INDEPENDENCE BOWL LIVE STREAM <–Click here!

For the past month, all college football fans have been talking about is how the BCS is flawed. In the current BCS system, there is no definite winner. A team can go 13 – 0, like Utah did this season, and not get a shot at the National Championship. Obviously, this is the biggest flaw in college football. But the same thing that is a flaw in college football, is actually one of the best things about the NCAA Football game.

My number one pet peeve in video games is a game that is too easy to beat. Today games can be 100 times more advanced than they were 20 years ago when I first started playing video games and yet the games that were made back then were harder. What's up with that? Why not put all that technology to use and make a long and hard game?

For the most part sport video games are easy. If you play sports games on a regular basis then you can probably figure out how to win on a regular basis, if not every time, after a certain amount of tries. So where does the difficulty come in? Well in NCAA Football the difficulty comes in with the BCS Rankings.

If you play Madden Football, NBA Live or any other sports game and you're good enough to win any game then there is no challenge. You'll go 16 – 0 in the regular season, win every game in the playoffs and win the Championship. The same thing isn't guaranteed in NCAA Football. Just like in real life a team could go undefeated, win their conference championship, win a bowl game and still be left out of the number one spot by the video game's BCS rankings.

Some people might think this is a bad thing. How fair is it to win every game but not be crowned the championship? But personally I find that to be a welcome challenge. If I start a franchise as Buffalo I don't want to be ranked number one after going undefeated my first season. I find it more challenging to earn being number by being good every season and working your way up the rankings. Also because of the BCS Rankings one loss for a team like Buffalo sets you back more than a loss if you're Florida playing Georgia. This is also a welcome challenge.

So yes, the BCS system stinks in real life, a team that goes undefeated deserves some fair chance at a National Championship. But in a video game, where a challenge is needed, the BCS system is a good thing.

By Ryan of The Sportmeisters

The NCAA postseason kicks off Dec. 19, with 33 games being played in a three week span. Seniors will get their last hurrah, and teams will attempt to end their season on the winning side, in the hopes of improving recruiting that follows afterwords.

The Sportmeisters will preview each of the 33 games that lie ahead, and provide our predictions as well. Let’s get to it!

Holiday Bowl, Dec. 30, 8:00 PM, San Diego, CA

No. 20 Arizona (8-4) vs. No. 22 Nebraska (9-4)

About Arizona : Arizona never found complete consistency, starting off 4-2 before winning three, then losing two, and winning two to finish 8-4.

The Wildcats are a middle of the pack team offensively, finishing in the top 50 in all major categories. Sophomore QB Nick Foles took over the starter role midway through the season, and hasn’t let it go. He has thrown for 2437 and 19 touchdowns. Sophomore WR Juron Criner is his top target, with 43 catches for 579 yards and nine touchdowns.

Sophomore RB Keola Antolin and Junior RB Nic Grigsby (who is expected to play despite missing the last two games) have combined for 1128 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.

Arizona finds more success stopping the run defensively, 22nd in NCAA FBS with 111.92 yards a game. They are 21st overall in defense, with opponents averaging 315.83 yards a game. Junior DL Ricky Elmore leads a defense that averages 2.83 sacks a game (13th in NCAA FBS). He has 10.5 himself, to go along with 43 tackles (11.5 for loss).

Sophomore DB Trevin Wade has 66 tackles and five interceptions, including one for a touchdown. Arizona isn’t a dominating team, but they know how to methodically beat their opponents.

About Nebraska : The Cornhuskers have been trying to get back to dominance since their run of championships in the 90s. They started off 2009 winning four of five, and if not for a last second touchdown, would have been 5-0. They fell flat, losing two in a row, before a five game winning streak earned them the Big 12 North Championship.

Another last-second score kept them from BCS lore, but they still earn a bowl shot and a chance at 10 wins.

Nebraska’s offense is horrific, which is shocking considering the Big 12 has been an offensive conference as of late. They finished 102nd out of 120 teams in total offense (317.15 yards per game). A big chunk of that was a lack of a passing game (175.92 yards per game) which was 101st in NCAA FBS.

The lone offensive bright spot was Junior RB Roy Helu Jr., who rushed for 1139 yards and ten touchdowns. Junior WR Niles Paul’s 673 receiving yards were twice as much as anyone else on Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers earned their victories thanks to a top ten defense. Second overall in points given up (11.23 per game) and ninth in total defense (284.54 yards per game), it was defense that truly won games for Nebraska. Of course, when one mentions Nebraska Cornhusker defense, Senior DL Ndamukong Suh comes to mind first and foremost.

The Heisman trophy finalist had 82 tackles (19.5 for loss), 12 sacks, and an interception. He even blocked three kicks for the Cornhuskers.

Sophomore DL Jared Crick had 9.5 sacks, part of a squad that was third in NCAA FBS in sacks per game (3.23). Senior DB Matt O’Hanlon led the secondary with 64 tackles, two sacks, five interceptions (one for touchdown), and a forced fumble. Simply put, Nebraska is all defense, all the time.

The Matchup : Arizona is 6-7-1 in bowl games. This is their second straight year of being in bowl game, and they won their 2008 matchup against BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Nebraska is 23-22 in bowl games. After a run of 35 straight bowl appearances was snapped, they are trying to get back to that tradition. This is their second straight game, after winning their 2008 Gator Bowl appearance over Clemson.

These two teams met in the 1998 Holiday Bowl, with Arizona squeaking out a 23-20 win.

This game will be a defensive showdown, and it starts with Nebraska. Even with Arizona’s number of weapons, all the offense’s eyes will be on Suh, who had 4.5 sacks in the Big 12 Championship. He will get his licks, but the Wildcats need to do whatever it takes to keep him out of the play.

If Arizona’s run defense can hold down Helu, the Wildcats will have neutralized Nebraska’s biggest weapon, giving them a greater chance at winning. This game will come down to defense and turnovers. Don’t tune it for a blowout.

The Prediction : Suh will be the dominant force, but Arizona’s defense will neutralize Nebraska, and they win a slow, defensive battle, 13-10.

The NCAA post-season kicks off December 19, with 33 games being played in a three week span. Seniors will get their last hurrah, and teams will attempt to end their season on the winning side, in the hopes of improving recruiting that follows afterwords. The Sportmeisters will preview each of the 33 games that lie ahead, and provide our predictions as well. Let’s get to it!

Independence Bowl, December 28th, 5:00 PM, Shreveport, LA

Georgia (7-5) vs. Texas A&M (6-6)

About Georgia : The Bulldogs play in arguably one of the toughest conferences, the SEC, and it showed in their performance this season. Showing signs of consistency, Georgia won three of their first four, then lost three of the next four, then won the final three of four, including an upset over then No.7 Georgia Tech. Georgia faced four teams in the top ten, and ended up going 1-3.

Offensively, Georgia was a far cry from last years squad with Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno. However, a returning contributor was top Sophomore WR A.J. Green, who had 751 yards and six touchdowns in only nine games played this season.

Senior QB Joe Cox had the enviable task of filling in for the departed Stafford, and while his numbers were respectable (2426 yards, 22 touchdowns), he had his share of mistakes. His 16 interceptions were a big reason Georgia finished last in NCAA FBS with -1.42 turnovers a game.

Junior LB Rennie Curran led the team with 123 tackles, almost twice as much as anyone else. Georgia will need a big game from their offense, and a showing from their inconsistent defense, if they expect to win.

About Texas A&M : The Aggies started their season off a different team from the 2008 4-9 campaign, winning three in a row. However, they lost three in a row right back to fall to 3-3. Two more wins followed, but Texas A&M would lose three of their last four, barely making bowl eligibility at 6-6.

Their offense is made of something amazing, finishing fifth in NCAA FBS with 465.33 yards a game. Both the passing and rushing game finished in the top 25 of their respective categories.

Junior QB Jerrod Johnson was a tear for A&M, throwing for 3217 yards and 28 touchdowns, and picked up another eight touchdowns on the ground. Sophomore RB Cyrus Gray and Freshman RB Christine Michael combined for 1519 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Defensively, the unit gives up 431.33 yards a game (107th in NCAA FBS) and 32.67 points a game (104th in NCAA FBS). Junior LB Von Miller is the lone bright spot however, leading the nation with 17 sacks. A&M will win more with their offense than their defense, and should expect a high scoring matchup if they want to contend.

The Matchup : Georgia is 25-16-3 in their long history. They have won three in a row while making a bowl game for 13 straight seasons.

Texas A&M is 13-17, riding a three year losing streak in bowl games. This is their first bowl game since 2007.

This game promises to be an offensive blowout. Georgia is dealing with their own defensive turmoil, as they have fired Defensive Coordinator Willie Martinez, along with Coaches Jon Fabris and John Jancek.

This puts extra pressure on Head Coach Mark Richt. Going against a Texas A&M squad with defensive struggles of their own, if they can limit the turnovers, they will reduce the pressure on their own defense. Miller will get his licks, attacking from his hybrid defensive end/linebacker position.

Georgia was able to slightly neutralize the Georgia Tech triple-option, so the abilities of Johnson should come as no surprise. However, Johnson usually sets the pace, and as long as he has the ball, the potential to score is in the air every down.

The Prediction : Defense may win championships, but Texas A&Ms offense wins the game, 56-42.

Everyone who follows mixed martial arts (MMA) knows that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is one of the two most influential organizations in the sport today (along with Pride). With the recent boom in MMA popularity, due in a large way to Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter Reality Television Show (TUF), champions like Matt Hughes, Rich “Ace” Franklin, Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, and Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia are quickly becoming commercially recognizable names. Of course, plenty of fighters have fallen prey to these champions in the ring, but that’s not what this article is about.

It’s about those who haven’t fallen prey yet.

Which UFC fighters that have never lost to the champion are worth mentioning? Who with a good showing over the next year might find themselves standing toe to toe with a UFC champion?

Forrest Griffin (Light Heavyweight)– This beloved light heavyweight winner of TUF 1 was involved in one of the best stand up wars in MMA history against Stephan Bonnar in the TV show’s finale. In a recent controversial split decision loss to Tito Ortiz, he gained a lot of respect. He’s accumulated a 12-3 record that includes a decision victory over Jeff “The Snowman” Monson.

Strengths– He’s tough as nails and highly intelligent. A very good striker with power. In addition, he did exhibit good takedown defense against Tito Ortiz in his last fight, and he’s in great shape every time he steps into the ring. The fans love his quick wit and charm which will no doubt aid him in his quest for a shot at the belt.

Weaknesses– Not great from his guard (though he has won two matches by triangle choke in his career). Doesn’t appear to have much in the line of takedowns.

Chris “The Crippler” Leben (Middleweight)– Arrogant, abrasive, loud, and willing to urinate on someone else’s bed, Leben was the perfect villain on TUF 1. Since the show he’s gone 5-0 in the UFC with high quality wins over Jorge Rivera (1st round knockout), Edwin Dewees (1st round submission), and Patrick Cote (decision). Before his UFC days, Leben dealt Mike Swick his only loss (another on this list), via 2nd round knockout. HIs overall MMA record is 15-1.

Strengths– Hits very hard and can take a kick from a mule to the face and keep fighting. He’s exciting and has heart, which will no doubt aid him in his quest for a championship.

Weaknesses– His guard/ submission skills have been a weakness throughout his career, but they appear to be improving (as per his submission win against Dewees). He actually did lose by decision to Josh Koschek and by TKO to Kenny Florian on TUF 1, but those fights don’t count on his record.

Nathan Marquardt (Middleweight)- Brings a 21-6-2 overall record, including two straight wins in the UFC. Many feel Marquardt may be next in line for a shot at Rich Franklin.

Strengths – Solid striking skills and excellent submissions (11 of his wins have come via submission). Marquardt hasn't lost since 2003; he makes few mistakes.

Weaknesses – At times, can be too cautious. For example, in a recent match against Ivan Salaverry in the UFC, both he and his opponent were far too hesitant (the consequence, a somewhat slow moving fight that was difficult to judge). So the question is, when he goes up against a guy like Franklin who truly presses the action, how will Marquardt react? Will he become overwhelmed or will his opponent's aggressiveness play right into his mistake- free hands?

Jeff “The Snowman” Monson (Heavyweight)– Brings a 21-5 overall record and has won his last 15 fights. Monson has really burst back onto the UFC scene well with consecutive victories over Branden Lee Hinkle and Marcio Cruz. He trains with a strong camp (American Top Team).

Strengths– Great submissions, ground control, and strength (an Abu Dhabi Combat Club Champion). In addition, the lack of UFC heavyweight depth is bound to help him get a title shot.

Weaknesses– Only an average, perhaps mildly below average MMA striker. In the past, he’s been defeated by strikers with good takedown defense like Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell. So, if he can be made to stand for any length of time against the likes of a Sylvia or an Arlovski, he’s in deep trouble.

Karo “The Heat” Parisyan (Welterweight)– Brings a 15-3 record, including 5 straight wins, 4 of which came in the UFC. In his last 10 matches, he’s only lost once (to Georges St. Pierre).

Strengths– Great takedowns, particularly of the judo variety. He also has great submission skills and cardio (non- stop action in the ring). Parisyan’s stand up isn’t bad either.

Weaknesses– Not very powerful. He’s been grounded and pounded before (the St. Pierre fight is an example). Therefore, the same possibility clearly exists if he walked into the ring with Matt Hughes.

His next fight against Diego Sanchez should be something. If he wins, look for a title shot if Hughes beats St. Pierre in the second go- around (Parisyan has already lost to St. Pierre, so if Georges wins, it won’t help him any).

B.J. “The Prodigy” Penn (welterweight)– A truly superb fighter with an MMA record of 10-3-1. He’s beaten some of the best including Renzo Gracie, Takanori Gomi, Rodrigo Gracie, Matt Serra, Caol Uno, and the current UFC Welterweight Champion, Matt Hughes (via a 1st round rear naked choke). Though he recently lost a decision to Georges St. Pierre, the controversy surrounding it still has some wondering if he’s better than the Canadian.

Strengths– He’s got great submission skills, an excellent guard, and unfathomable flexibility. Penn also has very good striking skills. Seven of his ten wins have come via stoppage (submission or (T)KO).

Weaknesses– Probably his only weakness in the welterweight division– and it’s a mild one– is power (he’s not as strong as a St. Pierre or Hughes). However, if he ever drops back down to his true weight class– lightweight– then that’ll be the end of that.

Brandon “The Truth” Vera (Heavyweight)– Cocky. However, his 7-0 MMA record coupled with three straight wins in the UFC appear to indicate that his confidence is justified. He made Fabiano Scherner (TKO), Justin Eilers (KO), and Assuerio Silva (submission) look average in recent matches.

Strengths– He’s very strong on the ground with both submissions and positioning. Further, his last three fights seem to prove that he’s also outstanding on his feet, with some really sharp leg strikes. In short, he looks ready to challenge the best the UFC has to offer in the heavyweight division (and light heavyweight division, if he has his way). The fact that the UFC heavyweight division is lacking in contenders won’t hurt his chances either.

Weaknesses– He’s so confident that it could end up hurting him at some point.

Mike “Quick” Swick (Middleweight)– Mike Swick’s nickname and record (9-1) tells you most of the story. He’s ended all four of his fights in the UFC since his appearance on TUF 1 quickly (all have been stopped within 2:20 of the 1st round). However, with his most recent first round stoppage of respected Joe “Diesel” Riggs, he jumped up a notch in many people’s books.

Strengths– His hand speed is just unbelievable. In fact, everything about him, including his submissions, seem to happen at light speed. He also has awesome power. Beyond that, the middleweight division is begging for a worthy challenger to champion Rich Franklin, and who better than Swick?

Weaknesses– It’s hard to gauge his cardio because his fights never go the distance. In his only MMA loss– a small market one against fellow TUF 1 competitor Chris Leben– he got knocked out, leaving many questioning his chin. He did get caught in Bonnar’s triangle in TUF 1– a decision that didn’t count on his record– but Swick was fighting out of his true weight class.

Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez (Welterweight)– The other winner from TUF 1. Since taking TUF 1 in dominant fashion, this undefeated (15-0) and highly confident fighter has shown he’s ready to try his hand against the best the UFC has to offer. In his last 3 fights he’s handled John Alessio (decision), Nick Diaz (decision), and Brian Gassaway (2nd round submission via strikes). He also trains with a good camp (Jackson’s Submission Fighting).

Strengths– Great takedowns and submission skills. He’s a ground and pound nightmare. In addition, he’s a constant flurry of activity (has great cardio).

Weaknesses– His stand up still looks to be below average (though improving). Further, in his recent decision victory over John Alessio, he seemed unwilling to stand for any length of time with his opponent. In other words, he’s quite predictable. Diego goes for takedown upon takedown, and other fighters know it.

His next fight against Karo Parisyan should be a barn burner. If he does win– which isn’t going to be easy– then expect one more fight before a title shot. Of course, getting a shot at current welterweight champion Matt Hughes is oftentimes nothing to get too excited about.

Well Well Well. It looks like we've stolen another one from the competition ladies and gentleman with one event left to declare the champion! The Jones/Hamill DQ destroyed pretty much everyone's parlay play, I know it did mine. Yodawrestler was able to snag the top spot with 53 pts, and rrlawler was able to snag the top spot in the betting portion of the game with $945. Yes, it was that brutal! Anyways, the top spot 10 spots are still up for grabs and a lot of ground can be made up at UFC 107 next weekend. All of the TUF 10 Finale stats as well as seasonal stats can be found after the jump. Let's bring it on home next week!

Strikeforce is rapidly gaining momentum and it is almost every week that we hear that new fighters have signed with the promotion. Scott Coker is busy signing free-agents and talented fighters from different promotions and parts of the world in sharp contrast to the UFC which is dominated by US wrestlers and fighters from Brazil.

The latest news this week has been Dan Henderson signing with the promotion. Unhappy with the way the promotion has been treating him as of late, he has decided to move ahead and sign with Strikeforce. Pay has been one topic of hot discussion for him with the UFC viewing the fighter as one at the end of his career. The thing that really got Henderson upset however is the way the UFC has favored Vitor Belfort over him.

Vitor Belfort after a single fight with Rich Franklin at 195 has been given the shot to fight for the title against Anderson Silva at 185. The guy did not wait in line like Henderson and Marquandt, but has also never fought at 185 in the UFC which is almost ridiculous. Not only that, but the guy has been beaten by Henderson at Pride 32: The Real Deal back in 2006, so of course this would upset him.

In the middle of the negotiations, the UFC have gone out of their way to show the disrespect they have of their fighters however. They actually went and used the fact that Hendo has not renewed his contract with the UFC and banned his clothing line Clinch Gear. That is just the kind of thing the UFC does and that is why it is so important to have another organization that fighters can turn to and fight for.

Scott Coker has a chance today to build Strikeforce into a major player in the MMA promotion market and signing a UFC superstar like Dan Henderson is an important milestone.

Lets take a look at some interesting match-ups that Strikeforce has to headline its next few events.

HW division:

Fedor vs. Werdum and/or Overeem

Brett Rogers vs. Werdum and/or Overeem

Roger Gracie vs. Werdum and/or Brett Rogers

Bobby Lashley vs. Roger Gracie

Jeff Monson vs. Roger Gracie and/or Lashley

Muhammed Lawal vs. any of the above

Antonio Silva vs. Bob Sapp and/or Jan Nortje

need Josh Barnett, Andrei Arlovski, Sergei Kharitonov and Tim Sylvia in the mix

LHW division

Gegard Mousasi vs. Dan Henderson and/or Muhammed Lawal

Renato Sobral vs. Jeff Monson

Sokoudjou vs. Muhammed Lawal and/or Bobby Southworth and/or Mike Whitehead

they would do well by signing some more UFC talent here

MW division

Melvin Manhoef vs. Jason Miller

Ronaldo Jacare Souza vs. Jake Shields

Ronaldo Jacare Souza vs. Dan Henderson

Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Ronaldo Jacare Souza

LW and WW divisions: get fighters from Dream, these divisions are strong over there. Throw Shinya Aoki and Eddie Alvarez into the mix at LW and you've got a solid card.

So looks like there are plenty of top-notch fights to see for the MMA fan that is tired of weak UFC cards on PPV. Lets take a look now at the upcoming UFC matches.

UFC 107 (Dec 12) – good card, one of the best for a while but nowhere near Fedor vs Rogers in Nov. (UFC 105 and UFC 106 sucked so much, UFC 105 was not even worthwhile watching for free)

UFC 108 (Jan 2 '10) – decent card assuming Junior Dos Santos vs. Gilbert Yvel is on.

UFC 109 (Feb 6) – card full of second-rate fighters. Demian Maia thrown down to the preliminary card. Couture vs. Coleman is a fight that should be in the preliminary card. This event needs a champion or two like UFC 108.

So really you don't really get to watch any champions between Dec 12 and Feb 21. UFC organizes too many events with a thin card for each. Couture is now fighting in every event making a living but we want to see Anderson Silva, Machida, GSP and Lesnar. All these guys are out on the shelf and we don't even know when they will return. This is why Strikeforce has a good chance. It will take years to make it happen but if they do succeed and get the right media distribution, they good make it really big and not just in the US but across the globe.

Lets see some good marketing from Strikeforce, good production of the shows, flashy entrances, good commentary and solid cards. Add to that some good media distribution Scott, and Dana White will get fired.

December 22nd, 2009 by ianmaxwell1961

For now, enjoy nitpicking these hi-res photos to death. But first, an official studio-released synopsis!

Sherlock Holmes has made his reputation finding the truth at the heart of the most complex mysteries. With the aid of Dr. John Watson, his trusted ally, the renowned “consulting detective” is unequaled in his pursuit of criminals of every stripe, whether relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills, or the blunt force of his fists.

After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to save the latest victim and uncover the killer: the unrepentant Lord Blackwood. As he approaches his scheduled hanging, Blackwood–who has terrorized inmates and jailers alike with his seeming connection to dark and powerful forces–warns Holmes that death has no power over him and, in fact, his execution plays right into Blackwood’s plans.

And when, by all indications, Blackwood makes good on his promise, his apparent resurrection panics London and confounds Scotland Yard. But to Holmes, the game is afoot.

Racing to stop Blackwood’s deadly plot, Holmes and Watson plunge into a world of the dark arts and startling new technologies, where logic is sometimes the best crime-fighting weapon…but where a good right hook will often do the job.

“Crime is common. Logic is rare.”

For a look at the full hi-res gallery, go HERE.

From that official synopsis, it sounds like they could have titled this film “When Sherlock met Houdini.” Seriously though, early word is that this film is going to be good holiday fun for all. Will you be in attendance?

Sherlock Holmes opens on Christmas Day.

The Guy Richie/Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law Sherlock Holmes movie has has certainly done much to put The Great Detective back in public view and generate much analysis of Holmes past and present. I thought I would collect many of the the links that have appeared recently into one post.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes — Faithful or Flawed? Holmes experts Leslie S. Klinger and Steven Rothman contributed to the article along with Guy Richie. Wired author Hugh Hart compares Downey's Hat, Pipe, Habits, Sanity, and Physique to Doyle's character.

Sherlock with a six-pack: Forget deerstalkers and piles, Guy Richie's Holmes is a ruthless, brawling superhero. Michael of the Mail Online examines Richie's rebooting of Doyle's iconic detective. Richie is quoted I know a lot of people will find our take on Holmes a bit of a travesty, but I am convinced this is the closest possible interpretation of what was in Conan Doyle’s mind.

Can I be complementary, my dear Watson? We celebrate flashy, insensitive Holmes, but it’s his sidekick’s common sense, bravery and friendship that we should admire Ben Macintire of the TimesOnline says that Dr Watson, MD, may be the most unfairly overshadowed character in English literature. Excellent contrast of Holmes and Watson.

Sherlock Holmes: The detective who wouldn't die. The sub-heading of this TimesOnline article by Simon Callow is: Arthur Conan Doyle couldn’t bear the fame of his detective, but he couldn’t kill him off either. This is an excellent look at Holmes, the character, his development, what Doyle thought of Holmes, how our images has been shaped by such aspects as the names Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

Guy Ritchie casts off the deerstalker to reveal new Sherlock Holmes. The Times Online has certainly done its part to examine the new Sherlock Holmes movie in relation to the stories. Ben Hoyle looks at the past imagining of Holmes and the Holmes we will see in the movie.

Diagnosis – Hidden Clues. In this NY Times Magazine article, Dr. Lisa Sanders looks for clues to explain Holmes' more extreme characteristics.

The Real Sherlock Holmes Alex Knapp, in Heretical Ideas: A Journal of Unorthodox Ideas, believes that Judging by the photos and trailers, the upcoming Sherlock Holmes appears to be truer to the original stories than virtually any other adaptation. He discusses aspects of the film with examples from the canon stories and also says What is NOT true to Doyles’ Holmes is the popular TV and movie portrayals of him–which turned him into a classy, upper-class gentlemen.

Comparing Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes to Conan Doyle's Stories. Robert Davis writing in Paste Magazine has an excellent analysis of the movie backed up with quotes from the stories.

The London of Sherlock Holmes … Mapped. This isn't an article but it is a fun contribution to the Sherlock Holmes madness the movie has generated. All the London locations mentioned in the stories are mapped. Interesting to look at the distribution.

"AVATAR" COUNTDOWN: 1 DAY WRAP-UP

Welcome to Pandora…

James Cameron's "Avatar," after a decade as an elusive dream (or, perhaps, a cinematic equivalent to the Flying Dutchman) is officially here. The film appears to be poised for a $200-million weekend and the reviews are positive — and now the film even has a bit of a political firefight going (look at the comments here at the Hero Complex after a Drudge Report link on Thursday).

Here at the Complex it's been quite a month as we counted down to the film with 30 days of coverage that left us, well, blue in the face, just like a lot of the world's moviegoers will be this weekend. "Avatar" has been billed as a landmark moment in cinema, and by many accounts (including one glowing review by a famous Cameron nemesis in Hollywood) it lives up to the billing. Time will be the true test of the film and its legacy, but right here, right now, the world is turning its eyes to a truly ambitious sci-fi epic and saying, "I see you…" Here's a look back at our coverage of "Avatar," which we covered with more intensity, access and insight than anybody, anywhere.

REVIEW: 'Avatar' video game is an alien epic in its own right

If Avatar were the most expensive movie of all-time, there might be some responsibility to score the biggest opening-weekend of all time. But, at $240 million, Avatar was not the most expensive movie ever. 2012 ($260 million), Spider-Man 3 ($275 million) and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End ($300 million) all cost more. Heck, thanks to 2012 (remember when Roland Emmerich was known for cheap effects that looked expensive?), it was not even the most expensive non-sequel. But expectations are a dangerous thing, so how much Avatar pulled in this weekend will not matter as much as perception of said numbers. If the press jumps on the 'mere' $73 million opening sprint the way they crucified King Kong's $50 million 3-day and $66 million five-day opening, then the film may forever be considered a disappointment no matter how much it grosses in the end. On the other hand, if the number is looked at in a realistic fashion, then we can all acknowledge that this was a pretty darn-impressive opening weekend for a film with major long-term potential. Let's begin…

The much anticipated and debated (amongst film nerds at least) Avatar debuted this weekend with $77 million. That's the second-biggest December opening in history, behind the $77.25 million debut of Will Smith's I Am Legend. In Avatar's defense, I Am Legend was an hour shorter, had a great tag-line that doubled as an easy-to-understand plot synopsis (”The last man on earth is not alone.”), and had the added buzz of the debuting trailers for The Dark Knight. While Warner Bros. held its non-IMAX Dark Knight trailer off the internet until Sunday night, Paramount did Fox no similar favors, releasing its Iron Man 2 teaser online two days before Avatar's opening day. It's also worth noting that Avatar actually opened on fewer screens than many of the top December openings. On the other hand, Avatar debuted in countless 3D and mini-IMAX screens, which increased the general ticket prices to more than overcome the running-time and screen-count disadvantage. For what it's worth, it beat Up's $68 million opening, taking the record for 3D opening weekends. But Avatar did break one very notable record. It is the biggest debut in history for a completely unaffiliated original movie. By that, I mean it was not a sequel, not a franchise adaptation, not a literary adaptation, and not a star-vehicle. It's also racked up $164 million overseas, for a global total of $241 million.

So far, general word of mouth is strong, with those who didn't go in with months of anticipation and expectations pretty much being blown away by the 3D visuals, photo-real special effects work, and large-scale action spectacle (my parents saw it on opening day and loved it). But long-term predictions would be pure guesswork at this point. If we argue that the Saturday and Sunday snowstorms prevented otherwise interested moviegoers from checking out the picture, then we can either expect stronger than normal weekday sales or inflated second-weekend grosses. We'll know more after its second weekend, when it will attempt to use positive buzz to overcome the sure-fire smash weekend debut of Sherlock Holmes. So I'll just toss out the following math: If Avatar performs like the alleged flop King Kong (4.36x its opening weekend), it can expect to gross $335 million. If it performs like Titanic (it won't but let's do the math anyway), it'll do 20.9x times its opening weekend figure for $1.61 billion in the US. Obviously that isn't going to happen, but I will say that January 2010 seems on paper a lot quieter than January 2009. So it won't likely run into the problem that last year's holiday releases did (Marley and Me, Bedtime Stories, Yes Man, and Seven Pounds), where the usual leggy holiday and post-holiday season got kneecapped by uncommonly popular January releases (Gran Torino, Taken, Paul Blart Mall Cop).

If it needs to be said, Avatar was never, ever going to reach the upper-realms of the opening weekend chart. There has never been a December opening that even topped $80 million, let alone $100 million and beyond. Before this weekend, no completely original and star-less movie had opened north of $68 million (The Day After Tomorrow). Furthermore Avatar had to deal with a brutally negative entertainment press that basically made stuff up to make the movie look doomed ('it cost $500 million!' 'the 3D made our previous audiences sick!'). It was a 2.75 hour movie with no stars and a difficult to explain premise, plus 3D visuals that frankly looked so much better in theaters that the teaser, trailer, and photos were a little underwhelming to the uninformed. Topping off its sea of troubles that would have felt more at home in A Serious Man, we had those brutal snowstorms over the weekend. On the other hand, the 'wow, it's great' surprise factor worked wonders for Jurassic Park, as people like myself had absolutely no idea how good it was going to be until those Thursday advance-night showings on June 10th, 1993. Surprise artistic success is always better for long-term box office than expected brilliance. One thing we learned this weekend, never ever bet against James Cameron.

Before I dash, a bit of non-Avatar news (not much of it out there). Did You Hear About the Morgans? opened with just $6.6 million, so it'll get hammered by It's Complicated next weekend. The Blind Side, at $164 million, is now Sandra Bullock's highest-grossing movie and the biggest sports movie of all time. Plus, by next week at the latest, it will be the second-highest-grossing 'based on a true story' movie in history, behind the relative non-fiction of The Passion of the Christ. The Princess and the Frog dropped 49%, bringing its ten-day total to a somewhat disappointing $44 million. It will need all the holiday cheer that it can muster to cross the $100 million mark. A Christmas Carol dropped 49%, as a result of losing its IMAX and 3D screens to you-know-what. Its total stands at $130.8 million, and Disney is hoping to use the Christmas season to get this one past $150 million. Invictus dropped 51% and now stands at $15 million. Any hopes of grossing more than $35 million will depend on Oscar traction in the next month.

An 'avatar' or 'avatara' in Hinduism or Sanskrit, refers to a god that has come to live in and among humans for the span of a lifetime. Avatar: The Last Airbender is an anime story of Aang, a reluctant but brave avatar who is trained by monks in the avatar arts of airbending and waterbending. In 2010, M. Night Shyamalan's new movie 'The Last Airbender' is scheduled to air. For fans of Avatar, airbenders and M. Night Shyamalan this movie should be a real treat.

If you like the avatar adventures and Japanese manga style cartoons, here are some websites with free printable avatar coloring pages for you to print and enjoy. If you cannot print or do not want to print these coloring pages, many can be colored online.

Hugolescargot (or Hugo the Snail in French) is a website with many different free printable coloring pages. I've come to really like and rely on Hugoescargot for easy to print, good quality coloring pages featuring many different subjects and characters. In French, 'coloriages' means coloring pages. There are 29 Avatar coloring pages including Aang, Prince Zuko, Sokka and other avatar characters. Double click the pictures that you want to print and you will open an ad-free window to print from. Simply right click or choose print from the File menu.

Grandparents Coloring Pages has 6 coloring pages featuring Aang, Katara, Sokka, Azula and more. These are free and easy to print without downloading anything or registering.

Nick-Magic has 19 free printable Avatar coloring pages that require no registration or special reader program like Adobe.

When you print, be sure to look for the Fast' or 'economical' option from your printer's Properties or Options menu. You will still print a good copy but you will use only about one tenth of the ink used for regular printing. We also keep scrap paper and junk mail with one-sided printing on it for our coloring pages. This is a great way to reuse paper and save money.

Happy reading and coloring!

Friday and Saturday night are just a blur in the rear view mirror of life. You played hard all weekend like the doctor gave you only 48 hours to live. You closed down the club, met all the ladies, went to all-night parties, maybe even got lucky, maybe said something stupid, maybe got in a fight, maybe sat in the corner on your thumb watching girls go by. Guess what, the doctor works on Sunday, he’s back in the office, and he just gave you another 120 hours to live until next Friday. You got a lot of time on your hands to think about things. Sucks to be you.

Woah. You smoked your mind the last two nights. Now you’ve got no sleep, no cigarrettes, no money, no honey, and all of the sudden now it’s not so funny. And worst of all, the alcohol has upset your chemical balances and made you all emotional. In a matter of minutes, you can go from whimsical ninny to that depressed bouncing Zoloft ball that chases the butterfly.

Sunday is lonely, whether you are a redneck, a thug, a preppie, a churchy, or a motorhead. It does not matter if you were two-steppin’, chillin’, jammin’, prayin’, or headbangin’ – Sunday has got you in its lonely daze.

This is when your counterpart, Married-n-Bored, is all smiles. He’s curled up on the couch with his wife, coppin’ a feel on her butt, she’s gigglin’ over the Sunday funny pages, she’s feelin’ his groove, feelin’ good from goin’ to church and wants a little sin for dessert, watchin’ a movie, playin’ Monopoly (he’s the little Top Hat piece and he’s got a Hotel on Boardwalk), he’s walkin’ on the beach, enjoyin’ a picnic Manwich sandwich and tater salad, goin’ out for dinner at night, Sunday drivin’ and takin’ pictures of the world’s largest ball of twine. Let me put it this way: Married-n-Bored is Fat-n-Happy on Sunday. He’s experiencing clean living. He’s lovin’ life. Why? Cause he feels just as bad as you do about the weekend but he’s got his wife to lean on, and she’s got him to lean back on. All you got is the Papa John’s delivery guy who just wants his fifty cent tip, and the delivery guy is not about to crawl up on the couch with you and spoon your weepy ass.

Strange that Sunday can be so lonely when for a single man (or woman), Sunday is truly the most liberating day of the week. Sunday is a whole day of nothing just waiting for you to fill your life’s cup with a memory. You could be taking a class, helping kids, taking in a game, reading a classic, studying a foreign language, flogging the dolphin. But no, what do you do. You brood. You brood and brood, and when you get done brooding, you brood. “Oh, woe is me! Where is my life going? What kind of person at my age is still doing this stuff every weekend? Look at this place. Oh, my clothes smell awful. Oh Lawd, I is a disgrace! Take me Lawd!” Then what do you do? You start distracting yourself. Anything you can get your hands on you become interested in. “Look, a mayonnaise jar!” You read the label carefully. PBS has a show on about petunias, you get out a pen and take notes. You clean the entire house with a toothbrush. Laundry, comics, grocery shopping, you even call your parents and siblings! But you can’t run forever in circles chasing your tail to get away from your head. That inner monologue never stops, there is no pausing your conscience. It all builds up until the night when you see Della Reese helping some kid with cleft pallate on “Touched by An Angel” and the piano starts to play and you curl up in the fetal position on the kitchen table and emit the world’s biggest, drippiest tear. You big baby! Get out there and live! You’re single! Married-n-Bored is jealous of you all week. Live, dammit!

Consider this your guide to coping with those Sunday nights. You need to keep your head up, but by yourself it’s not easy. Here are the tips:

1.) Start a bug collection: Remember when you were a kid and you had that teacher who brought in his amazing June bug collection? Be that guy.

2.) Eye Candy: Nothing like a multimedia, fast-action, hard-hitting, graphically intense video game to overload your senses. Your mind will have no choice but to concentrate on the action. Forget about life! Replace true emotion with soulless distractions. Try Grand Theft Auto. When you have to drive it like you stole it, have a virtual hooker in the passenger seat, and six squad cars bulleting your tailpipe, the last thing on your mind will be loneliness.

3.) Save the World, Bono: Sunday is a great day for rationalizing, justifying, and being a hypocrite in general. Last night in the club a guy accidentally bumped into you, so you threatened him and his family, and also went on to threaten his dog, his car, his Constitutional rights, and his delivery guy before kicking him down in the parking lot. Guess what – today you can deliver meals to the elderly and the infirm and feel like you are a good person! After you help bring Western Civilization to destruction on Friday and Saturday, save the world on your Sundays.

4.) Be Condescending and Rude: If someone invites you to a picnic or other uncool event, roll your eyes, make up an excuse, and condescend to the person who is inviting you. If you see a Married-n-Bored guy walking down the street looking all Fat-n-Happy, quietly mock his wife’s body. Calling her fat and labeling him a stupid sucker will make you feel much, much better. Imagine how miserable the husband must truly be and how hard it must be for him to fake that ear-to-ear smile he’s wearing.

5.) Be Shallow: Do pushups and look at yourself in the mirror. Pump up your ego by knowing, not thinking, but knowing that no woman deserves you. Did you forget that the only reason you are alone on Sunday is that no woman can tie you down? Of course you haven’t forgot; you are Mr. Perfect! Convince yourself that you’ve banged every woman worth doing from here to Kalamazoo.

6.) Dress up Your Pet: Everyone enjoys seeing a dog wearing a fireman’s coat or kingly purple robes. Take lots of pictures of your dog. Call him ‘Your Highness’ and wait on him hand-and-paw all day long. Tell your dog all of your dearest secrets then wait for him to respond.

7.) Experiment in the Culinary Arts: Since you like to tell women that you can cook like a five-star chef, try making some new recipes, or at least look them up so you can drop the names of souffles, torts, and other snobby foods in conversation. Be creative with what you have on hand – Jello, Cheetos, canned meat and Hormel Chili – see if you can’t bring out the Wolfgang Puck in you.

8.) Declare a Major Change in your Life: Go ahead, delude yourself. You’ve earned it! Maybe it isn’t too late to try out for the Florida State football team. Yeah, those song lyrics are looking good – someday you will record them. You are going to save $200 a week toward starting your own business. From now on it’s all work and no play for you. I’m inspired by you – atta boy!

If none of these techniques work, just rock back and forth on the floor and cry with your mouth gaping. Let the tears stream down your face. Just let it out. Call your ex and beg her to take you back. Tell her that you are so miserable without her (even though you thought she was a Nazi two months ago). You’ll do anything to get her back. Don’t you understand me, woman? Please just give me shelter, I’ll do anything you ask, it will all be different, I promise, just…

Please hold me, I’m so

Single-n-Lonely

The first Lovely Bones trailer was released. The Lovely Bones trailer marks a long awaited moment for fans of the book, and those interested in the upcoming film. The Lovely Bones trailer is definitely a must-watch, because it is presenting a film story not like one we have seen before. The Lovely Bones trailer also shows off what is going to be a mixture of great cinematography straight from the imagination of Peter Jackson. Take a look at the trailer for The Lovely Bones (linked at the end of this article) and what has been created by the same man who brought us the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Author Alice Sebold penned the novel for this story, which has since been adapted as a screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson. The Lovely Bones novel came out back in 2002, and made it on to many best sellers lists as reader after reader enjoyed what the pages held. It's not the typical novel that people will recommend, especially because it starts out with some very difficult subject material. Allowing Peter Jackson to helm this project was questioned at first, but after seeing the first Lovely Bones trailer, and seeing the imagery that he was able to come up with, he may just have been the perfect man for the job.

The Lovely Bones is told from the point of view of Susie Salmon, a young girl who has been murdered. In the book, she starts the narration after she has already died, and from there the story tells both her views and that of her family. She is faced with difficult choices, and many heart-wrenching moments come up as she tries to deal with what comes after life, and her family struggles to come to terms with what has happened to their little girl. All the while a murderer is still on the loose, and Susie Salmon has to decide if it is more important to help her family move on, or to be vengeful towards her killer.

Though the central theme of this film is difficult subject matter for some to deal with, the story itself is very strong in both character and plot. The novel was a very good one, and the film thusly has a lot to live up to in that regard. A strong cast has also been put together for the film, including Susan Sarandon, Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, and Stanley Tucci. Together they may just present a really great story for the big screen. The release date for The Lovely Bones is December 11th, 2009.

Menewsha is an online avatar community that was founded in January of 2007, and has grown a lot since. It is in its Alpha stages now, but you can still do a lot of fun things there!

The sidebar of the website is easy to navigate, and contains most of the links you will need. Other useful links are easy to find also, they are located underneath the well drawn banner that is on every page. Menewsha has very good artists working for them, the art around the site is very nice and professional looking.

One of the cool things you can do on the site is create your own customized avatar to use that will represent you on the forums. You are able to choose your avatars hair, eyes and mouth.There are plenty of choices and they are all very well drawn and fun to choose from. You have the option to change these as many times as you want, for no gold, so don't worry about it if you like more than one of the styles of features. Once you choose your avatars features, you can look through the shops to see what clothes you will want in the future, seeing as your avatar is only in their underwear now! I find this good though, because unlike websites that give you starter clothes, at Menewsha you have to work to get gold to buy your first clothes! There are different ways to get gold, currently there is the card game and posting on the forums. If you are playing the card game you can bet your gold and pick a card. If you pick the right card you get double your gold, but if you pick the wrong card, you lose your gold. At the forums, it's less risky trying to get gold. All you have to do there is post! You will find that you get caught up in conversations and make new friends, soon you will have a bunch of gold without even realizing it! With almost 2000 users and many forums to post on you are sure to find someone you get along with! You might even find someone you know, because a lot of people (like me) hop from avatar community to avatar community! Don't forget to post on the newbies forum, when you are a newbie. There will be a ton of people waiting to welcome you!

Now, once you have posted on the forums and played cards until you have enough money, you are ready to buy clothes. It's lots of fun looking through the eight stores of Menewsha that carry all sorts of pixel clothes and cool things in search of the perfect outfit. If you don't find what you want the first time you look, don't worry, either the artists will put something new and fancy in the shop that will catch your eye, or when you go on the forums, you will see another persons avatar wearing something that you like, but didn't seem to see when you were looking through the shops. Looking at other peoples avatars is a good way to imagine how something in the shops would look on your avatar, since there dosn't seem to be a preview feature in the shops yet.

Don't forget to make a bank account also, once you get enough money to do so that is. You can earn a 5% monthly interest rate on gold that you have in the bank.

Journals are an interesting feature of Menewsha. You can make a journal, read other peoples journals and even comment on their journal posts.There are lots of people telling interesting stories in their journals, why not join in?

You will notice that there is a trading link on your sidebar as well. From here you can check out your trading activity that you have been doing with all of the items in your inventory.

So, as you can see, there are tons of fun things to do and many friends to make at Menewsha! Hope to see you there soon!
