it's safe to say no one is looking forward to seeing Megan Fox as April O'Neil in Michael Bay's upcoming 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot. Thus, the collective groans that met her casting announcement in the controversial film.

Photos of Fox doing some sort of exercise routine on set haven't done much to squelch the negative feelings. Outside of squeezing into April's classic yellow jumpsuit from the 'TMNT' cartoon, there's not much Fox could do to win over fanboys.

[8]Brandon Lee, 'The Crow'

Miramax Film
While his final performance is beloved today, it's important to remember that Brandon Lee wasn't exactly known for serious roles at the time. As the son of Bruce Lee, Brandon got his start in chop-socky early '90s flicks like 'Rapid Fire' and 'Showdown in Little Tokyo,' in which he starred opposite the acclaimed dramatic actor Dolph Lundgren. Few predicted he'd be able to capture the intense, soulful avenger from James O'Barr's comic. Now, we all wish he had been able to (pardon the pun) spread his acting wings sooner.

[9]Michael Clarke Duncan, 'Daredevil'

20th Century Fox
When making their case for why Affleck shouldn't play Batman, people like to cite his 2003 bomb 'Daredevil.' Of course, when the cast was announced, few had problems with Affleck -- then a huge action-movie star -- playing the title role. Stubborn fans were more concerned about the casting of the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan in the role of The Kingpin, a character who is drawn as a rotund white man in the pages of Marvel comics.

Duncan proved to be perfectly fine in the role, and the bulk of the derision 'Daredevil' received was aimed squarely at Affleck's admittedly stiff performance. A criticism that still persists today, despite the fact that the movie is over a decade old, and Affleck is now an Oscar winner.

[10]Robert Downey, Jr., 'Iron Man'

Marvel/Disney
Whether we can admit it now or not, many Marvel fans had concerns over RDJ playing Tony Stark. Sure, he had a handful of acclaimed roles in films like 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and 'Zodiac,' but nothing in his filmography suggested that he'd be the perfect fit for the Iron Man armor.

Plus, Downey, Jr.'s checkered past had both fans and Hollywood insiders concerned that the film would be derailed by his frequent legal troubles. In fact, it was exactly that sense of danger that made the casting exciting and made him ideal for the superhero who lives life on the edge. Now, it's hard to imagine any 'Iron Man' or 'Avengers' movie without one of RDJ's trademark quips.

Edward Cullen is The "NEW 52" Lobo

ReikoMVP — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 12:45:21 +0800

DC Comics has gotten a lot of flack for sexing up many of the female characters for the New 52, and now it seems that their solution to the problem is to start sexing up the male characters as well. Where have they decided to start? Naturally, with a rude, bad ass intergalactic biker bounty hunter named Lobo.

Yes fans, that Lobo. Kenneth Rocafort is credited with the redesign, which went through a few changes you can see for yourself on the DC Source Blog, and the new Lobo will be further explored in the upcoming Justice League #23.2: Lobo. At least a couple of those designs are pretty much indicative of the old Lobo, so the question is why they might have decided to go with the male model version. What about Lobo has ever said male model?

Here’s the before…:

I can’t see the difference, can you see the difference? I’d say sound off with your opinions below, but I don’t think you need the prompting.

Actually the design is not final, these are the other concept design which DC still consider...

Subject : SEJARAH

Bahagian A

1. Agama Islam memberikan banyak pengaruh terhadap masyarakat melayu tradisional pada abad ke-19. Pada abad
tersebut masyarakat melayu hidup dalam kegelapan. Kebanyakan masyarakat mengamalkan judi, riba dan melakukan banyak
kesalahan seperti mencuri, merogol dah sebagainya. Kaum wanita pula dipandang hina dan mereka tidak dapat mewarisi
kebijaksanaan moyang mereka.

Setelah Agama Islam dipupuk. Penganut agama Islam mengenal sistem tenaga nasional. Iaitu sebuah penjana kuasa
elektrik yang memberikan masyarakat Melayu lampu. Dengan adanya cahaya dari lampu, masyarakat Melayu tidak akan hidup
dalam kegelapan. Perlakuan seperti zina, riba, judi dan sebagainya tidak dilakukan lagi kerana mereka malu adanya tiang
lampu di merata-rata yang menyuluh tingkah laku-mereka. In English, they are too shy to do tat stuff in the light.
Scared people see ma. Stupid!!

Mereka akhirnya dapat belajar kerana mempunyai lampu meja dan ini menjadikan mereka bijak. Mula-mula mereka
mengambil UPSR kemudian PMR, SPM dah Akhirnya STPM. Banyak telah pergi ke Universiti Cahaya Langit kerana di sana
terdapat lampu untuk pelajaran mereka.

Perempuan tidak lagi di pandang hina kerana setelah ade cahaya, "men felt shy because their..... body part are
diffrent". I bolt 1 nat. really *** lo. Adanya elektrik, mereka tengok filem cerita pokemon dan digimon.

Akhirnya mereka berjaya membina balik ampangan yang roboh itu dengan jentera yg berkuasa tinggi.

Bahagian B

7. Pada masa kegemilangan China dan Jepun, penduduk mereka mengamalkan kepentingan fahaman Confucius di China dan
agama Shinta di Jepun.

Agama Confucius ini memang "Confusing" entah bila masa mahu makan dah entah mahu bertapa. Let me explain k!?
Sebelum adanya ajaran conficius, dunia di China adalah huru - hara. Kerana raja Syaitan dunia akan dilahirkan dan
memusnahkan dunia. Dengan itu, Dewa mengarahkan Sanzo untuk mendapatkan kitab suci, Raja syaitan dikalahkan. Dan semua
orang memahami ajaran Confucius walaupun sangat "Confusing" Kalau tidak Raja Syaitan akan muncul semula.

Ajaran Shinto pula datang dari Tom Cruise. Dia ini seorang askar, generallah **** wat pangkatlah it get liau.
Dia mahu kill all the stupid Japanese because they samurai all so lazy steal stuff. Tetapi kene tangkap dan diberi
fahaman Samurai. Selepas dilepaskan dia tak mau balik pula kerana ade awek cantik ma. Lepas itu dia pun feng huat chai lo.
His people went to kill him pun tak jadi. Ini telah tersebarnya Shinto.

Secara kesimpulan. Shinto dan Confucius dilahirkan kerana awek cantik yang terlalu menggoda.

Di sini saya bersertakan satu pantun.

Berjalan - Jalan di tepi muara,
Hendak mencuri anak dara,
Kalau nak cari anak dara,
Di tepi muaralah.
