nooo, its not a prequel to Burton's Batman. They are completely different if you look at the storylines. But yea I did like the first Batman alot, but Batman Begins a little more, and all the sequels to the first batman gotten progressively lamer.
Maybe it's not a "true" prequel in terms of the storyline, but the movie totally uses Burton's vision for Batman. I think I heard when he first began making it the studio's were confused because it was too dark & Batman was black. Completely different from people's perception of Batman (cheesy 60's show). Burton "re-tooled" Batman. This new series is just using his vision. No re-tooling involved, just starting over again.
I agree with you the sequels were pretty bad. With Batman & Robin, well, I never bothered to watch that one. Looked worse than a pile of dogshit though.

What about those 4 out of 5 people that say Im going to down load
it & if I like it I will go & buy it? Will they? Why they all ready have the songs.
WTF are you talking about??? You make up arbitrary numbers such as "4 out of 5 of you" then later state them like they are a fact?!
Will people download CD, yes. Alot? Probably. People from this forum without ever buying it? I don't think so, not many at least. And certainly not 4 out of 5. Maybe 1 out of 5, although I doubt that. Maybe 3 or 4 ppl never buy CD. Why? This is a Guns N Roses messege board!! We've waited long & hard for that moment to come. Have alot of us downloaded albums in the past 2 years?? Yes. Probably bands like PJ, RHCP, Foo Fighters, Buckcherry etc.... and some of us might DL new U2, Metallica & Green Day. But it's different because this isn't a Green Day board. It's not a Pearl Jam board. I bet most PJ fans on their messege boards don't DL their album, same thing with U2. They BUY their own baands album, DL the rest. Some ppl here don't like VR, and downloaded it. But not everyone here is a VR fan. I'm pretty sure everyone here is a GnR fan and if not.... out of curiousity what are you doing here?!
4 out of 5 is ridiculous, quit making up #'s.
#6683 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy - will you or won't you » 986 weeks ago
I'm pretty sure everyone on this board will buy it. If it leaks early, I'll probably DL it also. But I'll buy it just for the casing, cover, lyrics, pics, artwork etc. I'm old-skool like dat!

seriously, its like darth vader walking around with storm troopers all the time
and again he should know who the fuck his opening bands are...i dunno maybe i'm way off, but if it were me i'd wanna talk to the peopel playing the same show as me
am i wrong? and if that happend wouldnt axl say "let up man hes just that kid from die mannequin" or whoever
I agree with you, Axl sure has his quirks. We don't read about Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder or Anthony Kiedis and their security guard issues backstage. So yeah, Axl's a bit wierd with it all. But I think it can become exaggerated as well. I think Elvis became a bit of a wierdo later in his career, thinking he needed all this tremendous security around him, when really in the early 70's he was basically irrelevant.
Karma for the Darth Vader analogy by the way. Fits pretty well.

^^ I think you're right in a "where there's smoke there's fire" kindof way... but as for this Die Mannequin claim.. I tend to believe the crew's side of things. Band member walks up drunk "heyyy Axl!! What's up!!" Security just pushes the guy aside not knowing who the f*** he even is.

Completely throw out Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin. Go rent Batman Begins. It is a complete re-boot of the franchise by Warner. The story has NOTHING to do with the first Batman movie. The Dark Knight is Batman Begins' sequel. The Joker will be very different in this new movie. He will be much scarier and less "haha" funny for the audience. You'll be more frightened than amused.
The first Batman by Tim Burton kicked ass. And he created a Batman franchise of dark, black aura around it. So I wouldn't call Batman Begins a "complete re-boot". It's a prequel, that's all. Still same look to it, it just showed you how he got to be the way he is, and where he gets his wonderful toys. And also Jack wasn't exactly "Haha" funny in the movie??! He owned the part. One of Nicholson's greatest perfomances.

Regardless of any quicks celebrities might have, they've always got to worry about some wacko doing something crazy to them. That's why Axl's got security guys.
True, but at the same time there's Chris Cornell's humorous encounter with Axl backstage back in 1990:
"So, one day I see a security guard walking him down this long corridor where there's no one except for me, and it's like they want me to see him.
"He's wearing his Axl Rose tennis shoes that say 'Axl Rose' on them and these teeny-tiny, painted-on red shorts, a backwards baseball cap and a fur coat that goes to the floor.
"He just walks by and goes, 'Hey, bro!' And that was it. At that point, it's one of those moments where you think about your life as a comic book."
#6688 Re: The Garden » Internet games gone too far: The Case of Nikki Catsouras » 986 weeks ago
I saw this on 20/20 or something a few weeks ago. Kinda sad, and the sisters I think are now being home schooled because everybody in school saw & talked about the pictures. I had a classmate who was killed in 9th grade in a car accident while his brother was driving. There was never any talk about drinking or speeding, it was in the winter, on ice & snow. Oddly enough it was almost 20 years ago today, during the Christmas break. Anyway, it would have been kinda sick to have seen actual pictures of him, and I know his brother, Mother & family would have been devastated. Police should really be investigated for leaking crime scene photos like this.
They also had a few other segments, interviewing girls who'd start fights with other girls, then post them on youtube. And the parents of the girl who killed herself. The one with the Myspace Mom, who invented a guy named "Josh" to talk to a neighbors daughter.

No way in hell will McNabb go to this team. Its a complete clusterfuck.
Haha, I was just going to say trade the 2nd rd pick for McNabb, draft a RB or WR in the 1st rd (DeSean Jackson from Cal). And a defensive player in the 3rd rd. That way, PHI can trade that 2nd rd pick & another pick for Chad Johnson from Cinici 
You're right though, I think Lovie Smith might be on a short leash next year.
EDIT: Huh, I jjust looked on one of those mock draft websites (I know it's too early but still...) a few of them had the Bears taking QB Andre Woodson from Kentucky. Wouldn't be a bad pick, depending how his skills seem in the combine. Then myb take RB Mike Hart from Mich, or that WR from Oregon who was fast in the 2nd. Heck take a WR from Appalachian State too, they had plenty of speed on that team. A good draft & they could be a year away, myb even sneak a wildcard spot in. Gotta love football, there's always next year

Did Romo really fuck things up because of Jessica?
She was there, but I think that is becoming blown out of proportion, although your right it happened last Christmas with Carrie Underwood being there. Yesterday though, he did jam his thumb on someone's helmet, and I do think that had an effect. However the Eagles did do a good job shutting them down. 1 INT TO fell down, but the other 2 were bad throws & misreading the defenses. Romo's ok, pretty good for a young QB, but certainly not elite. I still can't blame jerry Jones for signing him long term. Look at all the other struggling young QB's out there. Anyway that's why I say Dallas & GB are good teams, just on a roll all season. I don't think their dominant the way NE, Indy & even SD was last year (even though they had that postseason collapse).

am i wrong? and if that happend wouldnt axl say "let up man hes just that kid from die mannequin" or whoever
