The Tumbler and the Bat-Pod Are Rolling from Coast-to-Coast
Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the July 20 release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” will have an opportunity to get a firsthand look at the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod, which are rolling out on a coast-to-coast tour, sponsored by Mountain Dew and IMAX®.
Both the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod have served as high-powered modes of transportation for Batman in Christopher Nolan’s earlier blockbusters—with the Tumbler first appearing in “Batman Begins,” and the Bat-Pod being introduced in “The Dark Knight.” They will both be featured in different ways in the hugely anticipated finale to the director’s Batman trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Leading up to the opening of the film, the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod will be making their way across North America, appearing in the following cities and towns*:
Bentonville, Arkansas May 12 Tulsa, Oklahoma May 15 Overland Park, Kansas May 19 Kansas City, Missouri May 21 Chicago, Illinois May 25 Washington, DC May 27 Baltimore, Maryland May 28 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania May 30 Buffalo, New York June 1 Toronto, Canada June 7 Montreal, Canada June 10 Purchase, New York June 12 Columbus, Ohio June 13 Lansing, Michigan June 15 Detroit, Michigan June 16 Brooklyn, Michigan June 17 Indianapolis, Indiana June 19 Nashville, Tennessee June 21 Knoxville, Tennessee June 22 Atlanta, Georgia June 23 Dallas, Texas June 25 San Antonio, Texas June 27 El Paso, Texas June 29 Albuquerque, New Mexico July 1 Phoenix, Arizona July 2 Los Angeles, California July 7
@Tiger On Hurt Locker they are out in the desert with a high powered rifle and a spotter and they shoot these Arabs at a distance of like 800 yards. That would be damn difficult wouldn't it? One of them they pop off while he is moving/running which I think would be damn near impossible?
Naw man some of these guys are fucking insane when it comes to shooting and how far they hit targets. Go on youtube and look up some stuff. It's just crazy.

It can be difficult but not impossible. If you have a good spotter who can read the terrain, weather, wind, distance. Espacially if you've been in a spot for a while you've already calculated everything, small changes wont take long to factor in. You can adjust on the fly, but most of all you have to trust what ths spotter is telling you, hes watching the world around you, and your focused on the target. You also have to be a good shooter, any idot can pull a trigger but, a good marksman can control his breathing, heartrate, trigger control.
I can go on for days talking about this shit... 8->
The day you need a gun and don't have one, may be your last.
Children of Men is not necessarily post apocalyptic, but it takes place in a future where women have become infertile and the world has pretty much fallen apart. The only "funtioning" government left is Britain, and they have a harsh system for people who try to sneak into the country where they are sent to prison-cities and shit.
The movie is from the perspective of Theo, a British citizen whose ex wife is a leader of a refugee-rights activist group. Theo has to transport an illegal alien who is the first woman to be pregnant in 18 years out of the country to safety.
Also I saw The Avengers today with a bunch of friends. It was fucking fantastic. Best Marvel-based superhero movie yet. First movie that I've ever seen the crowd applaud when the credits rolled.

And that's a pretty brief summary.
