friday meme: mo farrah running

I'm a little behind on these olympic memes

About

Mo Farah Running Away From Things is a single topic blog that features photoshopped images of British track and field athlete Mo Farah^[1] taken during the 2012 Olympic Games to appear as if he is running away in horror from something.

Origin

During the 2012 Olympic Games, Mo Farah won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter race on August 4th with a time of 27:30:42.^[2] This marked the first time an athlete from Britain won a gold medal for this event. On August 11th, Farah took home a second gold medal for the 5000-meter race^[3], becoming one of a handful of people who have won both races at the same Olympics. As he crossed the finish line, he was photographed with his arms spread making an incredibly surprised expression with his mouth agape

Lolz

Usually I dislike videos of animals, but somehow I liked this one.

MMA Discussion: UFC 151 CANCELLED

I don't know if any of you heard but Dan Henderson has backed out of the fight against Jon Jones due to a knee injury.  Replacements from all over were stepping up & asked to fight Jones.  After the Greg Jackson camp denied the proposed fights, they cancelled UFC 151 all together.


Fighters that stepped up supposedly -
Chael Sonnen
Anderson Silva
Chris Weidman

Fighters that declined to fight Jones -
Lyoto Machida
Shogun Rua - on medical suspension

I understand on why they cancelled UFC 151 knowing that a majority of these fighters haven't been training, and even if they were, then they would only have an 8 1/3 chance of winning. 


@ one point Sonnen stepped up but Jones said "No" which caused keyboard warriors from all around the MMA Forums to let us know how they truly felt.

Joe Rogan ‏@joerogan
I am completely bewildered that Jon Jones didn't accept the fight with Chael Sonnen. Never saw that coming in a million years.

Ok keyboard kids. Tell me what I do is fake, but at least I have heart. The irony is tangible. Who's phony now??

From what I read, these are 4 topics that keep getting posted.

a. Anti-Jones: Jones should have accepted the fight
b. Pro Jones: Jones was put in the tough spot, he was reasonable
c. Pro Jones: UFC should not have had such a card heavily dependant on the main event
d. neutral - Jones should have accepted the fight, but the UFC (White) was unprofessional in how it handled the situation.

Honestly I'm going with C. 
Pro Jones: UFC should not have had such a card heavily dependant on the main event.

This is the problem with  the UFC nowadays.  They expect you to pay $54.95 for every PPV there is.  I purchased some really crappy PPV (the last 2 @ my place we ass) but I purchase them because I love MMA.  This card other than the Main Event didn't really have any other star power.  So instead of blaming Jones, blame the UFC for pumping out 4 events (2 you have to pay for) every month.

Yesterday Machida accepted the fight, but this morning dropped out of the fight.  Now Vitor Belfort has stepped up.  This should be an interesting fight now.  As long as Vitor doesn't get front kicked again, then it should be an exciting fight.

I would like to say that Chael Sonnen vs Jon Jones would have been amazing.  Jones is better @ almost everything Chael does.  Would I loved to see Jones vs Sonnen next week?  Of course I would have.  But wait until these 2 meet up down the road.  Sonnen would smash him during conference calls & interviews.  Jones would probably decapitate him.  But they would sell a massive amount of tickets and PPV buys.

FRIDAY MEME: GOTHAM IS ASHES

comes from Batman 3: Bane Rises, go see it, it was epic!!! so realistic and bane was real scary. true story

heres the facts from Know Your Meme

About

“When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die” is a quote from the 2012 superhero action film The Dark Knight Rises uttered by the primary antagonist, Bane. Shortly after the film’s release in July 2012, the quote soon emerged as one of the more memorable lines

editors note: I think it's the most memorable line because its one of the few lines you can actually understand what he says.

The movie’s villain character Bane (played by Tom Hardy) proved to be especially popular on the Internet and became the main subject of photoshopped parodies and fan-made image macros surrounding the film. One of the first notable instances to arise from The Dark Knight Rises fanart was an image macro titled “Bane Kitty

yeah, thats Jett. credit to stu on this one, i think this was when he was on vacation on mars.

friday meme: True Story

This comes from the show How I met your mother,  NPH says it
if you say True Story after saying something, that automatically means it is true

Movies with the Most Reboots - Batman

Batman

YEAR	ACTOR	TITLE
1943	Lewis Wilson	Batman
	Nice try Lao Che Batman fights Japanese terrorists. Makes sense since it’s just after Pearl Harbor. They didn’t have the budget for a bat mobile, so Batman is chauffeured by Alfred just like when he is Bruce Wayne. And you thought Superman had a lame disguise.
1966	Adam West	Batman (the movie)
	Apparently Batman doesn't believe in cruelty to animals. They would actually tilt the camera when filming the bad guy’s base so it would appear crooked. The movie was popular enough to get it's own tv show from 1966-1968
1989	Michael Keaton	Batman
	Directed and Produced by Tim Burton Warners brothers received over 50,000 protest letters about the casting of Keaton as Batman, and only 1 letter agreeing with the casting. That letter, was from me.  Michael Keaton is already a master of unconventional weaponry.   The list of actors considered for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman is ridiculous. I’m gonna separate it into 2 lists; Possible good batmans and possible joke Batmans. Possible Good Batmans: Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford (would’ve been a badass batman), Robert Downey Jr., Charlie Sheen (would’ve been a pretty good Bruce Wayne at least), Kurt Russell, Bruce Willis, Pierce Brosnan. Possible Joke Batmans: Alec Baldwin, Emilio Estevez (seriously?), Michael J. Fox (he would always be driving the batmobile at 88mph), Arnold (he was considered for every movie during this time period), Tom Hanks,  Kevin Spacey, and last but certainly not least, Bill F’n Murray (just imagine how awesome this movie would be). The list of considerations for Vicki Vale is twice as long, but I’m just gonna tell you a few that I find interesting: Carrie Fisher, Sarah Jessica Parker (neigh), Julia Louis Dreyfus, Jane Seymour (would’ve liked to see that, since even today she is still kinda hot). Did you know Harvey Dent was in this movie? That’s right, he’s the only black guy in Batman also.      yep, Lando. Deal keeps getting worse all the time.
1992	Michael Keaton	Batman Returns
	Directed and Produced by Tim Burton. Widely regarded as the best batman movie ever made because Christopher Walken was in it. The Producer, Tim Burton actually didn’t like Walken because he said, “That man scares the hell out of me.”     Tim Burton Marlon Wayans was cast as Robin, but the role was changed at the last minute. This sounds like a joke, but is not. The Actor and Actress who play Penguin’s parents are the actors who played PeeWee and Simone from PeeWee’s Big Adventure. Yeah, you read that right.
1995	Val Kilmer	Batman Forever
	Same producer (Tim Burton), new Director (Joel Schumacher) Christian Bale auditioned for Robin, but obviously didn’t get it. Probably because he used his gruff batman voice. This would be the only time Kilmer plays Batman because he had such high demands after this movie. Batman forever was a decent movie, it was even nominated for a couple Oscars, but I don’t think anyone’s gonna be calling it their favorite Batman movie.
1997	George Clooney	Batman and Robin
	New producer (don’t even worry about his name) same director (Joel Shumacher) Widely regarded as the worst batman movie ever made.  Batman from this movie could compete with Daredevil in terms of assness. One of 3 films that feature Arnold and Jesse Ventura (Predator, Running Man) Hulk Hogan and Sylvestor Stallone were considered for the role of Mr. Freeze. At the auction, Batman pulls out his credit card. Its "good until" date reads FOREVER.
“How could they make Batman suck so bad? They need to start over from the beginning and make Batman awesome again.”     - Everyone Well, Christopher Nolan heard your complaints.
2005	Christian Bale	Batman Begins
	Christopher Nolan as Producer David Boreaneanaz was the first choice for Batman. Keanu Reeves (whoa) and Ashton Kutcher were interested before Christian Bale was cast. Ewan McGregor (maybe he means old Ben Kenobi) and Marilyn Manson were considered for scarecrow. Christian Bale weighed 120 pounds after filming his last movie (the machinist) where he played an anorexic character. He gained 100 pounds in 6 months to play Batman. He usually walks around at 185. Christian Bale lost his voice multiple times from doing his Batman voice.
2008	Christian Bale	Dark Knight
	Christopher Nolan as Producer again. As I mentioned in my last post, as the list of reboots gets longer, the title of a superhero movie changes to other references to the main character. Many people thought that having the Joker as a villain would be a mistake because it would be hard to outdo Jack Nicholson’s performance. Many people were wrong.  Heath Ledger was Nolan’s only choice for the Joker. Nolan said Ledger was perfect “because he’s fearless.” The first scene that Ledger had with Michael Caine (Alfred),  Ledger scared him so bad that he forgot his lines.
2012	Christian Bale	Dark Knight Rises
	Chris Nolan has achieved something special: directed 3 movies in a row with the same lead actor.  The CEO of the film’s production company is part owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is why scenes are filmed at Heinz stadium and feature several Steelers players. Dark Knight Rises has a lot of the same actors which is rare for 3 movies: Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman. In this film and also in Inception: Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, and Cillian Murphy.
