Online casinos would be the digital counterparts of brick and mortar stores. Its abrupt emergence was brought forth by the implementation of this Free Trade and Processing Act in 1994. Several decades later, online casinos climbed like mushrooms, attracting a huge amount of players regular.
As this is a brand new platform 오바마카지노 which delivers exceptional benefits, its prevalence is not overly surprising. As a question of fact, the preference rendered towards online casinos is pretty expected. Players are searching for something fresh, new and innovative-something that could provide an alternative experience, which they found in this kind of platform.
However, because they are not even close to being flawless, it cannot be denied that playing online casinos possess its own set of benefits and short comings.
The Experts
A simple click may be the one thing which a new player needs to complete. Everything which one needs may be enjoyed and obtained in a minute. This is in stark contrast to both physical casinos wherein one wants to traveling and set a schedule. Where as when compared with casinos on line, members may play anytime they need.
Without the hassles and the fuss, obviously, it's less expensive to play online. Transport and other associated expenses nolonger matter since one can play right at the relaxation that his or her own house. Ordinarily, a person spends more when they visit land-based casinos. Aside from the abovementioned expenses, there are instances where they even need to tackle accommodation fees. This is most especially true when you originated in farflung locations.
Better payout
Online casinos deliver better payout. This isn't so surprising. If you compare with the expenses of a conventional casino house to the digital ones, then it is clear that the latter afforded lower costs. In exchange, they are able to afford to offer higher prizes and bonuses.
Lots of promotions
From time to time, one can see a listing of promotions and activities in virtual casinos. Some promotions continue for days and weeks. Others can go provided one month. Players love variety and lots of chances to acquire.
As mentioned, these programs may also fall short in certain aspects like the ones below.
Not Enough societal interaction
A real possibility in playing on the internet is that somehowit prevents the player by interacting socially. The societal need-the have to see real people is where internet casinos have a tendency to flunk. None the less, this really is addressed via the debut of live gaming. In live gambling, the true game is broadcasted online.
System downtime
System downtime is common in the Worldwide Web. All these are inevitable occurrences experienced not merely by online-casinos, but in addition by renowned corporate websites.
Withdrawal problems
Players might need a while until they could withdraw their winnings. Using occasions, most especially if it concerns big amount, players may be asked to exhibit certain documents to prove their own identity. To some, this could be too inconvenient. None the less, that is only for security goals.
Online casinos aren't perfect. It has its shortcomings as well. However, as discussed, these openings are pretty manageable for these not to be immediately addressed.

In the last post, we learned how to grab domain name using Alibaba Domain Service. Now, before jumping further let's understand the first and most interesting part which is Elastic Computer Service (ECS).
By the name, It might give you some sense that a service which might have Elastic feature. Isn't it?
Let me explain you this by one example, suppose you have a nice e-commerce site which you hosted on a dedicated server from a xyz hosting service. So, far your e-commerce site is working fine and now holiday season came and all of sudden you find there is much more traffic than your expectation and your site started crashing. You get lots of feedback from the end consumer that your site is not responding properly. In such case, you will think of network bandwidth upgrade and also upgrade the hosting package which is obvious but after holiday season off you still dealing with the same high-end server which might not be required going forward. Apart from this, you might need to have to have a backup server always to disaster recovery and for that also you are paying a high cost.
So, in Alibaba Cloud Computing Elastic Computer Service gives you the flexibility to solve this type of problems.
With Alibaba ECS service you can create a machine with desire configuration like –upgrade /downgrade bandwidth, RAM, Storage by simple steps and within a few minutes moreover pricing is very cheap.
Alibaba Cloud ECS is secure which is a most important need for any e-commerce business.
To setup, a virtual machine in Alibaba ECS is very easy.
Before proceeding further let me share important points that would help you create your configurations.
ECS Billing mode:-
1) PAY AS YOU GO- Which means you have to pay the amount of hourly use. Most of the time people choose this plan for a development machine and other best part is you can schedule the release of the resource as well or can release anytime when you want.
2) Subscription:- This is another billing mode in which the charge would be on the subscription basis. This will be a good option for production machines where we have to run web application or database 24 X7.
Zone & Region:- Here Zone and region mean the actual or we can say physical data center. for example, if your website target area is India then the ECS should create in Alibaba's Asia Pacific region and Mumbai Zone.
Elastic computing:
With Alibaba Cloud support Horizontal & vertical scaling. We can do load balancing, upgrade, downgrade resources anytime.
I hope with this you might have a basic understanding of ECS.
In next step, we will see a 5 easy step to deploy your first ECS Windows operating system instance.
Just wait for tomorrow.

Trigger/Content Warnings: Violence, violence toward children, child death, child mutilation, sexual assault, war, poverty, starvation, depression, suicidal ideation and thought, PTSD.
Official Blurb: In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.
My Take: 5/5 Stars for overall series, 5/5 for The Hunger Games, 5/5 for Catching Fire, 4/5 for Mockingjay.
Stupid people are dangerous.
~ Suzanne Collins
I know, I know, I know. What rock have I been hiding under? To be honest, I hesitated to even post this review because … old news, seriously. However, I am a little lean on five star books these days (partly my fault for not making the time to read and partly a bit of a slump I think) and this series is really very good, so I wanted to post a Five Star Series Review.
The thing that works the best for me about this series is the subtlety of the evolution of Katniss's character. It's like a slow burn character arc that by book three makes you feel completely wrung out, right along with Katniss. But it's magical the way it works because it sneaks up on you so you don't even really notice it's happening. With all the violence in this book, the character arc is very light-handed. It works brilliantly which is good because honestly, with all the violence this series brings to it, if a single other thing was heavy handed, I don't know that the series would be readable.
In addition to the character arc of the whole series, The Hunger Games in particular, but also Catching Fire are brilliantly paced. I read them both in one day each because I could hardly put them down (even having watched the movies and therefore knowing what was coming). The world building is equally as interesting and dynamic, again, even having watched the movies. The contrast between the Districts, and the Capitol, and then the arena, is striking. I honestly wish we had a spinoff though that took me on a tour of some of the other Districts, particularly four and seven (Finnick and Johanna's Districts). I guess this is what fanfiction is for!
But everyone who follows this blog knows the final word on "good book" is whether you have a book hangover when it's all said and done. And let me tell you, by the time I got to the end of Mockingjay I felt like I might not be in any shape to read for at least a week. It was SUCH an intense ride. And if a series can do that to you when you know how it all ends, then it's definitely doing something right!
What's an older backlist series you really want to read but haven't gotten to yet?

Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
Drawn to the Blues music his parents introduced him to, artists such as Muddy Waters, Son House, Eric Clapton and Albert King, it became obvious to Ash that his ambition as a 14 year old was to become a great Artist like his heroes. Early in his career he co-founded East Midlands based Blues band The Melt aged 16. During the three years of touring and opening for such acts as: Walter Trout, Mountain, Doctor Feelgood and The Animals, the band released there critically acclaimed "self titled" album. It was voted "debut album of the year by Blues In Britain magazine" showing that Ash, just 17, was already a gifted guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Since 2015, in the year following his daughter's birth, Ash's influences of life journeys and reflections, manifested themselves into the message and soul of his debut solo album 'Broken Machine'. The album featured some of the best players on the circuit in Brother, Phil Wilson (Jesse Davy, Laurence Jones) drums, Roger Inniss (Chaka Khan, Laurence Jones) bass, and Bob Fridzema (King King, Dana Fuchs) on keys. The album is a watershed achievement for Ash Wilson in terms of the many musical styles in the tracks, which begin, and end, with the blues at it's core.

This past Sunday evening, September 30, 2007, a friend and myself were driving north on Highway 10, across the Lake Maumelle bridge before Highway 10 intersects with Highway 113. The night was incredibly clear, and the sun had just finished setting; the moon had not yet began to rise. I was traveling in my vehicle at about 55 mph (speed limit) when I looked ahead to the top of Wye Mtn. I saw two rather large lights within close proximity to each other (seemingly part of the same craft), emitting a low burning orange color. The craft was extremely close to the ground and actually appeared to be sitting atop a tree or home on top of the mountain. I sat and stared while slowly pressing on my brakes to prolong the experience and verify what I was seeing. I continued foreword at this point at around 35-38 mph, looking closely to the top of the mountain. After a tree had passed in front of my view and I tried to re-focus on the craft, it wasn't there! I sat back in my seat and kept driving as if nothing had occurred, when my friend looked over at me and asked if I had seen it too. I was beside myself. I kept looking and looking to no avail. We traveled up Highway 113 and saw no more indicators of any craft in the area.

Michael C. Hall (Dexter) is sticking with Showtime, though it will be in a primarily behind-the-scenes role. Hall will take on the title of executive producer for a new series based on the Matthew Specktor novel, American Dream Machine. Set in Hollywood but fluctuating between the 1970s and modern times, the story centers on talent agents and their troubled sons. If the project moves forward to pilot, Hall may be eyeing a small role but will focus mostly on his off-camera duties. Dexter showrunner Scott Buck will supervise the script, also written by Specktor. Hit the jump for more.
THR reports that Hall will serve as executive producer on the American Dream Machine series for Showtime. Meanwhile, Hall will be wrapping up the bloody serial killer series Dexter with its final season that kicks off June 30th.
Here's the book description (via Amazon):
American Dream Machine is the story of two talent agents and their three troubled boys, heirs to Hollywood royalty. It's a sweeping narrative about fathers and sons, the movie business, and the sundry sea changes that have shaped Hollywood and, by extension, American life.
Beau Rosenwald—overweight, not particularly handsome, and improbably charismatic—arrives in Los Angeles in 1962 with nothing but an ill-fitting suit and a pair of expensive brogues. By the late 1970s he has helped found the most successful agency in Hollywood. Through the eyes of his son, we watch Beau and his partner go to war, waging a seismic battle that redraws the lines of an entire industry. We watch Beau rise and fall and rise again, in accordance with the cultural transformations that dictate the fickle world of movies. We watch Beau's partner, the enigmatic and cerebral Williams Farquarsen, struggle to contain himself, to control his impulses and consolidate his power. And we watch two generations of men fumble and thrive across the LA landscape, learning for themselves the shadows and costs exacted by success and failure. Mammalian, funny, and filled with characters both vital and profound, American Dream Machine is a piercing interrogation of the role—nourishing,

The dragoon's routine began at daybreak, when reveille sounded. Fifteen minutes later the stable call was blown, which was repeated 40 minutes before noon and immediately after retreat. The principles for feeding and watering the animals were well established. At reveille about an hour to an hour and a half before drill, the horses were fed a small amount of grain. All the animals were fed the same amount because of the difficulty in measuring individual amounts in the semidarkness and the general hurry before breakfast. After they had eaten, the horses were led out, and during stables, the feed boxes and hayracks were thoroughly cleaned and fresh hay placed in the latter. After morning stables, the horses were watered and tied to their stalls to give them a chance to munch in the hay. The horses were fed in small quantities and often, because the stomach of the animal was small. Usually hay was fed before the corn or grain to cause the animal to eat more slowly. When hay was not available, chaff or shop was mixed with the grain. Horses were never worked hard immediately after a full feed, although during a march, continuing on was not considered harmful.
The horses were watered before they were fed to prevent loss of nourishment or colic. The only exception to this rule being in the morning. Horses could be watered other times also but usually did not require as much. At noon the animals were watered and about four pounds of oats were given to them. Unless it was extremely hot or inclement, the horses were then tied outside. In the evening they were watered, given the remainder of the hay and then about five pounds of oats or corn. If a horse bolted his feed, a few large stones could be place in the manger to prevent his taking large mouthfuls.
The forage ration for horses was fixed at 14 pounds hay or fodder and 12 pounds of oats, corn or barley, but this could not always be met at distant and remote outposts. In the spring of 1844, dragoon horses received a daily allowance of four quarts of corn, six quarts of oats, and 14 pounds of hay. The corn and oats were two quarts shy of the ration.
Almost immediately after the dragoons arrived to construct Fort Scott, bids were asked for 1200 bushels of oats for the dragoon horses "now at Douglas's farm 10 miles from this place." Hay usually was bid in quantities of 250 tons. Prices for the hay varied. In 1847, prairie fires destroyed most of the prairie hay and drove the price up. It may have occurred again in 1850, when the bid accepted was $6.90 a ton. Earlier prices had been as low as $2.25 a ton. Bids for prairie hay called for the hay to be, "merchantable, well cured, well stacked (no ricks) on good bottoms and well salted, with salt furnished by the United States." A ton consisted of 2000 pounds, and the Quartermaster reserved the right to increase or diminish the quantity by one-third after entering into the contract. In 1844, a straw cutter and a hay scale were requisitioned by the Quartermaster, the latter probably to ensure accuracy of weight.
A bushel contained 2150 cubic inches and an Army wagon, when full, held about 49 bushels. A bushel of corn on the cob was rations for one day for five horses. Shelled corn fed four. Ear corn was the feed used whenever available at garrisons. It was preferred to shelled corn, because it quickly could be determined whether it was good or not. Only an expert could tell whether some of the shelled corn was musty. Horses also ate their ear corn more slowly, taking time to bite it and digest it. Troopers felt there was no equal to the ear corn and prairie hay for feeding their horses. In 1842, Daniel Waldo delivered 12,000 bushels of corn at 29 3/4 cents a bushel to the Quartermaster to feed the horses at Fort Scott. Storing the corn and oats was a problem; for as late as 1847 there were no cribs at the post.
A horse's water was as important as the feed. Each animal consumed about eight gallons a day. At Fort Scott, the horses probably were watered at the river: no evidence of watering troughs has been uncovered. An easy method of making a trough during this period was to hollow a tree trunk, all evidence of which probably would have disappeared after the abandonment of the fort. In the twentieth century, watering troughs were built from boards and were high enough to prevent pawing over the rim. Each trough held about eight-to-ten-inch depths of water and was broad enough to allow at least a yard of width for each animal while drinking. The horses were led to the trough and allowed to have their fill, before others were brought up. Watering troughs had to be cleaned, and sick animals were watered separately from buckets.

On Tuesday, a U.S. Senate Committee will decide if the full chamber should vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary despite being unqualified and unfit for the job. Join MEA and AFT Michigan members in demonstrating opposition that day—Wear Red for Public Ed on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
DeVos is no stranger to Michigan educators and students who have suffered under policies pushed by her and her billionaire family's contributions to Republican politicians for years. Her support of unaccountable for-profit charter schools in Michigan has harmed children and communities.
Both of Michigan's U.S. Senators, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, have announced plans to vote against her.
"Betsy DeVos and her family have a long record of pushing policies that I believe have seriously undermined public education in Michigan and failed our children," Stabenow said. "Therefore, I cannot support (her)."
In a speech on the Senate floor, Peters pointed out DeVos' only education experience has involved lobbying for the transfer of taxpayer money to private schools and the rapid expansion of charter schools without sufficient accountability to parents and students.
Most charter schools – about 65 percent – fail to significantly outperform traditional public schools in reading outcomes. In Detroit, 70 percent of charter schools are in the bottom quartile of Michigan's schools—not the results we want to replicate at the national level, Peters said.
"I stand with the many educators and parents in Michigan and across this nation when I say: Mrs. DeVos lacks the experience, qualifications and the right vision to oversee our nation's education system," Peters said. "Simply put, our children deserve better."
Keep up the fight against her confirmation through NEA's Action Alert.
Wear Red for Public Ed on Tuesday to show we remain united by our common belief in great public schools for all of our students!

Debuting for the Western Fury in 2011-12 – what has been the highlight of your career so far?
Being part of the inaugural WBBL with the Perth Scorchers has been an amazing experience. It is an exciting time for women's game and to see it grow so much in such a short time that I have been involved is great for the future of the game.
You have played with some of the best international players in the world in recent seasons including Katherine Brunt, Charlotte Edwards, and Suzie Bates – what have you learnt off these players to try to develop your own game?
It has been an absolute privilege playing with those players over the past few years. Watching how they all prepare for matches has been the biggest learning curve for me. They leave no stone unturned in their preparations and it has been great to get to know them. Charlotte and Suzie have been great mentors in terms of my batting, especially learning how to develop my game to play to all parts of the ground.
Having spent time listening to Matthew Hayden as your cricket role model – what do you admire about him? Do you have a female role model that you look up to in cricket also?
I'm pretty sure I was drawn to Matt Hayden because he was everything I wasn't! A left handed, big bodied, power hitter (something I can only ever dream of being!). Jenny Wallace has been someone I've admired, how she goes about the game, and what she gives back to younger players.
You had a great game in Toowoomba a couple of season ago scoring 95 not out against the Queensland Fire; what are some of the benefits of taking a WNCL game to a regional centre like this?
I'm also from the country and I believe regional cricketers play a vital role in the development of women's cricket. Country players often get lost to other sports or interests. But now there is a very clear pathway for women's cricket and I think we will continue to see more girls from the country develop into really good players who have opportunities in the WBBL and beyond.
Playing limited overs cricket seems to be a strength of your game – do you aspire to further your career within the WBBL competition for the Scorchers?
Yes I would love to take my game to new levels in the WBBL. Sometimes people get carried away with players who can bash it around but good technique is going to score you runs in any format. I'll continue to develop my game to be able to score 360 degrees and having played and trained with Charlotte the past couple of years I have been able to learn a lot about this aspect of batting from her.
How important is the WNCL competition in Australia for the development of young female cricketers?
It is extremely important! With the development of the WBBL competition, it will attract a lot of international players and this means that local players are going to miss out on opportunities in this format. The WNCL competition should ensure that those younger local players get good exposure to state cricket and can improve. I think it's important we don't lose fifty over cricket in the huge hype of Twenty20 cricket.
It is an exciting time for young female cricketers aspiring to higher goals with the WBBL, WNCL and the Southern Stars squads. The move towards professionalism for women's cricketer is exciting and a changing time for female sport – how will this benefit the players like yourself and younger generations to come?
It is a very exciting time to be involved. I think it will create an improved national competition in Australia. If players are able to primarily play cricket then it's going to mean the standard of the women's game will improve drastically. It will also create a lot less anxiety for players regarding financial situations and keep them in the game longer.
What is your dream job apart from cricket and what are the steps needed to get there?
To be honest I am still trying to figure this out!
Having completed a Beyond the Boundary program initiative last year where you spent the week as a physiotherapist with the Perth Glory – was this a good experience and being a physiotherapist a goal for your off-field career in future?
The Beyond the Boundary program is a great initiative by the ACA. It was great to spend time with the Perth Glory and I learnt some great things about the sporting industry. I enjoyed the experience and it helped me realise that physiotherapy isn't a career I see myself following in the near future but that I am keen to keep learning in an off-field capacity. Watch Chloe's Beyond the Boundary video here.
How has the ACA supported young cricketers like yourself to achieve your on-field and off-field goals?
The ACA has helped me immensely particularly providing me a head start with university through an education grant to pursue my studies. Their continued support to help me in my off-field pursuits through the Beyond the Boundary program has been a great experience. It is a massive positive for the women's game and it takes the stress off life outside of cricket which makes it a lot easier to focus on training and playing at my best.
You currently live in Perth – what do you do in your spare time away from cricket?
In my spare time I spend as much time as I can with my family and little nieces who are growing up quickly!
Fun fact about Chloe Piparo most people don't know about you?
I can lick my elbow, which is supposed to be impossible!

It was the comeback that the K-pop industry had been waiting for.
But Suzy's return to music has not gone down well with the entertainment media after disappointing journalists at the showcase for her comeback mini album, "Faces of Love".
On January 29, Suzy held a solo showcase at the YES24 Live Hall in Seoul and held a Q&A with journalists who had watched a lively performance of her forthcoming single.
But according to reports, Suzy gave difficult answers to simple questions, creating an "uncomfortable and unprofessional" atmosphere.
When asked about miss A's disbandment, she vaguely responded, "It's a new challenge to me so I've prepared hard." And when asked about what story she wants to tell with her album, she mumbled, "Love at 25 means…" before giving no further response other than, "Sorry."
Acknowledging the strange question and answer session, Suzy apologised, "I'm sorry for not giving satisfying answers.
Unfortunately the damage was done and headlines on certain websites included, "Suzy, the press will not bite you!" and "An embarrassing comeback show."

Villa Kinousa 2 Reviews
Lovely owner, who met us on arrival. Cleaning was spotless. Views amazing. Loved the local taverna. Cyprus perfect as ever; its why we come back year after year!
This Villa is a perfect way to celebrate our Honeymoon with other couples. We stayed here for our honeymoon and returning to Cyprus after 1 year after our first holiday. This was also a week without our children. The Villa is absolutely perfect well equipped and clean. The views are wonderful and to have a Pergola was relaxing for dinner and drinks. Watching the seaviews was very relaxing. This Villa is great for family. Lots of space and air-conditioning made our evening perfect. We will most certainly be back.
The perfect place for relax! The place of villa is unique. It is situated on the hill, with cypress forest arround and with amazing sea view. The place is easy to access - it is very near to the road to the Achillion and near to the palace itself. The interior is very cosy and makes us feel just like we are home. The comfort and cleanness are excellent. Drinking my morning coffe, enjoying the nice look at the blue sea and feeling calm breeze is incomparable pleasure. I can easily understand why princess Sissy had chosen this place for her summer retreat...
Family Holiday, in a perfect place, We had a wonderful week here with our Girls. Its so close to the beach but also to great supermarket and endless Tavernas , restaurants. The bathrooms and decent size of all three bedrooms help family life hugely. We ate together happily on the pool decked and cooked family meals in the kitchen and used the washing machine, etc. Overall our stay was perfect and villa spotless. Michael Meadows
Fabulous location! Short drive to town with good food and shops of interest. The neighborhood was also nice. house was comfy and nice backyard with pool,BBQ with nice sea views. This was 2nd time at this villa and each time I enjoy more and more.
This was a wonderful villa to stay. You will find everything so peaceful and quite up here. This is a must place to stay.
Villa Kinousa 2 we have stayed 3 times in. My family and I are big fan of Cyprus. You definitely want to hire a car to get around but you will have an awesome time. The people are friendly, fresh seafood almost anywhere. The villa is clean and well equipped and a nice size pool to enjoy.
I had a great experience at this villa and was way more what my friends and I had expected. Very clean and clean pool. We promised to be back.
Stunning Villa with gallery size well equipped kitchen. Superb area, nice outdoor space with beautiful sea views and within walking distance (just) of everything. Think we would want a car if we went in August though due to the heat.

|Consistent Categorization and Identification of Learning ResourcesResources stored in SOL*R are tagged using structured categories and meaningful descriptions (e.g., discipline, specific subject area, year of study, estimated time required for learner to complete, size of resource, media type, and creator/contributor name and institution).
|Easy to find online learning resources that meet very specific pedagogical criteriaLearning resources can be browsed in a variety of ways
|Provides greater visibility and enhanced reputation for originators of online learning resources (because the creator of a learning resource is identified)

This is dedicated to the sequels who are too good to have linear numeric value. This list isn't simply a "worst sequel title" list where an entry would be "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." We aren't looking for the worst sequel subtitle like "Jaws: The Revenge" or "Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan." And something like the James Bond series doesn't apply because they are not direct sequels.
There are established movie franchises that use their base name (i.e. Twilight, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones) and simply add on a 'chapter' title for the movie.
Here, I'm talking about a series of sequel titles in a franchise that keep changing the rules of the titles within the series.
Let's say it's several years in the future and generations of new are curious to watch a franchise. They wanna watch 'Back to the Future.' No problem. Part I, Part II, Part III. The 'Rocky' movies? Sure thing! I, II, III, IV, V, Balboa. Things start to get a little complicated with that one, but it's not hard to decipher.
Then, we get into the franchises that are mind-bogglingly random and twisted, future generations who haven't heard too much of these franchises might not know what order to watch them in without doing a little research first!
Well, I present my top 5 strangest franchise sequel titles!
5. Final Destination franchise
This isn't the worst, which is why it's only number 5. But they had to mess it all up with the fourth movie entitled "THE Final Destination" as opposed to "Final Destination 4." It was understandable at the time, because they wanted it to be the last and FINAL one, so it is "THE FINAL Destination" which isn't that good to begin with because some people may already refer to the first one as that. And do you think general movie-going audiences will know the difference? But then, they came out with another one AFTER that! So it's no longer THE FINAL one! Now the franchise goes like this:
Final Destination
Final Destination 2
Final Destination 3(D)
The Final Destination
Final Destination 5
4. alien franchise
This series started as a horror franchise. Then the sequel turned it into an all-out action movie. So, the subtle change was weird, but understandable. There are more than one Alien in the second movie, so it's not just Alien 2. But the third movie brought it back to one Alien. What to call it now? The only solution is to give it a numerical value. It's the third movie, so "Alien 3." Now this is the only one with a number, because the fourth one, for whatever reason, went with the moniker,"Alien Resurrection." It may have multiple meanings, but this time there are more than one alien again. So, now the franchise goes:
Alien 3
Alien Resurrection
3. Die Hard Franchise
I've addressed these titles before in my 'Die Hard Retrospective' but here they are again. This is a special case where the series started out clear cut, but the director of the first movie wanted to make the third movie a true sequel to the first one and so he didn't want to acknowledge it being the actual third movie in the franchise, so they gave it a phrased title. And the sequels just followed suit in weird ways. Now they're puns on sayings. So, now the franchise goes:
Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Live Free or Die Hard
A Good Day to Die Hard
2. Fast and Furious Franchise
This series is just a mess. They didn't know what they were doing when naming the first sequel, so the next installments had no rules to follow and just called themselves whatever they wanted. The worst offender is the fourth movie. It is practically the title of the first movie without the word "The" and using an ampersand for the word "And." It's the fourth movie and it bares a title way too close to the original. I've actually overheard people at a video store get confused on which movie they were talking about; the first or the fourth one. Then came "Fast Five." I liked it because I'm not a fan of the series and the movie broke out of the mold, so it's almost like a reboot title while acknowledging it's place. Then, the sixth movie came out and all the promotional material say "Fast & Furious 6", which is all well and good until the movie itself showcases the title as simply "Furious 6." I like it. It is a nice companion title to 'Fast Five.' But now, we have a franchise that goes like this:
The Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fast & Furious
Fast Five
Furious 6
1. Rambo Franchise
It's pretty bad when you refer to the series as the "Rambo" series when the only one with the title "Rambo" is the fourth movie. This series just went through a complete title transition, but remains confusing. The original movie is just "First Blood." It features the character, John Rambo. The sequel demotes "First Blood" to a subtitle. The third movie just doesn't give a shit. They know what movie series this is. It's Rambo's series. But it's the third movie, so just call it "Rambo III." But in a shocking move, the fourth movie comes out and is just named "Rambo." Just "Rambo." So, now, when you talk about the movie "Rambo", you can be referring to any of these movies. The other day, I mentioned the fourth movie "Rambo" to my friend to which he responded,"The first one?"
So, now we have a franchise that goes like this:
First Blood
Rambo: First Blood Part II
Rambo III
E.J. is just a simple man who loves movies. Don't judge.
