Hulk Smash Iron Man 2 Rumors!

I remember that Facebook/Twitter study it came out af few weeks/days ago it was also funded by the owners of Facebook, so its not very credible. (Imo)

Ken J, totally agree with your point on people with insecurity issues. L.A. Is stuffed to the brim with these kinda of people.
Not single them out but Armenian males all suffer from massive insecurity issues as well as 99% of all L.A. females and 100% of all rappers...
I think it all starts in school where being popular is a 24/7 way of life. Our tv/superstar culture also supports this,,,

i think the Hulk is in but Norton is out. they'll probably assemble initially to take out the hulk, which will drive him super mental and he won't be able to revert back to human. then, stuck in hulk form, they'll convince him to join them and fight the bigger threat.

Yep, that's true. The study I speak to is mainly talking about working the brain and stuff like that. The act of looking through profiles, pictures, comments, notifications, replying and commenting, etc. works many different areas of the brain and promotes things like recall, image/facial recognition, associations, and stuff like that, which is good for the brain, like those little games in Brain Age and other ones like those are designed to do.

But yah, face-to-face communication is very important, and when that's not possible, phone conversations help too. No body language, but you can tell a lot about what someone is thinking by the tone of their voice when they say things.

I'm actually kind of interested in this field, I always try to observe things like body language, the tone of peoples' voices, etc. etc. You'll be surprised just how accurately you can read people within just a few minutes of meeting them...

@ KEN J

Agreed on facebook. However I did recently read a study regarding facebook/myspace/aol, etc. and how bad it is for your communication skills.

"The lack of face to face communication undermines skills such as reading body language and other indirect communication facilities.

Mass electronic communication may lead to a lower quality of social interaction due to the sheer number of participants; the background level of gossip is likely to be higher than in face to face interactions. There's also the inference that online information has less value somehow than real world information, although the same could be said of water cooler office gossip."


It's espeically bad for kids as it teaches them to be self-centered, detached for the real world, and horrible at reading body language, tone, etc.


People with online "relationships" are also for the most part not as happy. Humans are social creatures that need face to face communication, friendships and relationships.

Ironically I'm sharing this info on an internet forum lol.

Point is, use it wisely.

@ogb

Actually, that same study found that going on facebook, keeping track of your friends and doing things like that actually improve brain function, it just found that these quick burst information stuff like Twitter and text messaging messes up your memory and your ability to apply critical thinking, lol.

So facebook is actually good, who would have guessed, but Twitter is bad, well, that's obvious...

@GK

I don't know, I never thought the content of that kind of music to be intelligent or mature, so don't listen to it. I would say what I listen to but know I will get a lot of crap for it, lol. :-P

One thing I do notice is that a large percentage of people who listen to rap music and embrace the rap/hip-hop culture tend to have insecurity issues. They tend to feel like they always have something to prove. Thus the constant fighting, putting big mufflers on their car, anything to draw attention to themselves and all effort is put into trying to appear "cool" or "hip" to those around them. They really think people are watching them all the time, that's probably why they spend 30 minutes in front of the mirror making sure their cap is just crooked enough, their facial hair is shaved all cool looking, their pants are hanging down just enough, their shirts are big enough, enough of their fake but overly flashy "bling" is visible from all sides, and even the way they walk, they have to walk in a way that they hope will draw attention. They like to put flashing lights on their car that stays on even when it's off, because even the idea that their car is drawing attention even without them in it makes them feel better. They have to install those tv screens in their headrest even if nobody usually rides in the back, and those screens have to be on while they're driving even if it's just static or a blue screen just so other drivers know they have them there. I can go on and on, all classic signs of insecurity issues, and those rap videos play right into that. That's why they are all the same...

But the issue here, just because you find a correlation, how can you prove which is the cause and which is the effect? When you say the study shows people who listen to pop has a lower IQ, is it the pop music that causes it? Or is it that people with lower IQ listen to pop? I don't know. The thing about Twitter is that its popularity is relatively new, so you can study before and after effects and compare similar groups of people, but with Pop music, I think music choice is so subjective it's hard to separate them "equally" to study the test subjects accurately to determine the causality...

Twitter is for twats...most of the time...just like facebook, it depends on how and and to what purpose you use it.

But ppl that follow celebrity twitters are hopeless.

Well I say Twitter is for twits...now berfore I am lambasted by Rob and Vic..I know you need to use Twitter as a part of your blogging but it's definitely not for me!!

@ Ken there are also studies that show that people that listen to modern pop music have lower IQs as well..what does that say about Beyonce and Jay z and Pink , etc,..?

Speaking of Twitter, I use it to share news items and such. You all better be following me, I only have like 80 compared to Vic' 4000+ lol

@Ken J

Regarding Twitter... uh... I forgot what I was going to say.

8)

Vic

haha I would believe it
have you been on the internet recently? The grammar, spelling and mannerisms are atrocious, I really do fear for the future

One of my friends was saying that a study shows that Twitter is making people dumber, making people have short-term memory loss, lol.

Geez, you guys are talking about my Pink statement like I'm some kind of celebrity geek. Come on, I think I'm the LAST person to look up to celebrities. I think 90% of entertainers are not in touch with the real world. I brought up Pink because I was glad that COMPARED TO MY PERCEPTION OF OTHER ARTISTS OF HER GENRE I'm glad she was better than that, but it's really not saying much...

Thanks Shamose, I appreciate it!!!!

:-)

I would like a Hulk cameo in IM2, better still I would like a cameo of a frozen cryogenic tube labelled "Steve Rogers" with a hand movement or something (signifying his awakening) that would be great as they wouldn't even need an actor.

also recast norton, pompous a**hole who needs him

also also: to the person who said without norton we would get another daredevil etc they werent made by marvel so the argument holds no ground

@ Winston Smith aka 790
Kudos to you and I agree with most things you have said, except for the facebook thing, I think having a private profile containing actual friends is of no harm

to the rest of people: twitter is the ultimate low and proves our society is descending further and further into dissolution. As does this obsession with celebrity gossip... I really dont want to be apart of a race/society that looks to a mediocre "musician/gossip fodder" such as pink for inspiration... god help us (<---expression as i dont believe in religion)

what? for saying he sounds like an idiot sometimes? you want me to lie?
he said I don't see things that are right in front of my face, because as part of society I'm blind to certain things. that's just another way of saying I'm an idiot to obvious things in life so whatever.

@cantizzle

dammit man, I should have known you were just messing with me... dammit... :-P

@MCat

Uh, I think that was a bit unnecessary... I mean, yah, he's called me names too, but whatever, still gonna defend the guy, THIS TIME, lol.

I truely hope Ed Norton returns to this role and is a full part of brining these woderful stories to the big screen with the best actors around. I hope Marvel & himself can behave like grown ups and sort out their problems ASAP. They done a brilliant job turning The Hulk back around last year and saving him for future films. We can all see where we'd love the Marvel movies to go now towards The Avengers - but we need all the actors to stay with it.

Yeah Obg me and GK333 have been Screen Rant friends for almost a year or more,,, sorry your not in the club,,,

You (obg) say,,,
"Preach your babel to someone else. The real truth is too ugly for you", are you high on meth or in a cult??? Your version of reality is restricted and without a doubt debatable,,,

Yeah Hulk cameo,,,!!! (trying to stay on topic) !!!
Would love to see Hulk cameo in IM2!!!

Wow, how the hell did I miss this exchange?

You guys cool it right now - you should know better according to how I run this site.

Vic

@ 790

I didn't realize we are so babelic in nature...and here I thought that it was the masses that were burying their heads in the sands to hide from the real truth when in fact all along it was us 790...who knew? I am really taken aback by this startling revelation..Thank-you ogb, where would we be without you?

ogb

ow... you hurt my feeling!! Please stop!! Please! It's not my fault you obviously are an even-toed ungulate who falls into a dominance hierarchy system that is definitely ovine in nature.. Bellwethers ogb? Better get one!! :)

Well I'm glad you two nut jobs found each other.

Preach your babel to someone else. The real truth is too ugly for you so you cling on to this nonsense to make yourself feel special and better than everyone else.

Truly sad.

I'm sorry ogb that was Ba-ah-ah-ah-ad!! ;)

@ ogb

"But take your holier than than conversation else where."

Don't have to, don't need to. Don't read the comments if you can't take it!! :)

And be careful ogb I hear Little Bo Peep calling for you..

The truth hurts eh, obg,,, ???

Thanks GK333!!!, I appreciate it, also thanks to Vic, and Bruce,,,!!! who put up with my s**t on a weekly/daily basis... ;-)

The time is now, if I can wake up even one person here its worth all the crap I get from obg, ken and mcat....

No

But take your holier than than conversation else where.

Conspiracy nuts speak about the rest of us as "sheep" doesn't exactly sit well with me.

Trying to pick another fight are you ogb? Seems like that's all you're any good for!

hahaha WOW

Did not expect to find these kinds of ppl on Screen Rant

Crazy

790

I really respect your moxy!! Stick to your guns no matter what!! I am getting tired of that myself the older I get !! I find that as I get older, conformity becomes something that is just easier for me to do..Not the most noble I know but all my good creative energy and my energy to keep up the good fight with government and corporations, I find, is better spent for me on my children and my family!! Maybe when I retire and the kids are doing their own thing I will be able to refocus and fight the good fight again!!

All the best to you 790!!
I admire you!!

Best Regards
