Some Stuff: May 11, 2009

On this date in 1951, computer memory was invented


We haven’t heard much about the A-Team Movie, here’s the latest IESB is reporting that Common is Fox's top choice to play B.A. Baracus in their upcoming movie adapt. Of Course Mr. T played Baracus on the original show. Late last year, we were hearing that it could've been Tyrese Gibson who was going to play Baracus. But that was before director John Singleton left the project and Smokin' Joe Carnahan stepped in to replace him. Common did say that it "would be an incredible character to play" in an interview with IESB, however he didn't completely confirm (or deny) the rumor.


With superhero movies as popular as they are, it's about time somebody came up with a formula to actually rank the heroes themselves.


--MTV came up with some kind of pseudo-scientific formula that uses several criteria to rank the heroes. They include . . .


--Opening weekend box office receipts for every movie . . . post-1978 . . . that the character has been in.

--Oscar nominations

--The Tomato Meter Ratings

--The number of times the character has topped the comic book charts in the last 13 years.


--Taking all that into account, Batman is THE most powerful superhero . . . as far as Hollywood is concerned. And he won it by a mile . . . with a power ranking 18 TIMES higher than that of his runner-up, Spider-Man.
