What is a good title for my fantasy story?
I suck at coming up with meaningful titles for my stories, so I decided I need a little help.
This story takes place in a sort of alternate reality where the world is a place of poverty-stricken, crime-ridden cities. It’s inhabited by humans and elf-like creatures called Xavirs (za-veers). The Xavirs are divided into two factions, Helo and Seln. The Helo Xavirs worship the sun, and the Seln Xavirs worship the moon. Because they are opposites, they despise each other and are in a war with each other.
During all of this, a former Helo Xavir warrior named Sol wanders about. Sol is considered a traitor to Helo, and so he’s cast out of their ranks. He sees beyond all of the hate and wants peace for all Xavirs.
There’s also a half-human half-Xavir named Luna who has no clue of her lineage. She lives with a group of human orphans who are alone and steal from wealthy people to support themselves. All of a sudden, Luna and the orphans are attacked by Helo because they spot that she is part Seln. She escapes and bumps into Sol whom she travels with from then on.
Sol and Luna both discover that in order to bring peace among Helo and Seln, they have to find the two ancient scepters that control the will of the sun and the moon and join them together to merge both the sun and the moon, because only a Helo and Seln can work together to do so. They also eventually fall in love, blah blah blah blah blah: all that forbidden love stuff.
That’s about the overall plot of it. I JUST CAN’T MAKE UP A PROPER TITLE!!!
HEEEEELLLPP!!!!

Since the ideals are in your head, its hard for anyone out here to decide. but make it vague, just an idea of what you mean to say rather than a summary. instead of calling it "the war" or "forbidden love" or something like that, call it an idea like "the con" or "choke" or something a little like "sunshine", which would be totally ironic with a very dark, deep cover.

recomendations for pokemon teams?
first before i start i dnt like using legendaries so please dnt give me any as a suggestion. I am making a team in pokemon diamond which is also a team i plan on using in the new pokemon game coming out heartgold.
so far i have Venasuar(Poison/grass-special wall), scizor(Steel/bug-physical sweeper), gengar(Ghost/poison-special sweeper), salamence(Dragon/flying-physical attacker) if u have some other options that i can use for the team that would be great!
i would suggest some pokemon like snorlax who has a high hp and he’s alright.. another good one is swellow just for his speed.. garchomp is another (dragon/ground) really good it also depends on what you like to use.. these are just 3 pokemon that you might want to take into consideration
J1050195 | Feb 06, 2010
I suggest a Lucario, since it’s Fighting/Steel type and has great moves such as Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse, and Close Combat. It also has good Attack, SP.Attack, and Speed. Also try an Ice or Water pokemon, such as Glaceon or Milotic.

Will there be a Alien vs Predator 3?
Alien Vs Predator Requiem Movie Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m1nP3Ntj vY
I so agree with this guy, AVP:R sucks and is bullshit, the only thing that I liked was the Predator homeworld and the Predalien, that’s it, the rest of the movie sucks, and after watching this bullshit, I will never watch another Brothers Strause directed movie, ever again…
Will there be a Alien vs Predator 3 movie, not directed by the Brothers Strause? The next movie should ignore the events in AVP:R…
Paul W.S. Anderson should direct it, because for me, the first AVP was better than this AVP:R bullshit…
I sure hope not. AVP 2 just sucked…..theres no words to describe how much it sucked. I guess its because James Cameron hasnt been part of it.

It appears that you enjoy well-acted movies about people with major character flaws that need to be explored and dealt with. That said, I liked the movie called Normal (2003) starring Jessica Lange, Tom Wilkinson, and Hayden Panettiere so much that I bought a copy of it. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0338290/
Too, most of your movies listed above have male leads. But there are a couple with sole female leads that I could recommend. One is Frozen River (2008) starring Melissa Leo and the other is Julia (2008) starring Tilda Swinton.

If we had no troops in Afghanistan now, would we send 100,000 troops to fight the Taliban?
If the answer is no, that means that we are only sending troops because we do not have the guts to withdraw them, not because we see the Taliban today as a national security threat.
Al Qiada can be defeated by empowering local tribes and civilians economically (With some US missile strikes here and there when needed), not supporting a corrupt Afghan government and their warlord comrades. Al Qiada attacked us not the Taliban. We can deal with the Taliban spending less lives and less treasure than by antagonizing them with more troops on the ground and spending 75 billion. Which will do nothing for the civilians and tribes that do not recognize the central government regardless of the Taliban being there or not.
There are ways to improve Afghanistan:
(1)Have the Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters and other members captured and sent to rehabilitation programs (ex:exit counselling, anger management etc.). The NATO troops should go after the Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders and capture or kill them.
(2)All of the unregulated banks in the Middle East should be regulated and transparent. Banks should be oblidged to disclose the identities of financiers. Banks should cut off funding to the terrorist groups.
(3)Free education. Education needs to be improved in the Middle East. People need to be properly educated so that they can positively contribute to society. Human rights needs to be improved in the Middle East (and everywhere else).
(4)Human rights. Governments in the Middle East should improve their human rights. Legalize same sex relationships marriage and divorce, adoption, and ban all forms of anti-LGBT discrimination (including religious based hate speech). Governments in the Middle East should allow lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered individuals to openly serve in the military, police, government and intelligence agencies. LGBT people should be given the same rights as straight couples and individuals. Womens’ rights need to be improved. Allow inclusive education for every citizen (including people with disabilities).
(5)Establish universal health care (worldwide). Have governments pay for health care to all of it citizens. Insure people, not profits.
(6)Capital punishment. Restrict the death penalty to terrorist leaders, mob bosses, drug lords, and any other high risk crinimal (ex:corrupt government, military, business officials).
(7)Jobs. Citizens in the Middle East should have every right to employment (including people with disabilities, people with mental illnesses, women, homeless people). Allow volunteering to help improve lives.
(8)Outlaw child labour, servile labour and child soldiers.

Blade: Trinity | DVD | A.V. Club
Crimes:
Wasting the goodwill earned by the previous two Blade films on a muddled, poorly shot, tediously scripted mess Taking nearly two hours to never get to a point Using Dracula, the biggest vampire cliché in a genre full of really big clichés, as the main villain, and giving him lines like “Blade, ready to die?” Replacing You’ve Got Mail as the low point in Parker Posey’s cinematic career
Defenders: Writer-director David S. Goyer, actors Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel
Tone of commentary: Enthusiastically obtuse. Goyer repeatedly talks about how filming Blade: Trinity was “the most fun I ever had on a movie,” and Biel and Reynolds express similar sentiments. Both actors underwent a lot of training in preparation for their roles as vampire killers. Biel: “It was hardcore. We were in the gym two, two and a half hours every day.” Goyer adds, “I remember seeing you guys constantly nibble on chicken breasts and energy bars.” It paid off, too. Biel brags, in a line sure to give stunt coordinators everywhere pause, “We barely used [stunt doubles] at all.”
Goyer and Reynolds talk about how Goyer encouraged improvisation on the set. Reynolds: “As a writer-director, I was hugely surprised you were open to that.” And Goyer describes how “With each actor, you have to figure out a different language, because every actor’s different, every actor has a process.” With Parker Posey, he’d shout out imaginary Spice Girls names (“Reticence Spice! Ambiguous Spice!”) to guide her without direct “adjustment.”
In general, Goyer liked to “get two or three good takes as scripted, and then just go off-book and improvise.” Biel is a fan of the technique: “It’s fun. It’s spontaneous. It’s a real reaction to something… that you’ve never said before, that you’ve never thought before.” Goyer reveals that he had a habit of starting and stopping filming without letting the actors know what was going on. “You also never know when you’re gonna find a gem.” This doesn’t explain why in the film, Reynolds comes off as a jackass who can’t stop talking, Biel is droningly earnest, and Wesley Snipes (as the titular character) looks half a take away from murdering everyone on set.
What went wrong: Reynolds obsessed over one line late in the film: “I called David one night like in the middle of the night, I was fully Monday-morning quarterbacking, and I was like, ‘David, I gotta re-shoot that one little chunk.’” The original take appears in the final cut. Goyer complains about a shot of Snipes landing on a car as being “uninteresting,” and his obsession over tiny details, like convincing New Line to spend money on a background clip of an obscure Esperanto-language film (the William Shatner vehicle Incubus ), may have led to some forest-for-the-trees vision problems. Goyer also insisted on including an entirely extraneous scene of a human blood farm, just because he hadn’t been able to include it in the previous two films.
But the real elephant in the production was star Wesley Snipes. Goyer and the others take great pains to avoid criticizing him directly, and Goyer praises Snipes’ performance (he’s especially fond of a jail scene where a drugged Snipes growls and blinks his way through a seemingly endless series of interrogations) and his commitment to the fight sequences. But given the film’s troubled production history—Snipes sued New Line Cinema and Goyer in 2005 for financial and artistic reasons—it’s hard not to read between the lines. In one shot, Goyer says, Snipes was scripted to be meditating, but he “wanted to be hanging upside down like a bat. We filmed it. I think it’s on the outtakes; it looks absolutely ridiculous.” In general, Snipes just didn’t seem to get along with people. Goyer, when talking about a combative conversation on screen, says, “There was a lot of tension between the characters… and that spilled over a little bit onto the set.”
Comments on the cast: Apart from the ambiguity about Snipes, everybody loves everybody. Reynolds was delighted to have Posey (who sneers her way through her role as lead vampire Danica Talos) on set: “I loved working with Parker. She’s out of her skull, and I loved that… It’s like getting to dance with the greatest dancer of all time.” Goyer found a place in the film for character actors James Remar and John Michael Higgins, in small roles that still give both performers a chance to embarrass themselves. And everybody loves Patton Oswalt, who plays a socially challenged tech geek. Goyer says, “If I could adopt Patton Oswalt, I would adopt Patton Oswalt.”
All three are supportive of each other’s work. Reynolds tells Biel: “The crew was just blown away by your physical ability, Jess.”
Inevitable dash of pretension: Goyer considers Trinity to be the capstone of the Blade franchise, and talks about trying to work in arcs related to the earlier films. During a scene where Snipes basically tells Biel “Chin up!” after she finds all her friends dead, Goyer explains, “Blade has moved on in terms of psychology, he’s at a different place in his journey, but Abigail is sort of where Blade was in the first film… We’ve come sort of full circle.” He had high ambitions for Trinity’ s themes as well: “One of the things I wanted to do with this movie was have it set in the real world, have the war spill over into the civilian world.” (If anybody can find examples of the real world in this movie, please let us know.)
Goyer references the movies that inspired him. During a scene where Posey repeatedly slaps Reynolds, Goyer explains, “I got this idea from that moment in Chinatown where Faye Dunaway is slapping her niece. Right? Isn’t it Faye Dunaway slapping her niece, saying ‘She’s my mother, she’s my sister. She’s my sister and my mother’? I love that.” (The scene Goyer describes is actually Jack Nicholson slapping Dunaway, who says, “She’s my sister! She’s my daughter!”)
Commentary in a nutshell: Goyer: “The other thing that happened in this scene is that Blade opened his eyes, and on the day, Wesley did not open his eyes.”
