LOLinate your webpage

One again I stumbled upon LOLinator.com, where you can enter your URL and have it LOLinate your website/page. It translates the texts into LOLspeak, and another new feature I just recently found out is that you can also LOLinate your name.

For those who don’t know, LOLspeak are ‘broken English’ phrases added to a picture of an animal. Usually a cat, but some others are dogs, mice, and even owls (remember O’Rly).

You can view a sample translated page from this site by going here.

It is a fun page as you can enter any or your website or blog, or even of your friends.

And if you are curious, I tried LOLing my name, Ryman, and this is what I got.

Marvel Studios, upcoming movies

Now for the next part of the continuing Marvel Universe.

The Incredible Hulk will first appear in theaters this June 13, starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. We all know how the story goes, scientist Bruce Banner was exposed to Gamma radiation and became the Hulk. That’s that. And now, for some things to watch out for in the movie.

  • The main villain Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) who will eventually became Abomination after also being exposed to Gamma radiation.
  • The scientist Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) appeared in the film. To Marvel fans, he will eventually became another one of Hulks nemesis named, The Leader (in the next film, maybe?). And you’ve probably guessed it how he turned into that. Exposed to Gamma radiation.
  • Dr. Leonard Samson (Ty Burrell) is Banner’s psychotherapist in the film. Who will eventually became Doc Samson (on the next film perhaps?), whose hair will become green and granting him superhuman strength proportionate to its length, reminiscent of his biblical namesake. Because of the, surprise surprise, exposure to yet another Gamma radiation.
  • Hulk co-creator Stan Lee was unable to fly to the Toronto shoot for his cameo appearance, although a pick-up may have been scheduled for him. Awww too bad…
  • And after the end credits? Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) makes his appearance. Only as Tony not as Iron Man.
  • And yet another Captain America reference, the Super-Soldier Serum.

Iron Man revisited

Last weekend, I finally got a chance to watch Iron Man, again. It is the 2nd movie I watched twice in a theater, the other one was Transformers last year. I contributed another 110 pesos to the already $100+ million gross on the first week opening of the movie. And… I finally got to see the bonus clip after the credits. But as I got this news this morning, I missed this one…

Captain America shield in Iron Man

This is the part where Pepper walks in while Tony Stark is removing the armor from his body. Can you see Captain America’s shield behind him? Sources says that it isn’t confirmed by Marvel yet, while others says what fans would think if Tony Stark is the inventor of Captain America’s shield.

We can see the Marvel Universe characters coming together in this movie. For those who already watched this movie, and for those who haven’t here are a few things you should notice (a summary recap from my previous post), aside from the Cap’s shield above. I’ve arranged the list in order of appearance

  • James Rhodes (Terrence Howard), the military guy, and Tony’s closest friend is actually the man behind War Machine. The black/silver armor that looks like Iron Man. Its got more weapons, and is actually heavier and a little bit bulkier than Iron Man’s mark 3 armor. “Next time baby…” Can we expect another movie starring War Machine?
  • The terrorist group is named as the Ten Rings. One of the original arch enemy of Iron Man was Mandarin who holds the mystical ten rings of power. Any relation?
  • The agent guy who keeps bugging Pepper and Tony stark is a member of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate, or famously known as S.H.I.E.L.D. The agency group controlled by the United Nations (in other stories, U.S.) who sometimes employs super heroes and villains alike to combat powerful threat.
  • Stan Lee, co-creator and founder of Marvel Comics made another cameo. This time he was mistaken by Tony Stark as Hugh Hefner (founder of Playboy). You can see him surrounded by girls, after which Tony greeted him.
  • In case you didn’t know the name of the villain on the last part of the movie, his name is Iron Monger. The billionaire industrialist Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) was the first one to use that name.
  • And the bonus clip after the credits, showing Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) one of the top agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. talking to Tony Stark about the Avengers initiative.

And for the other upcoming Marvel films on my next post.

Don’t drink and drive poster

This is a cool optical illusion image. As you can see, the text seems to be moving fluidly. A little bit of warning though, don’t stare on it too much, it may cause you a headache.

The image is a static JPG, and not an animated GIF.
