Dolph only shrugged and said, "He was my boss. He said hit me and I did."(br /)(br /)
Arnold yelling out random quotes from his past movies, including "I'm back," "It's not a tumor" and "WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO?"
(br /)(br /)And how is it different working on an action movie than before? Arnold explained that now that they're older, they "move a little slower." The methods of training are more into stretching and "trying to keep as limber as I can." And at night, "we had to put a lot of ice on your knees, and your hips. Your body doesn't recuperate like when you were 30. You have to pace yourself. Just be more thoughtful."(br /)(br /)
Yes, there are plans for a Twins sequel.(/b)(br /)(br /)Check out the source link below for the full scoop on the events of the panel!

Enjoy. I'll just be hanging out here. And by here I mean "Not San Diego".

In an effort to keep you posted on the latest and greatest Ninja Turtles rumors circulating the great ocean of Internet, we've dug up this little gem thanks to the good guys over at Screen Rant.(br /)(br /)Here's the scoop: A very reliable source who claimed to have gotten their hands on an actual TMNT script draft posted a Tweet that revealed the names "Krang", "The Technodrome", "Beebop", and "Rocksteady". Oh, and "Dimension X" is in there too. To longtime fans of the series, this list reads like an 80's kids dream come true. To everyone else, there's a trip to Wikipedia in your future.(br /)(br /)Of course, as with any rumor, we should all be expected to take it with a Technodrome-shaped grain of salt, whilst simultaneously spouting such details as though they are fact.(br /)(br /)Check out the link for the super-detailed version.

Most of the time I find myself repeating a string of "No's" followed by the occasional "Heck no!". UFC 148's purses are no exception.(br /)(br /)The big winner's this time around? Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin. While Ortiz went home with a paltry $250,000 Griffin walked away with $275,000 which included his $150,000 win bonus. Not bad for the scariest 15 minutes of your life. Still, to this I say if you add on another couple of zeroes I may agree to that fight.(br /)(br /)How about you dear reader? Would you take a trip to the emergency room for the chance at that kind of dough?(br /)(br /)You can check out the full list of payout amounts from UFC 148 at the link below.
