<br />Surely, being 7 points behind, there is little hope for Liverpool to win the Premiership this season but what a great step this is towards keeping those hopes up! They absolutely smashed Manchester United who were labeled as unbeatable by many.

<br />Liverpool had a great victory on Tuesday by defeating Spanish giants Real Madrid 4-0 and kicking them out of Champions League. Liverpool is often criticized about not giving their 100% in English Premier League even though they have been doing a tremendous job in Champions League for the past 5 years by winning one in 2005 in Istanbul and making it to the final once more in 2007 in Athens. On the other hand they have not won the Premier League since 1990 even though they hold the "most-winner" title with 18 times.

Apparently it became a hit as it earns almost $25 Mil on first day. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SbRS0gMlX1I/AAAAAAAACgE/SSMBywDEmy0/s1600-h/watchmen1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SbRS0gMlX1I/AAAAAAAACgE/SSMBywDEmy0/s320/watchmen1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310960922526048082" /></a><br />Watchmen is based on the comic book limited series of the same name. It takes place in an alternate history United States in which superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. The country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed, and most costumed superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and struggles of the heroes as they investigate the murder of a government supported superhero. The investigation pulls them out of retirement and eventually leads them to confront a plot to kill millions of innocent people.<br /><br />It has a 8,3 score on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/">IMDB </a>so far which is relatively high for a comic-based movie. I just cannot wait to see it. I am planning to write a detailed review afterwards. Stay tuned!<br /><br /><object width="450" height="238"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/7376"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/7376" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="220" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-70957013066377190852009-03-08T23:55:00.003+01:002009-03-09T00:00:34.147+01:00Tiger vs DolphinIt is like a cat staring at the goldfish bowl but on a bigger scale.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SbRNzS40LcI/AAAAAAAACf0/GjAKccZeFOY/s1600-h/article-1159891-03C3415D000005DC-650_634x452.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SbRNzS40LcI/AAAAAAAACf0/GjAKccZeFOY/s320/article-1159891-03C3415D000005DC-650_634x452.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310955404215463362" /></a>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-50473992472123664362009-03-08T23:42:00.001+01:002009-03-08T23:43:45.949+01:00Opening A Beer With A HelicopterThis is why Japanese TV is awesome!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SlgUedPbYis&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SlgUedPbYis&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-6470234967196309072009-03-03T20:44:00.003+01:002009-03-04T11:48:01.103+01:00Beer changes men<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/Sa5b-V6X3OI/AAAAAAAACfU/gFVLG9qpDsI/s1600-h/concerns.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 414px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/Sa5b-V6X3OI/AAAAAAAACfU/gFVLG9qpDsI/s320/concerns.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309282137308388578" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Sexist but funny!Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-50032833712691281592009-03-02T14:27:00.002+01:002009-03-02T14:32:47.181+01:00Pinocchio Paradox<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SavfW9cOJuI/AAAAAAAACfM/-01PW2i1dWo/s1600-h/BLA6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SavfW9cOJuI/AAAAAAAACfM/-01PW2i1dWo/s320/BLA6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308582171329308386" /></a><br /><br />"It's not a lie, if you believe it."<br />- George Costanza<br /><br />Problem solved..Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-37080215533020955382009-03-02T14:13:00.002+01:002009-03-02T14:16:33.975+01:00Smart is the new sexy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SavcJfOAd5I/AAAAAAAACfE/PJkvqCRWP8c/s1600-h/2n9yyo6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SavcJfOAd5I/AAAAAAAACfE/PJkvqCRWP8c/s320/2n9yyo6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308578641343444882" /></a><br /><br />Relatively..Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-5201884484076669292009-02-14T12:32:00.011+01:002009-02-14T13:03:36.067+01:00Red vs BlueInter Milan and AC Milan will be facing each other on Sunday at the <a href="http://www.insideworldsoccer.com/2008/09/derby-della-madonnina.html">Derby della Madonnina</a>.

It was then extrapolated in the Milky Way. I want to stress out the point that this calculation is limited to our galaxy. Hubble Telescope estimated in 1999 that there are a minimum of 125 billion galaxies in the universe. Some research numbers go up to 500 billion.

It is only natural to think that some of them are more technologically advanced than us. I personally expect that we will first be contacted rather than contact. Especially when you think about how much we have on our plate with wars, global warming, poverty, immense capitalism etc. Extraterrestrial research will not have a financial priority unless we solve those problems first and I do not see it happening in the near future.Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-30041371862162668612009-02-06T10:57:00.003+01:002009-02-09T12:52:10.485+01:00George Best"I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep."<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SYwKKBuwypI/AAAAAAAACdk/SMWhYs3CaEc/s1600-h/best0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 291px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SYwKKBuwypI/AAAAAAAACdk/SMWhYs3CaEc/s320/best0.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299622028887771794" /></a>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-22509849481519855682009-01-26T23:59:00.005+01:002009-01-27T00:03:40.344+01:00Adriana...... was in Istanbul last weekend for charity related activities which includes a popular TV show.

I have seen the movie yesterday and I am amazed by the poetic expression of Ceylan. <br /><object width="400" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7wBznN7c8YE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7wBznN7c8YE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"></embed></object><br />The movie is dark and painful. It questions the moral of society and how one suspends himself from other people's pain and suffering. Even though it is a story of a family and the paths they take to avoid facing the truth, it's also about personal tendency to close our eyes to that we prefer to ignore.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SXRJsr78I3I/AAAAAAAACb4/nDmY29Pah2A/s1600-h/18936607.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SXRJsr78I3I/AAAAAAAACb4/nDmY29Pah2A/s320/18936607.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292936494124376946" /></a><br />Shots are brilliantly composed and the colors match the mood of the film perfectly. 3 Monkeys is such a great art-house film and a proof of how much a director can show his brilliance. Ceylan's movie has recently won the best director award in Cannes. It is now included in the shortlist for last eight in the Foreign Film Oscar. Since it is not a commercial movie I doubt that it will win the Oscar but it is very obvious who I am rooting for.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SXRKWV937GI/AAAAAAAACcA/Fttsq76cATo/s1600-h/000d60aab2a609a4525f0e.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SXRKWV937GI/AAAAAAAACcA/Fttsq76cATo/s320/000d60aab2a609a4525f0e.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292937209781415010" /></a>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-17600734368649440862009-01-17T16:00:00.002+01:002009-01-17T16:05:09.529+01:00Wingsuit Base JumpingI have seen some extreme sports videos but this is nothing like that.

The tale starts with Vicky and Cristina who have opposite attitudes towards life and love. They meet Juan Antonio, a mysterious yet magnetic painter and are seduced by him. Things get even more complicated when the crazy ex wife of Juan Antonio, Maria Elena, is added into the picture.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SWoY61rGIuI/AAAAAAAACbI/BdFZkGIyJyU/s1600-h/Vicky%2BCristina%2BBarcelona%2BMovie%2BStills%2B2Jzng1l8ILFl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SWoY61rGIuI/AAAAAAAACbI/BdFZkGIyJyU/s320/Vicky%2BCristina%2BBarcelona%2BMovie%2BStills%2B2Jzng1l8ILFl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290068111419384546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The film stresses out the impossibility of love. As Maria Elena puts it "only unfulfilled love can be romantic." It also analyzes the issues of traditional marriage and partnership in today's world. In the end, we are puzzled with the questions of if anyone in the world can achieve a desired level of total satisfaction through relationships. Otherwise, we are stuck with the "idea" of overrated romantic love affairs.<br /><object width="400" height="200"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/glQHG92Yvoo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/glQHG92Yvoo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="200"></embed></object><br />Even though it sounds like otherwise, this film is a classical comedy without exhausting you with the overused theme of love. However, this movie manages to leave you sour after the end with its approach to love and happiness.<br /><br />I would highly recommend Vicky Cristina Barcelona, to anyone who would enjoy some self exploring. Besides it has two great scenery in it; Barcelona and <a href="http://uk.askmen.com/celebs/women/actress_200/228_scarlett_johansson.html">Scarlett Johansson </a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SWoY-33x_uI/AAAAAAAACbQ/r9-wK3e-GCw/s1600-h/Vicky%2BCristina%2BBarcelona%2BMovie%2BStills%2BlZ0lbdjZDlcl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kIdCnTVFi54/SWoY-33x_uI/AAAAAAAACbQ/r9-wK3e-GCw/s320/Vicky%2BCristina%2BBarcelona%2BMovie%2BStills%2BlZ0lbdjZDlcl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290068180728938210" border="0" /></a>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-87630508989698233862008-11-24T13:23:00.003+01:002008-11-24T13:35:48.862+01:00Amazing Biology VideosI have stumbled upon this great list of <a href="http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/11/top-10-amazin-1.html">Top 10 Amazing Biology Videos</a>.

The best comedy series since Seinfeld left us in tears when it unexpectedly ended after only 3 hilarious seasons According to the <a href="http://weblogs.redeyechicago.com/showpatrol/2008/11/arrested-develo.html">Redeye article</a> Arrested Development movie project has a "GO". <br /><br />That’s according to star <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001787/">Jeffrey Tambor</a> anyway, who told Steve Weintraub of collider.com that the much-rumored film is a go. Tambor said he talked to “AD” creator Mitch Hurwitz last week, who said it was on.<br /><br />Tambor didn’t know any specifics about the project, but said that fans can be sure it’s happening.<br /><br />“When the writer calls you, and the director, and the executive producer calls you, it’s a pretty good sign,” Tambor said in the interview, which you can watch for yourself at Collider.<br /><br />Tambor said he’s looking forward to revisiting “Arrested Development” and his character, George Bluth Sr.<br /><br />“We want to close that,” he said. “We want to bring that all to fruition.”<br /><br />The show starred Tambor, Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, David Cross and Jessica Walter, among others.<br /><br />Here is a collection of funny Bluth moments:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYVnosKj8i4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kYVnosKj8i4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="326"></embed></object>Serhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07721749688387130618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535548142565563571.post-56334280850639409822008-11-10T23:36:00.003+01:002008-11-11T00:02:08.721+01:00Theory of Relativity<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://quotes4all.net/albert_einstein.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 140px; height: 185px;" src="http://quotes4all.net/albert_einstein.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Are you confused about the theory of relativity?
