The Great Wheel of London


(A coloured representation?)

While I was browsing the Wikipedia page for the London Eye I read that there was a predecessor called The Great Wheel of London, that could carry 1600 people. I was extremely impressed by this, further impressed when I discovered that it was built in 1894, but was destroyed 13 years later. Although I am sure there are more references to it in other web pages, the only one I could find in my quick search was here. It seemed pretty cool, but it came to an end due to not being profitable. It is apparently unknown elsewhere, despite carrying 2.5 million people in its lifetime. How can something this big go unknown and un-remembered. Please remember this and digg it and spread the word.

New Forrest Gump Movie in the Works



















"
Struggling to make a life for his young son when the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company falls on hard times, Forrest Gump embarks on a new series of adventures that entangle him with corporate America and more famous politicos."

This quote is from the New York Times website....there is going to a sequel to Forrest Gump. I found this out originally while on the IMDB page for Forrest Gump Movie Connections. As it turns out, a movie called "Gump & Co." is going to follow Forrest Gump and hopefully make me as happy as the previous one. I am looking forward to this film, but I know they will make a mistake somewhere and it won't be as good as the first film. But I still want to see it.

For now, I can't find any more information because to see the page for Gump & Co. at IMDB you must have IMDB pro.

Dumb American


















This has to be the funniest "dumb American" picture I have seen in a long time. In this picture a concerned American worries that his state (the American state of Georgia) is being bombed by Russians, confusing the US state Georgia with the country of Georgia. Hahaha, it's a funny thought to imagine and American who is so out of touch with the news that he or she has absolutely no idea where countries are and what their relationships to their neighbours are.

Funny "Don't Feed the Animals" Sign

Link

This has to be one of the funniest "Don't Feed the Animals" sign I have seen in a long time. To be honest I don't see many signs of this sort that are intended to be humorous, and this one isn't really anything special, but it still is funny.

The fact that the sign placers are more concerned with their animal getting sicked than you getting eaten alive...too obvious? Okay, I'll stop.

Scary Movie 5 To Be Released This Year

The latest installment to the cult comedy series is to be released this year, according to IMDB (the Internet Movie Database). Not much information is available on the film (despite the fact that there is only 4 1/2 months available to release) and to retrieve what little information is available you must be a member on IMDB Pro.

I enjoyed the Scary Movie series quite a bit, and thought the first three ranked in the top films of all time (but this was when I was a small child, forgive my immature opinions). To this day they are very funny, but I found the fourth one very irritating and not all that funny. It was still mildly entertaining though, so I am looking forward to the fifth installment, and I hope that it is the best in the series.

My favourite movie was the 1st one, then the 3rd one, then the 2nd one, and last of all, the 4th one. The 4th one began resembling dumb movies like Epic Movie, or perhaps it is just that I am getting too old for that sort of movie. Anyway, I hope they don't sensor the movie, like they did with number 3 and 4, to get the much-seeked PG-13 rating. The lack of swear words makes the two latest films looks specifically for 9 year olds.

Metacritic

This article, as a supplement to my previous one about Game Rankings, will be about the web site Metacritic and how helpful it can be at times. What Metacritic does is it gathers reviews from the internet (many of them originally on print) from good sources of books, films, DVD's, and video games, and averages the reviews that it finds of the specific product to find an average rating of the product. So I can find the average rating for a movie that I am interested in, to see whether I should watch it or not.

As the example I just gave you might show you, I mainly use Metacritic for movies, because only losers read book reviews, and Game Rankings features better video game reviews. Also, it's mainly losers who read DVD reviews as well. So go to the website and check it out.
