Let's be fair, 4 guys standing out in one episode is pretty damn good, when they also are getting over Tito and Ken and their rivalry. It would be TNA-like to try and get every one of the 16 guys over, which is to say, damn need impossible to do successfully. The objective wasn't to make everyone immediately recognizable and a star in the first show, which is a good thing. It was to get over the Tito/Ken rivalry, get over the two as individual and different coaches, to get over Dana, to get across the rules, to put on a fight and get over the two guys fighting, and to put the spotlight on a few guys. Go back to season one and Bonnar, Forrest, and Diego weren't exactly stars after the first episode. I think Diego became a star when he thought aliens were trying to get him in his drunken stupor.

...Mike Bisping. He won the strength and conditioning tests. I don't think he'll have a problem with any of the fighters there except for Hamill, and not because Hamill is a great fighter or anything. England doesn't have many wrestlers and that's the only weakness in Bisping's game. Anyway, they're both on the same team so unless they have to fight each other before the finals, expect Bisping to be there. edit: Ok, you might say that Mike Whitehead also displayed a lot of cardio in training even though he turned out to be a pile of shit, but I never believed in Whitehead. I've seen Bisping fight and the other 7 LHWs aren't even close to his level. This is definitely the most misbalanced level of talent in any weight division of any TUF season. I wouldn't have expected an unranked 155'er to have beaten a top twenty Middleweight either, but that's exactly what happened when Florian beat Leben. Some of the other guys aren't as untalented as we think. Well I never had much hope in Leben to begin with so that wasn't a shock to me, even with the weight difference and the different levels of mma experience between the two. That was also after Leben had already lost to Koscheck so I certainly wasn't expecting much from him. I picked Griffin, Sanchez, and Stevenson to win their respective weight divisions and they did. I didn't pick any HW from TUF2 because none of them were impressive. Also, please don't think I'm bragging about these predictions because they were fairly obvious. The rest of the fighters were just a bunch of scrubs compared to them. Sure, upsets happen, but every season has had a certain standout fighter and nothing has prevented him from winning yet.

The Losing Edge alone makes Randy Marsh the best character.

I don't like Sylvia either but I'm predicting he'll beat Arlovski just to keep this crazy year going.

They're probably crab people.

Ultimate Fight Night IV lineup so far
AmericanDragon replied to Lord of The Curry's topic in Mixed Martial Arts
Rashad is just plain stupid...ok, maybe not as stupid as Mike Stine pulling guard against Kalib Starnes but still pretty damn stupid. I'm completely amazed at the people who were impressed with Rashad. Yeah, good job on beating Hoger easily in the standup only to take him down and lay on him to help him recover. Hoger didn't even have to pull guard after being rocked, Rashad did it for him. What's next? He faces a superior striker and takes him down, mounts him, then gets off to continue a striking battle? At least Koscheck uses his wrestling to get people down to submit them. -
They should have had another red headed crybaby from Team Quest on TUF2 just to make it a recurring thing.
-
...There are only 8 fighters per weight class. The semi finals would be the second round of an 8 person tournament, so I don't know why you're complaining. WHY THE FUCK DID THAT BOXER PULL GUARD?

Fucking bullshit. -
I'm pretty sure they just completely messed that part up. Why would she be worried if she saw a flower at her workplace? They say the flower is extinct in the film. They also show that V leaves them with the people he murders. You still didn't answer my question. Why was the doctor worried when she saw the flower? In the graphic novel, the doctor saw the flower and knew that V was coming to kill her since the man from room 5 at Larkhill used to grow them. In the movie, they didn't even show V growing flowers at Larkhill or even mention that he did. Now again, why would the doctor fear for her life if she didn't even know that V was the man from room 5? I answered this in a post at the top, but here it is again- ...No you didn't. All you did was tell us how she knew in the novelization, which is the same way she knew in the graphic novel. I don't really care if they include that scene in the dvd. The whole point is that they messed it up in the movie and without that scene, there is no way she could have known V was the man from room 5.

I'm pretty sure they just completely messed that part up. Why would she be worried if she saw a flower at her workplace? It's not. V should not be sympathised with. What I want to know is why did the coroner freak out by seeing the flower, since it was never mentioned V grew them in the movie. Not sure if it's in the comic, but in the novelization, when Finch is reading the Doctors diary, it explains that V was allowed to grow the flowers because he was such a well-behaved subject. It also explains that V used the fertilizers that he grew the flowers with to make the bombs he used to blow up the facility. They kind of allude to it when they say that the Lesbian couple grew the flowers later on in the movie. Perhaps that will be included in the DVD. Yeah it's in the comic, but since they left that scene out of the movie, her reaction to the flowers makes no sense at all to people who didn't know about what V did at Larkhill.

They just took the message from that scene and put it at the end where Evey says that V was everyone.

How is that an extended trailer? It has even less footage than the actual trailer because it's a clip taken from it.
-
How can one movie be a clone of a movie that came before it? Would you just give it the fuck up already? You mean came out after.

Blame Joel Silver for Alan Moore being angry at the adaptation. Joel Silver publically stated that Alan Moore read the script and fully endorsed the movie. When Moore found out, he asked Silver to publically retract the statement but Silver refused. That's when Moore "disowned" the movie and started nitpicking. Moore lets people adapt his novels but just asks to not be associated with them. Is that too much to ask? People are lucky he's even allowing people to adapt his material at all.

How did the doctor recognize V's roses when they skipped that whole section of him growing the roses at Larkhill?
-
Well that wasn't even in the comic but he basically got them to betray each other.
-
What didn't you get about the ending?

I think you can see it today at a lot of theaters. It's playing at 10 for all the theaters around my area.
